Twitter marketing is a technique where we use this micro-blogging site to make connections and increase the traffic rate. Anyone can sign up for an account and create an instant online presence. With just a few clicks, your marketing messages can be sent to your followers who can choose to resend (retweet) them to their followers. This can gives rise to a viral effect to your marketing message and the link it contains brings in quality traffic. Zappos has used Twitter to bring in a lot of new business and created a strong presence in their niche.
