A/B testing Posting/Not Posting - ALARMING!

goforgold · Oct 17, 2018

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 PVA...
0% of Group A is affected...

Well for those who were saying that posting is getting super risky, I witnessed that first hand today.

Anyone else get hit today like this?

If you are using automation...

You have to be very careful as the zuck is starting to crack down on automation.

Which means if they sense you're using automation they'll ban your ass on the spot
The worst thing is they don't tell you that you're banned instead they try and sweep it
under the rug.

I suggest be very careful or go the organic way for growth...

As the algorithm gets smarter and smarter the more it gets deadly for people using bots...

Using the very same method on Jarvee, although my data pool is way too small (4+4accounts) my conclusion is the same.
Now, for sake of curiosity, i will try to repost directly from hashtag tops instead of passing thru campaign, let's see if it's working!

I read somewhere recently that if you have a business account it is now allowed to schedule posts through Instagrams through their API with certain tools, for example hootsuite.

Wouldn't that be a safe option?
