The Twittley team contacted me and mentioned that you should claim your domain with Twittley if you use the plug-in for wordpress and the benefits it provide are:
Once you’re the verified owner of that domain, any link posted to that domain on Twittley will contain a Follow this Webmaster link that a user can click to automatically follow you on Twitter.
To claim your domain you need to do the following:
- Submit your post via Twittley, then after you click submit, click on the “Claim Domain” link
- Then you asked to create a file on your web server at the root level, and input the URL and Twitter account that claims the domain.
- So you log into your server, create the file and update the application:
- And then your domain is claimed.
Some other tips to follow from the Twittley team are:
- Always submit your post to twittley the 1st time, since the first submitter sets the tags, description and category and nobody knows the content like the author, this also means that people who click the “tweet” button won’t be redirected off of your page to fill out this information.
- Make the button stand out in a prominent portion of your web page, the top is good, but bottom can work too for long articles where you want the reader to see the button when they are done reading.
- To make the button stand out more, minimize the amount of large buttons you use on a post, I see some blogs with Tweetmeme and Twittley buttons which do the same thing, and I think it really gums up a blog post to have multiple buttons that do the same thing on the same post.
