Tweets for Sale! Buy your tweet here!
April 13, 2010
Twitter announced Tuesday that it’s allowing companies to pay to have their tweets show up first in searches on its site. The new advertising model is to be tested by Virgin, Best Buy and host of other companies.
The paid tweets will show up if you follow the advertiser or not, and if not retweeted they will “disappear” …
Enjoy the new business model, I can’t wait to get my new Geek Squad tweet offering the latest Windows based virus protection software for my linux machine.
Find another way to make money Twitter, this isn’t going to work as well as you think.
The major problem is that people are saying “I don’t want to hear about Best Buy” …. and the kicker… there is talk that twitter is considering an offer of “pay not to get ads”
That’s right if you don’t pay you get bombarded with ads…but if you shell out money you will get your tweets spam free! The source of that is close to the company and I can verify that was discussed at a recent meeting.
Enjoy the new reality.
