MG Digital Marketing Enterprises has just released ReturnTweet.com to the public as its newest Twitter application site which aims to have Twitter users give extra life to their tweets. The concept simply gives users a site and script to promote their latest tweets and have others retweet (if they want to) the site owner’s tweets or draft their own custom tweet through an easy-to-use online form.
While many marketers are using Twitter for traffic and sales, it’s obvious that too many sales pitches and sales links on the timeline can clutter the system and make certain message lose their “punch.” There are hundreds of products and services that Twitter users can benefit from but too much advertising can give users “ad blindness” and they start to only pay attention to selective people in their ever growing list of followers.
ReturnTweet.com simply provides a PHP script you install on a main domain. The script captures your last Tweet with its associated link(s), whether it is your blog, a main site, a review site or news that you want to share. You then generate traffic to that link. Visitors come to your site and securely log in via Twitter. They resend your displayed tweet to their list of followers thus increasing you exposure and in turn, they receive whatever it is that you’re promoting, usually a PDF report/eBook, a script, a free membership, a redirect to one of your many sites or, they can even download a free version of ReturnTweet that the y can use on their own site.
The program is designed to prevent spam since all tweets are personally generated by the site owner or drafted by site visitors. Script owners can then increase their list of subscribers, provide free information, redirect visitors to interesting sites and provide a platform for additional exposure. The script also makes use of your profile’s bigger photo which could be plus for Real Estate agents for example. Instead of sending potential clients to their Twitter page, Realtors could send them to their ReturnTweet script where they can download a free buyer/seller report, for example. Other industry professionals could benefit from the same idea. For example, bands and singers could offer a FREE MP3 sample, for example. There is no need to “hope” someone will RT your tweet when you use this script.
Why not just retweet and use Twitter? That’s what everybody is doing but the script has been designed for marketers who want an extra edge on their marketing and want to provide more information to users which they can easily do by having a site with several top and side menu options, something they can’t provide on Twitter itself. Only one link instead of several.
Additionally, the script visits and caches your timeline to avoid both Twitter and server overload and displays profile photos of your last 12 most active followers. When a new follower is added to your account, his or her photo and link gets rotated on the scrolling photo feature.
Other exciting and time-saving features added to the script include a robust URL shortener via Bit.ly, the same reliable shortener used by Twitter, a contact form, secure login and log out feature, redirects to your other profiles, or sites of interest, customizable top and side menu options, built-in ClickBank revenue generator and captcha.
Finally, another important program feature: unlike other sites, users of ReturnTweet don’t get ads posted to their accounts. The Pro Version of Return Tweet use OAuth API keys to give users secure access via Twitter. This gives peace of mind to those who are hesitant to enter their username and password on Twitter sites, although a large majority of sites and desktop application safely require the information to communicate with Twitter. The script is robust, requires PHP 5.0, CURL, API keys, GD libraries and works with most modern and updated Unix servers. Set up for the current version involves editing a few lines in a configuration file and uploading the files to the server.
Ethical online marketing professionals who have something of value to offer, blogs and sites to promote could benefit from adding ReturnTweet as part of their Twitter toolbox, especially if their blog posts are set up to automatically post to Twitter.
