A Personal and Real Twitter Account Will Not Be Closed

It doesn’t matter if your main purpose when using Twitter is to market a product or a service — that’s still does not constitute an excuse for being so careless in your tweeting that you end up stirring up the ire of powerful official Twitter Account Closers. In plainer terms, even if your marketing is not ever going to boast the most personal of outreach methods, you can still keep said methods in line with accepted Twitter rules. Doing so is actually very important because it will ensure that your account is not permanently shut down.

First words from the wise when engaging in Twitter marketing: Do not become a transgressor of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The papery bulk was made official law in 1998 and should continue to be respected until through due process it is changed. Include yourself among its line touter and you will be doing much towards your account not being closed.

Another thing to be aware of is that Twitter does not look too kindly on accounts that have many duplicate posts or updates. Massive duplication is interpreted as spam, so avoid posting the same thing more than once. Occasional duplicate posts will not shut you down, but if the duplication is massive, then you probably will be.

Last few words from those in the know: Do not engage in massive Following or Unfollowing sessions. Both acts are frowned upon by Twitter officials; and, again, they’re related to spamming activities. Next, you also want to sidestep posting links all by their lonely selves. If you need many links up on your account, include them but lace them with personal touches. These can be comments about anything, really, just demonstrate that it is a person that’s writing the tweet, not some inanimate machine.

Marketing techniques can sometimes come perilously close to being taken for spamming activity. Spam in the bane of the web so it makes sense for Twitter to be on the lookout for it. Don’t get caught up in these crosshairs. You’ll keep your account soundly tweeting by abiding by the aforementioned points. Keep your tweets personal and real. Much luck!
