Twitter has millions of active users and is continually updated when people follow your posts. You can incorporate your WordPress blogs with your Twitter account so that you can benefit from the users on Twitter. You can increase your search engine optimization by contributing to both additional traffic to your site as well as incoming links to your posts. You can also add to your interactive community of WordPress users by cross promoting your site on Twitter.
