I have been using twitter for quite some time now to market my blog. The problem is that the limit of people that will be followed is 2000. I have been following great bloggers, news website and various companies. How can i jump over the 2000 limit of people to follow?
Have you ever tried twitter? I am a twitter user and currently have 2,000 people being followed. They won't allow me to add more. I have been reorganizing the people i follow. Its hard for me to find inactive users.
I do not think their is a way around it at this time. They put that limit in place to stop the follow spammers from following thousands of people at a time in hopes of those following them back.
does twitter really gets traffic ?? i just signed up few days back.. but still confused about how it works..never tried to learn actually.. looks like everyone is going for twitter..
Yes. It really is helping us in generating traffic. It gives traffic with low bounce rate just don't spam.
Well first of all you need to clarify what you are asking here, I'm getting two different questions from the postings you've made. The problem is either: a) You are following 2,000 people on twitter and can't add more, or b) Your account has 2,000 people following it. If the situation is A, then I understand the limit, why the hell would you follow 2000+ people around? I doubt that B is a problem/limit in their software.
Can some one explore on that? I am new to twitter and looking to learn about it. What niche do you think best converts for twitter traffic?
They just imposed the limit so if you followed over 2000 people before they imposed that limit then you can keep following those people but not add any more. Twitter is a great tool to build relationships but its going to be ruined by spammers sooner or later.
The limit is 2000 that you can follow until you have received enough followers of your own. Once you have reached 200 followers of your own then you will be able to follow more people. The put that in so there would be a huge disparity between followers and followee....hint...Spamming
Try search.twitter.com. Select your target keyword and it shows current people who are using your keyword. Maybe we can consider it a niche.
Fuck the LIMIT. So who knows how to market on Twitter? There is actually a new ad network specifically for Twitter that is out now. So make those monies people.
Alpha, are you referring to Magpie ad network? Right now it is crap, they only have a handful of ads in rotation. How many of you on twitter would stop following people who use this service to auto advertise to you after X amount of tweets?
The minute that spammers and other losers take over Twitter is the minute people will migrate to something else.
I never know that there is such a limit on people that you could follow. I'm just following 900. the best thing that you could do is too eliminate those not active.
Don't follow that many people. This community is great for traffic, but it's a social network. 'Hard' Marketing will not pay off for you, and will eventually cave it in for the rest who are doing well there. Following 2000 people sounds a little spammy to me. Besides, those aren't the people that will bring your traffic anyway. Keep updating regularly and you'll attract more followers.
I've actually seen that their system is cracking down hard on spammers. Some marketers tried to develop software that would automate posts and follows but the account were suspended within a few hours. I'm not sure if others have succeeded, but for the time being, I think that twitter is a little smarter than the spaming marketer.
