Do you want more Twitter traffic? Well who doesn’t. One of the best ways to get more Twitter traffic is to get more retweets… but you already know that.
But do you know how to get more retweets? Other than the basic things like write great content or add Twitter buttons to your website there has to be advanced ways to get more retweets, right?
Well there is! Here are 10 ways to get more retweets:
Avoid least tweetable words
Out of 30 million tweets analyzed, here are the words that tend to be retweeted the least:
- game
- going
- haha
- lol
- but
- watching
- work
- home
- night
- bed
- well
- sleep
- gonna
- hey
- tomorrow
- tired
- some
- back
- bored
- listening
And here are the most retweeted words:
- you
- please
- retweet
- post
- blog
- social
- free
- media
- help
- please retweet
- great
- social media
- 10
- follow
- how to
- top
- blog post
- check out
- new blog post
If you are trying to get the most retweets, you should avoid using the least favorable words in your tweets and stick with the favorable ones instead.
Time your tweets
Did you know that 48% of Twitter users are based in Eastern Standard Time? Or that 6% of all retweets happen during 5PM EST? And if you want to get more specific, did you know that tweets that occur on Wednesday get the most visibility?
So if you want to get the most retweets consider tweeting out messages on Wednesday at 5PM EST.
Time peoples tweets
You already know that you can place Twitter buttons on your website to get more retweets, but wouldn’t you ideally want people to click the retweet button during 5PM EST?
If you just use the normal Twitter button, you can’t control when people retweet your content. But if you use the Buffer Twitter button, you can control when someones tweet goes out.
The way it works is that people click the Buffer tweet button and it automatically pushes the tweet out during ideal times instead of pushing it out instantly. This way it gets the most visibility, which should help those tweets get more retweets.
Tweet quotes
If you follow me on Twitter you’ll notice that I tweet a lot of quotes. Whether it’s quotes I am coming up with or others are, they tend to get anywhere from 20 to a few hundred retweets.
The reason I tweet these quotes is because it’s not only causing my followers to get used to retweeting my stuff, but I am also growing my follower count through this tactic.
Plus if I tweet a quote and then tweet about something else within a minute, that second tweet tends to get retweeted an additional 4.1%. So if you want to increase your retweets start to tweet quotes.
Place retweet buttons throughout your blog posts
I wrote a blog post on “business advice in 3 words” last year and the post got over 417 retweets. The reason it was so successful is because for every phrase I used to describe business, I added a tweet button next to it.
In total the post had 54 retweet buttons. And out of the 417 plus retweets, 283 of them came from the 54 retweet buttons within the blog post.
Don’t be afraid to place retweet buttons within your copy whenever you have an interesting phrase that people may like. It can drastically increase how many retweets you get. It has worked well for me and other blogs like On Startups.
Add links within your tweets
As simple as it may sound, there is a huge difference between tweets with a link and ones without links.
If you look at the image above you’ll notice that 18.96% of all tweets contain a link. But 56.69% of all retweets contain a link. So if you want your tweets to be retweeted, you’ll have better odds if you include a link.
Let people pay you with a tweet
Have you thought about a concept in which people can pay you with a tweet? For example, Simply Measured lets you gain access to some of their products if you tweet about them. And if you want to use some of their advanced features without having to pay, they usually ask you to tweet about them again.
This method has helped the company attract over an extra 1000 new customers each month.
Another example of this is to give away a free White Paper or E-book. But to get access to this free material you can request a tweet, which should help you get more downloads.
Build relationships
Networking doesn’t have to take place offline. Every week I try to get to know at least 5 Twitter users that have over 20,000 followers. I do so by direct messaging them, communicating with them through email, tweeting at them, and retweeting some of their tweets.
After my relationship with these users grow over time, every once in a while I’ll ask them to retweet some of my tweets. And because they have a ton of followers, that tweet also gets retweeted a handful of times.
If you can build relationships with enough power users, you can ask them at all at once to retweet some of your tweets, which should cause your numbers to go through the roof.
