Follow on Twitter

by M LeMont

Have you noticed that the number of Retweets and Likes is declining?

But if you are an Author or Marketer who cares, right?

The only thing that really matters is “Link Clicks” to your Amazon product page or website,” but Clicks also seem to be falling.

Here’s what’s happening.

People are finding different ways of sharing content using private channels like Twitter Direct Messages, Chat Groups, Texts, Email, Facebook Messenger, What’s App, Etc.

While public engagement is a great way to build relationships on Twitter, it is also a great way to find conversation starters.

Twitter urges users to "spark conversations and support your points of view by sharing tweets from your timeline, even if they're from people who aren't part of the direct message."

According to studies, 65-85% of users share links outside of social media channels, making it hard to identify.

The other day I had a message pop on my iPhone that said text this Tweet to anyone in your Contact List.

If you’ve shared a tweet this way, then you’re using “Dark Social,” the word Dark means it’s impossible to track where the link originated.

Thousands of people share tweets privately-- copying links and sending them to friends, family, coworkers, and having discussions about your tweet-- Referral marketing at its best.

The bad part is the activity doesn’t show up in your stats as Clicks.

You can only track it by using a link shortener tracking system like Bilty that lists them as Direct (Dark Social)

Here’s what it looks like for one of my tweets.

Nov 2

Total Clicks 75

Email, SMS, Direct 57 (Dark Social)

Other Websites 14

Twitter 4

A total of 75 Tweets and 57 were unidentified, and another 14 were from websites that posted the link, but Twitter Analytics only reported 4 Link Clicks.

What is 'Email, SMS, Direct' in my Referrers analytics?

Bitly explains it like this.

'Email, SMS, Direct' is any website traffic that doesn't provide referral information.

For example, when a link is accessed via an email, text message, or directly pasted into a browser, it starts a new browser experience, and Bitly cannot identify where it originated.

The industry standard term is 'Dark Traffic', which is not specific to Bitly.

And remember, Twitter Analytics doesn't recognize all the traffic, so it would appear that you had no clicks.

Now you know how to effectively track the data by tagging your tweets with a link shortener.

It will help you make better marketing decisions and keep you from getting discouraged and throwing in the towel.

Pièce de resistance... Now, I've saved the best for last, 'The Twitter Secret Key Revealed On Steroids,' and Go Beyond 100,000. Sign up for the 30-Day FREE Trial.

“I love the RTL Twitter Follow Strategy! Having the right people to follow and following them at the right times, with the accounts right there before me, is like having my meals delivered to my doorstep. Following has never been easier. Thank you, M LeMont" - TGB

This innovative approach is akin to igniting rocket boosters, propelling you forward by saving precious time in your search for the right accounts to follow—and eliminating wasted effort and mental stress, the three primary reasons why people quit trying to gain followers.

In just a few targeted follow sessions every day, you will gain followers quickly like never before. The strategy revolves around strategically following accounts of retweeters, but rest assured, these are not your ordinary retweeters. Through rigorous testing and proprietary techniques, I have meticulously selected them from high-performing categories with the highest follow-back percentages.

Here's how it works

During the 30-Day Free Trial, I will send Primetime messages containing tweets for you to vet and follow the people who have retweeted them. Yes, you heard it right – vet and follow those who have retweeted the tweets. To begin, click on 'retweets,' which will display a list of everyone who has retweeted the tweet within the last 24 hours. These retweeters are the accounts you should follow if they meet my rigorous criteria.

Moreover, the tweets are focused on highly selective categories in the US and UK, as these categories have consistently shown the highest success rates for follow-backs, ranging from 50% to 85% of the time. By targeting these categories, you can maximize your chances of gaining new followers.

Additionally, leveraging different time zones will allow you to optimize engagement, as retweeters are more likely to follow back, particularly when they have been recently active online.

The key to the success of this strategy is to access the tweets while they are still fresh, and the retweeters are actively using Twitter. By being prompt in vetting and following them, you can position yourself at the top of their follow-backs and greatly increase your chances of gaining new followers.

I highly recommend signing up for The Twitter Secret Key Revealed on Steroids 30-Day FREE Trial! It will make gaining followers so much easier and stress-free.

One Other Huge Benefit
