TEN to ONE!
I made a simple discovery today that for every TEN people that you follow on WA, ONE will follow you back. That is all that I have to share today.......:)
Please comment on whether or not this is true for you.....Thank You.

If they follow me; I follow them...I did not proposed this;this is part of WA's kind of benefits. Meeting lots of other people in the same interest of their business as in LinkedIn or twitter; etc."By making acquaintances, you create trust on time", right?
I'm not sure there's any value in trying to get followers-for-followers-sake.
I certainly only follow someone whose chat, training, blogs, etc. have been of interest, whether from a learning perspective or very occasionally from sheer good-or-bad *entertainment* value. I've just taken a quick glance at a few of my Go-To A-List, such as @BIS, @IveTriedThat, @veronica.l, etc. and they all have disproportionately large numbers of followers compared to those they are following. It's hardly surprising, as first-and-foremost they provide immense value to the community.
I'd leave the numbers game to those on Facebook whose fragile egos mislead them to believe it confers some form of *status*!

Simply clicking follow will not necessarily prompt someone to follow you back. Most follows come from within content. For example if you blog about something that people find interesting then they will follow you so they get notified when you blog about other things. But following someone you do not know yet just because they follow you first, will happen at a lower rate. Those who have large followings here at WA have earned them from helping others, commenting, interacting, and engaging within the system. Many people take their time familiarizing themselves with WA, and once they realize the benefit of being part of the community, they will be much more likely to start following others.
Thanks for shedding some light on this subject, Carson. It makes sense that quality interaction would result in quality follows. :)

I agree w/JavierAO. If people follow me, I follow them. It's how the system works, how society works. I don't know the actual figures you have from here...
Hello Captsnaz: Thanks for looking at the post. Hope you have a great week! :)