Use 1.62 Syllables per word
Simplicity isn’t the key to retweets. If your website has a higher readability grade level and you use more syllables per word, you’re more likely to get retweets.
If you look at the image above, you’ll notice that most retweets contain 1.62 syllables per tweet. While most tweets contain 1.58 syllables per word.
So don’t try to dumb things down… don’t be afraid to sound smart. 
People follow hashtags
Yes, people do follow people, but they also follow hashtags. Just look at the trending sections area on Twitter or better yet, check out Trendistic to see what hashtags are being used right now.
Did you know that 1% to 2% of the tweets on Twitter include hashtags? That may not sound like a lot but with over 200 million tweets a day, anywhere from 2 to 4 million of them contain hashtags.
So if you can leverage popular hashtags, your tweets will be more likely seen by others, which will cause more retweets.
Conclusion
Getting retweets isn’t an art, it’s a science. If you leverage the information above, you’ll maximize how many retweets you’ll get. So it give it a whirl, try to use just a few of the tips above and you’ll start to see more retweets.
So do you know of any other ways to get more retweets?
This amazing course will teach you, step by step, how to double if not triple your traffic over the next 30 days.
Hi Neil,
That’s great finding.. I never know that there are some most favorable retweet words, I’ll certainly use them in my tweets and of course I also try to tweet some nice quotes.
Thanks, happy to hear you were able to learn something new. Definitely give it a try sometime. Sounds good, I hope it helps!
How can we NOT learn something new here, Neil? This is one of the best tips for retweeting posts that I have seen. Clear, easy to follow and most of all, easy to implement. This truly is a science, judging by your analysis. Good to have the list of words that we need to avoid. And I wasn’t aware of the Buffer button one can use.
So true, That’s what I really about this blog that I always find something new and interesting to learn and implement it in future.
Thanks Aarti,
Happy to know I am able be to show you something new and useful when you come here.
Hey Neil,
You just keep up your great work with this blog, many newbies learn a lot here and I’m not different too.
Thanks Aarti. I really appreciate the words of encouragement.
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. Glad to hear you found these tips useful.
Yes, this was very helpful indeed. I didn’t realized that people get retweets by words they are using. I also use a lot of quotes in my tweets and got a few of them retweeted. This was a very educating post anyway and I learned some new things about being more successful on Twitter. Thank Neil!
Yep. All those little small tricks add up to a lot of retweets.
Interesting finding Neil,
I feel it’s really important to tweet when your followers are ready to retweet and there are few apps which let you know when your most followers stay online and you can schedule your tweets accordingly and it certainly works.
I agree, tweeting at the right time can make the world of difference. Scheduling your tweets is also a good idea. It great way to give you more time to do other things throughout the day.
YES! I’m loving buffer personally. I just love being able to schedule them in a smart way.
Definitely, it makes it much easier and saves valuable time.
Along with Buffer, there’s another service called Timely that automatically analyzes the best time for you to tweet according to when your followers are on twitter the most. Try it out: Timely.is
Thanks for the suggestion. Sounds interesting, i’ll definitely check it out.
This sounds very interesting. By using this you don’t have to look out for yourself when most of your followers are on and win a lot of time to do something else.
Yep, it makes life a lot easier and is probably more accurate to.
I love Dan’s work, guy definitely has most things on Twitter down to a science.
Yea, Dan is a smart guy. He has a ton of great data on Twitter and how to maximize your traffic from it.
Neil great stuff, always offering value.
Its important in building a good network which you network with, once you have that connection with them, for them to retweeet your stuff would be no problem.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it. It is true, when you have a strong network of loyal followers then yes, they will be more inclined to retweet your post.
There is lot to do in 140 chars one more thing i would like to add is tweeting multiple times the same tweet.
did not knew about the time when tweets are retweeted the most.
Happy to have shared something new with you.
Are you trying to say that to tweet the same thing many times is a good thing? Because as fair as I know Twitter might ban you account for things like this.
Tweeting the same thing 2 or 3 times over a few months is fine. You just don’t want to spam.
So if you tweet the same thing about 2 ore 3 time a month is fine with Twitter? I know that they have some rules regarding the retweets you make and the tweets.
