Tweet Adder: Friend or Foe?

by Brian on February 8, 2010

If you follow... they'll follow back.

I like to test products and services out for at least a month or so before writing a full review. I’ve been using the twitter tool, Tweet Adder for about 3 months now and the verdict is in: If you want to get followers fast, you have to try Tweet Adder.

Everyone wants to know how to get more followers on Twitter. With Tweet Adder, I’ve acquired over 6,000 quality followers across 4 different twitter accounts in a matter of 3 months – and they’re still growing.
Tweet Adder is a software that helps you manage multiple twitter accounts. What it does very well is to help you find good tweeters that fit the niche of your twitter account and then follow them based on parameters that you set. The philosophy here: if you follow, they will follow back. It doesn’t do what Tweetie or TweetDeck do. You can’t easily post a single tweet or see your tweet timeline. It isn’t meant for that. What it’s meant to do is to build your followers, and that it does very well.

You start by downloading the software at tweetadder.com. You can try it out for free or buy a registration that will allow you to manage 1, 5, 10 or an unlimited amount of twitter accounts all from the comfort of your tweet adder program.

After you download and install the software, you add your twitter profiles by entering your twitter username and password. When you log in via tweet adder you’ll see the amount of followers you have, how many you’re following and your follower ratio. This is where the fun begins. Clicking on “search” will offer several ways to search for people to follow. Remember the idea is: if you follow, they will follow back. Among the ways to seek out people to follow, you can search by keywords tweeted from a specific geographic location of your choosing (by zip code, city or state) and search the tweeters following someone else. When you do a search, Tweet Adder stores the tweeters that you’ve searched out in a database and will follow them for you based on criteria that you set under the “follow” tab. Even more importantly, tweet adder will remember when you followed each person and allow you to unfollow them based on whether or not they follow you back after a certain period of time has passed. More on that later.

So, if you sell motorcycle helmets you can find people to follow in your area tweeting about motorcycling or just set tweet adder to follow everyone who follows Harley Davidson. Of course, the following is the easy part. The goal of all this is to get those you follow to follow you back.

To get people to follow you back, you need to tweet often with consistency. Tweet Adder has a solution for this, but it will make you the very thing the Social Net Ninjas despise most about twitter: A spammer. Tweet Adder can tweet for you. Simply come up with a bunch of tweets (140 characters or less of course), enter them under the “tweets” tab, let Tweet Adder know how often to tweet, and Voila! You are now a spam artist.

The Ninjas have said it before and we’ll say it again: Social Media is supposed to be SOCIAL! If you want to build a quality following, leave the “tweets” tab alone, post daily tweets yourself via tweetie and use the other great features of this software.

If you follow... they'll follow back.

If you follow... they'll follow back.

We recommend:
Choose a search option that makes sense and fill your list to about 10,000 people to follow.
Let Tweet Adder follow 35 or so people for you per day.
Let Tweet Adder follow back 20 or so people for you per day.
Let Tweet Adder unfollow 60 or so people per day.
Only unfollow those who don’t follow you within 10 days.
Set your follow ratio to 3 to 1 and check it.
Set your unfollow ratio to 1 to 1 and check it.
Under the “Automation” tab, UNcheck “Automatically Post Updates…” and “Automatically Post Replies…” Check “Do the following tasks..” “Automaticall unfollow users…” “Automatically Follow Back Users…”

Watch what the people you’re following tweet about and tweet back at them. Retweet their tweets, comment on what they’re doing; just be social and they will follow you back.

TIP:
It’s easy to end up following and being followed by spam bots. Following these bots is hazardous to your twitter health because they will muddy up your tweet timeline. You want to see real tweets, from real people so you can interact with them in a timely fashion. It’s tough to have a dialogue when you have to filter through a bunch of get rich quick schemes and ads for penis enlargers. To avoid spammers, under the “search” tab, select “search by tweet keywords” and use a word that your target audience would use but that a spammer likely wouldn’t. Keywords like “going shopping” or “making dinner” will be tweeted by moms or dads, but not by spam bots. Use your noggin, and find people to engage. If you grow your twitter account this way, you’ll be able to activate a real audience who follows you in twitter because you’re real!

Other cool things Tweet Adder does:
Mass delete up to 150 DMs per day via the “Misc” tab.
Send up to 250 DMs per day via the “Messages” tab.

Be patient and tweet with consistency and the twitter gods will reward you with a growing list of followers. With its automated tweet and automated reply features, Tweet Adder can be used for good or evil. Leave “tweets” and “replies” tabs alone and use it for good! As always, if you don’t have the time to work with social media, we offer social networking services.
