How to dominate Twitter, now?*

To me it looks like one big spamfest of fake followers.
Do webmasters actually get conversions from this?
I followed my first few hundred, now what?
Keep posting, liking, messaging and adding?
Back when I did this in 2014 it seemed easier for some reason, quicker, to get followers.

Twitter is trying to crack down on spam bots - Feb. 21, 2018

simple process to get targeted followers in Twitter:

- List all big shot accounts (influencers)
- start following their most active followers
- unfollow those who didn't follow you every month
- retweet daily your influencers accounts tweets
- like/unlike/favourite/comment
- DM all new followers as a welcome mesage with your offer
- rinse and repeat and get conversions

Thanks, that's like $1000s of dollars of advice in one paragraph. I see how your plan could work.

How do I find the most active followers of the influencers/target accounts?

Can't see that in the dashboard.

Can also see how media consulting companies do it. Offshore some gruntwork to fiver, make a whole bunch of accounts, use bots to retweet each other, buy some traffic, show all the impressions and engagement in the dashboard, and before the consulting contract ends, hope no one figures out it's all bullshit.

Regarding the follow/unfollow technique, I think they're cracking down on follower churn, too. (follow a bunch, unfollow the non-followbacks)

I have an experimental account and I noticed a few things on it:
- They'll suspend it now after about 500 "events" per day. It's easy to get back, but it's definitely better to avoid it by tapering off after a few hundred clicks.
- They're messing with numbers. I can start with, say, 1000 following, 1000 followers. I can follow 500 people, come back in a few hours, see notifications for 50 new follows and be at 1001 followers. I'm not crazy, they're deliberately messing with the numbers. It does not happen on a "real" account.

In case it helps, for my experimental account I chose the niche of sports and I play around to see what causes engagement, follow backs, etc. I've had it going for about 18 months and the follower churn crackdown has been in the past 4 months or so. I see about one followback per 10-20 follows (per 10 being a good list, per 20 being untargeted.) Curious what sort of returns you guys see.

OK, so a couple of meme-oriented retweets with images on hot topics (Oscars, Kek, etc.).
Some of those get 20-50% engagement.
One got to 20,000 impressions.
Also I got viral on an original post with two or three retweeters with big followings picking it up. Went to 16000 on that one.

I started a 3rd account and was just hitting follow follow follow....they locked and banned after only 5 minutes of that. Fucking bastards, i'm not a bot, i was using my human mind and opposible thumb. I tell you, the war between robots and humans has already begun.

But I have masked (redirect/cloak) affiliate links all over my stuff and that's the bottom line. I see zero change outside normal fluctations in traffic to my sponsors.

So I'm thinking twitter is just bullshit....maybe good for other stuff but not converting traffic.

What's it good for?