It’s fine as long as you arent spamming and over doing it. 2-3 times is reasonable.
Great Post Neil..Got Something New from this post !!!
Thank you Anil,
Cool, that is great. Nice to know I was able to teach you something new.
Thanks Neil,
I am still working my way through Twitter so this is definitely a big help in the process.
Great post.
David
Twitter can be a great asset once you learn to use it. Glad to hear my points have helped. Keep at it!
I think the nature of most vs least retweeted words is interesting. I wonder if the data has changed in the last 1.5 years? Mostly it seems like being positive matters, and things oriented towards Twitter interest followers.
I’m sure the data may have changed slightly. Being positive is always a good idea. People respond better to positive words, it gives them a good feeling. Which in turn makes them want to pass it along to others.
Great stuff Neil…We didn’t pay much attention to Twitter before because we simply didn’t understand it. We get it now and are kind of obsessed
Two things to add would be allowing enough extra space so people can add something and your RT’s don’t get truncated. Also scheduling your tweets to go out at or around the same times each day so people get used to seeing them at a specific time and/or actively look for them at that specific time.
It is definitely valuable once you know how to use is.
Interesting idea, I like the one about sending tweets at the same time every day so that people expect it then. Thanks for adding your input.
Indeed it is…happy I could add some value to the discussion
Happy to have you share, thanks.
Splendid write up Neil… Looking forward to see a post on how to get more Shares/Likes in Facebook…
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the suggestion. I will consider writing something about that in a future post.
FINALLY a twitter post that makes sense and is useful WITHOUT reusing boring content. Thanks so much!
Thanks, glad you think so!
Nice post Neil your entries are always goldmines for opportunists. I have recently taken to Twitter myself and I’m using it to unconventionally leverage myself and build a team for my potential startup. I’m just the average college kid with an idea looking to surround myself with people who can help make it happen. We’ll see if it works. Either way though, this Twitter science is great stuff and will help those who use it to their advantage.
Brodie Schroeder
@BrodieSchroeder
Thank you Brodie,
That is great, I hope you are able to make it happen.
Best of luck.
As expected, a fabulous laser-focused post!
I would like to add using a site like Twitlonger dot com if you absolutely need to use more than 140 characters in your Tweets.
I thought I had a doggone good handle on Twitter Re-Tweets but I’ve learned some great tactics here, Neil — thank you!
Appreciate it,
Thanks for sharing such a useful tool, good to know. There is always something new you can learn. I am glad I was able to show you something useful.
Really useful stuff here, thanks Neil. Especially like the most retweeted words section. Guess it’s true that asking for RT’s really works, will have to try it more often.
Thanks Nick,
Good to know you found these tips helpful. Definitely, give it a try sometime and see how it works out for you.
You missed one point – Just have more followers! Period!
LoL that may be easier said then done.
You give some great suggestions that I will have to think about when using my Twitter account.
I was wondering if you have looked into Triberr.com at all? You join a tribe, and all your tribe mates retweet your posts for you. If you have a good tribe, you’ll get your other tweets retweeted, comments on your blog, and a solid social network as well.
No I haven’t, i’ll be sure to check it out sometime. Sounds interesting, that could be a great way to network and build up followers. Thanks for the share.
Awesome data. I’m surprised LOL isn’t #1 of the words to not be retweeted. The fact that “Please Retweet” was on the list of words most likely to be retweeted goes right to the point of asking for what you want. I often advise clients to directly ask for retweets and likes, and shares. They’ll sometimes resist, but once they try it and see the positive results they take to the advice pretty well…
Yep, most of the time all you have to do is ask for what you want and you will be able to get it.
The game makes me re-tweet the links… and shocking news.
I am confused as to what game you are referring to.
Damn, really is a science with all those venn diagrams and ECGs. Haha, I’m really going to try and start following your suggestions on the best post times for various social media platforms and see if I can get larger spikes than normal.
LoL, it can be. Sounds good, give these tips a try and see how they work out for you.
