Dan, thanks for this useful information. When I started using twitter, I was told that it was a good place to promote your business. As my followers started getting bigger, I started doing some tracking myself and found that there it really does not work anymore.

I have stopped now and do it once in a while when there is a big occassion to tell my twitter friends. And the action is much better than random tweeting. I prefer bringing them to my blog for informative information and then they can wander around on my blog.

Yes I am a humble follower of your knowledge sharing.

I know this is a very late comment, but some of your stuff holds true, but some of it needs more analysis. True: on days I tweet alot I get less CTR. However, on days after I tweet a lot I get more CTR. If I cut my total tweeting down, I get better CTR on each day, but tweeting more than 5 times per day seems to be necessary to get people to see me. Worth noting by tweeting, I am actually talking about RT'g, as almost all of what I tweet is RTs of stuff that I am passing on.

Dan, this is partially true. But cumulatively the optimum is somewhere around 5-10 posts per day. Assume you send a single post and get 30%. Good your CTR is 0.3. Now if you send 5 posts your average CTR is 0.45 (15% of 5). This rate seems to stay more or less the same till 10 posts: 0.45 – 0.5 CTR. After then it declines.

So glad to discover that my lack of frequent tweeting is a GOOD thing.

Your business strategy is very good, and I think changes in Twitter will provide a well concept to the modern society. I like it and must try to know more about it.
… Thanks for your great contribution….

are you tweeting 3 times the same msg?
i think that it's not good thing. If you want to get noticed, carefully choose ppl that you want to follow. I think it's better to have less followers/following with same interests then thousands of followers/following that are not interested in what you want to say.

that's my opinion, maybe i'm wrong

hey Jay,
today i searched about digital media on twitter and i saw that almost evry tweet contains LINK.
how can i decide which link or tweet is important for me?
There is bunch of links on twitter, most of them are just commercials of brands and products.
then i think of your line “Enough already! I've had enough!” !!!

Till now, I was doing exactly opposite to what you have mentioned here. That is, I was giving more tweets and getting few clicks. You opened my eyes by posting this amazing article about twitter. I am very thankful to you for letting me to know about this most important topic. You must have done some good research to write this blog post. Thanks once again.

This basically confirms the law of scarcity from a marketing perspective. Everyone is “marketing” their tweets (ie. trying to get opened/clicked or “see me” as Seth Godin has said). Intutively I was hoping that less tweets per hour would equal a higher clickthrough rate. It leads to better quality, UNLESS you are forwarding great info. that others have seen. The problem is, when you forward a bunch of great tweets onto your followers one tweet then competes with the next one for your Tweeps time

One completely opposite perspective is that of internet marketers. Pure “tactical” marketers want volume of clickthroughs so they play the game of numbers and increase their tweets. They know that the lower clickthrough rate won't offset the sheer “attention” they are garnering. It is why some of the biggest spammers were utilizing @Tweetlater to post every 6 to 20 minutes and they were asked by Twitter to remove that functionality.

This analysis clearly illustrates that people seeing to become “authority” figures in their respective niches would be better served to tweet less often

Nice work Dan!
