Followers~~ hummm? Targetted or not targetted. I look for things like this but must have also following capability and search capability and do it on autopilot. Also think thats a steep price. I was recently quoted for 500-1000 per week, $40 a month. that was general. $70 a month for specific. (That is 2,500-5,000).

They might promise followers but anyone can create dozens or hundreds of phantom Twitter accounts, all you need is a unique email address. I sincerely doubt that 1,000 Followers=1,000 individual people who are reading your messages. I doubt if it’s even 100 people.

Huh? Presumably these are fictional people who are poured into your account like sugar?

A certain forum that I use, someone was passing out a Twitter follower campaign for free. If you probably Google search it, someone could probably find a free follow program out there where they just have to sign up or do something. I don’t really approve of it and charging for it just makes it even worse.
