HELP PLEASE!! 800+ LinkedIn Accounts Blocked

[ConnectionSphere]

Hello Everyone.

I'm running Lead Generation campaigns for many clients.
I create 10-15 accounts for each client, and follow the steps described by Bloody Ninja in this post:

<BlackHatWorld URL HERE> / seo / private-method-revealed-bloodyninjas-complete-linkedin-guide.908333

2 months ago, I receved a big order that requried 400 accounts.
It worked very good for the first month.
Then the 400 accounts was blocked.

I replaced them for another 400 accounts.
All of them have been blocked.

I replaced them again for another 400 acccounts.
This time, In orther to avoid new accounts to be blocked, I applied improvements to the stealth:

1. I removed the link to my client's company from the profiles as you requested. I think that a link to the same website in 400 profiles created te same day may be detected by LI.

2. I reinforced the spinning in the content for the LI profiles.

3. I applied spinning for the sales scripts. I was assuming that LI was not tracking private messages between users. But I may be wrong.

Today, 30 of the 400 new accounts have been blocked again.
Most of them have been blocked after send a few or zero invitations to connect on LinkedIn.

Is there any expert here who can tell me something that I'm missing ??

Hey, are you using proxies for each account?

Hey, are you using proxies for each account?

Yes.
I'm using 1 StormProxy for each account.
I'm using 1 Browser profile for each account.
I slowed down the # of invitations to no more then 20 per day, and no more then 10 per hour.
I use to do some distraction activities like group searches, and people searches.

Any idea please?

I don't have any issues with my accounts (I am running 100 at this moment, 50-100 invitations per day). What bot are you using?

Maybe you should change your proxy provider, you shouldn't have so many issues!

Are you running the accounts after creating them or you have a warming up strategy?

 

[BlackhatseoLux]

What type of storm proxies do you use?
Private?

 

[PHPInjected]

I'd say it's your proxies/something in your browser that's linking those accounts together. Or even, you're still getting connected by the 800+ with the same URL in each profile

Could be using some sort of browser finger printing. What you say a separate browser...do you mean a new session? Or a new install? Or just IE instead of chrome etc?

Due the urgency of the client, I'm running the accounts as soon as I create them.

In order to warm them up at the same time that I run the campaign, I use to send 20 invitations per day, no more than 10 per hour, and I also send invitations to PYMK, since they are proposed by LinkedIn and also they have a high conversion. I assume the high conversion of PYMK will compensate any low conversion inf the other invitaitons that I send.

I'm useing StormProxies's dedicated LinkedIn proxies.

I something wrong with them?

New accounts have not URLs in their summary.

I use my own software. It use ruby + selenium-webdriver + chrome.

Each account run in a chome browser with its own and unique chrome profile.

I am sure that the warming process is the problem. You have to wait 1 week before sending connections after creating the account (or, at least, 3 days)

They can probably tell you are running selenium/chrome driver. It's not hard to fingerprint unfortunately.

I'm creating 300 new accounts today.
I will follow you advice.

That has never been a problem.

What footprint do you mean exactly?

They can include various bits of js to query the browser to determine if it's being ran in an automated way.

Are you creating accounts using bot? This is probably where the issue is.

I will research that. Thanks!

Yes. Why this may be an issue?

Leaving prints that are visible to LinkedIn, therefore,e all accounts get banned

What are the prints in the account creation that you wouldn't leave in all the other automation work.

I'm using one single chrome profiles for each account, one single private proxy.

If I’d know I’d tell you exactly where to look. Chrome profiles and private proxy does not mean you can’t be seen. Maybe this is where you issue is - different proxies but same fingerprints

 

[Univa]

Maybe test something else out. Stop using the bot for account creation, create accounts manually and use Firefox instead of chrome or mix different browsers.
Warm a few accounts while keep other as it is and do nothing to see.
If still the accounts get blocked then maybe reinstall windows to clear everything from your PC and see if it works.

Pretty sure you are leaving footprints somehow.

Hello again to Everyone.

After a lot of tries & fails, I finally reduced the ratio of blockings from 50 accounts / 1000 invitations to 1.7 accounts / 1000 invitations.

I realized that the software was using one different agent-name reach time I open the browser to login.

I don't use aged accounts yet, because I have urgency to run the campaigns.

Now I'm very angry and I'm going to publish a plan that I made in order to improve the stealth even more.
