LEARN HOW TO AVOID GETTING TWITTER SLAPPED !
You've spent days, perhaps weeks tweaking and tuning and tweeting
and just when you think you are finally "there" you suddenly find
yourself GONE ! Yes, your Twitter account has been replaced with a
nasty SUSPENDED message and your viewers are greeted by one of
Twitter's sentinels.. "Who goes there ?" asks the Twitter owl...

with just ads, and very little if any content. You can still see some
of that going on today. Google then started putting some hefty
restrictions on both Adwords advertisers and Adsense publishers. So

found the well had dried.
