Hello people, I have been really busy lately since my university started from 16th and along with a full time job and a social network (in real life) it gets pretty tougher to manage and still be able to take out time for blogging and socializing on web. But i am glad that i am back blogging again :-).

This post is to help all those who still don't know how to put RT link in their tweets to be able to make viral tweets, and spread their blog links on twitter and finally get more traffic to your blog through twitter.

OK its pretty simple

This is how you are gonna start, type http://twitter.com/home?status=

Than type your message like this,

http://twitter.com/home?status=RT @zeeshanraza How to put a Retweet link in your Tweets http://tinyurl.com/86qc3h

Now you wanna remove all the spaces in between with %20 and all the @ ("at" sign) and #(hashtag) with %40 and %23 respectively.

so now you get a pretty long and ugly looking URL like this

Test your URL in a web browser, and than shorten when it works fine.

thats it, now you are ready to tweet with a RT link.

http://tinyurl.com/76cwa5 this is the shorten URL.
