    Best Practices for Short Tweets

    Courtesy of Pardot, here are nine tips on how to squeeze more words (or more meaning) into your 140-character tweets.

    1. Use Thsrs (http://www.ironicsans.com/thsrs) to find shorter synonyms for long words you want to use. — Click to Retweet #1

    2. Don’t use the word “and.” Just substitute symbols like & or + to save 2 characters. — Click to Retweet #2

    3. Get rid of unnecessary pronouns and articles, like the words “that” and “the.” — Click to Retweet #3

    4. Find the best link shortener out there. Bit.ly is a good choice. — Click to Retweet #4

    5. Substitute numbers for words. — Click to Retweet #5

    6. Use contractions whenever possible. — Click to Retweet #6

    7. Drop vowels from words as long as the word still makes sense. — Click to Retweet #7

    8. Use common abbreviations. While they’re not always pretty, substituting “w/” for “with” can save you 2 characters. “Retweet” can easily become “RT,” and “by the way” is often shortened to just “btw.” — Click to Retweet #8

    9. Use expanded images. A picture is worth 10,000 words. Tweets with expanded images receive 18% more clicks, 89% more favorites, and 150% more retweets than those without. — Click to Retweet #9

    How to Get More Retweets

    TrackMaven just released a report that analyzed 1,423 Twitter accounts featuring more than a million tweets. The report reveals many of the elements that make up a successful tweet, one that is retweeted more often.

    Here are the major results they discovered during their survey:

    More tweets are sent out on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday than other days of the week. Tweets during the weekend are half those during the week.

    Tweets on Sunday get an average of 0.168 retweets, more retweets than any other day of the week.

    More tweets are sent out during the middle of the day than any other time of the day, peaking at noon Eastern time.

    Retweets peak in the late evening hours with the highest percentage of retweets occurring between 10 and 11 p.m. Eastern time (0.194 retweets on average per 1,000 followers).

    More hashtags result in more retweets. 5 hashtags and 11+ hashtags get the most retweets.

    If you use @ mentions in your tweets, you’ll get the maximum number of retweets with 4 or 6 mentions (with a dramatic dropoff with more mentions).

    You’ll get more retweets if you place a link near the end of your tweet.

    Tweets with images get 3 times as many retweets as tweets without an image.

    If you want retweets, ask for the retweet (not an RT).

    The more exclamation marks, the more retweets, with 9 exclamation marks getting the most retweets.

    ALL CAPs tweets get 4 times as many retweets as no caps tweets. Many social media experts recommend that you don’t shout (use ALL CAPS), but this result obviously suggests that ALL CAPS actually produce better results (at least in regards to the number of retweets).
