will simply ignore tweets that are too long. Tweets are a great way to bring traffic to your site

Tip #2 Include a Short Link
When you tweet, you can increase traffic to your website by including a link. Use one of the
programs available to create a short link to make better use of limited spaces. Never put more
than one link in your tweet or it will annoy followers and are flagged as spam.
Tip #3 Learn the Value of Retweets
One of the things that make Twitter so powerful is the ability to retweet. Retweet allows a person
to quickly see your message go viral. Don’t assume followers will retweet – make sure you ask
them! Tweets are limited to 140 characters so leave around 20 characters free for those who are
retweeting.
Tip #4 Understand Your Followers
It pays to take a little time to understand those people who are following you. Learn the
preferences of your followers such as any specific interests they might have. And of course, if
you aren’t sure, there’s no reason why you cannot ask. However, in most cases if you closely
monitor your followers and who they are reading, talking, and retweeting, you’ll quickly
understand your followers, which also means you will better understand the visitors to your site.
Tip #5 Follow Twitters With Similar Interests
Having followers follow you is important but you following others is also important. Find
tweeters with similar interest to you and follow them. Many times you’ll get a return follow
back.
