The Twitter ad drove tremendous signups for us which will definitely slow going forward, but our page views and traffic and time on site will again keep going up as aoption is very high.

The subscribers and intital page views that twitter drove are much like Digg traffic. zip in, zip out. Thats of no interest to us but Twitter has def got something there with the ad box. the scarcity of ads probably made so many MORE people click on them

It will be interesting to see how some of the sites performs once they are no longer the text ad(s) of the month. For example, traffic for exectweets and marchtweetness tanked after their initial twitter ad (<a href="http://siteanalytics.compete.com/exectweets.com/" rel="nofollow">http://siteanalytics.compete.com/exectweets.com/</a>) Not only do these Twitter ads drive traffic, they also pass on a lot of Page Rank juice of the millions of Twitter user pages.

What separates Twitter today is that there's an ecosystem growing around them - clients like Seesmic and TweetDeck and apps like StockTwits. The more traffic they send to the members of their ecosystem, the more entrenched Twitter becomes in the user workflow. So, pushing the traffic out to partners helps Twitter increase usage while also raising the barrier to entry for others. Smart move.<br>And, as you point out Eric, this lays the groundwork to make it easy to charge down the road if they want to. I think Twitter's very smart to provide free ad links to partners.
