(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 :)

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 Hi Danny,

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. :)

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.

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.

The sad thing is that many spammers are getting ever more clever with interspersing what appears to be real conversation among their spam messages, making it all the more difficult in deciding who to follow back.

Here are just a few of the bio lines I've seen duplicated in numerous accounts that are a red flag:

“I'm an ordinary people who are using twitter. I'd like to collect useful twitter tips and categorise them properly.”

“This the land of trick,here you find some trick about wordpress,google adsens,twitter,joomly,seo firefox.”

“Discuss Yoga, Discover life, tell you YOGA STORY,YOGA DIARY,YOGA KNOWLEDGE,WEIGHT LOSS,BEAUTY”

“Here you can Find all about Cooking Fans, pictures, photos, videos, fans, biography, reviews and everythings.”
