Every post I make has a link in it too. I don't see how that might get you banned.

You link to useful articles on a specific subject. That won't get you banned. An overdose of commercial links, on the other hand, are likely to get you banned if someone flags you.
Here are the "factors" they take into consideration:

# If you have followed a large amount of users in a short amount of time;
# If you have followed and unfollowed people in a short time period, particularly by automated means (aggressive follower churn);
# If you repeatedly follow and unfollow people, whether to build followers or to garner more attention for your profile;
# If you have a small number of followers compared to the amount of people you are following;
# If your updates consist mainly of links, and not personal updates;
# If a large number of people are blocking you;
# The number of spam complaints that have been filed against you;
# If you post duplicate content over multiple accounts or multiple duplicate updates on one account
# If you post multiple unrelated updates to a topic using #
# If you post multiple unrelated updates to a trending or popular topic
# If you repost other user?s content without attribution.
# If you have attempted to "sell" followers, particularly through tactics considered aggressive following or follower churn.

Basically, what it comes down to is that your account should not "look like" a spam account. Yours, quite obviously, does not look like one at all.
