A Quick 1-Min Twitter Audit to Find Your Real Followers

. 2 min read

Gauging your followers once in a while is a good way to know who you actually follow. Twitter removed more than 70 million fake accounts last year as an attempt to cleanse Twitter of false accounts. Even then, there’s a good probability of you following fake/bots/spam Twitter accounts. A quick Twitter audit can help you find your real followers.

A good Twitter audit would involve analyzing all the accounts you follow and looking for:

  • Bots/Fake Twitter accounts:

Accounts that have been created by third-party apps as bot accounts to increase unreal activity on the platform. These accounts do not belong to any real person and have no actual engagement or connection with any Twitter account.

  • Inactive accounts:

Inactive accounts are the Twitter accounts that have been created by users who don’t use it anymore. According to stats, out of 1.3 billion Twitter accounts, 391 million accounts have 0 followers. Such accounts are an example of inactive accounts who create accounts but don’t follow, don’t tweet, and end up with no followers.

  • Eggheads:

Eggheads are Twitter accounts with no profile picture. These accounts are often considered as suspicious accounts because real people prefer to add a profile picture to their Twitter accounts.

Spotting these Twitter accounts can be very helpful as these are non-interactive accounts and following them is not beneficial to you.

In this article, we will look at the quickest way to perform your Twitter audit.
