When people follow you, do you follow them back?
Do most people follow everyone who follows them? I usually read at least some of their hubs, and if I think it's something I will want to read I follow them. I don't want to follow so many that I can't keep track of them.
When I get a new follower, I always go to their hubs and read one or two and comment as a courtesy. If their writing style is good and subject matter is interesting to me, then I will follow them as well.
Not unless they write hubs that interest me. I truly do like to be an active participant on peoples hubs so if I follow too many people I won't be able to do that. When someone follows me though I always visit their profile and check out their hubs. Even if nothing seems particularly interesting I'll at least read one of their hubs and most of the time I leave feedback.
I usually do. First I check out their profile and read a hub or two.
I don't follow very many people, and that's simply because I like to follow only the ones I am truly interested in. I have never followed anyone just because they followed me, and I don't like Hubbers who do the whole following thing just to gain new followers. So, when someone follows me, I will go to their profile, read it, read a hub or two, and decide whether to follow or not - in most cases I don't follow them back.
If some one follows me, I check his profile and if I find his Hubs are interesting for me, then I follow him.
If I get a "follower" I'll check out their Hubs and if they happen to write about stuff that interests me, then I'll follow them in return. If not, I don't worry about it.
Not necessary, I like to read there bio and hub written by them then I will decide to follow back or not..
I try to follow folks who are following me. If after a bit I find we have little in common as to interests, subjects, etc. I'll unfollow although that is a rarity.
I have wondered this as well, so thanks for asking it. I did have some guilt over not following everyone back as a courtesy. But who has that kind of time?
Not necessarily, for me I will follow someone that I know can give me good ideas. I followed relache just by reading the way she answer questions here. Her ideas and thoughts are very useful.
I will check out their hubs and if the are of interest to me, I will follow them. I don't follow just because they are following me.
if the following hubber writes hubs on interests similar to mine ,i do follow..

Just a quick question, as above, does having followers help your hubs/hubscore?
by weholdthesetruths 13 years ago
I know, odd question. I don't have a LOT of followers, in fact, I have rather few, but in some cases, I have wondered why. I have read over the profiles of a number of my followers, and notice that we share minimal or no interests, our hubs are on different topics, and despite the...

Why do followers follow us, and do not support our work?For the amount of followers, I follow and the comments I revieved something on my hubs ...definitely is not adding..up. so once again why are you following me?

Why do majority of your followers follow you?Ok I know this might sound like a silly question but I am of the opinion that people to choose to follow you because you were following them in the first place.

Before following someone, at least you should read his/her hub or profile. I think, there are many reason rather than his or her beautiful face to follow him/her.
