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.
I would love to get banned from Facebook, I'm sick of it and wish my friends would just get a life - thanks for the tips.
I am very happy with my Facebook marketing, it is working well and I create a brand awareness faster than any other community! Their Ads are not working well for me and PPC is too high! I got an email from them for misusing Facebook sending the same message (no more than 20 times), so be careful, they can track if you use same words or titles. Cheers Kal
oh, thank you. I didnt know that would happen. I have seen people have been spamming the walls on facebook.. This would be a warning for us also
making it natural is always the best choice of doing business. It also give good reputation to your product. I stick on this strategy specially when working with my product?
Facebook only allows one account. Read their TOS. Having more than one will most certainly get you banned. I had to block all of the stupid apps. Who has the time for all that crap?
uhhh, the first thing that comes to mind is - do not spam. If your going to promote your business on facebook, then offer quality information. Everything listed above is spamming. People, use your gray matter between your ears for something besides a hat rack. Think about what your doing. If you post quality, home made videos, and post quality articles, people will find you. The only reason to spam is if you offer spam.
thanks for these tips...i didn't know a few of them. I havent been banned before and really dont want to anytime in future.
"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 ." Does this mean 4-5 duplicate accounts or 4-5 different accounts from the same IP?
It means creating different profiles from same IP address.. I had once posted some content on 5-6 groups but was warned that it looked like a spam act.. So, I was not allowed to continue posting on wall..
Are you able to send Fan requests through Facebook if you know the users email? We just started ours, and are looking for fans! Great post! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dublin-CA/JVF-Consulting-LLC/185308965569
