Getting banned on Facebook

Many online marketing companies are rendering Facebook to promote their business and generate traffic to their site. But doing excessive activities can result in getting your profiles banned. Let’s know what “not-to-do” when marketing via Facebook

Creating too many profiles: People generally create 4-5 profiles and send huge friend requests to these profiles. This can lead to getting all the profiles banned at a critical stage because the administrator can track the IP address and hence, ban the account on the charge of spam .

Excessive wall postings: Flooding your friend’s wall with your updates or promotions can prove quite unethical on your terms and lead your profile in getting banned.

Promoting link by aggressive community postings and group joining: Don’t just send similar content links in every community posts. Neither join too many groups as it again counts to spamming.

Sending too many friend requests: Facebook may ban your account if you send more friend requests to different profiles in a single day as it would be considered “marketing” act.

Don’t send repetitive messages: Don’t send same message infinite no. of times. Sending similar mails to your friends or group members will cause your profile to get banned.

Don’t poke many: One main problem faced by many users is that Facebook’s latest application “Poke ‘em” pokes on your behalf. Anyone having Facebook account can poke you and astonishingly, there is no way to customize this application. So, its like getting punishment for a mistake that you have not committed.

Highly active: Remember the old saying-”Slow and steady wins the race”. So, start your activity in a proper manner. Being highly active will also make you a prime suspect in Facebook’s eyes. You are not desperate to get the links..Are you????

Lastly you can even get your account disabled for no reason at all.!!
