    Hmmm I may be going to disagree with myself now haha :rotfl::rotfl:

    Having tried just posting the retweet link and having the company name showing, most of the ones have been too short for me to post.

    & when searching for a Twitter competition I search by the page, not the retweet. There also could be different retweets, so this could mean there are more dupes.

    Having the two links helps when you have Twitter competitions where the end date/time is ?

    If you just have the RT then the competition winner can have been announced already but unless you check their profile you won't know.

    I've done this myself, RT'd a link and then found out it was two hours too late.

    I would say 99% of comps I post are Twitter comps, if you post company page it comes up in a search so you can avoid duping. If you only post the RT link and the company have more than 1 RT link (as in they have 10 comp tweets for example), I can search for the one I have found which may be tweet A, but someone else may have posted tweet B, so if i search it won't show on here so I repost and it's a dupe.
    If you put company Twitter page in as a first link, it shows on a search and the post for the most part won't be duped xx
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.
