Twitter one link or two?

Options
With follow and retweet comps some posters add one link to do both, others add one link to follow and a second link to retweet.

When two links are used I tend to just open the retweet which allows you to follow as well as retweet.

Does it make any diff?

Thanks

    I would prefer just the Retweet link, much quicker & easier :rotfl:

    Although I am sure ages ago there was a debate and people wanted both, which is why I post both, hhmmmm

  • I also just prefer the retweet link and follow via that.

  • I don't think it makes a difference to winning blu.

    I also follow and retweet from the retweet link and have won x

  • Yep, just one link is used by me so if people want to save time it's fine with me :)

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx

    For me, it's perfick. Makes it so quick and easy that I feel a little guilty - don't ask why. I'm good at guilt :D

    I've been meaning to ask about this for sooooo long - duh.

    Thanks guys

  • I prefer two separate links. One to the main twitter page and one for the retweet.

    Mainly because in a lot of cases it is not clear when a twitter comp is ending and you could be following and retweeting a comp that has already finished.
    Landing on the main page you can quickly scan to see it a winner has been announced and more than likely there will be a more recent tweet for you to re-tweet as well.

    Interesting. It's helpful to at least understand why someone would prefer it that way.

    I don't think I would worry about if a comp had finished. In fact, I did one today that finished at 12. I was about 20 mins late, but thought stuff it, I'll try my luck. I think I would waste more time by opening 2 links per comp than I would by tweeting the occasional comp that was over. But each to their own :)
