First of all, let me say it is not a sure thing. But it will increase the odds of getting more followers on the popular micro-blogging site.
With all the focus these days on monetizing Twitter and the likelihood of the company releasing paid services for business, I thought a post getting back to Twitter basics was in order.
About a month ago, Twitter started a “Suggested Users” program that points new members to Tweeters they might be interested in following. “We noticed a certain percentage of new users were signing up and then not following anyone,” which diminishes the relevance of the site, a company blog post explains.
On Thursday, Twitter details how the program works and what people can do to get on the suggested followers list. The explanation is somewhat vague, but here are several points:
Twitter looks at a “bunch of key ingredients such as how much of the profile is filled out, certain indications that the account is interesting to others in some respects, and a few other signals,” according to a blog post.
Then a list is generated and reviewed by the product team to see whether an account is a good introduction to Twittering, whether it has a fairly wide or mainstream appeal and to be sure any celebrities are who they say they are and not fakes.
So it definitely helps to fill out a profile. That’s because “suggested users are getting more followers because they are suggested,” the company says.
