Is Your Twitter Background Up to Snuff?
by Timothy Caron

Hey Guy’s and Gal’s, we all know by now that more and more businesses are taking Twitter to a whole new level, by using Twitter to promote there online and offline businesses. And, here at Twitterwatchdog it’s no different. A matter of fact we encourage you to use Twitter to help Build, Grow and Monetize your business.

In a recent post, I spoke about using Twitter backgrounds to help build and promote your brand on Twitter and we also gave you a few Free Twitter Backgrounds during the holiday season. But did you know that there are over 12,600,000 search results just for the search term “custom twitter backgrounds”?

There are literally thousands of website that can show you how to create your own custom twitter background or you can even download free twitter backgrounds.

If you want a Twitter Background that truly captures the essence of your business, you can expect to pay anywhere from $39.95 to $129.97, now if you ask me that’s a lot of Moo-la! But if you want to attract more quality customers, those that want to buy what you have to offer, then you will have to make a small investment to make this happen.

Below are a few of the website I’d like you to check out (if you haven’t already) that offer a fantastic array of Free and Custom Twitter Backgrounds.

1) Colour Lovers is an excellent place to start if you want to make your own tiling background patterns. They also offer palettes that will help you pick colors that go well together so your Twitter page doesn’t look like you picked the colors with your eyes closed or let your 3-year old do it for you.

2) Twitter Patterns is another great place to find patterns for your tiled background.

3) On The Social Identities web site there are royalty-free backgrounds which you are welcome to use or that might give you some ideas. All of the photographs they use to make these backgrounds are either royalty-free or published under the Creative Commons http://creativecommons.org/ license and used with permission.

And last but not least we can custom design your Twitter experience for you too, simply contact Al or Skeeter and they will point you in the right direction.

Until next time, have a wonderful day

Your Twitter account could get suspended for several different reasons.

You have worked to hard branding yourself on Twitter and building up your Twitter followers to have it suspended. Take a look at the list below and make sure you avoid these costly mistakes at all cost.

User Abuse: When a large number of people block the profile or write in with spam complaints to Twitter. Sending out two many tweets in a short time with links or the same tweet in a short time will cause people to block or report you for spam.

Aggressive following: Using programs out there that claim to get you 1000’s of follow in just days could get you suspended. Twitter will only allow you to follow so many people a day and if you reach this limit day after day Twitter looks at this as aggressive following and may suspend your account. Just remember quality is better then quantity.

Misuse of the reply feature: I haven’t heard of anyone getting suspended for this but it’s on the list of things not to do. There are 3rd party tools that let you auto reply to all of your @replies and this would be considered misuse of the reply feature.

Updates consist of duplicate links and/or text: Sending out the same tweet over and over again can get you suspended. Twitter is constantly changing it’s API to try and keep spamming under control. Twitter will no longer allow you to send out the same tweet back to back.

Stealing: Updates poached from others’ timelines, passed off as one’s own. Putting your own spin on a tweet will keep you safe. The other day someone retweeted a quote that I like to send out and then they placed their link at the end of my tweet to a sales page, this is a no no.

Technical Abuse: Updates consist of links pointing to phishing sites, malware, or other harmful material. This is a problem on every known social site on the Internet.

Multiple Accounts: When a large number of accounts is created in a short amount of time will throw up a red flag with Twitter. You can have more then one account just don’t create several in a short time. Don’t send out the same tweet from multiple accounts either.

Spam: When an account is identified as belonging to a spam cluster. When you send out the same tweet from different tweet or even tweet that are closely related will be picked up on Twitter’s radar as a spam cluster.

10 Easy Steps with training videos to keep your Twitter account safe.
