Helping You Rock Out Your Site Like A Rockstar!

Not long ago I blogged about how it takes quality tweeting on Twitter to organically build your followership. Of course, in the past few weeks, the site TweeterGetter has surfaced, promising users that if the join the cause, then they could get over 19K followers within 30 days. Already the creator of TweetGetter, Gary McCaffrey.

Now, I am not seeing that Gary is not being like bots and being stagnant. He is actually twittering, though I am kind of disappointed. I am sure he will have people fall out because his idea says if you do his system, you will follow the 6 people in front of you, and those after, will follow up to 5 levels deep. Sounds familiar… hmmm… like a pyramid scheme.

Although the idea behind it is brilliant, it kind of cheapens the experience, at least from my first thoughts. For shits and giggles I did try it. Though I am skeptical. Personally, if I am going to do something like this, then I am going to talk with the other people I am following. Also, because I have already said almost two months ago, I was going to try some of these and give feedback, this is actually the first time I will get to try it.

I did almost 1500 followers in less than 2 months organically by talking with them. My stream clearly proves myself as I am on everyday and have almost over 3000 tweets. My issue is that with TweeterGetter, you are going to get all sorts of people to follow that do not have anything in common. It is kind of hard when I have a ton of interests, but it would be ridiculuous if someone who cannot speak English follows me and we cannot communicate. Also, I do not want in testing this out that all the wonderful people I have been conversing with for the past two months to suddenly make me their enemy. There in lies the failure I will most likely find in testing this out. A lot, I am sure I will unfollow. I do so on a daily basis to accounts that have no profile filled out or might seem like a bot. Although I almost turned away from it, I really was curious. I have heard about the uproar and then the positive side, but is there anyone testing it out?

In testing this, I want to try this and blog about my findings:

• 1. What type of people are following me?
• 2. Did I make any new meaningful connections through this?
• 3. What type of people did I unfollow?
• 4. What type of feedback have I drawn in testing this out?
• 5. Did it work?
• 6. Was the venture really worth it at all?

What I already know is:

• 1. There is no money involved. It is free.
• 2. The creator Gary has stated in his Twitter stream that he is not collecting email addresses.
• 3. Some of the big tweeps in Twitter are strongly voicing their opinion against TweeterGetter.
• 4. The person before me who was the referrer has over 900 followers and his personal webpage is a Google PR 4, with good content.
• 5. In doing a search on TweeterGetter in Google, I have a lot of mixed opinion blogs as well as quite a lot of comments supporting both and unsupporting issue of TweeterGetter.
• I only have to enter once for it to work.
• Apparently, you can get more than 19K of followers. However from skeptics, I may only get 6 to 36 and be filling another’s follower numbers.

Personally, I could care less about number, but there are people saying it is a gimic, a pyramind scheme, a ponzi scheme, password stealer, and calling people names. Grow up! Try to do this civilly. Following and unfollowing is as simple as a click. And passwords, well if you use it, just change the password again if you are fearful about your account being hacked.

I am ONLY giving this 5 days for any type of results, not the 30 days as I am not going to conduct that long of an experiment and possibly go through the grief it may drag me in. Plus, if it REALLY does work, then in 5 days, there should be results. Any other results I should consider?

I am including a couple links to articles that express opinions shared about TweeterGetter. You can also refer to the Google search link I provided earlier in this article:

• I am not going to DM it or do any outside promo. Only the click. It should work as it says it will, right?
