Targeting Your Target Audience with Twitter Data
Richard Baxter Founder, SEOgadget.com
The not-very-inbound way to market your site.
That does not work.
Let's do some marketing…
I want to find out where my target market is
I want to find out what they are sharing
I want to know who to contact
I want my stuff to be a success
Who are you
targeting?
What are your target audiences sharing?
Identify + recruit
influencers
Be there
Really targeted outreach

Did you notice we didn’t use Google?
Here's how to do it.
http://seogadget.com/tools/seogadget-for-excel/
Fetch your data.
GO TO: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new
Find your audience
#MozCon
How do I find out what these people are sharing?
filter:links from:someone
OR from:someone else OR from:some other person
So, you just need to build a search query in twitter.
