From what I understood, and rockong, please correct me if I'm wrong, you cannot use 5 proxies per account, it's 1 proxy per account, and the rate limits are not affected at all. What proxies allow you to do is run the bot multi-threaded. So say you have account 1 with its proxy running a follow task with delays, etc. With proxies, you can also run account 2 with its proxies at the same time (multi-threaded) doing commenting, following, what ever. Without proxies, task 1 would have to finish before task 2 could start. At least that's how I understand it. Speed up processes dramatically if you're running lots of accounts. Is this right Rockong?
Hey SEO_Alchemy,
I'm going to write it out by an example, because that would perhaps be the easiest. I do thank you for your questions, as these are answers I'm sure many people wonder themselves. I will absolutely have to put this into the guide after. Okay...here we go:
Let's say I have 10 accounts which I would like to follow 49 people EACH at 8am and would like to be done by 9am. However, without proxies, it would run one-by-one, which means that it's unlikely to finish within the hour for those 10 accounts.
Therefore, it would be advantageous to use a proxy. Now, I can multi-thread by running 2+ tasks simultaneously. I'll break my group of 10 accounts into 2 groups: 5 accounts without proxies and 5 accounts with proxies. Now, I can split my time in half for the following tasks because now I'll have two threads running at the same time.
How would you do that with InstaDominate and the scheduler? Here are the steps:
1) Create a .txt file with your 5 accounts without proxies
2) Under it, list the 5 accounts you'd like to use WITH proxies (each account using the same proxy)
For example:
username : password
username : password
username : password
username : password
username : password
username : password : proxy1
username : password : proxy1
username : password : proxy1
username : password : proxy1
username : password : proxy1
(take away the spacing of course, I just didn't want BHW's smileys to show up because of the "; p" being placed together)
3) Now load all of the accounts into InstaDominate's account module.
4) On the Scheduler, you'll now select your first follow task with your 5 accounts
without proxies and set it up for 8am
5) Now, unselect the original 5 accounts and select the next 5 accounts
with proxies and set it up for 8:01am
6) Both tasks will start at its designated time and will now complete by 9am
Of course that was a "simple" model of it. You can scale it as big as you need.
I hope that was more clear and useful SEO_Alchemy - let me know if it wasn't!
Thanks again for your
great questions!
