[...] Be careful, however, at over exposure on Twitter. The 140 character limit can make it easy to get carried away and over tweet. Never forget that content, above all, is the most important aspect of social media campaigning. A recent experiment noted that adding tweeting more often, with the same type of content, had little impact on traffic. [...]

Quantity doesn't matter to a certain extent, but consistency does.

I've noticed that a lot of people who tweet a lot, are usually sending out tweets in response to someone else. There may be a lot of mentions, but it's more of a conversation than a straight up retweet. My guess is if you could get people into regular conversations, you would see those numbers up. Not sure if that would have "business value" but it might drive the numbers.

I am actually surprised it didn't work! maybe it depends on industry niche or some such. Cause I have tried it with couple of my company accounts and it seemed to work. But with social media I feel we should always be ready for surprises for what works and what doesn't.

Nice experiment!

Although I agree with the quality part, it is also important to create momentum. There are so many articles out there that in order to stick out you do need to get the ball running.

Especially when you are just beginning. When you are receiving more visitors, people will get the ball rolling for you. (if they like your content)

P.S.

I use Tweetdeck and if someone tweets too much it get's annoying and I'll unfollow them.

Haha. Good point there, Meks. I should've mentioned the types of people that I emulated. These are not celebrities. They're business people. No, I am not talking the Kawasakis and Godins.

A lot of people are interested in anything FAMOUS people have to say. John Mayer could say "I just farted" and get 834 mentions.

Since you aren't famous, you need to something interesting if you want anyone to care. Alternatively, you could just post incredibly inane things, like this blog article, and people may mention you just to make fun.
