Twitter no longer a viable way to get views for your articles?

With every article you get published (at EZA's) you can automatically notify your twitter followers. I noticed that when my articles are approved I only have 1 view. I have over 7000 followers. Has EZA's changed things so that if a lot of viewers come from 1 IP address it only gives credit for 1 Viewer?

    Interesting question. I have noticed something similar through Google Analytics. It is almost like they don't happen. But, the traffic counter on my site says otherwise. Pageviews goes up, but it is almost like only one IP address is recorded as though it were only one UV.

    I highly doubt such tech even exists, let alone is being implemented by EZA (could be, but that sounds impossible to even do).

    Maybe your 7000 followers just don't like you? Or your tweets are getting lost in the daily tweetzonosphere avalanche?

    Just learning twitter myself, so feel free to school me on this.

    Your logic won't work. If 7000 people are sitting at their computers, and they all click the same twitter link, at exactly the same time, you have 7000 IP addresses coming at you. (Unless they are all sitting behind the same router, in the same building.)

      Try this next time:

      - Link to your EZA article in a Twitter post using bit.ly (url shortener).
      ...and let's say bit.ly shortens your EZA link to: http:// bit.ly/12345 ...

      - after a few days, visit that generated url after adding a "+" sign to the end of it.
      (ie. http:// bit.ly/12345+ )

      - that will show you a variety of stats, including how many times that bit.ly link was clicked on.

      - see if that number jibes with what EZA states

      - ?????

      - profit.



      Hope that helps.

      If 7000 people clicked my link to an EZA article they are coming from Twitters server to EZA from Twitter's 1 IP address. That is where my logic is, unless it doesn't work that way.
