How to Become a Suggested User on Twitter

Completing your Twitter profile can increase your chances of becoming a suggested user.

Becoming a "Suggested User" on the Twitter micro-blogging site is an effective way to boost your number of followers. Twitter displays suggested users in the "Who to Follow" section on each user's Twitter homepage. Although there's no way to automatically become a suggested user on Twitter, user profile information is an important element of the algorithm that Twitter uses to select and display suggested users. Users should complete their Twitter profiles to increase the chances of becoming a suggested user.

Instructions

1. Log in to your Twitter account.

2. Click the "Profile" link in the top navigation menu.

3. Click the "Edit Your Profile" link in the main page below your Twitter username.

4. Type your full name into the "Name" input field and your location into the "Location" input field. Enter the Uniform Resource Locator address for your personal website or blog into the "Web" input field, if you have one. Add details about yourself into the "Bio" input box. Twitter only allows you to describe yourself in 160 characters, so write concisely but include as much information as possible.

5. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the screen. This saves your edited profile information.

Tips & Warnings

• Regular Tweeting and following other users on Twitter also helps the site to understand your interests, and this can influence your suggested user status.
