I’ve been looking into all the difference Twitter related plugins for WordPress, all the different services starting up for Twitter and thinking about how you can promote yourself through Twitter. As a result of this I’ve come up with what I think is the perfect setup for promoting your WordPress blog through Twitter. Basically, here is my setup:

1. I use Tweetmeme (the little icon top right of this post) to try and encourage to re-tweet my blog post.
2. I have TwitterUpdater, so that when I write a post and publish straight away, it announces it on my twitter feed.
3. When I do scheduled posts, TwitterUpdater won’t notify twitter, in order to do this you need to use TweetLater – which can also allow you to follow people who follow you, automatically.
4. I am using Twollow to follow other people, based on keywords.
5. I am also using TweetLater to keep an eye on keywords on Twitter, such as my name, domain name etc.

And that’s how you can maximise the amount of traffic you get from Twitter. If you have any more suggestions, please let me know. (P.S. This is a scheduled post – so it’s also a kind of a test to see if TweetLater and my WordPress plugin can get it right. It might go horrible wrong because my WordPress is an hour behind!)
