The life of a tweet
I sent a note out over Twitter earlier today trying to gather some additional responses to a Web Tools Survey I am working on: Doing a survey of news Web sites – what open-source and free tools and services do you use: http://bit.ly/oju #journ
Typical enough – but what was interesting was watching the traffic (via bit.ly):
I have noted on the chart the timing of each re-tweet (red) and, perhaps more importantly, the actual conversions of clicks to survey responses (green). In the first hour the survey received five re-tweets, 110 referrals from Twitter, and four people actually completed the survey.
You can check out the raw data here http://bit.ly/info/oju

Sounds like you need to work on your conversion rate. Not even all the ppl that retweeted filled out the survey.

Most of the retweeters had completed it previously. They were just being helpful to give it a RT.thanks
