How do they get twitter followers

31 replies
Okay all these that get people twitter followers.

How do you get them. I do not see how you can get
quality twitter followers without the password, yet everyone
says no pass needed.

Im just curious, my thought is what they do is have thousands and thousands of fake accounts and use it to get the other the followers with a script of some sort.

    Getting targeted and high quality twitter followers can be accomplished by following these steps:

    1) Define your targeted market, niche, or subject.

    2) Use TweetAdder to search by keyword, location, name, etc.

    3) Run the automated following with TweetAdder at least a couple of times per day. You need to make sure that you stay within the limit of Twitter.

    4) Make sure to tweet a couple of times per day about stuff in your niche. The more retweets and answers you get the better.

    That is not what the post is and is not what they do. I have all the programs and for them to work you have to supply a password, The ones that sell this say no password needed.

      I think I understand what you meant.

      Are you talking about service providers that offer unlimited twitter followers
      or something similar and tell you they don't need the password to your twitter
      account to send you followers?

      If that's the case then what you think could be true, the providers may have
      thousands of twitter accounts that they can use to follow another twitter
      user (either via bot or script).

      I say this because the typical way to get followers is to follow them and to do
      that you need to be logged in.

      If some people offer thousands of followers to your account without the
      need to follow any, then that means they have thousands of accounts under
      their control. Maybe they are a group or like what most people think, these are dummy accounts.

    My bet is they aren't very good followers no matter what they say about it, I imagine they tweet your u/n or pass it through some system and ask them to follow you.

    Either that or they are the owners of a credit exchange like us and they are putting your u/n into their site and giving you some form of credits for people to follow you.

    Or something like that...

    There are alot of Twitter based websites like Twellow, Twibes, or Social Oomph that can cause you to get alot of twitter followers. With Social Oomph, you can set it up that when someone follows you, you can send them an email automatically to thank them and then lead them to a link promoting your website.

      It will not work, I tried that, you have to be specific and the ones that arent interested won't follow, I would take so long to get followers like that. I only get about 25 percent return rate on my follow as it is with great keyword search. Unfollowing is a bigger job than following.

    I have the same thought, fake followers.
    Anw, I recommend you not to use software. Following other to get followers (#teamfollowback) is not valuable. You can buy a promo from famous acc such as @omgfacts etc.

    follow at least 100-200 users per day. Most of them will follow you back. after 3 days, unfollow those that didn't follow you.

    Check what's trending and tweet about it. Dont SPAM.

    All you gotta do is know your market and follow the followers of popular people within your niche. Lets say you're into personal development, follow the followers of Brian Tracy or Tony Robbins for example. Another way is to create an account on twellow and there are categories. Choose one and follow people. Always remember though, the quantity does not matter. It's merely a design which looks cool in other people's eyes. It's all about quality. Having followers in twitter is not all you need to do. You also need to develop relationships there which is another story.

    They have hundreds of bot accounts with a magnitude of followers that they can tweet your website too, the problem is most of the followers they tweet to are non-targeted and unproductive accounts.

    Yer, Tweet Adder is great.

    You do need to be careful though as Twitter have changed
    their rules a bit.

    eg

    You can't add more than 1000 followers per day now.

    "targeted" followers always makes me laugh!

    there is only ONE "currency" in the TwittersSphere and that is SIZE OF BASE.

    nobody ever looks at WHO your followers are - only HOW MANY.

    and the bigger you get, the bigger you get (thx to "mirror-mirror-on-the-wall" sites like twittergrader, twitaholic, twellow, et al) - oh, and you are WAY more likely to get a follow out of a forum like the WF if you have 100k followers than if you have 1k

    Lots of followers = reach, power, reputation, getting BIG accounts to @msg you back, commanding a TON of high PageRank backlinks, being able to pull the trigger on millions (I get 10's of millions) of "tweet impressions per 24 hour period - I'm going for 100 million in 2012 - based on bi-hourly, ie, no more than 12 tweets per day - do the math on how many followers that takes!

      If you actually offer a service or product, target means everything. I would pay alot of money for an account that has targeted vistors over any account that just takes followers.

        here's the BIG ISSUE with "targeted follower" logic in Twitter.

