Twitter has become biggest social networking website after Facebook but to be succeeded with twitter, you should have sufficent followers. Not only you can promote your website but you can also earn money from twitter.
When I started this website, I thought it would be easy to earn money online. But after reading so many articles and ebooks on how to make money online and ebooks on search engine optimization, I realized that making money online is not an easy task. Writing articles is nothing, if no one is reading it. Your site is non-existent if no one visits your site. With no visitors, no one will click the ads and no money will be generated from the site. So, after posting around ten articles, I started to apply the different techniques of driving traffic to my site. I learned some of these tips of driving traffic to my blog from other successful bloggers, a lot of ebooks and printed books related to getting visitors to view my site. One of my online mentors is Marhgil Macuha of Macuha.com. Another website that I find very useful in my early blogging is Selaplana.com. I owe a lot from these two guys.
I must admit that driving traffic to your blog will demand a great deal of patience, time, and effort. But there is really no shortcut to it. It really takes a lot of understanding, before you can get traffic to freely flow to your website.

That would be embarrassing and will surely affect how you drive traffic to your blog. Avoid getting in trouble with other bloggers, be friendly to them and they will be willing to help you.
There are various of terms when it comes to calculation of web traffics. Some statistics give you report in terms of daily and monthly unique visitors; some provides more – Pageviews, Hits, etc. You could have heard webmasters claiming their sites to have more than 1 million hits a month. But how big is 1 million hits, does that means they have 1 million visitors every month? Here’s a brief explanations for those who are confuse how figures in these web statistic terms are generated.
Measuring traffics in hits usually returns you a proudly large number. Hits is also known as request and it’s the total number of files loaded when a single page is requested from the web server. So how hits are calculated? Picture this – a single web page with 20 images (transparent.gif, header-background.gif, etc)is loaded, that’s 20 hits for starters. The web page has 10 photos (jammie.jpg, group-photo.jpg, etc), that’s another 10 hits. if you add up the CSS files, Javascript files and all the external files, each time a web page is loaded, it can easily build up more than 50 hits. If you clear cache, reload the page, another 50+ hits again.
Hits are rarely used to to judge a website’s traffic nowadays as they are not really accurate. The numbers are big and certainly cool, but generally useless.
Pageviews is a calculation of how many times a page is viewed. Say a visitor lands on your main page, that’s 1 pageview. Same visitor clicks to About Us page, that’s another pageview. By dividing total pageviews with total unique visitors, you can get an idea how many pageviews each visitor generates.
Impression is more or less a marketing term, normally calculated in bulk of 1000. It counts how many times a element (image, text, video) appears on a web page. If a advertisement network is paying $3/CPM (Cost Per Thousand Impressions), that means you are getting paid $3 when the banner appears 1000 times on your web page. Adbrite is also a cpm based ad network that can monetized your website.
Visits is normally equivalent to unique visitors. Think of it as the number of different people (different IP) that visits your web page. Visits or unique visitors are the most essential numbers of all, when it comes to determine the traffic of a specific site

When your blog have more than 1000 posts. You will be able to get a lot of traffic and therefore, your AdSense Earnings will increase tremendously.
***Make sure that you create quality contents, do not simply "bang" on a topic and then create a low quality post about it. Create the contents properly and make it looks good. Keep your visitors coming and generate readerships to your blog.

The search engines notice and watch their movement on your site, if you write good content hopefully they will continue further into you site structure. As this takes placesearch engines notice and they will see the relevance in your site. And soon your higher ranking keywords will be found in the search engines , and this will cause greater traffic.
