Tips to avoid suspicious activity<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

LinkedIn sets daily and weekly limits (officially unknown) on actions like viewing or following profiles, sending connection requests and messages. Exceeding limits or showing a sudden increase in activity can be suspicious to LinkedIn\u2019s systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

In some cases, this leads to temporary account restrictions or bans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Common reasons why LinkedIn accounts get blocked<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s look at why your LinkedIn can be blocked or restricted, so you can avoid risky behaviors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason 1: LinkedIn automation and manual actions at the same time<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you have an active campaign while also manually connecting with leads using the same account, LinkedIn may detect it as suspicious activity. Since Snov.io automation simulates real actions and counts toward your daily limits, combining it with manual outreach can push your account over LinkedIn\u2019s limits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recommendation:<\/b> At times when your LinkedIn campaign is active, limit manual activity in your profile or don\u2019t do it all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason 2: Low account SSI score<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Social Selling Index (SSI) is one of LinkedIn\u2019s key metrics. LinkedIn\u2019s algorithm uses your SSI to judge how trustworthy and valuable your profile is to other users.<\/p>\n

A low SSI score and doing too many actions in a short time may lead to your account restriction. <\/span>To avoid getting blocked, your account needs to develop a good reputation on LinkedIn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
