There are some great ways to market on Twitter and other social sites – one of the newest is TweetROI, which seems to take a more solution-led approach, so it'll be interesting to see how successful they are. (Disclaimer – my 12for12k project is using TweetROI as a testbed for tweet success in raising non-profit awareness).

Which makes the methods of RevTwt seem less effective if there's no targeting, just hit and hope methodology instead.

Glad the post helped you

Hi Danny,
I got a tinyUrl from another twitter user for http://bit.ly/2lXlAc which was http://revtwt.com/. My first thought was, wouldn’t this get me booted for spamming! I searched, and yours was the best information I found on this operation. It is a shame because some companies have found legitimate ways to connect with their customers. Big Thanks and a new Follower @AutOrphan

If they were going for the bigger players, they messed up with me as a choice – I'm just as average as the next guy. Now, the likes of Chris Brogan, Guy Kawasaki, etc… there's your big players right there

I think Twitter will survive – people are simply blocking approaches like this and tailoring the effectiveness of their stream to suit. Which, in a self-regulatory kind of way, will see approaches like this diminish. Hopefully.

Thanks for stopping back and sharing your thoughts, KJ, appreciated.

I think this is def the wrong way about this Danny. This is spam or robots or small army doing this “promotion.” This is def aimless. They have chosen either bigger players in the social world, like yourself, to try to get a bite, or they have just selected everyone to come to that site. I was just saying that Twitter is a great tool that will get results. ( When done the correct way) This “campaign” is going to to be death of Twitter if they cannot get a grasp on it.

And if done properly, you will get results.

Looking at your website and the marketing page in particular, you mention:

When it comes to marketing, you can’t afford to throw darts aimlessly and hope to hit a bull’s eye. A successful company needs a strategy.

Would you say that the method in question discussed on this post was aimless or strategized? Seems the results - Twitter accounts blocked, domain for sale - speak for themselves. Which makes me question the marketing or advertising behind this particular "campaign".
