A ton of people have this issue and I know a lot of people that are extremely discouraged because of this. I will keep it as short as possible. If you're trying to make money on IG with spam accounts and you're getting huge ban waves, your URLs could be the problem. Instagram has spiders that follow links and if you were to put the same link on many accounts, they will all get banned instantly.
What's written in this thread is to help you stay as safe as possible.
First thing: 301 redirects do not work to cloak a URL. (This means using bitly, etc). Instagram will detect what is on the other end of a 301 redirect so you are not fooling anyone by using a bitly to mask a URL.
Also, never put a URL in your bio that other people are using. This means landing pages that other people could be using (such as premade OGAds landing pages, or landing pages of any CPA network).
You have a few simple methods to get around this. (There are other advanced methods that seem like redirects to anyone clicking on the link, but I'm keeping it simple in this post to appeal to everyone)
1) If you have some $$$ to spend:
You can buy some cheap domains from somewhere like namecheap, godaddy, etc. Scrape the landing page you want to use by using a tool like HTTrack or Darcy Ripper or Google a different one yourself. Upload this site to your domains. Then, get creative with linking it back with your CPI or CPA offer (For example, if you're using OGAds like most people doing CPI on IG, make your own custom content locker and use it on your websites). Then, advertise your domains in your IG bios.
2) If you don't have any $$$:
Simply make a website on a free website builder. You can use weebly or wix or any other free website builder that comes with free hosting. Make a simple page that has a button that says something like "Click here to continue" and make the button redirect to a premade CPI or CPA landing page. These website builders will usually give you a domain like username.weebly.com which is ugly, so you can go make a custom bitly link and redirect the bitly link to your username.weebly.com. Then, put your bitly link in your IG bio.
For 1) or 2), use the same domain on a maximum of 5 accounts. If you really want to be safe, use 1 domain per 1 account.
If you have any questions, drop them below.
