Natts twitter journey

Updates....

Things are progressing slowly but forward.
I have 12 twitter accounts with about 50 followers each.
I'm aiming for 100 accounts.
Not much people following me yet. I have not implemented any unfollow script yet.
We'll get there when I'm finished with 100 accounts.

For people that didn't know this I can share my thoughts on using proxies.
There is different levels of spam marked proxies.
The first level is local. You get captcha trigger on google for example.
The second level is more or less global. They share these spam marked proxies to a list.
I got it triggered on Amazon,Google and Twitter.
Google and Amazon generate captcha.
Twitter generates a phone verification without any option to skip.

This is what my gut tells me is going on behind the scenes.
 
Moved the bot to a virtualbox which means I can finally do other stuff like watching videos, type messages here and plan for other stuff.
I'm up to 20 twitter accounts.
Maybe I can reach 100 today if I'm lucky.
 
This should be interesting for everyone.
I noticed that all my new twitter account creation attempt triggered a phone verification without an option to skip it.
I have to many proxies to believe that is the cause of the problem so I started to investigate the settings in internet explorer.
I was searching for a way to disable flash because I heard that website uses that to make super cookies or cookies that doesn't
get cleaned even if you explicitly tells the browser to clean cookies. I was about to go through the hurt of uninstalling flash when
I found something that felt could have something to do with it. In the setting in internet option->advanced you have something
like use dom storage. DOM which stands for Document Object Model is the structure the java-script machine uses to handle
parsed html. DOM storage is the new fancy pancy trick you get in HTML5 to store data between browser uses.
I was searching for a way to clean it in my macro engine.

This is still in progress but I found this interesting article for you. So if you are get lots of phone verification triggers you should
disable DOM storage.

BTW if you have a link to test if super cookies is still used I would appreciate you could share it.
Cheers
 
I can't believe how much attention the original post gets when it is so vague.
 
Hmm the problem still persists for me. I thought it was due to super cookies but now phone verification is triggered again.
I think every time I restarted my application it started to work again but only for while.
I need to monitor what is happening in the data cache folder when I call clearcache() funtion.
 
Things are running smoothly now. I have about 45 accounts running. I have no clue how many followers I collected but I will create a counter when I loop through each account and I will keep you updated.
My biggest worries is that the tweets aren't good enough. I try to make sure each tweet have a picture.
I actually never use twitter for personal use so I have no experience in what a good tweet looks like. Yeah I know it should be presented in such way that it engages people but I don't think I'm very good at that. I rely solely that the different services provide me with that sort of content.
 
I have over 70 twitter accounts right now. The new account creations are slowing down. I think this is because the proxies has been previously used by somebody else to create twitter accounts. I don't have another explanation. Sometimes it works but mostly it fails.
 
I finally broke the 100 twitter account goal. I need a couple of extra because in case some of them where fished up.

When I started I had over 700 gmail accounts and my script is checking each of them to see if they are locked.
So now I have ended up with 400 working gmail accounts. How they get locked is a mystery to me.
I did some check on a couple of the twitter accounts and most of them have a couple of followers so hopefully it can make me some money further on.

The awesome thing about this way of making money is that I can give a fck about Google.

So what are you doing exactly?
You are registering twitters and set-up rss->twitter.
Do you use bots for other things (follow/unfollow/retweet) ?
Are all the accounts on the same niche?
What's the plan?

Yes I do all those things except unfollow and retweet.
For all twitter accounts I have rss feeds with engaging content and niched content based on amazon products.
I pick a random amazon product link found on google. I then extract the keywords and the categories.
Do an extra look up on adwords keyword tool. Then I fetch niche'd feeds based on those keywords.
Everything is automatic right now so I can leave it on over night while I sleep.
 
Seems like a good journal Natts, and it's good to see you know how to develop your own tools in-house.
 
I have 120 twitter accounts and over 400 gmail addresses so I think I can create a couple of more when time comes.
Now it is time to create a simple script that loop through each twitter account and call the script that will follow people.
As of now when each account is created I follow 50 people automatically. Now I will stop the account creation process
and just do follow again.
I think 120 accounts will be done within a day. I have no clue how long time it will take for one loop of all accounts.
Remember I only do follow right now and I am about to write support for an unfollow procedure. Note that at least 3
days needs to pass before we can unfollow people. This has been mentioned several times in various threads. I have
a time field attached to each follow data entry. I already have support for this code.
 
Does anyone know how new followers are sorted?
Newest on top, bottom or alphabetic?
 
I was working the whole night until about 6 a clock in the morning. I wanted to have the machine work while I was sleeping and I wasn't finished until that time. What I did was finished the script for unfollowing people. I also added a script to extract the number of followers that I had to save that value from each account to a list. The list is not finished yet.
Anyway I have a mix of 0-6 followers on each account and of course they are dropping down the younger the account is.
I will get back to you to give you a report on how many followers I have collected.
 
Accounts: Over 100 accounts
Followers: 359

Follow rate is very slow but now I can concentrate on adding approx 50 a day to each account now that I'm finished creating accounts. For 3 days I collected over 100 people on each account that I follow and then I start the unfollow process.
When I know all accounts is over one week old I know I can increase the follow rate but I wouldn't increase it dramatically and this is to stay under the radar.
The monetizing process will be added when I have over 100000 followers. (It will take weeks I believe)

The robot is working on its own now. I can eat, sleep, fart, pick my nose or what ever I want and my robot wife do the social media stuff that I taught her to do and she loves it. I know she will not leave me because she loves that I shut the fuck up and let her work. :p

Followers: 445

Followers were collected more than 8 hours ago and I'm sure I have even more but the script is sleeping until it is time to work again and then I get a new update on the number of followers.

Implemented support to add small comments on each account so that they look more natural.
Implemented a more controllable way to limit follow and unfollow.
Updated fix to potential problem when there is more followers than the page displays. (If there is 20 followers but the page only display 10). I need to scan all pages to protect my followers from being unfollowed.

Right now the script need to sleep for very long time until it can follow people again. I have no problem running 120 accounts and it takes maybe 6 hours to loop them. I'n not running multiple threads and I don't see why I would need it right now.

When I have 100000 followers I think I have enough to do personal engagement and see what people like through statistical analysis. I think that would help me develop better skills to present people with a format that attracts customers. I never had that opportunity before because I engaged with black hat crap sites and to few visitors.
 
Followers: 772
Slight increase of follow actions because I have a few accounts that are over a week old.

Created an update script because the feeds were posted way to often.
Now 5 feeds with span of 6, 12 and 24 hours depending on feed.
