Here are some general suggestions for you to get more Twitter traffic:

  • Have an interesting profile, otherwise people will be bored and leave. Make the most of the space that you have.
  • Usernames matter. Pick one that is keyword-oriented around your website for the best result.
  • Include your URL(s) in your profile. Website, blog, Facebook, etc. All of these links will help.
  • Share your Twitter profile to associates, clients, coworkers, friends, family, and anyone else who cares.
  • Find Twitter users who have similar interests, and follow them. Invite them to follow you, also.
  • Socialize, socialize, socialize. You need to make friends and be sure to follow people who are following you and keep up on posts. If you don’t utilize your Twitter account, people won’t visit your profile.
  • Tweet. Although you currently might not even know what a tweet is (posting something on Twitter), you need to do it on a regular basis. If you haven’t tweeted since a month ago, people can see that.
  • Fight the urge to spam! It can be tempting to invite everyone, send mass emails, and so on. However, that’s spamming and it will only earn you a bad reputation.
  • Twitterfeed is your friend. Use it to manage your feeds and help you with Twitter.
  • Become the apple of Twitter Search’s eye. Utilize your tweets to post relevant, hot news updates. You will be more easily found on search and you will reap the rewards.
  • Personalize with gadgets and tools. You can add various custom features to your website from Twitter, including one that allows blog readers to become Twitter followers with one click.

These are some of the best ways to get traffic from Twitter to your website, but there are also several others that you can consider.

If you’re creative with your tactics, you will generally be able to find more traffic generation tools and tips for Twitter on your own as you go along.
