How to get Twitter Verified Account?

Twitter one of the most popularly used social networking site where users get to interact with each other and their beloved celebs. If you are one of them, you must have noticed a "Verified Profile"

badge on profiles of celebrities, popular figures, politicians,etc. With that a natural thought of getting the same Twitter Verified profile badge on your own account comes in your mind, but where to start for that? Without giving any false impressions, It is not easy or a one click form form to be filled for having a chance for this, its a different case.

The basic criteria that Twitter lists in their own help article says ,"Twitter proactively verifies accounts on an ongoing basis to make it easier for users to find who they’re looking for. We concentrate on highly sought users in music, acting, fashion, government, politics, religion, journalism, media, advertising, business, and other key interest areas. We verify business partners from time to time and individuals at high risk of impersonation.

We do not accept requests for verification from the general public. If you fall under one of the above categories and your Twitter account meets our qualifications for verification, we may reach out to you in the future."

Steps to get Twitter verified account

The best way discovered for this very purpose is interlinking of your Twitter account and your own website. Yes in addition to being popular and active, not at all by number of followers, this is a very important criteria. If you happen to have a personal website for you, then you can simply use the Twitter follow button on your website. With that there are more chances of proving your identity and hence qualify for the badge.

I can cay this method would be the best based on the search results shown by Google. This is possible if users link their Google+ profile with their websites and vice-versa and in turn Google awards them with authorship markup in search results. Though it does not get you a verified Google+ account, instantly but yes there are some good chances for that too.
