Apparently Google really loved my link to 8pmWarrior.com I had on my twitter profile.
This is what happened when I changed it from 8pmWarrior.com to help support our video portfolio at AttentionEra.com. I thought you might find this interesting:
Despite the link remaining on the dedicated 8pm Warrior Twitter account, traffic from search engines has almost completely dropped off from almost 1000 views a week (even though I wasn’t posting much) to basically nothing.
A couple lessons here:
- Twitter matters if you want web traffic.
- Community size matters too. Apparently 2200 followers on @8pmWarrior isn’t enough.
- Maybe there’s something about having two twitter accounts use one link as the Twitter bio link.
- I probably need to post more and let sharing be the traffic driver, not SEO.
Let me know if you have any other ideas. I’ve never seen anything like this before.
Have a great night,
Aaron @Biebert

This makes sense! My traffic took a nose dive after I changed my Twitter header. I just added my blog link back into my twitter account. Let’s see what happens.
Yes, please keep me updated. I’m very curious.
Seems a bit extreme…
Just following up on our previous discussion. No affect so far on my google traffic.
Interesting.. is this a link within the bio or listed as the website?
Listed as the website at the bottom of the bio.
Not sure I totally understand but are you saying that the overall traffic to your blog has plummeted since removing the link from your twitter bio or just the traffic that was previously coming from twitter to your blog?
Overall traffic dropped off big time after I removed the link. Almost all of it was from Google, making me think it has to do with the link…
