Button Up Your Web Site

Twitter's Goodies section has a page that allows you to download a button to install on your web site that makes it very easy for anyone to follow you. There are a whole array of button sizes, from a tiny t in a box that looks to be about 20 pixels wide, to something more substantial that has a picture of the little blue Twitter bird.
I have noticing these things popping up all over the place and have even clicked on it a couple of times. We've talked before about streaming your Twitter updates to your web site (which is very easy using one of the Twitter gadgets), so it just makes sense to also give your visitors a very easy way to follow you.
The page is located here:

Clicking one of the buttons will open up a small textbox that contains the code that you use to place the button on your site. You don't have to worry about downloading a graphic because it is hosted on Twitter's servers. So all you have to do is copy the code it gives you and place it on your web pages wherever you want it to appear. I suggest placing on all the major pages of your site. If your site uses a template or include files this is simple because you will only have to paste it into a single file.
This is a subtle little piece of Twitter marketing that will not get you in trouble and will help build your follower list in an organic manner.
