There are many people who have read this blog , got inspired and have started blogging and but lately i have found something new. These Bloggers who had seriously started some blogs are now running dead blogs or slow blogs which means that they have got themselves into something else which is Tweeting. I do understand that ‘Twitter<\/a> is not completely useless’ but it is Useless if you are Tweeting during your work time and ignoring your main job.<\/p>\n

\"Twitter<\/a>
Twitter Sucks<\/figcaption><\/figure>Time Calculations :<\/strong>
\nWriting 1 400 Words Article – 1 Hour
\nWriting 1 1000 Words Article – 2 Hours<\/p>\n

Tweeting and @Replying Friends – Seconds to Hours<\/p>\n

Writing Blog Posts can depend on the time and research along with the experience on the niche, but Tweeting has no time limits because you need to first waste some time on reading all the @Replies you have received, then reading your timeline for all the updates from your past login to your Twitter Account, which means more time spent, which is followed by Replying to others Tweets and then finally stopping at Reading & Writing to Direct Messages.<\/p>\n

While you writing on your blog, it can lead to traffic and finally help you in making money but Tweeting is just a complete waste of time because at the end you can gain few friends and rarely any money and even if you try to promote few affiliate links or premium paid sponsored tweets<\/a> you will be making few pennies to low dollars and not something like in blogging which is steady income.<\/p>\n

Twitter Search Vs Search Engines<\/strong>
\nIts claimed that the Twitter Search is far more better than other Web Search Engines because the results are real time, but well this is a wrong claim because Twitter Search is kind of personal and is not always useful. Example – If there was a ‘Earthquake in Kolkata’ last week, while you search on both of these you will find the following.
\nTwitter Search Link<\/a> Vs Google Search Link<\/a>
\nTwitter Search shows me just 2 Tweets, while the Google Web Search shows us with thousands of results and along with this you can scan through the Google News Results and Blog Search Results for additional results. Do you still feel Twitter is offering any real good stuff on the Search Sections. Yes it may be quite good at times but that’s just 1% of the total searched content and this is really a very small number worth counting in.<\/p>\n

Tweeting does not help you always but can be a addiction because you start gaining friends and followers who would reply to you regularly and you also do the same but this is only a absolute waste of time and does not help you in doing something useful. Many bloggers have turned to Tweeting because the Tweet Guru’s who have got huge following base have recommended this medium to promote blogs but this is not a long term stuff since tweeting requires you to continuously stay Active & Connected with others and this is when you can expect some visitors to the links you would tweet, and this is also not going to cross 10% of your total referred traffic websites list. While you would blog and blog and stay on the topic you can expect better results since the traffic would be from search engines and this is long term stuff since the blog posts are listed on the SERPS[Search Engine Result Pages] and you can easily monetize this traffic.<\/p>\n

Finally i would stop bashing more about twitter here because there can be 100+ results why Twitter Sucks and is not really a useful website which you should focus more on rather than leaving your main job of blogging which can give you lot of fruits rather than some flying birds. You can always Tweet but this should be a limited affair and should not be done full time, and these points can be understood when you compare your previous dedication towards your blogs and your current dedication. Oh by the way if you still dont plan to leave Twitter and continiously stay active on it full time then Follow me<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
