Two ways to drive traffic from Instagram without using link trees
If your accounts keep getting flagged after adding links in bio, stop forcing linktrees everywhere.
IG started treating external redirects way stricter now.
These two are the best performing methods rn
1) Telegram method
Telegram links still work relatively нормально with Instagram.
You place the TG link in bio, then inside Telegram you redirect people further wherever needed.
But don’t be stupid with it. If your Telegram is full NSFW instantly, bans can still happen. IG checks where traffic goes eventually.
Best setup usually:
* clean Telegram landing
* no explicit preview content
* actual posts/activity there
* redirect deeper from TG itself
This survives way longer then direct spam links.
2) Current story method
Instead of bio links, place the link inside a current story/highlighted story.
Then in bio just write something like:
“link in stories” or “check highlight”
This usually gets less attention from moderation systems and still converts surprisingly well.
Important:
* make the story first in highlights
* preferably keep it as the only highlight
* don’t overload attention with 15 random categories
If people need to search for the link, you already lost half the clicks honestly.
Just a general observation - IG is FAR more strict than it was 3 months ago with its links and nsfw content.
