How to avoid my twitter account getting suspended?


I am going to promote my product affiliate website through twitter, Where my activities are getting all the tweets based on some keywords(ex: Red shoe). Then ill reply to the tweet like "please check my link http://www.affliateexample.com/redshoe". Im having huge tweet data so planning to execute a cron file to reply all these tweets through my tweet application(php) . Is that a right way to do this work or this will get suspend my twitter account. Please advise on this...


Solution

  • No, what you're doing is considered spam by both the ToS (1, 2) and the users. Stop doing it.

    For the record, I always report accounts that automatically mention me based on keywords. With me a thousand others. I think it's safe to assume that even if your account wouldn't get flagged automatically, enough users will click the report button for your account to get suspended.

    Full disclosure: I work for Twitter in The Netherlands, as an internationalization moderator
