Sounds like a pretty good return, $1 per fan. Especially if the were truely engaged fans, rather than the fictious fans that it sounds like you could get from these purchasing sites. Thanks for the info!

Have you seen a good response with facebook ads? If you don't mind me asking, what is your average cpc and ctr?

This client is a two man startup that truly has no knowledge of inbound marketing. He first came to me with the facebook fan link and i explained to him these wouldn't be targeted and probably fictitious accounts.

A week later he sends me the twitter link and asked the same question, "If i get 40,000 followers if only 20 of them convert i would cover cost."

So after his determination i figured i shoot the question out to the inbound marketing community that i have grown to trust, and to no surprise they have all agreed. It sounds like i should tell him to invest in facebook ads rather than fake facebook friends

So i have a client that sends me a link once a week about buying followers for social media profiles. Each time i tell him if it seems to good to be true... then its too good to be true!

What are your guys thoughts, experiences, feelings?

Here are a few examples:

Thanks for the input! I haven't had a chance to view their .htaccess file. I am still in the early stages of reviewing their site. I just wasn't sure if their would be a technical reason for them to do this or if it just happened by accident. It sounds like adding a basic robots.txt file would be the appropriate solution.

I've been doing some site analysis for a new SEO client and it has been brought to my attention that their robots.txt file redirects to their homepage. I was wondering:

Is there a benfit to setup your robots.txt file to do this?

Will this effect how their site will get indexed?

Thanks for your response!
