# See actual tweets driving traffic and revenue

Instead of seeing generic `t.co` links in your referrer data, see the actual tweets that drove traffic and revenue to your website with DataFast's 𝕏 integration.

## Why this matters for revenue attribution

Generic t.co links tell you nothing about your marketing performance. DataFast's 𝕏 tweet attribution takes your marketing to the next level:

- **Identify top influencers** - Find accounts that send high-value traffic
- **Track ROI by tweet** - See which posts generate revenue, not just clicks
- **Measure campaign performance** - Track hashtag campaigns and social ads

## How it works

DataFast automatically scans 𝕏 for your website links and attribute the traffic and revenue to the actual tweets. Here's how to see them:

1. Go to the **Referrer** card in your main analytics dashboard
2. Add `𝕏` as a [filter](/docs/datafast-filters) to see the actual tweets

There are two types of attribution:

#### 1/ 𝕏 posts attribution

When someone posts a link to your website on 𝕏.
No need to do anything 👍

#### 2/ 𝕏 link-in-bio attribution

If you have your website linked in your 𝕏 profile (personal or business), add your handle(s) to DataFast:

1. Go to your **[Website Settings](/dashboard) > Integrations**
2. Find the **Twitter / 𝕏** section
3. Click the **Link attribution** tab
4. Add the handle of the accounts that link to your site like `@datafast_`, `@not_boring_company`.

> **Important:** Only add accounts that actually have your website link somewhere in their profile, like your own 𝕏 account, or an affiliate 𝕏 account.

It can take a few hours for DataFast to attribute all previous traffic and revenue to the actual tweets.
