A few years ago, I was really fed up with all the spam I was receiving. I’m not sure how many emails I received in my inbox every single day, but it was a few hundred. It didn’t take a lot of time, but enough for me to get quite frustrated. The reason I got frustrated was that it happened every single day.

I’ve been using Spam Arrest for a few years now, and I’m receiving close to zero spam.

They have some awesome statistics. I’ve received more than 101.000 messages, and close to 54.000 of them have been classified as spam. Check the stats below.

More than 50% of all the emails I’ve received was classified as spam, no wonder I was frustrated when I had to delete hundreds of emails every single day.

Easy to set up

It’s easy to set up. Just add some information to your Spam Arrest account, and add the new Spam Arrest information to your email account. It takes a few minutes, and it starts working straight away.

How Spam Arrest works

You have one white list of people you want to receive emails from (like your contacts). You have one blacklist of people you don’t want to receive emails from. When people that’s not on either of the lists sends you an email, they’ll get a message in return, asking them to confirm their email address by entering a captcha (random letters and numbers). When they enter it, they’ll never get the message again, and all their new emails to you will be sent directly to your inbox. If they don’t enter the captcha, you won’t receive the email.

All the automated spam messages will be stopped. If a few people sends you messages that you don’t want to receive, you can still block them even though they’ve entered the captcha. Just add them to your blacklist.

The free trial

I tried the free trial of Spam Arrest more than 2 years ago. Since then I’ve been a loyal member, and I probably will be for many years a head. It’s a real time saver and they have awesome support.

I have been using Tweet Adder for about a week. I bought it on May 29, but I didn’t really start using it before the day after. So far, I have an incredible story to tell you.

I never spam

I’m not one of those guys that will try to spam Twitter, or try to get thousands of new followers in just a few days. I enjoy quality, and I try my best to keep my Twitter experience a good one. I’m not testing Twitter, in order to see how I can exploit the system before I get suspended.

I’m only using one account, even though I know that I probably should use several (one for personal stuff, one for business, maybe even one for each of my blogs). So, that being said, I was a little sceptical when I bought Tweet Adder, and I was unsure how I was going to use it, in order not to become yet another spammer.

So, let me tell you how my experience with Tweet Adder have been.

For Windows and Mac

The reason I bought Tweet Adder in the first place, and not one of the other similar Twitter software (like Hummingbird) was due to the fact that I can use Tweet Adder on both a PC and a Mac. This is the first Twitter software I have found that I can use on my MacBook.

Testimonials

Before buying it, I searched google for testimonials. I even asked people on discussion forums what they thought of Tweet Adder. All the information I gathered were great feedback, not one negative response.

How I am using Tweet Adder

The reason I am using Tweet Adder, and the reason I am so incredibly satisfied with this software, is because it’s really easy to find targeted followers. I do it, by first finding targeted people to follow, and when I find the right people to follow, usually, they follow me back.

For instance, I am following people who are interested in Internet Marketing. I have specified that I want to follow people who are using “Internet Marketing” as a keyword in their tweets, and/or as part of their profile (bio) on Twitter. I am also using several other keywords related to my interests.

This is a really powerful feature. I’m only looking for targeted followers.

What I am not using (but could be using)

I am only using Tweet Adder to get targeted followers, but I could also be using the software to send direct messages to all my followers, or send tweets at specific times. Since I live in Norway, I could send tweets while I’m sleeping, and most of my followers are online (they live in the US). It’s a powerful feature, but I haven’t used it yet.

I can also specify Tweet Adder to do some automated tasks every time I log in, or at a specific time every single day. For instance, I could unfollow (as many people as I want) at a specific time, automatic follow users, or automatic send a message to all my followers.

Results

As I wrote earlier, I’ve been using Tweet Adder for about a week. And I am not a spammer, so I’ve just been adding a few followers every single day (instead of hundreds). During a week, I have close to 300 new targeted followers at Twitter. And, I’ve spent no more than 20 minutes during the week to get all the followers. Most of the stuff is done by the pust of a single button.

If I wanted to, I could probably have added an extra thousand followers in a week. To me, 300 new targeted followers a week, is more than enough.

Screenshots

I have added a few screenshots from when I first started using Tweet Adder. At that time, I had 1765 followers, now as I am writing this, I have more than 2000.

Software updates

It’s been an interesting week. During the week I’ve received five updates of Tweet Adder. The company behind the software are working to keep it at the top, as the number one software for Twitter promotion and marketing. I think they are doing an awesome job.

Summary

To me, Tweet Adder is the perfect Twitter companion. It’s easy to use, yet extremely powerful. Follow my progress on Twitter and you’ll understand what I’m talking about.