Awesome info, Neil — the best/worst words are incredibly useful.
I keep coming back to your blog for pointers to research data to learn more about whatever the topic of each post is.
It’s not always what you write, sometimes it’s what you cite.
Thank you, good to know what you found most helpful.
Cool, I appreciate it. Ha ha glad to hear it.
“Let people pay you with a tweet”
I use it by using paysocial.in
Whats your openion Neil ?
I like the concept. I tested it out and it worked well for me.
Hi Neil,
Coincidentally, I found this posting as a ReTweet from @Wandia_info. Thanks for sharing this content; it is clearly effective. By the way, I also ReTweeted this down to a growing 500+ following.
Respectfully,
Chris
@SocialSanchez
That’s great, glad you were able to find it. I hope you were able to gather some helpful tips after reading it.
Wish, what’s with the yellow background ?
It’s really hitting the eyes, especially on the iPad.
Please fix it Neil.
Sorry you feel that way Violet, I have fond yellow to be the best color so far. However, I consider your opinion.
Hey Neil, Thanks for the post. I think at the end of the day, you just need to be simply interesting to get people to follow you, retweet you, and recommend you.
One way to do that is to talk about others more than yourself.
On a separate note, Is the “RSS” sign up banner at the end of your posts a plugin or something you coded yourself?
Thanks
It is something that was custom made. It isn’t a plugin. :/
Hi Neil,
This is a wonderful post as usual, Neil. Thanks so much for sharing these tips. They are so helpful, I’m letting all my readers know about your Blog.
Thanks again and best wishes,
John Alexander
Thank you John,
I appreciate the kind words. As well as for sharing me with you readers, thanks.
Hey Neil,
Awesome guide on getting retweets. I think building relationship with the followers is the best way to get retweets.
I love the guide about the most retweeted words.. !
Thanks for sharing this awesome stuff with us.
Thanks Dev,
Definitely, if you can build a good relationship with your readers then you will find they are much more supportive.
Happy to hear you liked it.
I remember Tim Ferriss doing similar things as far as measuring the optimum date/time to tweet to hit the correct audience-stream. Little insane, but I suppose it’s necessary.
Thanks Neil
Sometimes you have to go to extreme measures to get ultimate results.
Hi Neil,
Here’s my easy guide to getting the most out of Twitter – right here! Thanks
No problem, glad you enjoyed it!
Didn’t know that most tweeters are based in EST zone. Thamks for other findings too.
Yep, good to know you were able to learn something new.
Great info again.
However I think we should focus on getting more followers before we think about people retweet.
I believe that people’s retweets will help produce more followers. If your readers retweet something of your that their readers like then they may start to follow you as well.
Great article with very good info. I keep trying to find legit ways to increase Twitter followers that really have interest in the topic that I am tweeting about.
Thank you, I am glad you found this post helpful. Gathering followers can be difficult. Keep providing useful content and implementing tactics like I have mentioned and you should see improvement.
Hi Niel
Good Article. I understand the logic of viral effect through twitter but still find it difficult to comprehend if people really read each other tweets that often. If you are following lot of followers, then its even more difficult to track the conversation.
I think I am missing some obvious thing.
Anand
Thanks Anand,
I believe people do read tweets that often. We are in an age where people are constantly interacting on social media sites like twitter. All hours of the day, every day people share, read and connect through twitter, way to much to not be reading each others tweets.
Hi Neil,
Once again, thanks for another great post! Always find your post so insightful and well researched, but then again, if you practice what you preach is not that hard right?
I too use buffer, and have really found it to help a lot! Makes life on twitter so much easier!
Anyway, thanks again! Cheers.
Thanks Meyer,
It definitely helps giving advice from personal experience. That way you can honestly let others know what does or does’t work.
Cool, it is a great tool.
Yep, anytime.
I believe on related re tweet of stuffs which give me more real followers.Yes we can consider all above the good point, but re tweet of other stuffs is also important.
You make a good point. Sometimes it is a good idea to re-tweet. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the matter.
Nice research about retweets. Got some idea of words usage.
