The main thing you really need is diversity. Even with a few links that are all identical in nature can give you real issues. So make sure: Links from diverse website types (blogs, ecommerce, government, newspaper, etc) That all your anchor text is diverse too - so not having 'buy this' as...

Yeah, as other member above said maybe you just haven't given it enough time. Can I ask how long it's been since you got the rankings?

Hi guys, just been running a test for the past week. Using GMT2 25 accounts on Group A 25 accounts on Group B They're doing the exact same activities apart from Group B is doing one post per day. Group A no posts. Everything going fine for a week and then today BLAM. 90% of Group B hits...

So as we (should) know there are many footprints that IG can detect when you're making HQ accounts on mobile. Basically, if you try and sign up for more than a few IG accounts from the same phone, IG will block you or give you a very low quality score. To get around this, we must change all...

Most of the big softwares do this (GMT2, Jarvee)

So I'm warming up about 50 new accounts right now. First few weeks were fine, running about 15 follows per day. I just stepped it up to about 40 follows per day and insantly I get hit by PV wave on all accs. Now I'm back in business, but I keep getting follow block on pretty much all accounts...

Yeah, it's same story on GMT. But it could be so many things: Behaviours Accounts flagged from birth Proxies flagged from start (used before for spam) GMT/Jarvee/Bot 'tells' that IG is now picking up on. Or, maybe IG has got really sophisticated and is flagging accounts that don't perform...

Thanks for the insights. Anyone got any hard numbers on data usage?

It's 'virgin' Apparently.... according to the company that sold it to me... Maybe it is, maybe not. That's why I said, you need to develop your own proxy strategy. I'm working on a private 4G network :D

I bought a fresh resi virgin proxy (apparently) from a fairly trusted supplier here for about $4/month - used it on my phone and got a PV straight after posting an image on my 8k + followers aged account. I don't know what is going on recently but it seems you need to take everything in house to...

Yes, that's true. However I guess it comes down to the scraping method. If you're always adding new sources or you have a pool of millions of targeted accounts to follow then it shouldn't be too intensive. I'm running GMT2 with over 50 accs for a good while now - any ideas how I'd check the...

No GMT2 or other bot That's absolutely insane... are you sure it was 500mb and not 500kb?! Half a gig per day just to do some following... that doesn't really make any sense since most images on IG are only a few kb...

I'm trying to work out the average amount of data a botted account uses when running on these kind of settings: 300 follows 1 post every few days DMs to new followers Do you think it could be kept below 200mb per month?

I've been using smspva but having some serious issues. A lot of the numbers never receive any sort of code. Any others you'd recommend? I'm looking for UK/USA numbers preferably.

You're right my man. I think what we should all take from this is to: Check our settings - let's make 100% sure that we're not being obvious with timings etc Don't do all actions for accounts at the same time. As many have pointed out, if you're going to sign in with 50 accounts at same time...

Yeah it's pretty bad when you verify first from a US number then from a UK one.... that's not gonna send a red flag.... pah

Yeah, to be honest, that's my weak link too. Come to think of it. No way they're banning me for a miserable 30 follows per day. The weak part and the part I had no control over are the accounts. I'm making my own from now on.

Some other users are apparently reporting a lot of PV today, so maybe it's just a bad day. But at the same time, I'm trying to make a list of all the 'unusual' things that my accounts do, because honestly I've been overly careful with them. $4 proxy lots of rest very very slow warm up (less...

Right? I'm thinking really hard right now about making a private bot that mimics real users 99.9%

Yeah, as I just said on other thread - but for members who didn't see it - I'm also facing this issue - I thought it was due to my activities (very very slow and boring warm up, under 30 follows per day). But now I'm hoping maybe this is just PVA day over at IG haha.. Would love to know who else...
