Online advertising has become an exciting activity, with more and more people joining in to get a piece of the action. Twitter.com is one of the places where you can find funny online advertising. Twitter allows its users to make posts that they can share with their group of followers. If your followers love your posts, they can repost them, something known as retweeting.

Retweeting is a good way to spread content quickly so that it reaches more users on Twitter, including those who are not your followers. Retweeting has its advantages and disadvantages, so we will see them starting with the advantages.

As I said earlier, retweeting is a way to make information posted on Twitter spread like veldt fire. The advantage of doing this is that if your publication is business, you will get more people to see your ad. Retweets serve as backlinks that direct people to your site, so your traffic will definitely increase. Another advantage is that through a retweet, you can post some interesting things on your blog even at times when you don’t have anything new to offer yourself. The great thing about doing this is that your blog will always be full of life and activity.

When you retweet people’s content, they find out. Over time, they will also recognize your line of business and before long they will be retweeting your posts as well. In this way, your business will gain more recognition online.

On the other hand, retweeting, if used inappropriately, can be detrimental to your business. This is true for some people who have also found that social networks such as Twitter and Facebook are a good medium for transferring malice such as Trojan viruses, spyware, and spam. So if you choose to simply retweet anything you find, you may end up falling victim to social media malice. The moment people associate your retweets with spam, they will put the red light on your posts and will definitely steer clear of your future posts as you are no longer a trusted source.

Now think of it this way, if it is possible to get viruses and spyware through retweets, that means people will be afraid to transact online with you if you are ever associated with such acts. Remember that spyware and Trojans can steal your private data, such as credit card PIN codes. That means that if people get infected with these types of computer viruses, they cannot safely transact money online. Now people have antivirus software that detects the sources of computer malice, and if your retweets often contain viruses, people will never do business with you.
