Why Care About Adding a twitter Button to Your Website?

Twitter recently passed their one hundred million user milestone and while many skeptics may scoff at this number while questioning how many of those are active users. To those skeptics, I say consider this:

According to a recent Experian 2011 Social Media Consumer Trend and Benchmark Report [Source: Experian Simmons, August 15, 2011] report released to the public, Twitter users, on average, now make 16 or more monthly visits to Twitter.com, up from just 21% who made that many monthly visits last year.

In addition, the Experian report found that twitter users spent an average of 12 minutes and 41 seconds during a typical visit to Twitter.com. One question to ask yourself is whether or not they are interacting with you brand while they are on twitter or just your competitors.

Chances are, if you have a twitter account and are not promoting it with a twitter follow button on your website and blog, you are missing an opportunity. The Experian study excludes mobile data, which means an argument could be made that if you add in mobile twitter usage, the data would skew the numbers significantly higher as many twitter users access their accounts as much on the go with their smartphone as they do form their non-mobile devices. I know I do. If you are reading this, then you probably do too.

The good news is that adding a twitter button to your website or blog can be done in minutes, if you are technical or have technical resources.
