Are you new to internet marketing? If so, you may be looking for a crash course. Online, you will find a lot of information on using article directories, banner exchanges, and search engine optimization to market your business website. Yes, these are all effective approaches, but consider the unconventional approaches that arent always discussed in great detail. One example is Twitter.

Twitter is an online social networking community that is user based. Members create a free account, develop a list of contacts, and then send and receive messages. Responses are sent with the use of @replies. These messages are 140 characters or less in length. They are sent through various avenues, including some mobile web applications, RSS, Facebook, and the Twitter website.

At first glance, Twitter looks like nothing more than a common social networking website. Yes, it is, but there is more to this popular service. Remember, it can be an effective internet marketing tool. You can advertise your website, blog, products, or services in messages known as Tweets. You can create interest and clicks with catchy Tweets and links.
