A Closer Look
Some of our top referrals are Facebook, Twitter, and my personal Tumblr page.
•On Facebook: Users visit our website before deciding to “Become a Fan” of our page
•On Tumblr: I have a certain audience who like what I post, so they usually end up clicking the “HilalSpark” link in the sidebar.
•The most interesting source of traffic for us at this time is Twitter.

How Twitter Works
Saturday, February 27, 2010
Remarkable Content =
More Followers

“What a dinner! Headed to the bathroom now to take care of some business!”
“Err, stupid itch on my back!! Won’t go away!!1!1”
“OMG!! Kutner died in House! This is CRAAZZYYY!”

Having thousands of followers doesn't mean anything.
It's better to have
100 real followers who are interested in your content rather than
10,000random followers, of which many are likely spam bots.

We took a closer look into our Twitter stats to see how many clicks we were receiving on the links we tweeted. We also looked at what days of the week we were getting the most clicks.
Saturday, February 27, 2010
Here’s What We Noticed
•The days of the week that we were getting the most clicks on our links were Tuesdays and Thursdays (Thursdays slightly more).
•The time of the day we were getting the most clicks was between 10am and 2pm EST.

What worked for us, may not necessarily work for you since everyone has a different audience.
Saturday, February 27, 2010
Garry McCaffrey made a blog post about the time of the day when he receives the most traffic through Twitter, which was between 9am and 3pm.
As you can see, our stats were very close to his.
Saturday, February 27, 2010
Also, some people state that Friday evenings are the best time to get the most clicks on Twitter.
It didn't work for us, but it might work for you.

The more closely you watch your metrics, the better you will understand how to utilize the most out of these social media networks.
