Hi Trish,
Twitter tends to be fast and short-lived, as you mention. However, a consistent twitter presence will drive people to a website for new information on a regular basis. If used this way, I find that Twitter actually has a decent conversion rate. I also recommend a specific Twitter landing page on the website – this also really helps with conversions. Thanks for your question – wonder if anyone else following this conversation has a thought on this.

I just had one question regarding the tweets. Do you feel the follow through on tweets gets converting traffic, or is it to fast and to short lived of an environment to have any effect on traffic converting into a email or a conversion for a website? Just wondering because we have not seen a big effect with twitter and a good amount with facebook. Maybe its just our website http://www.generationrecycle.org. Thanks!

Hi Are,
Thanks! I’d love to read about which Twitter tools you use for social sharing that contain analysis as well. Feel free to stop by again and post them!

Hi Debra.

Great article here.

Been looking for some new strategies to analyze my social media efforts. Have some great tools I use for Twitter. But was looking to expand it to cover a wider area of my efforts.

I use Sociable for my bookmark option, and I might also check into AddThis.

The Facebook share widget was just one of those reminders you need some days.

Thanks..

Cheers.. Are

Thank you so much for the prompt reply. I appreciate it a great deal! I’ll be watching out for any feedback you can get from AddThis. Yes, the FF extension can do the trick pretty well, really excited to learn more about ways to track our performances on bookmarking sites.

Hi Ching Ya,
I don’t know the answer to your question, but my guess is that it would not show statistics for actions not taken via the AddThis button. You can see that via the Google Analytics Firefox Extension. However, as I noticed, I do think that extension misses some of the stumbles. Just to be sure, I’ll ask the question in the AddThis user’s forum.

Thanks so much for jumping from Facebook over here to leave your comment and question!

Debra,

I was very excited upon seeing this topic in Facebook, gotta jump over and leave you a message no matter what.

May I ask about AddThis, impressive as it is for able to keep track of readers’ behaviors in post-sharing: Is it only limited to readers who shared through ‘Add This’? What if I stumbled the post outside AddThis? will that be included somehow?

Thanks in advance.
