Sign into your account9 Ways to Avoid Getting "Locked Up" in Facebook’s Jail
January 26 2015
According to ActiveRain and Properties Online, 93% of social media traffic for Realtors comes from Facebook. So actively posting links to drive users back to your site, sending out Facebook messages to a group of your past clients and connecting with people who may be outside of your normal group of "connections" seems like standard practice right?
Well, if you're doing any of these activities on a regular basis, then you could end up landing in "Facebook Jail." What is Facebook Jail? For a lack of better words, if you're in "jail," Facebook can keep you from posting any links to your websites, blogs and any other site associated with your business anywhere on the platform. What you may find even more astonishing is that it can lead to your Facebook account being deleted entirely.
Here are nine ways to avoid getting "locked up" by staying in the good graces of the fine folks at Facebook.
1. Never create a personal account using your business name
Creating a personal account for "Joe Smith Realty" so that you can post in groups and drive additional exposure to your business may seem harmless, but it's a big no-no in the eyes of Facebook. Profiles and timelines are specifically for real people, not for businesses. If you want to tell people about your business using your personal page, include a link to your website in the "About" section of your profile.