Thanks, glad you were able to use some of the tips. Cool, I hope they help.
Hi Neil,
One of the great post for all because if we want in this post lot of things to learn for one of the best social media site.
You mentioned each and every thing very well how we can get much advantage with the help of twitter.
Definitely, happy to hear you enjoyed it. Thank you for reaching out and sharing your support.
Hello Neil,
I enjoyed reading your post about getting more re-tweets. I didn’t know that there were certain words that can increase one’s re-tweets — I’ll definitely keep those highly recommended words in mind. I also found your advice on timing tweets interesting. I’ll try that, too. Thank you for these very helpful information. More power
Great, definitely give those ideas a try and see how they work out for you.
Best of luck.
very interesting and detailed analysis… i was wondering why i dont have much retweets, now i know … my twitter: @diamontip
Yep, try these tips and see if you can boots up your volume of retweets.
Neil great tips here and will keep the top retweet words handy.
Thanks
Thank you Sunil, hopefully they will work for you.
Neil,
You mentioned that tweets on Wednesdays get the most visibility. Is this an urban legend or a fact? What is the reason behind it?
That is based on data… so I would have to say fact.
Making money with retweets! I had no idea about that. I think I’ll but that to test
Definitely give it a try sometime, see how it works out for you.
Is the list of most retweeted words maybe retweeted more because more people use them? Is it per-capita? Because per-capita would make more sense as far as the statistics.
I am not sure… but it would be funny to find out why. Usually anything about Twitter gets tweeted a lot.
Interested to know how you went about putting the retweet links in for each quote on that other post?
Do you have it automated – If so… how? and
If not… What’s the process?
Thanks for a great post – Hoping you can take the time to answer
I don’t know how to automate it.
Great, even the results of the survey are also presented here. And about the quote, I think that’s true. I see a lot of accounts that tweet quote get a lot of followers
Thank you for share this ….
No problem, glad you liked it. I have found it is true, that tweeting quotes can produce more followers. If you don’t do it already give it a try and see how it works out for you.
a big wow.. did not know there are these tips on twitter. Well everything could be turned into business. Thanks neil, I could share this to my friends I know.
Great, happy to hear you learned something new. Thanks for sharing, I hope your friends find it useful as well.
Didn’t know that hashtags are so strong in the twitter world. This just added a new dimension to my tweets. Thanks for the great advice.
Yep, they certainly can. Nice to know you were able to take something from here and apply it to benefit your account. Anytime, glad you found the advice useful.
You’re a genius Neil, and your ideas are very useful. Thank you!
Thank you,
I appreciate the kind words.
Hi Neil,
Thanks for sharing this, yes I agreed with everything you said here. The most important thing is building relationship with other twitter users, retweet some of their tweet and if they happens to retweet yours, you should THANK them in return and by doing this, you will be building trust and relationship with them.
Avoid spamming your followers with your own promotional tweets because not everyone likes that!
Another way to get people retweet your tweet if you don’t have enough followers is by adding your tweets here http://www.JustRetweet.com which other users will get your tweet retweeted. So Neil, I think you should include JustRetweet on your next list
Thanks
Thanks for sharing the link. I will have to check it out.
Thanks for the very interesting info. I learned a lot from this post about twitter behavior, now i need to think about how to use it.
Glad you liked it. Hopefully it helps you get more retweets.
Thank you Neil. I was using the least retweeted words on my tweets. thank buddy. you work for me as my teacher.
No problem. Best of luck getting more retweets.
very difficult to get the power users talking to small users..
It’s possible, you just have to play the numbers game.
I’d like to start increasing my twitter followers, there is a great way to add a retweet button below your post. Have you tried out twitter anywhere+?
I haven’t tried it out… I’ll put it on my to-do list.
Do follower count really increase with tweeting quotes? Thats news for me and an idea too Thanks for the tip.
It has worked well for me. You should try it out.
It seems to me that call to actions are included a lot in the “good” words to use. I also think that quotes make excellent tweet, however it really isn’t much use if I only have 5 followers, eh? Those statistics are pretty cool though.
