I met them at their office in Waterloo, Ontario, working out of the back of a house owned by another startup co-founder, Michael Litt (@michaelrlitt) of VidYard, where they offered me BBQ veggie burgers and some great insight into where Twitter analytics is headed.

All three members of the TwitSprout team are engineering graduates from the University of Waterloo. They are meticulous about their data, just like you’d expect from a group of engineers: Dan was forceful in explaining just how upset they got if they missed even an hour of data for their users’ dashboards.

Calculating and Improving Your Twitter Click-through-Rate. The author's views are entirely his or her own (excluding the unlikely event of hypnosis) and may not always reflect the views of Moz. As marketers, many of us leverage Twitter as a direct traffic tool - sharing URLs via the service to encourage clicks and visits to help increase awareness, branding and possibly drive some direct actions (singups, sales, subscriptions, etc). But, from what I've seen and experienced, not many of us spend time thinking about how or taking action to improve the CTR we get from the links we tweet. Given that I have 21K+ followers, but most of the links I tweet generate 150-250 clicks, my CTR is only averaging 1.34% As analytics junkies, we're well aware that we can only improve things that we measure, analyze and test.

So let's look at a process for measuring our tweets, analyzing the data and testing our hypotheses about bettering our click-through-rates. If we do it right, we could increase the value Twitter brings us as a marketing and traffic channel. Twitter : Les 100 Comptes Francophones à suivre.
