Twitter spam drives me nuts. I hate those auto robots that just follow me to try to get a follow back. You go read their profiles and it is just one affiliate offer after the other. They have nothing of value to offer me, so why would I waste my time reading all of their promotional spam?
If I get a follower in Twitter, I never follow them back until I’ve read their tweets and find stuff looks interesting and useful to me. I have separate Twitter profiles for different interests that I have and I never mix them up. I have one for this blog, and it is purely for internet marketing and related information. So I use that Twitter profile purely for networking with other similar minded people, or for dispensing news, creating backlinks, and getting internet marketing related news.
Now I know that I can use a program like HummingBird or Twitter Sniper Pro to build my Twitter followers quickly, or a hundred other similar Twitter spamming tools. But the truth is that those programs build crappy unresponsive lists where your followers take little or no action.
But I think that one of the reasons for the prevalence of Twitter spam is because people want to get more followers. They think to themselves “the more I have, the more influential I’ll be in the Twittersphere”. So they follow what are obviously spammers (if they bothered to check their tweets). Even worse is when they believe the spammers and buy their tools to spam other people. It’s just plain stupid.
So if you want to use Twitter to build your business or make you money over the long term, please don’t buy into the hype. Please don’t spam! Just build some kick ass connections with targeted communities and use those connections to leverage explosive results for you and your business.
