How do I get Twitter to suggest my account to other users?

• Twitter's staff does not editorialize which users show up in suggestions. 
• Twitter search uses an algorithm that determines highly personalized suggestions based on the accounts you currently follow, the accounts followed by the users you have chosen to follow, and how other users express interest in Tweets sent from these accounts.
