Safety Checklist

Pay attention to the following items to make sure your LinkedIn account is secure.

Connection Requests / Invitations

  • Do not have too many pending invitation requests here
    • The more pending invitation requests you have, the more people have the option to click ignore on your invitation
    • LinkedIn punishes you, if too many contacts ignore you
    • To keep the risk low, we recommend withdrawing all pending invitations older than 7 days ➔ CompLeadly Feature can do that for you LINK
    • You should slowly increase the number of daily withdrawals from 7, 11, ....to 25 
  • Do not use invites for acquisition purposes. This means: No pitches, offers or job vacancies in an invitation request message.
  • If you receive connection requests yourself, accept a maximum of 5 requests per day if they are several days old. This is because if you're sending connection requests with CompLeadly for days without accepting any yourself, it might appear suspicious to LinkedIn.

LinkedIn Account access

  • Don't be active on LinkedIn with multiple computers or your cell phone. If CompLeadly is running, you should not be active on LinkedIn otherwise!
  • Try to be on LinkedIn exclusively with an IP from one location. If LinkedIn sees a login in Munich today and then one in Hamburg every day, you will get a message from LinkedIn. This happens if you use an external server, for example.
    • Also, if you have a login from abroad, that may seem odd to LinkedIn.
  • Do not use multiple LinkedIn profiles on one computer!
  • Do not be active with CompLeadly 24h permanently (e.g. because of exports etc.). Especially at night this is considered as unusual activities by LinkedIn.

Your LinkedIn Profile

  • If you have a LinkedIn Free membership and do more than just browse LinkedIn and add a few colleagues, LinkedIn doesn't like it.

We can therefore recommend Sales Navigator for $10 or offer it completely free. Look in CompLeadly under
Buy&Subscripe ➔ Sales Navigator Deals

Behavior on LinkedIn

  • LinkedIn primarily monitors abrupt changes in behavior patterns. Therefore, start slowly with the number of visits, messages, invites, etc. Increasing too quickly leads to unusual behavior. ➔ Recommended number

If you have no or less activity on LinkedIn than usual for three days in a row, you must also reduce the number per day for the functions.

Texts and topics

  • Invitation messages, InMail or Opener messages are increasingly reported as SPAM and you will be restricted from LinkedIn if they have the following content:
    • Loans
    • Investments/Shares
    • Bank/money transactions
    • Investments
    • Passive income/cryptocurrency
    • Taxes
    • Medicine, medical equipment
    • Diseases, healing
    • Openers or InMail texts that are longer than 10 seconds to read
    • specific price offers
    • commercial or advertising messages
    • ⤴More topics
 

What LinkedIn explicitly pays attention to

  • Accessing your LinkedIn account from another country (e.g., while traveling, on business trips, etc.)
  • Someone else accessing your LinkedIn account (e.g., assistant, virtual assistant, etc.)
  • Using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) or a proxy server
  • Initiating a conversation through LinkedIn Messaging with a large group or a significant number of connections
  • Sending out a large number of invitations
  • Recently updating your LinkedIn profile
