Twitter Tracking for Affiliates
Thanks for visiting the Affiliate Tip blog. Subscribe to my RSS feed or enter your e-mail on the top left to get updates by e-mail.
I was catching up on some Tweets (Twitter posts) from Robert Scoble and saw an interesting one about a functionality to track keywords used in Tweets by others.
It turns out this feature for Tracking Twitter has been around for months, but I hadn’t checked out the Twitter blog, so I was in the dark.
Anyhow, it works over IM and text messaging and sends notifications when a Tweet is posted for keywords you set up.
Similar to my use of Google Alerts, I am using it to monitor mentions of various names, companies, and industry specific keywords.
So it’s something affiliate marketers can use to keep up on news about merchants and networks, general industry happenings, etc.
Plus, it’s a networking tool that enables you to find folks you didn’t previously know who are talking about topics that matter to you.

This is definitely one of the “must use” features for Twitter. I track things like my name or company names I’m interested in and receive txt messages when they pop up in the Twitter stream.
Incredibly helpful if you’re doing any kind of brand or response research using Twitter (which you should be doing!).
reply to this commentI must confess that I haven’t really focussed much time on Twitter. It always sounded like a networking site to me
Your post on tracking twitter highlights the possibility of market research using this tool
Thanks for the heads up
