Get Instant Followers and Likes with $5 dollars
Hello there guys. It's been a while since I've made a blog post here on WA.
Also, I need to apologize for the title and the lure that has attracted you here, but I've seen these tweets all over the news feed on twitter and they caught my attention. I want to believe these are fake and full of scams. I wanted to know and ask the community if there's anyone who knows if buying into these things would hurt your SEO rankings on Google?
Has anyone had an encounter with these profiles that promise instant follows which translates to traffic to your website. It all seems too good to be true... sorta like a scam.
This is what I've found on my newsfeed
If anyone has had experience with these and actually have these work for them. Let me know. It is tough to build an audience, especially on Facebook(they've made it really hard to reach people if you don't invest into their ads).
Thanks for reading

Hi - I did it once as a test, to get twitter followers for a random account.
It worked. One minute the account had 0 followers - the next it had 4,000.
Now, even if you have a huge network of followers - sending a note, email, tweet to them, will NOT get an instant response of exactly the number of followers the $5 was guaranteed to get you. So it was obvious to me it was a scam, and I'll never go near it again. The 4,000 "followers" were no doubt fake accounts, setup exactly for this purpose - to allow the scammer to "sell" followers time and time again.
There was absolutely 0 interaction with any of them.
My advice is to stay away - as has been said, the search engines will get to know quickly, what accounts are fake - and I can't see them rewarding you for it.
Cheers, Mark
I agree with boomergp08 they are not genuine and it is not guaranteed that they will interact with you
It doesn't matter whether they are a scam or not, they are definitely not good for your SEO rankings. Buying Retweets, Favorites, Likes, Followers, or anything you should be doing yourself is not looked favorably on by Google. They are quite clear in their webmaster tools guidelines of what you should not do.
They make no difference
Google has become clever and knows when likes and followers are bought so they hold no weight.
Also like and followers have to be constantly active to bring any benefit
Don't waste your money, give $5 to charity instead
I know a few people here have done something like this before joining WA. Nothing good came out of it and they would NOT do it again.
Some of these are actually true but many are scams. Not real scams but they're bots and many get them from blackhat and I don't recommend because I heard YouTube and google don't take these things likely if they figure out they're not real. It might work for some but its just a risk thing.
It is risky. I've made this post so the community can be aware as well of these things and not buy into them if they're actually scams.
Yea I agree...a lot of times sound too good to be true and probably because it is lol. Except for WA

From the looks of it, it seems like these instant follows are a scam. I only wish that everyone in the community can see this so that they don't fall into the trap in their quest to get more traffic.
Thanks to everyone for their input I truly appreciate it
