Sponsored Tweets

[PeterAlexLeigh]

What's the forums opinion on using Sponsored Tweets (i.e, sponsoredtweets.com) to drive traffic,links and/or followers?

Has anyone had any experience with it they can share?

Another one to your bow - http://twiends.com

A test viperchill ran on this stuff - http://www.viperchill.com/twitter-followers/

Yeah, twiends is ok for gaining 'rubbish' followers, but I'm looking to promote content and drive links - Getting a sponsored tweet from someone in the right field, seems like a good idea, but I need some more convincing!

From what i can tell the real strong profiles that are worth doing it with are extremely expensive. So You really need a big budget for this but i have heard some nice success stories about it.

[PeterAlexLeigh]

Yes, Agreed!

However, even for lower cost tweets I can see some potential with getting a few re-tweets for a link at least. Gotta be worth a punt surely?

Hey Alex,

Did you end up using Sponsored Tweets? How were the results?
