How To Fix Instagram Shadow Ban [Tested and Working]

Ways to remove the Instagram Shadowban:

Backoff from posting for a couple of days - Some people have stopped using Instagram for over 3 days (or more). Their ban was lifted after that.

Delete all hashtags from your recent posts - This trick worked well for a lot of people and it seems to be the fastest way to remove the Instagram shadowban. 
 
People have also reported that not using the same hashtags over and over again helps. It signals to Instagram you are an active user and not a bot.

Put your hashtags in the caption (not in the comments) - People reported that when they put their hashtags in the comments, their post was shadowbanned after 1 – 2 hours. Stop doing this for future posts and go back to your recent posts and fix them up.

Don’t use too many hashtags - Remove hashtags from old posts and make sure to use less than 30 hashtags

Contact Instagram - Get in touch with Instagram. Some people got unbanned reporting the problem to Instagram.

There are different ways to get in touch with Instagram: Through their website, the app, Facebook page or email them directly (support@instagram.com). Tell them: “I am not being shown in the hashtags I’ve used for my post”. Do not say you have been “shadowbanned”.

Do not switch to a business profile - Many users have experienced a loss of engagement after switching to a business profile.

Top SEO Techniques [2018] and how it is Relates to Quality Content

1. Page Titles

Each page needs to have a title that is brief, descriptive and attracts the target audience.

It has to be clear and concise, a sort of preview of what you will get once you continue reading on.
However, any website can have the best content and page titles in the world but if it only has 3 to 10 pages worth of content, people are more likely to search for the information elsewhere.

2. Use Images Wisely

This means images should be matched with words. Content creators should be careful with using images because it may affect page speed.

3. Text Formatting: H1, H2, H3, Bold, Italics

Bold and italics should be used to attract attention and emphasis.

4. Page Speed

Remove unused plug-ins
Images with smaller KB load faster
Use online tools like Pingdom and GTMetrix to test the speed of your site. Some of these free tools can find out which components of the website makes it slower; the website owner can then change or remove them completely.

5. Internal Links

These are links inside the website that lead to content that is relevant to what you are reading now. The purpose of internal links is to help the user navigate the website easier.
-
“Don’t always link old posts from new posts but every couple of weeks go back and link newer posts from older posts.”

6. Maximize Social Media

What is good about social media is that there are comments, shares and likes, which are highly measurable. Hence, to determine whether your content is performing well enough, you should simply analyse the stats.
Social media, just like SEO, is an excellent way to gain more users, page views and visitors because it gives you the needed exposure when people share and engage with your content and updates.

7. External Links: Get Links from other Websites

8. Our Mobile World

Websites have to create content that is native for mobile phones; most websites today are still created for the desktop user in mind.

Going back to Gary Vaynerchuk, he stated that the mobile phone is the TV of our generation and the TV is becoming the radio. The mobile phone is more than a TV.

How to Know if Someone Checked My Facebook Profile

Unfortunately, you cannot accurately see who has viewed your profile, unless ofcourse you become an ethical hacker or a CBI agent. Here are some ways to see who's taking interest in you or has accidentally searched up for you:

Go To Your Facebook timeline-

Right click on your timeline and hit “View page Source”.

Now, you’ll be redirected to a new page with lots codes.
Hold CTRL+F on your keyboard, a text box appears at the right corner, in that box, type- “InitialChatFriendsList” (Don’t include Quotes)

Next to that word, you’ll see a list of numbers, these are the profile ID’s of people who visit your timeline.

Just go to “login or sign up” and paste the ID number beside it with a “\” . For example, if the ID is abcd, you have to put it as- anybody can dance.
The first ID shows the one who visits profile more often while the last ID never visits your profile!

This shows up people keeping track on you. Not exactly what you're looking for but the closest indeed.

How To Write A Successful Blog Post

 These tips can help you minimize the learning curve and create great blogs. Of course, you must follow these steps persistently and the results will definitely show.

Use Powerful Images:

A powerful image can zap right into the brain and can create a great connect without using a single word. Images can help you send out the perfect message that might not be possible to achieve with words.

Create Interest With A Stimulating Title:

A good intriguing title can make a great first impression. If you want your blog posts to be read by more readers, you must have a knack for creating arresting titles.

Make a Point:

What is your blog about? The theme should be clear to your audience from the images and title. Don’t try to talk about too many things. Just boil it down to one key subject.

Use a Powerful Keyword:

What word would your audience most likely use to find your blog? That is your keyword. Use it in your title and first paragraph compulsorily. You can use it a few more times but with a natural flow of words.

Use Sub Headings:

Sub-headings acts as a landing spot for the eyes of the readers. It also helps break a long passage. Use at least two to three subheads for your blog to look well structured.
