Twitter Top 25
This post will include the Top 25 Twitter posters in the world based on the number of followers. The statistics I am providing also will give you the number of people each of these is following as well as the number of updates each entity has had.
I find an interesting trend in this list, one that somewhat bothers me. I find that Twitter is a communication tool that is best utilized when a conversation or dialogue is conducted. Conversation or dialogue includes more than one-way communication. Many on this top 25 list are only sending out tweets and most of them are not following or engaging others. I beleive they are losing out by not being more involved in what their followers have to say.
I will continue to monitor this list and will also supplement the data with more localized data.

So from your best opinion, what could I do to ensure that http://www.naperdesign.com gets more traffic? I am a start-up and have usually had someone else to handle the seo. Any suggestions?

It depends-are you looking for more traffic to your website or to Twitter?

Looking to do both. Do the inbound links count from Tweets?
Have several at this point, but for some reason my pagerank won’t go up. It blows my mind since my customers page ranks are elevating. Have never had an issue with my own getting pumped. Wondering if I offended the Google Gods.
