DISQUS

James Eliason · 1 year ago

Point well taken, however there are a lot of site stats that we..meaning the general public, dont have access to. Your point is dead on though, just how many people view the profile pages? Well today Twittad has had 25 new followers...and I went to every single one of their profile pages and checked out everyones blog links. Am I along on this? Maybe.

However, lets think of Twitter on a much larger scale. Imagine more spruced up profile pages, allowing users to actually link more than 2-3 web addresses, pictures and other applications. If Twitter produces that model, site views and the amount of time users spend on the Twitter website will go up. And so will advertising prices.

We are working on increasing the scope of Twittad.com everyday, stay tuned because we have some pretty cool stuff going on.

Thanks for commenting, James. I'm definitely interested to see what else you guys come up with.

Anthony, perfect explanation of how people rarely visit profiles on Twitter. I also visit everyone once I get a follower notification - but that's about it. Besides, in addition to hardly getting any views, the ads also lack any clicking functionality - thus I don't see any value for an advertiser at all.
But anyway it'll be interesting to see if our skepticism is valid when my one-month experiment with TwittAd is completed :) (Still waiting for my confirmation email, BTW.)

Svetlana,

We are working on finding your email account in the database, I just sent you a message on Twitter if you could follow up on that we can get the confirmation email sent.

Also, when someone clicks on a user to send a Direct Message through Twitter, they see the ad background of the person they are sending the message to. So the ad background is being shown on more than just the front profile page.
