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.

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.

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.

the ads and click on them to land the target sites. Scam is a form of cheating
