What r your thoughts on website services that offer increasing your Twitter followers to the thousands?

Posted July 23rd, 2009 by ddahl

IWantFollowers.com is one that I've been looking at but not sure if I want random people following me. On the other note, a huge follower base might be nice for reaching sheer number of people. Thoughts?

The first question

Adrian Chira 2 years 25 weeks 1 day 9 hours ago

The first question is if your followers are your clients. If the tool you use to add followers does not bring you clients than you should try something else. The second question may be how many followers you have. It is the fight quality vs. quantity. In the case of tweeter I choose quality on both sides: I follow persons that I think are interesting and give me new insights on the topics I am interested in, and I want to be followed by people interested in what I have to say. And I am happy if I have 5 great followers instead of 10,000 that does not count for me.

Best regards,

Adrian

I don't prefer them ..

Adding your twitter id in Twitter directories like Wefollow is just fine but not using services that add followers to your idI prefer if my follower count increase organically. Another thing that i keep tab on is to block all the spammy followers .Thats my take on this topic

I have already talked about

I have already talked about this in comments on a relevant blog post about this topic.

Long story short - No, don't use any of services that promise you large amount of followers for free.

What's your goal?

Donald:

I think only you can answer this question and it depends on how you would answer this:

Is your objective in belonging to the Twitterverse to have a lot of followers, or is your objective to build relationships with people, share information and add value?

It seems to me the answer lies in how you would answer this question. Personally, I would be in a bigger hurry to build relationships, but your objectives may be different from mine. If you have interesting things to say, you will grow followers over time, and they will follow you for your VALUE, not because you entered the Follow Me Lottery and won.

Tweet on ... Steve

Exactly.

The number of followers one has is not really a good metric to measure how 'successful' someone is in social networking. Sure, it may feel good to have thousands upon thousands of follwers, but if that network is built upon using large and what I consider 'spammy' techniques, it seems to defeat the purpose of building relationships online because all you'll probably do is use a desktop application such as Tweetdeck of Seeismic to filter all of these new followers tweets anyway.

Mass followers

Hi Dan,

I totally agree with your reference to "spammy techniques"- what is the quality of followers one will have when there is no relationship developed or commonality for following a person/business. I could have thousands of followers by the weekend but how many of them would be nude pic, vitamin, or some other shady work from home offer? I speak out about this in my blog for that very reason.

I have seen in so many places to build the content and they will come mantra. And the social media tools you mentioned are definately worth a peek.

I have a client that recently established his Facebook/ Twitter presence and after he offered a coupon exclusive expected to have massive followers and business double in restaurant. People need to realize that blogging, tweeting, etc needs to go viral ( as most of Inbound Marketers know) and is not an overnight process.

If we think of it in sales terms- its a matter of qualified leads vs looky loos.

By the way I also saw in another forum you are currently optimizing your site content.So am I-good luck.
