How to Link Twitter to a Website
Since Twitter got rolling, it has been a popular way to keep friends updated on your day, follow others' daily activities, and even market a company, brand or individual. Many people use Twitter to share products or stories they find online; they simply link to content or products on other sites. You can also place a link to your website in your profile. This is a good marketing link to have; marketing firm HubSpot uses its Website Grader to see if you have one. The tool rates your site's marketability, based on various factors---including whether your Twitter account links to a personal site.
