In September, we’re offering a Twitter tip a day. Send us your thoughts and suggestions.

Day 1: Introduce yourself in your profile (up to 160 chars).
Include a link to your site, your city and state.

No one wants to follow a ghost. Use your Twitter profile to show off who you are.

How long can it take you really to write a couple of sentences about your job, your hobbies or your personality? And be sure to link to a site, even if it’s your Facebook or LinkedIn page.

Plus, including your city and state makes your profile and your tweets visible in geographically targeted searches. So other Twitterers looking for good people to follow (and good tweets to read) can find you faster.
