    Sudden Ranked Drop? Google Algo Update?

    Google is switching servers. There's nothing to do other than wait, just as @Florian67X said. Some people really need to chill.

    Exchange Link Bad for SEO?

    Hell yeah it is bad for SEO. If you aren't aware of that you are either years behind of current SEO knowledge or you just started getting into SEO. You really need to read into that stuff.

    Ebay interrogating me / FTC issues ANYONE?

    Hi my fellow growth hacking friends, so i got a mail from Ebay asking me about how i drive traffic to my website and ulitmately to ebay. I am sure they want to check if i play by the FTC rules. Since i mainly drive traffic through Instagram, but rarely asked the sellers for permission to use...

    Shadowbanned AGAIN

    In my case it wasn't a real shadowban but a system error after Instagram made some changes. It took me 2 - 3 days to pick up my old engagement rate again and now everything is back to normal. I noticed though that the algorithm has changed concerning top posts.

    Engagement problems yesterday, NOT a shadowban - Read

    Instagram has tweeted a statement about some technical issue affecting hashtags and location pages. I have just tested and everything is indeed back to normal. Here's the statement: https://twitter.com/instagram/status/934240040032534528

    Shadowbanned AGAIN

    Since today, all my NEW posts are getting shadowbanned again. This is the second time this happens. The only thing i have changed is that i have switched to SSL on my webpage. I thought maybe Instagram shadowbanned me again for the 301 redirect of the link in my bio. But even after i changed the...

    How to make a deal with a private manufacturer?

    Alright. That is worth thinking about. My budget is pretty low still though. But might be worth taking the risk. Great advise man. Thank you. This won't work because the products are too special. But thanks anyway! No i'm in a different country and asking for sole distribution rights might...

    How to make a deal with a private manufacturer?

    Hey guys, i have no experience in such kind of things so please bear with me! So, my affiliate website is picking up traffic slowly and i am playing around with the idea to (besides my affiliate products) put some products up from people who make fan-art about my niche topic. There's one guy...

    Top Post Section gone or smaller?!?

    Hey, i've noticed that the top posts for some big hashtags are either completely gone or just 3 images instead of 9. Did anyone else make that observation too?? First i thought i was shadowbanned again, but that doesn't seem to be the case. What is going on there?

    Engagement crash after 24-hour like ban

    From what i have heard from many people here on the forum and some other sources these kind of limitations to your exposure are permanent, yes. What do you mean with "it doesn't feel so bad'. I'm not sure if feelings are a accurate measurement here :D Maybe. There are many ways Instagram can...

    Engagement crash after 24-hour like ban

    I always wonder what people think how dumb the Instagram algorithm is. Do you really think you can get away with liking a steady and fix amount of images every day without going unnoticed by a very sophisticated computer script? You're account has been flagged and that is an irreversible damage...

    ASK ME anything about Instagram

    Let me help you out by saying, DON'T DO IT. You are putting your business only in more jeopardy. Maybe there's a reason why it is not taking off / why you don't have happy loyal customers. By investing money into fake accounts and bots you are not improving anything. If you want to invest into...

    Permanently Closed Marketplace Sales Thread

    Exactly that. Why not let people choose off a basic model and a "premium support" model and let those who don't want to pay a monthly fee be? Why piss people off that way and risk your business reputation? I just don't get it. Thats why many people think it's pure greed i guess. Because it's...
