How (Not) to Get Banned from LinkedIn
For anyone who's been following Marc Freedman's roller-coaster with LinkedIn's management, he's just published his guide for Active Networkers.
As a guide on what NOT to do (unless you want to get banned) it pretty much covers everything and is worthwhile reading for anyone looking to grow their LinkedIn network by connecting with strangers (which, of course, you're not supposed to do)
For those who don't know, Marc runs the DallasBlue network and is the self-proclaimed LinkInDaddy.
Marc's had a few run-ins with the LinkedIn Privacy Police recently but he's now fully restored back to his former glory with 16,000+ connections.
To me, the lesson to learn here is that whilst people may want to connect with you to get greater visibility and access to the LinkedIn network, it doesn't mean that they want you to send them endless profile updates or put them on a mailing list.

I would say that is the right conclusion, Dave.
FYI: Marc Freedman seems to have ragined regained his past glory, but in fact has not. He is not reacheble through page 1 of LinkedIn user's sorted by number of connections...
No one's really care, now that you can't see connections number when there are more than 500.

Well spotted, Eric. They guys at TopLinked.com spotted that too...

btw, I enjoyed your blog how many linkedin connections are worth having. Seemed to prompt quite a discussion on the groups :-)
