Hashtag Question ??

pmor1983 · Dec 1, 2020

Hello guys

I am a amateur photographer. I have a profile with landscape photo.I posted a photo with 30 hashtags (these hashtags have average 30k to 200k posts) My photo is on the top list of many of these hashtags however my engagement from hashtags is only 31 !!!

Why ? what is happening ? Am i Shadowbanned ? How can i see if i am Shadowbanned ??
I want to mention that i use follow/unfollow method manual. Can this affect my posts reach ?

Any Help would be helpful !!!!!!

and how is the engagement?? are you getting decent likes or reach on the post?
if it is showing up under the recent post tab of the hashtag it is not shadowbanned, perhaps the account is damaged or flagged for any other reason.

If you can see your post from hashtags, then you're not being shadowban.

Maybe you're using too many hashtags. One more, you can't use the same hashtags in every post you made.

well, yes, anything can affect it, doesn't really matter if it's automatic or manual, many of the times it looks the same to them. Try and pause this for a while and see if things change.

Although your account may get a lot of likes, if you're using hashtags that are more popular than your account, you won't get a lot of reach from hashtags. Is it possible you're using hashtags that are out of reach of your account?

Do those hashtags get any attention? To maximize your engagement you need hashtags that people frequently use, but that aren't so competitive that your posts get buried. I see a lot of your hashtags are misspelled. I think it's likely that you aren't getting any reach because no one is looking for those hashtags.

Try finding posts from accounts that are similar in size to yours in the same niche, and see what hashtags those accounts are using. Also be aware that there is such a thing as using too many hashtags. I would stick with 10-15 at most.

I will check it next days !!! I didnt know i have to find hashtags which looking more people.
So your opinion is to use 10-15 at most, and use hashtags that people frequently use.

Could i ask you what is your opinion about follow unfollow method manually ?
What is your niche ?

There are a lot factors with hashtags that go beyond just reach and content quality. One of my accounts is fishing related and I have seen shit photos from other fishing accounts get banged with 3K+ likes and my UGC image with a hot chick got around 300... with 20K followers...

Sometimes its poor timing, other times it has to with what's trending in the niche. Sometimes its just not your time to shine homie.
