What should I do if the traffic of TikTok is restricted? These 6 tips work!

Douyin’s traffic comes from two aspects. On the one hand, it comes from fans who follow it, and on the other hand, it comes from Douyin’s official push. Once an account is restricted by the official TikTok, it is like a person walking without a leg. Especially for new TikTok players, it is simply a "death sentence".

1. Why are new accounts censored when they first publish works?

First of all, we have to accept the current situation. The dissemination volume of videos is 10 or even 100 times that of pictures and texts! Coupled with the country's control requirements on the dissemination of content, overall, the intensity of Douyin's censorship will become increasingly greater as the platform's influence grows. After testing multiple accounts, the first five works of Douyin will undergo relatively strict review:

1. Used to raise the entry threshold of accounts (to prevent malicious marketing and advertising accounts);

2. Label the creator’s works and accounts;

3. If the content is detected to be original and of high quality, the system will increase exposure after 3 to 5 works, allowing high-quality accounts to stand out more quickly.

Therefore, in the face of the platform's strict review, the first five works must not contain any advertisements or violations, including signatures, nicknames, avatars, and backgrounds. Violations must be strictly controlled.

2. Which illegal operations are likely to lead to flow restriction?

At present, the problem for most of the friends who consult Douyin about traffic restrictions lies here. The following illegal operations may easily lead to account flow restriction:

1) Hard advertising

a. Account nickname, TikTok account, profile picture, signature, homepage background image, and external contact information (such as WeChat, Weibo, QQ, etc.);

b. The video content is obviously a marketing advertisement;

c. WeChat, Weibo, Taobao and other information appear in the video;

d. The product logo, WeChat ID, mobile phone number, or QR code appears in the video for a long time (more than 3 seconds);

e. Watermarks of other platforms, apps and tools appear in the video;

f. Oral advertisements and products;

g. Obvious activities of attracting traffic, selling goods and promoting sales during live broadcasts.

2) Reposting, commenting, liking, and private messaging violations

a. Quickly reply to user comments and private messages in large quantities;

b. The reply message contains personal contact information (WeChat, mobile phone, product name, shopping link, etc.) and product information, as well as uncivilized language and illegal words that have been detected and reported;

c. Frequently like and forward a large number of videos, even before watching the whole video;

d. Insulting or abusing others in comments or private messages;

e. The comment section of one’s own work is filled with a large number of negative comments.

3) Frequent deletion and publication of works

a. Frequently delete published works (if you are not satisfied with the video, you can choose to hide it);

b. Publish works frequently and in large quantities.

4) Transport and pseudo-transport

a. The reposted work is detected by the platform or reported by others;

b. The same video is posted multiple times and is considered duplicate by the platform;

c. The new work is similar to the previous popular work in general, and is mistakenly damaged by the platform and judged as plagiarism;

d. After modification, large sections of content from movies, TV shows, variety shows, and other people’s original works are used and recognized by the system.

5) Inflating behavior

Increasing fans, increasing reposts, comments and likes, increasing playback volume...all non-normal platform operation data will be detected by the system. As for why Douyin does not limit your traffic immediately? It can only mean that your account is not big enough. If you continue to swipe, you will definitely be restricted.

6) Video Violations

Douyin has regulations and restrictions on video violations in its community self-discipline convention:

a. Whether there are insulting or abusive remarks in the video;

b. Whether the clothing is revealing, including revealing clothing and sexual innuendo in the game

c. Whether it involves politically sensitive issues;

d. Whether there is any bad guidance, guidance on gender orientation, pitting teammates in the game, catching bugs, and destroying the gaming experience;

e. Whether it is a controversial topic, and whether the picture is too monotonous, with too few changes in one scene;

f. The game graphics are too realistic, the weapons are very exposed, and the scenes are very bloody;

g. Whether the brand trademark is too exposed;

h. Whether there is any rumor-mongering or fraudulent behavior;

i. Is there any attempt to induce likes, shares, and follows?

7) Video copy violation

a. The copy contains contact information and product information;

b. The copywriting induces users to like and comment;

c. The copy contains illegal words.

3. How to save Douyin after it is restricted

1. Check whether the account contains advertising marketing words

For example, xx product agent, or "If you want xxx, add xx" and other advertising and marketing words.

What should I do if the traffic of TikTok is restricted?

Solution: First change your username and profile picture to a normal one, and then post videos normally.

2. Check whether there are any illegal operations

For example, buying a large number of likes, buying fans, mutual likes, copying videos created by other people, and switching between several Douyin accounts on a mobile phone are all violations. Don’t explain too much about buying followers, likes, and reposting. Never do these operations. Many people have encountered this situation, and as a result, all the so-called fans were reset, and the scene was very spectacular. Frequent account switching may be considered as a marketing account. After all, apart from marketing accounts, who else would keep switching accounts?

Solution: If you frequently switch accounts, use one number for each device. As for buying fans and likes, if the original fans were of low quality and large in quantity, then they basically cannot be saved. If the fans at that time were high-quality simulated human accounts and the quantity was not large, then they can still be saved through operations such as account maintenance.

3. Check whether the content of the work is vertical

Verticality refers to the degree of focus on publishing content in a certain field. Tik Tok will label you based on the content you post, and then recommend users to you based on the label. If the content you post is disorganized, the algorithm mechanism will not be able to accurately recommend users to you. Users will not be interested in your videos, and the completion rate and comment rate will be low, so naturally the recommendation rate will not be able to go up.

Solution: Clarify your own positioning, determine the type of account you want to create, find big accounts of the same type, see how they do it, and imitate and create your own, this way the traffic will slowly increase.

4. Check whether any illegal videos have been posted

Illegal videos include the following: whether the video involves sensitive issues, whether the clothing is revealing, whether there is swearing, whether there is bad guidance, whether it contains controversial topics, whether the scene is too bloody and realistic, and whether the trademark is too obvious. Check historical works for violations.

The quickest way is to check whether you can do dou+ quick push. If the video is not in the list of available works, it means that the video is in violation of the rules.

5. Reduce the frequency of publishing works

If you used to post 3 or 4 pieces a day, you can reduce it to 1 piece a day, and the work cannot contain any traces of advertising.

6. Repost other people’s popular and high-quality works

Even if your account is punished and has its privileges downgraded, and the number of views drops to single digits, your forwarded works will still have normal traffic, which can bring you new likes and comments and quickly restore your account weight.

In short, if you find that your traffic has been restricted, don't panic or be anxious. First, clarify the reason why you have been restricted. Secondly, stop the illegal behavior immediately. As long as your account is not blocked by the platform, there is a possibility of recovery. Take care of the account for about a week and slowly recover.
