    Im just curious, I know its illegal but are there actually websites that sell retweets? Or if there is I mean how is it done? Is it just fake twitter accounts or real ones?

    It's not illegal as such. There is no state law (not one that I know of at least) prohibiting you accept monetary funds in exchange for retweets...
    I'm not even sure if this is really against twitters ToS.
    Anyhow, you might want to try out http://retweet.it/
    Cheers

    There are sites that do 'sponsored tweets', but personally I'd steer clear. I signed up for one, but then never heard anything after that. I also used one of those add tons of followers sites and got bombed out by Twitter for my trouble! It seems Twitter is really on the ball.

    A little bit of everything is out there. You just have to look.

    You'd probably have better success by having content that people WANT to retweet without you having to pay them.
