It's no big secret twitter is huge. In fact it's quickly becoming the most highly effective way to drive traffic to any website. The problem is understanding how twitter marketing really works. "Tweets" or messages are short limited to 140 characters and so you need to be quick and to the point.

Here are five strategies that can turn you into a twitter marketing traffic machine.

* Keep it Real. Be a real person and share your thoughts, dreams, frustrations and others things on twitter. It just doesn't always have to be about your next business proposal. Learn to connect with people beyond the business realm and be social. After all isn't that what social marketing is about?

* Be Controversial. Like it or not everyone loves controversy. It attracts attentions and gains "buzz". That's the reason why so many celebrities and music stars use it, because it works. Be opinionated in your "tweets" and watch your list of followers grow.

* Tweet about Nothing. Again no one comes to twitter to be sold a product and no one definitely comes to twitter looking for a deal. So instead why not just have some fun, tweet about everything and nothing, just remember to keep it interesting and people will follow what you do.

* Confucious Say Post A Quote. Everyone loves motivational messages and quotes so why not post a few and see what happens. Not only will you gain a few visitors you just might make someone's day, now there's a potential customer for life.

* Be Cool Man. Twitter marketing shouldn't always be about marketing. Most people could care less about whatever it is your trying to pitch them when they come to twitter. No one is visiting twitter looking for a deal. Instead people come to post news, funny videos from Youtube and just plain hang out. So when in Rome do as the Romans do, have some fun and be cool.

The whole point behind the article is to get you away from directly thinking about twitter marketing from a traditional marketing point of view because that just doesn't work. Try it and you'll quickly find yourself losing all your followers. Instead be a real person, interact with people, have fun and "tweet" about stuff people enjoy. In the end you'll still gain all the visitors your looking for to your website not because of your tweets but because of who you are.
