Just recently Twitter launched its new “Follow Me” button, akin to Facebook’s “Like” button, it can appear on your website and/or blog and with one click (and without leaving your site) visitors can follow you on Twitter.

Apparently these buttons are worth a try. A recent poll by Mirna Bard for SmartBrief on Social Media reported that almost 40 percent of respondents believe they have seen an increase in traffic to their website or blog thanks to including a social media plug-in such as the Facebook “Like” button. According to Facebook, whose “Like” button has been around for awhile, brands using the “Like” button have also seen an increase in revenue thanks to the plug-in.

So, if you have not already included these plug-ins on your website, now’s a great time to get on board. You can read more about the “Follow Me” button and get detailed instructions on how to install it on your site at Twitter’s Help Center website.
