		<description>Hey guys, - for those of you who spend a few dimes to win millions and not be scammed: here is a good no download casino place that accepts usa players and gives away cash bonuses every day. They also have blackjack, video poker, slot machines, roulette &#38; craps available. 
Last week I won almost 2K there myself, and the payout was smooth and fast. Highly recommended: 
&lt;a href="http://casinosupermarches.sierragoldcasino.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;online casino, poker, blackjack, slot machines, roulette and craps games and bonuses&lt;/a&gt;
 

Just my three cents.</description>

		<description>There's definitely a right and a wrong way to pursue these new marketing strategies. 

Sure, you could (as suggested) hire a celebrity spokesperson to Tweet and hope that folks are drawn in. Of course, you'll pay for the celeb, you'll pay to get the word out that this is going on, etc. In the end, you might wonder if it was worth it vs say, having the celeb blog or frequently mention your product on facebook.</description>

		<description>It's not rocket science. All you have to do is find a way to put your product/service alongside the real twitter message (as an ad), rather than as the twitter message itself. 

Like for instance, you could hire a big celebrity who has a large following on twitter, and get him to become your spokesman and include your latest ad campaign micro-site link in his bio. The fact that the celeb is hawking stuff on twitter will make a big splash in the media, which just brings more attention to your ad.</description>

		<description>I am very new to this twitter business; but so far I can only find good side of twitter - as it has definitely helped my site by facilitating visits by many of the "twitterites" searching for coupons and deals. As a new player in coupon distribution market, I personally thank the Twitter team for everything they have done to couponchooser.com

Thanks for bringing up this important discussion. Twitter provides a platform to facilitate two key things... relationship and transparency. Those two elements make it a hit for celebrities and marketers alike. It is a platform to be real with your following, and build relationship with them. 

For marketers you can drive sales and traffic by accident, but it usually works better if you have a strategy. I recently wrote about this and even gave suggested targets as to the content of your tweets so as to maximize this. 

It is also important to participate in conversations taking place within your following as well as trending topics. Larger companies will create a position for Twitter activities, but it isn't necessary for small businesses or entrepreneurs who carve out a few minutes a few times a day to engage their following.

The entire article is available at http://www.marketingprofessor.com/social-marketing/3-rules-of-using-twitter-for-business/

Lastly, in order to determine ROI, it is important to measure. In a recent month, I've found 4% of traffic comes from twitter, and optins to the newsletter is from twitter visitors is 260% than the most popular search engine.</description>
