That’s right! A good Twitter contest can bring viral traffic to your website. For instance, let’s say that you have a Twitter contest and you are giving away a gift card. One person with 1000 followers on Twitter sends a tweet about your contest. Then let’s say that 500 of his followers retweet or enter the contest. Then it could go viral and people all over the place would know that your site, product or service exists. Think of the potential customers and the publicity you could receive in the land of social media.

This is where Tweet and Win comes in. We can build a Twitter contest on one of our pages, set up the links to your site that people are going to tweet out and then watch as people tweet and retweet links back to your page. While contestants are doing this they are having fun trying to get tickets (tickets=Tweets) to be entered into the drawing. The more times a person Tweets or gets others to click the links to your site, the better the chance that person has of getting their name picked randomly by the contest software.
