I will agree that one can STILL get new followers even while being 'banned' from the search and or find features, AND I look at those followers as BETTER followers....
To gain followers AND not be in search it means your (new) followers hunted your ass down lol
IF you find yourself in the "search ban boat" here are a few tricks to keep raising your numbers:
(1) Get ppl to reply to you or retweet your posts THOSE WILL appear in search UNLESS the ppl who reply or retweet you are also "banned"
(2) Take part in "Follow Friday" (make a tweet telling ppl to follow a few of your 'friends') IE: #FF @name1 @name2 @name3 @name4 @name5
If those ppl see you do that, there is a GREAT chance they will return the favor for you!
(3) go to the search page and type in something relevant to your twitter account, and then reply to those results, you will normally get at least a 25% follow return, and about 50% of the people will reply to you (thus showing your name to their followers)
(4) link your twitter on as many searchable places as you can (DUH!)
(5) most importantly TURN ON YOUR AUTO FOLLOW! IE ANYTIME someone follows you you automatically follow them back (80% of the gfy ppl are not doing this lol)
(6) Setup an Auto DM for new followers, (you can rotate diff messages too) make it personable, and if you want even include a link back to your site/s
That's it for now, can't give you ALL my secrets lol