Yea, you have to have a good amount of followers for this stuff to work. Ideally in the hundreds if not thousands.
I thought sharing what I was watching was pretty cool on twitter, and now I’ll have to change my strategy
Change it up and bit and see what happens. If you don’t like it you can always go back to your old strategy.
Tip no.1 ,6, 8 are the best!
If you use them all together you will probably even do better.
very nice collection nail.twitter is my targeted website for drive traffic.your article is help me a lot.keep sharing
Will do. Thanks for the kind words.
Hi Niel,
Thank you for the great information. I have been doing some of what you suggested on Twitter, but will most definitely implement some of the other ideas you provided here to increase my network of followers through retweets!
Sounds Good Jeanette,
These suggestions should certainly help do that. Let me know if you have any questions as you go.
RTed you three times yesterday before even reading this post.. Must be working lol
Great, thanks for the retweets. I appreciate the support not only on Twitter but Quick Sprout as well!
I’ve been struggling using twitter in business, and even on a personal level. This post has given me some motivation though. Since I mainly work in Gambling, most forms of promotions seem to come off “spammy” it seems. So I’m always trying to balance that out.
Great stuff though Neil, and thanks for the info. I’m always amazed at the stats you share. Thanks!
I hope you are able to find a way to balance it out. It can be difficult if people see your tweets as spam. Try out some of the ideas from this post. Hopefully they will help to increase your success in retweets.
Best of luck.
As far as i tried to get more followers was only to tweet some interesting things and gain niche and large amount of followers. But i never thought if words also can help me out to become popular over twittter. Thanks Neil ! You are superb.
Your welcome Jugmendra,
Happy to hear you were able to take something new and useful from this post. I hope you try applying these tips to your Twitter experience.
The most important tips are to create many good lasting relationships and then also the tip about hashtags. Hashtags are very popular and they can make you rich if you latch on to the right one!
Definitely, building relationships is the fastest way to become more successful. Also like you mentioned hashtags are very useful as well.
I just love the way you analyze different basic activity and and web design as described in previous post as Analytic is being one of my favorite subject for research. The thing I like in above blog is the time you have mentioned to get more exposure. There are tools which schedules your tweets automatically with time specified by you.
Cool, thanks for letting me know what you liked best about this post. Definitely check out those tools and try using them sometime. If no longer having to manually post your tweets you will save yourself a lot of time.
After reading this article, I started my own Twitter Game Plan to implement these tips into my own strategy for relationship building. Priceless! Thanks!
That is great! Sounds good, I hope it works out for you. Let me know if you have any questions along the way.
Neil,
Plenty of info to take onboard here, so thanks for that!
Didn’t know that you could find out about the most re-tweeted words, now makes sense.
Thanks again,
Glenn
Thank you Glenn,
Yep, knowing what words work best is a great way to increase retweets. Glad you were able to learn something new from here.
Hey Neil,
I loved your idea about building relations. Actually I had read your post a couple of weeks back and decided to try it out. I followed someone on twitter who had tons of followers and after about a week I asked him if he would retweet my tweet and today he was kind enough to do that. I am so excited about it so I decided to share it with you. Great idea man!
Cool, thanks for sharing your experience. Happy to hear it worked for you!
Nice post Neil,
It was really insightful.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Chirag,
Happy to have helped.
As usual, great post!
The tips are very useful. I just can’t believe that there are people who pay you for a retweet. Is it one of those “techniques” to gain more traffic on a company’s site?
Just a clarification, don’t most people think that tweets with links are spams? Hmmmm.
They don’t. It is common to include links in tweets.
Nice ideas to get more tweets. Thank You.
Thank you Ameen, glad to hear you liked them.
Just after reading this post, i come to know how to get more retweets.
Glad you liked the post. Hope it helps.
Great tips Neil,
I personally use bufferapp and timely.is for schedule my tweets and that’s working awesome. These apps schedule my tweets perfectly..
Yea, the buffer app is pretty cool. They have a good team.
