i used to use a twitter site named hootsuite.com. im not exactly sure where the list was found but everytime i twittered i got like 30 hits to that link IMMEDIATELY, like within seconds. they have a plug-in for im sure firefox that goes in your toolbar that you hit, a window pops up and has a link to the thread you just posted. it has the thread title or you can add more. the same shows up in your twitter. you can check stats for what links people are hitting. a very wise decision. i PROMISE you will get people coming to your site if you have things of interest to them. i am no longer allowed on the list because i would re-tweet like 30 threads all at once like every 3 hours because it worked. id tweet, open my site and like 70 to 100 people would be there
Well mate, you said in your introduction you got loads of visitors but not a lot of sign ups on your forum, perhaps this is why? It might just be bot traffic.
i post links at a specific site and monitor statcounter daily, theyre all the links that i have posted at that site. and they all thank me by displayname and talk to me too
