GHOST FOLLOWERS
Ghost followers are those who are either inactive or don’t engage with you. They could be
- Lurkers (People you know and those you don’t know)
- Secondly, users who were previously active but no longer
- Thirdly, users are only interested in being followed
- Users known as bots
Ghost followers offer you no real value other than numbers. It would be better to remove such persons; removing such followers reflect your real engagement level on the site. There are times when one may find it difficult to differentiate ghost followers from those actively engaging him, the use of the Iconosquare can help in resolving such.
