A lot of us use Twitter to promote our articles. Doing this gets your message out to a vast audience. Some of these people may decide to visit your site and some may not. Either way, Twitter is a very powerful communication tool. Now, there is something you should know about Twitter. Twitter has an interface that’s available to programmers. Why do you care? I'm so glad you asked!

The Twitter interface that is available to programmers allows them to write applications that take data from the public timeline among other things. This means that those quick little tweets don't necessarily die right away. Instead, they are stored by various people around the world. By using your website's link as much as possible, you build additional links back to your site because of the fact that the data is stored.  This means that whenever possible you should use your domain name in your link instead of using software to cut your url down.

In some cases, using your own url may be impossible. What I've started doing is linking directly to my home page when using Twitter. I write my message about the current article showing there. This will increase the relevance of that page in the search engine world. Think about using this strategy the next time you are using Twitter.
