I am very frustrated. I have been a member of this community since 2017. When I first joined I visited the page which discussed the site's Affiliate Program. I have tried and tried and tried to follow the instructions for sharing affiliate links. No matter what I do, Twitter gives me the same response. It says the links "looks suspicious", might be "malicious", appears to be "automate", and I can't post it!!
I have tried with and without the "a" in the URL. I get the same message no matter what! WHY???

Bit.ly might work, but I don't really share affiliate links on Twitter so I can't say if it will actually work or not.
There are plenty of other link shorteners out there in case Bit.ly is flagged on Twitter.
Here are a few I found:
- Rebrandly.com
- Tinyurl.com
- Tiny.cc
- Livechatinc.com/url-shortener/ (currently being fixed)
- Is.gd
- Soo.gd
- Clicky.me (premium service)
- Bl.ink (premium service)
Try these out and see if you can get your links posted. I'm not sure if Twitter will go through the link to see what the ending page is, so you might need to set it as nofollow somehow so the spiders don't go through it. I don't know if any of the services above allow the links to be set to nofollow, so just try them all out lol.
Another reason it could be getting flagged is because of the domain itself. If this is the case then you need to wait until the admins of this network contact the twitter gods to see if they can whitelist this domain so you can keep posting.
Another way around this is to publish links that aim at your own website, but the page they're posted to is a redirect through your affiliate link so the tracking cookie still gets placed. This worked well a few years ago but I'm not sure if this still works, but it's worth trying out.
And if both of these methods fail on their own, combine them Have you tried any sort of link shorteners?
