I recently discovered I was “invisible” on Twitter. It began when I did a few searches on myself.
When I did a search for Carolyn Wilman, I only found the personal account I set up originally and have since deleted. I then did a search for Contest Queen, and I was not found at all.
I then performed hashtag searches. If I tweeted something with a # (hashtag) and then did a search on that hashtag, such as #WIN, #contest or #sweepstakes, my tweet does not appear.
Now, this issue is important because, if you are on Twitter, and are entering Twitter-based contests, ensure you do these searches for yourself, because if you too are “invisible”, depending on how the contest is setup, your hashtag entries will not appear or be counted/entered.
If you discover you are “invisible”, you must file your issue with Twitter Support to get it resolved. It may take several weeks.
If you are following me on Twitter (@ContestQueen) please be kind enough to retweet (RT) a few of my tweets, so more people are aware of me. Thank you.

Nice info.Follow your tweet!
I retweet all the time but honestly think it is a waste of time wtih these types of contests!!
Like you, I am invisible. I hadn’t done a search for myself until I read your blog then, of course, I couldn’t find myself anywhere either. I was wondering why my followers were not increasing; now I know.
