In setting up a twitter account is it necessary to have various IPs, especially if you are setting up a large amount of them?
Yes, you need different IPs. You can create up to 10 accounts from a single IP in a 24 hour period - on the 11th attempt, it will tell you "You Can't do That Right Now", and all previous 10 accounts will be marked for deletion.
The best way to market on Twitter at this point is to understand that your account WILL be banned, likely within 24 hours - sometimes within an hour. For example, mass following will now cause auto-banning because if a certain percentage of follows result in the person blocking you you're automatically suspended.
I used to create a large number of accounts (thousands), then wait a day to see which ones they ban, then customize and follow from all accounts in a huge batch. They've become wise to that strategy.
What I'm starting to do is a single account at time, and do everything very quickly. I use automated software to create an account, customize it with the API (links, background, images, tweets with whatever links you want in them, etc.) and immediately follow up to 980 (until the API starts spitting back at us - sometimes it's 200-500) people. With the right software from beginning to end you can do all of this - including the follows - within 30 seconds for each account. Then it creates the next one. The accounts all get banned within hours (sometimes minutes) but they're still the cheapest clicks around.
So, just do one at a time and ride each account until the wheels fall off. They usually last only a few hours, but if you're monetizing properly you can still make a little something above your captcha solving costs. You don't need to worry about unfollowing - the accounts will die too quickly to ever get to the point where you follow 2,000.
Well it is not 10/IP now and it has reduced to about 2-3 per IP only and you have to regulate your proxy for next set of accounts.
I think you're right. I created 9 off of the same IP yesterday and they all got flagged. I don't mass create so it's no big deal to me, but they're making it tougher for those who are.

So what about logging into the accounts? Say you have 5k accounts that didn't get banned from creation. What if you log into all of them with the same IP?
