Does anyone have a great way to determine where your new Twitter followers are finding you?

We are enjoying some good success with finding new Twitter followers for our account, but the majority of the new followers do not seem to be coming as a result of our posts. How can I determine where these new followers are finding us? Google Analytics can explain those coming from our website but what about the others?

Thanks to all for helping!

You can see your analytic data using twitter analytic or you can use Twitonomy this is also very good and it shows a very much depth reports like who Followers Report, don't follow you back, Search Analytic and much more. check it out...

Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to track down how people are finding your Twitter (except from your own site). Other more obvious places are anyone recommending you as someone to follow on Twitter or mentioning/RT'ing you (show up in your @ mentions) and running an OSE report to see if you're getting backlinks to your Twitter profile from other places, such as if you were on a list of companies in your niche to follow.

You can also use Followerwonk to see your follows/unfollows. This can help you narrow day the days you get major follows and then dig into what happened those days. Did you speak at a conference? Was there a blog post published about you? Did you get a big press mention? Or did you just have a tweet that hit some influential people?

Also, an important note, occasionally, you'll see sudden dips and lots of unfollows, sometimes that's just Twitter cleaning up spammers. (I was putting together a presentation where I thought Rand Fishkin had lost lots of followers due to a tweet he made, but it turned out to be Twitter cleaning up spam accounts. And then I needed another example.)

Hope that helps!
