for promotion to your fans and followers in a large quantity. Scam means doing
fraud with others and using tricks to dodge others. Both are working in a
negative and bad manner however these are different from each other.
When you have followers on
social sites like twitter and facebook and pinterest and any other site and you
are sending them promotional messages with links then it will be counted as
spam.
They can check the links and
click on them and make purchases so that you can earn some commissions however
if you are doing it too much then you can get rejected and your fans can run
away and also unfollow you as you are sending such messages in large
quantities.
Social sites are using paid
methods so that users can post ads on them. You have to purchase the slots so
that you can show your ads to people. Sending spam messages for promotional
purposes in huge quantities if a bad thing and social sites are blocking such
accounts which are posting links and details about sites so that they can earn
money or commissions.
They have paid methods and
they like users to post ads and pay them so that the interested people can see
the ads and click on them to land the target sites. Scam is a form of cheating
and trick which is used to get access to accounts and money of others. Getting work
done from others and refusing to make payment is also scam.
