So I am building a network of affiliates for my ecom store on IG and I will be giving them all unique affiliate links. Would it be risky if they all put their affiliate links in their bio? Would IG see this as all the same links leading to the same site and ban the affiliate links? If so, is there a way I can avoid this issue?
 
I am pretty sure IG can filter accounts by the URL thats in the bio. So unless you are not using a completely different URL's for each Instagram account your best bet is to cloak all links to trick Instagram.

Alright so I am looking into cloakers a bit now and I wanted to confirm with you this is how it works.

So all I need to do is buy a cloaker for my website website$com. I would add code or smth into my website so the cloaker is activated. Whenever someone clicks on a refferal link website$com?ref everything would run smoothly for real people while crawlers are blocked from entering the website. Is that right?
 
Affiliate links will get banned eventually. Their bots check bio links on a regular basis.

Just buy a domain and build landing pages.

Oh alright I guess I'll look into that. What if the links in the bio are only up during the ad time (12 hours at most)? Would they still ban the link?

Why does ig have to be so lame. It's not even like im doing something black hat. I'm reaching out to other ig accounts in the same niche to promote my store :mad:

IG just doesn't like affiliate links. If you're lucky I think you'll be able to get away with it. Sometimes IG will flag / shadowban your account after removing your links.