        NOBODY, and I do mean NOBODY is paying ANY ATTENTION WHATSOEVER to their tweet stream. Even those who segment their following list in the form of a Twitter list rarely ever go look at it.

        Thus, "reaching" someone via a regular tweet is a very rare event, indeed. If they just BLINK, it auto-refreshes and it's gone, 4 screens down.

        VASTLY more powerful are @messages that address someone directly (who will rarely, if ever, @msg you back unless you have a big enough followerbase), as well as automated backlink development (gotta get the KEYWORDS IN THE TWEET just right, however, and never forget how powerful Twitter is at market testing and training yourself to write good copy - often ignored or overlooked skills that will make you a fortune once you develop proficiencies. Twitter gives you near-instant feedback on whether or not your 140 characters of copy is worth a crap - then just change something up and go again - no harm, no foul, right?

        As for gaining followers within your niche, I found when I had 2500 followers precisely NOBODY (of any import) would follow me back, but when I had over 100,000 (and was bigger than MOST in my niche) they suddenly ALL WANTED TO FOLLOW ME - or already were) - isn't it funny how that works?

        And when you wander over to their blog or website and hit the "contact us" button with a missive like "hey, I'm one of your followers with 120k of my own followers on twitter and I was just wondering....."

        I find you get a response EVERY SINGLE TIME - so I always scoff at targeting - it takes care of itself, over time

          I can understand what you are saying but it's hard for me to accept change. So what I do is create another account and test the theory. So I will do this now. I will keep this thread as subscribed even though I don't subscribe to let you know how it is going. I never want to just say it is not right. I like to find out. I will check click rates and so forth to see what happens.

          I have created an account. Nick Savage @TwitTweetking I will work it and let you know after a couple of thousand followers.

          Thanks.

          Okay its started, I went with just over 200 to follow. I did not follow any without avatars. Will follow 200 a day and on day three start unfollowing who is not following me. Here is a pic.

    I here alot of people say I can add a 1000 a day too so I will implement that also. I will add 1000 but I do know Once I hit 2000 it will stop unless I have enough followers. So I will add the 2000 then I will wait four or five days and take the unfollowers off. Then do it again.

      I used to use some type of website where you would follow someone then get these twitter points and people would follow you back for points. The only downside is that none of these people are interested in your tweets - lol.

    For me Twitter sounds to much robotic and it easy to spam it,facebook is more advanced but you gain more quality traffic from facebook than twitter. There is just a lot of software on the market to help you adding folowers. Tweeternaire is very powerful software to add followers.

    Should we talk of quality and not quantity? And I do pose that as a question as I am no Twitter expert.

    Interested to see where this thread goes and what results people typically achieve with Twitter.

    Okay after today I hit a wall and it wasn't a 1000 it was some less but close. So they must use an algorithm to do this and not numbers. Here is the screen shot after a day.


    I will get back to this tomorrow.

    One way for you to get as many followers as you want is through following targeted people first. Doing it manually is quite better than automatic. Follow 100-200 people a day is fine, don't follow more than that. If you reached 800-1,000 followers, wait for your account to have at least 100-200 people following you, then un-follow 50-100 people a day who doesn't follow you.

    oh my gosh, I totally failed at Twitter when I started first. Now it works out fine. What I do is follow people based on the interest. Then, some of them start to follow me. It is annoying but it totally works.

    There are several ways to get followers, but getting fake ones won't help. Ussualy people are following someone just to get the same back, another way is buying followers, from sites like fiverr. Don't worry, having a smaller number of real followers is way better than having a ton of fake ones.

    I managed to get lots of targeted twitter followers at - www.eservicesdominator.com

    The best thing was that they were followers interested in my niche which helped alot for marketing. recommended!

      Targeted followers are irrelevant since twitter updated its search feature, you just need lots of followers junk ones or targeted doesnt matter, you tweets will show up as a top tweet in the search and your tweets will appear their for a few weeks to followers and non followers,

      as for how are they getting followers without password they are all providing fake followers, using fakes accounts and a simple php script
