Paid Twitter Followers Subscription

Hi Guys,

I see lot of ads to buy out twitter followers. Are they any worthy? Are those followers genuine? I believe these companies create thousands of fake profile and tweet posing as them through some software. Does twitter owners never observe these fraudsters?

Some of the profiles indeed could be fake and some are actual real people.

I don't agree with people buying and selling twitter followers and i think it's just a cheap way to make a buck. Yea, you can by followers but how many of them are really interested in what you tweet and how many will interact with you on twitter on a constant basis?

If you earn twitter followers the old fashioned way by tweeting quality stuff and promoting your twitter link online, you would have a quality list that can help out your online business.

Looks like twitter don't do anything to these people who buy and sell twitter accounts. There a tons of these sites online that do this service still.

Quality vs quantity. If you buy them the only real purpose is to make yourself look bigger as a number to those people who look at your fan base. You will most likely find that the purchased ones end up unfollowing later on down the track to make themselves look more ballanced. In my view they serve no purpose but to bulk up the impression that a business or person is more popular. After its a popularity contest on there

Read these and decide for yourself:

Why Are You Buying Fans, Friends and Followers?

Bing Webmaster Central Blog:

If you're tempted to take a shortcut, think of this. What good are fake friends? How much value do false followers add? The answer here is: none. You see, it's not simply the number of friends or followers you have that signals value to a search engine. It expands to include patterns and volume of sharing. Retweets count, as do shares, Likes, etc. False friends that have been paid to "Like" something or fake followers on Twitter don’t show patterns of behavior that look normal. They look spikey and abnormal, so we simply ignore them.

The bottom line here is if you pay a service to provide a boost to your numbers, it's going to be a waste of money. Fake friends don't share your posts. They don't retweet your tweets. They don't click on your links. They simply cost you money and offer no return.

Also, being such a huge brand, why it doesn't protect its business interests and allow others to make profit through their product. It could simply state that buying these twitter followers will result ban and people will surely refrain from buying out.

It's as snake and HTML said, there's no point in buying followers or fans or likes. They're not real. They do nothing but falsify statistics. Which if you're after stats, then go for it.. but they do nothing for genuine traffic and/or customers/members.

They're either fake accounts or accounts being sold solely for the use in these types of sales. They wont view your site, click your ads or buy your services/products. So really, it's just a waste of your time and money.
