Among the other Instagram promotion methods that we covered in our previous article (link: [http://instadot.ru/prodvizhenie-v-instagram-rekomendacii](https://instadot.ru/en/instagram-promotion-a-review-of-boosting-methods/)) pay particular attention to [Instagram like boosting](http://promo.apibossa.pw/?tag=lajki-instagram) and [follower boosting](http://promo.apibossa.pw/?tag=kupit%60-podpischikov-v-instagram), because these two methods are the most popular…

In most cases, artificially boosting followers and likes means increasing the figures with bot accounts or hacked profiles belonging to real users. This raises the question of whether these methods are safe…

## Boosting with bots

**Instagram bot-follower boosting** — specially prepared profiles follow the customer’s account. They are registered automatically with software rather than manually. The rate can reach tens of thousands per day, depending directly on the service used.
 This method is reasonably safe for Instagram promotion, because the security system does not identify bots if they are registered correctly (using clean proxy servers and unique virtual-device IDs)

## Followers from hacked accounts

**Boosting Instagram followers with hacked accounts** — this algorithm is designed not only to increase follower numbers but also to increase “organic” activity: likes from real users and additional video views. Real users see the posts in their news feeds and may react to them. This method can be described as relatively safe, since the risk of Instagram sanctions increases because owners of hacked accounts may complain.
 This method should be used carefully, since at any time Instagram can tighten measures for its use (up to blocking the profile)

## Likes: description of the method and evaluation of the authors

**Instagram like boosting** usually comes partly from hacked accounts and partly from bots. Broadly speaking, who places the likes does not matter: Instagram considers their number and arrival rate, not the quality of the accounts supplying them.
 This method can be considered safe for promotion in the social network Instagram

**P.S.**: Our service does not inflate follower counts using hacked profiles belonging to real Instagram users, because this is against the law
