Hey Guys,
A couple of months ago I started an experiment to see if it was possible to grow my Twitter traffic & reach without doing a huge amount of work.
I have tried a few different approaches over that time and have fine tuned the method to require as little work as possible to get the biggest results possible.
In this tutorial I?m going to share the results with you and then show you how you can do it yourself!
What You Will Learn
The Results
To kick things off I?m going to show the results of my experiment and then we?ll move into how I did it.
The entire experiment took me less than 30 minutes to setup and since then I have not had to do any additional work.
All of the growth is happening on complete auto pilot which is just how I like to do things so I can focus my limited time elsewhere while everything is growing.
Below you can see a summary of the results before & after the experiment-
If we look at that in percentage terms-
They are some very nice increases across the board for not much work!
To show you what that looks like in graph from lets take a look at what TwitterCounter has tracked.
You can quite clearly see the impact the experiment had almost immediately after starting on July 8th 2014.
You will also notice that it flat lines at the start of August ? that is due to my VPS crashing and I was at Affiliate Summit, my bad.
Google Analytics
While we are delving into the data let?s also take a look at the uplift in traffic via Google Analytics.
Overview
Here you can see the Google Analytics results for the period Jun 8th 2014 ? September 6th 2014 broken down by week.
A Closer Look
We can also take a closer look at those graphs to get more clarification.
Before ? 34.35 Visits Per Day Average
After ? 69.64 Visits Per Day Average
Take note of the different scales used on the analytics graphs above. The before shot uses 0-100 while the after shot uses 0-140.
How Did I Do It?
So now you?ve seen the results of the experiment, it?s time to show you precisely how I did it so you can replicate the results!
This is exact setup I?m running-
It took me less than 30 minutes to set all of that up to run on complete auto pilot day in day out while I?m doing other things.
You can learn how I did that in my full post which to big to publish here or download the PDF here.
Ps. I'm speaking at the UnGagged conference in November - if you are there it will be great to grab a drink! Let me know if you are there - if you are not, you should be!

How Did I Do It?
So now you?ve seen the results of the experiment, it?s time to show you precisely how I did it so you can replicate the results!
This is exact setup I?m running-
- Follow anyone that uses the #SEO hashtag
- Unfollow anyone that doesn?t follow back within 7 days
- Auto tweet articles that hit the front page of inbound.org
- Favourite tweets that contain the #SEO hashtag
- Auto tweet previous content from the archives
It took me less than 30 minutes to set all of that up to run on complete auto pilot day in day out while I?m doing other things.
