Linked users have become very alert recently as LinkedIn has blocked many users’ accounts and flagged many of them as spam.
Why?
It’s because the new LinkedIn algorithm is very smart, and it can easily detect spam. Many people got their accounts blocked due to using unreliable and unsafe LinkedIn automation tools.
Why LinkedIn Blocked My Account?
This is the question most users ask when their account gets blocked. One reason why LinkedIn has become active recently is that it has become the largest transparent professional network and wants to keep things clear for its users.
Some of the major reason why LinkedIn might send you a warning or block your account are:
1. Too many page views
2. Sending thousands of connect requests in a short time
3. Sending the same old templated messages
4. Getting your account flagged many times
5. Having a low acceptance and response rate
6. Running a hacked LinkedIn account
Many people who use unreliable automation tools (especially chrome extensions) send thousands of connect requests and templated messages get their account blocked. Such things lie on the line of unacceptable behavior for LinkedIn.
What to do when your account gets blocked?
First of all, don’t panic.
You made some mistakes and you’re going to learn from them. No doubt that losing a well-established account is a big deal, but you can establish a new account and expand your network with just a little effort.
Here is what you can do:
1. Start small
Most of the marketers commit the same mistake that they want to develop a large network over the night. They use the best automation tools and run campaigns to send thousands of connect requests and messages in just one go. This way, no automation tool will work and you’ll always end up with account restriction and blockade.
Remember: LinkedIn automation tools work great only when you use them with a disciplined approach.
The best way to establish and run your LinkedIn account safely is by starting small. Set a small daily limit and increase it once your account is established.
2. Choose the right automation tools
Recently, LinkedIn blocked the account of any users who were using a chrome extension. Such tools prospect every single account that comes into their way.

3. Don’t send templates messages
If you’re a B2B marketer and want prospects to respond to your connect requests, start sending personalized notes and messages.
Times have changed and customers have become the decisive entity. You must send them personalized messages if you don’t want to get your account flagged as spam.