Hi Neal,
You recomend putting retweet links through the content. How do you do that? I saw the article about the business advice and each link tweet just a little bit of text, not the link to the whole article like the tweet button.
You have to manually put retweet buttons in your html. I don’t know any other way of doing it.
Hey Neil.
Loving the design changes around here lately. The new landing page for your traffic product is so sexy it makes my knees weak.
I may have missed it but how do you add tweet links to individual phrases within a post?
Love that idea.
Tyrant
You have to manually code in those links into your html.
Thank you, Neil! I learned a lot from this post.
Great, glad to hear it.
do you know any free service which provide free retweets?
I don’t.
Thanks for respoding, looks like I found RT exchange service
Loved all the advises but time matters for your tweets agreed.. Thanks Neil will definitely share this post
Thanks,
Definitely feel free to share it with whoever. Glad you liked it.
Just stumbled on your blog during my travels across the Internet. This is great stuff. I have a bunch of Twitter followers but not many retweets. Am going to put his in practice.
Well, these tips should help. Let me know how they work for you when you try them out.
Thanks for the Info – hopefully now I can get a lot more people to re-tweet my posts. Thanks
I hope so too.
Best of luck!
In my opinion, Scheduling tweets in perfect time does matter,i use bufferapp for schedule my tweets…
did not know about the most retweeted words,this will help me a lot!
Thanks neil
Indeed, the most retweeted words seems to help a lot in having your tweet retweeted. It is really funny how this little things can hel you a lot.
Definitely, all those little things separately may not seem vital, but when all added up together can have a major impact.
Do what works best for you but it couldn’t hurt to give timing your tweets a try it may help.
Cool, always enjoy being able to share something new. I am glad the list of words helped.
hahahaha i forget that i already read this post 6 days ago….but i forgot. but after reading the comments i read mine and i did not even remeber lol
Sorry Neil
Don’t look me as spammer, i was digging your blog from few days..lots of useful resource. I don’t usually comment on blogs but i feel very comfortable here when i submit comments.
Always good to have a reader come back.
I appreciate the comments.
Neil, This is by far the best blog about SEO and marketing that I’ve come across. I started in the web business about one year ago and I barely knew how the most basic concepts worked. Now I feel like I can keep up with about half of the specifics. There is so much more to learn and I just wanted to let you know that your efforts have been very valuable to me!
Thank you Mike, I appreciate your support. I am glad to hear my post have been helpful to you.
Best of luck!
Great tips, I have had a hard time with my twittering, maybe these tips will help me out. Twitter just hasn’t been easy for me.
Twitter can be tricky to utilize properly, these tips should help. Let me know how they work out for you.
I read your post really very enjoyable content. Good to know about more retweets. Every post are very informative really…
Thanks
Not surprised that ‘please’ was in there, I don’t have the stats on hand, but I think I read it on copyblogger (?) that the most RT’ed things actually contain the word ‘please’.
The proof is in the pudding that politeness goes a long way.
Those retweeted words could help someone get more retweets by themselves. You could piece together some sentences from those words themselves!
So interesting to know that you can program your retweet button to do it on a certain time!!! Never have heard about it before. I will surely use that trick!! It will make a huge difference!!
Some great tips for getting more retweets, thank you! I love the fact that tweets with more syllables are more likely to be retweeted
I never would have thought that!
Great post and great ideas Neil. Thanks for sharing!

What a great article, only just seen it and it explains to us why some of our tweets get retweeted and not. We will certainly follow some of your guidelines Niel and look for more retweets and also ensure we include links to as this sounds link the reason many of what we think are useful tweets get forgotton.
I will now look at some of your other articles for more info
Hi!,,,,,,,,!!!The tips are very useful. I just can’t believe that there are people who pay you for a retweet. Is it one of those “techniques†to gain more traffic on a company’s site?
Thank you so much!~,,,,
Great article. It’s important to look at retweets as an indicator of good content and try to create quality rather than push average content at people repeatedly. BTW you should change your site so that the comment box is at the top rather than all the way down at the bottom…I’m scroll lazy…
Caroline, great point. It’s hard sometimes, but it is very essential.
