Whats a safe number to follow/unfollow on Twitter without getting banned?

    I've heard some people say they've gotten banned from following/unfollowing 300/day.

    I've heard others say that the magic number is 250 a day to fall below twitters limit radar.

    What are some successful follow/unfollow numbers that you abide by to keep your account from getting banned.

    I have also read that massive following and unfollow may result to banning of accounts in twitter. I guess it is much better to do this in certain manner wherein its acceptable . Excessive unfollow and following may look like spam to twitter

    I have an account with over 6000+ followers and had no problem at all, I feel you should not keep tweeting links all the time it makes it look like spam.

    Follow those who can follow you back. This will solve majority of your problems

    But I think it's better if you check first the profile who follows you and see if he/she is active on twitter before following him/her back

    I don't think you have a limit to amount of people to follow or unfollow per day but the amount of tweet for a period of time. You should just follow the amount of people that can follow back and don't tweet links all the time.

    I have seen several people follow several hundred people at one time and they didn't get banned but I think you have to be smart about it by not spamming and actually tweeting on a consistent basis.

    Maybe you have violated their rules that's why you got banned.

    If you are keeping follow and unfollow on a regular basis, your account would be marked as potential spam. I would recommend you to avoid mass follow or unfollow activity.

    Maximum that I have unfollowed is 150 and I don't do it daily.
