How To Spam Twitter
Thinking of how to spam Twitter to help boost your marketing? Learning to spam Twitter is a black hat way of promoting your product or service, but it can be effective for the short term. See below how easy spamming on Twitter can be and how clever techniques help to push your tweets to the forefront.
- Too much direct advertising and not enough normal tweets. Overload your tweet messaging with a lot of direct advertising. Twitter is primarily a casual social network. It is not a business forum, so to overly saturate your tweets with direct advertising and unwanted marketing will upset the community.
- Separate each letter of every word in your tweet. This is probably one of the best ways to spam on Twitter, because not only does Twitter's search engine pick up keywords but it also picks up individual letters as well. Let's say you spaced out the word "frog" on Twitter's search engine, separating each letter. Every person that types in their tweets any of those individual letters in their tweets will see your tweet.
- Follow more people than follow you. We mean a lot more people than follow you. If you do this in abundance, this will be seen as spamming on the network, especially if it's done with promotional undertones.
- Write a bunch of keywords with no real text. If you type a bunch of keywords in your tweets without any real valid content, Twitter will see this as spam. You are basically using Twitter's tweet box as a meta tag or keyword box, and that is not what they want.
- Send tons of unwanted personal messages. This is sure to be considered spam and will probably be recognized first by Twitter users. But it is a great way to spam the network, if you really don't care about long-term access to Twitter.
