Twitter matters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BookMarket.com’s Alexa rank was 169,425 in late January. On May 3rd BookMarket.com’s Alexa rank was 89,308! That 80,000 jump was due to my Twitter activity.
As a bonus, 10% of the visitors to BookMarket.com now come directly from Twitter. That’s about 10,000 new unique visitors each month coming from Twitter. Are you on Twitter yet? Why not?
