Quick Twitter Question

Hi, Im sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

Is there a limit to how many people you can follow on twitter, if you only have a few followers?

For example, I have an account that has about 200 followers. If I go in and follow 2,000 people today, Am I going to get booted? or otherwise in trouble?

Thanks a lot

Sunny

    Hello,
    I asked this question recently and here is what another warrior posted:

    Twitter actually tell you about this stuff already.

    TAKEN FROM TWITTER SUPPORT
    A quick summary of limitations is:

    1,000 updates per day
    250 direct messages per day
    150 API requests per hour
    Follow limit 2000

    It seems like you can folow 2000 people quickly but I would still take it slow to be safe.

      And I got that directly from Twitter.

      These numbers do change sometimes though so it's best just to check for yourself at the Twitter support site - Twitter Support :: I can't follow people: follow limits

    For me it seems you have to follow 4 or 5 times as many people that follow you is this right as it seems to get a 1000 + will take for ever and mean me following 5 or 6 thousand people.

    Would I therefore be punished if I follow that many then they follow me and I unfollow them ?

    Best wishes too all.

    Hi

    with a following count like yours i would recommend not following more than 300 as you dont want to get yourself kicked off.

    but with twitter it is much more important to get targeted followers, form relationships and have quality updates following thousands everyday isnt going to help your business in the long run.

    here is a free tutorial to get you started:

      First off you need to understand what you want out of twitter, then determine which is the best way to attack it.

      Example, i was looking to build high power offline relationships via twitter. The way to do that, get a butt load of followers, that lead you to the people you want to take offline in a relationship. Caveat to that, you have to deliver content period, you have to connect with people, and if your spamming buy this links buy that, go here, and it has no value you will get no where.

      Now as far as follow limits, Its 2000 until you hit the 2k in followers mark , then you may continue to follow up to 10% of your following.

      If you have 3000 followers you can follow 300 8000 follower u can follow 800 and so forth.

      My best advice to using Twitter, Decide what you want out of twitter first, or what is your strategy, them implement tactics to make that a reality.

    When I discovered how much traffic you can get from twitter I got excited and trigger happy but then I discovered that almost all of it doesn't convert. So I changed tactics and now I'm starting to use twitter properly..

    Also my rule in twitter is "Slowly But Surely". Due to the large number of people spamming them, they've started implementing really strict regulations..

    They could easily suspend your account and if that happens you might never hear from it again.

    To Your Success!
