Mass Instagram Bans

Scary times to be an IG marketer, but where there is a will there is a way. Keep building! Above suggestion was to make 1 primary account which has the link, and 9 spam accounts that link back to the primary IG ... is that what I read? Seeking clarification.

Made accounts having different blogspot url e.g domain1.blogspot.com and domain2blogspot.com and so on.. 1 IP and 1 fresh number = 2 accounts, well guess what? they we're all banned (made 8 accounts yesterday).

Do I have anything to worry about?

I have one branded account linking my own branded ecommerce site. I automate the dogs work like following, unfollowing, liking and commenting, but also engage in legit conversation too.

I use UTM and Bitly to track link clicks and for analytics.

It seems like it might depend on how aggressive you are with the botting. I have some account that are close to a year old that have links in them there are not banned yet. BUT, I do very light botting on them -- like 200 follows a day, doing likes and comments myself.

As for link shortener, probably shouldn't go there. You can track your traffic from IG in different ways.
You'd like to think they aren't just flat out banning people for having shortened links...but you never know.

My 3 month old account with 5k followers got banned yesterday. I think I got banned because I shortened my link. Using fl is still safe I think. Just follow 300-500 per day. I knew this because my other 2 accounts is still active. They have no links on them.

Biggest thing that gets people banned is either a not so good proxy or usage of links. For this summer, Id recommend people to stop using links until they're a big account or have a few big accounts. And maybe the safest bet would be make a twitter account for your one IG or net of IG's, and redirect followers there. Through twitter you can easily direct them to your website or e-store or CPA offers or whatever.
