The same rules of the internet apply here:

If your twitter account represents a useful service or an interesting content or a celebrity, you will naturally have lots of followers. It's only about providing useful content and stuff that adds values to people's daily lives. Don't get obsessed by the number of followers, just concentrate on the content and it will grow by itself.

The worst thing you can do is to spam-follow lots of twitterers. :)

I agree with "3adoola", don't get obsessed with the number of followers! be yourself and Tweet beneficial tweets.

Also following people that share some interests with you, will make them follow you back most probably!

I agree with both.. the simple rule of Quality over Quantity here... having many followers won't serve you much going down the line. It used to be a sign of some Twitter credibility but not anymore.

You're better off focusing on connecting and engaging with influencers of your product and service, people who appreciate it will promote it and so forth.

Also, don't forget you may get listed by many users who don't actually follow you... how many lists you appear on has also become somewhat of a sign of Twitter credibility.

يمكنك الحصول على عدد أكبر من المتتبعين بتقديم ما يدفعهم للتتبع. مثل محتوى مفيد، في حالة الحساب الشخصية أو حسومات عن المنتجات في حالة الحساب التجاري.

لكن ليس يهم عدد المتتعبين قدر ما يهم نوعية المتتبعين. وكلما كان المتتبع يتابع عددا أقل من الأعضاء كلما كانت فائدته لك أكبر، لأن تركيزه سيكون أكبر.

ببساطة، ابحثي عن من يشاطرك اهتماماتك وابدئي في تتبعه. هذه القائمة بداية جيدة: Suggestions for users to follow on Twitter?

يمكنك أيضا التنويه عن حساب تويتر خاصتك في مدونتك، في المواقع الاجتماعية الأخرى وفي توقيع البريد الالكتروني وبطاقات الزيارة.

اولا عليك تحيد القطاع المستهدف مثلا المصممين او المدونيين او غيرها ثاثيا البحث عن القوائم التي تتبع الفئة المحددة ثالثا تتبع الافراد الذين يتبعون القوائم ذات العلاقة انصح بتجنب تتبع الاشخاص بشكل عشوائي واخيرا انشاء عدد من القوائم الخاصة بك لتنظيم المتابعين

Try to add value to your network and make it worthwhile for them to listen. Don't over do it, don't over Re-Tweet, and please don't tweet about waking up, going to sleep, feeling hungry, or about your cat..unless you post cute pictures of it :)
