Posted in Banned hashtags

Why should you scan if all of your hashtags are banned or ban-free?

Hashtags are the primary tool to increase your posts’ visibility – in an organic, unpaid way 💜

But the tricky thing is that not all hashtags benefit you: some of them can harm your engagement.

Banned hashtags are Instagram’s way of fighting spam content.

When many users report photos with particular hashtags as spam or inappropriate material, they try to eliminate the spread of such posts by imposing limitations on those hashtags.

🚨 Using them will result in limited reach and the feeling that your photos have been “shadowbanned” 🚨

👉🏻 The most surprising thing about the “black list of hashtags” is that some of them look entirely non-defective, and you’ll never say there could be something wrong with them, and they can be on a list of banned ones. 

The second baffling factor?

The list is ever-evolving and updated daily, so it’s tough to keep up with it and manually check it every time you post something.

We invented our tool: IQ Hashtags Banned hashtags feature 🤩

It makes detecting banned hashtags easier and quicker than ever – one smart click, and you know everything about the hashtags you want to use before publication or whenever you want to check if your hashtags are safe 🔥

The purpose of banning hashtags is to minimize the spread of spam content and automatically hide posts that may violate Instagram’s guidelines and the community’s safety. Banned hashtags are the hashtags that Instagram had to put out of action. Content with these hashtags isn’t displayed normally, and as a result – it has a very limited reach and engagement!

There are two types of banned hashtags:

  • these are banned permanently – many times, even the hashtag explore page is out of use. These hashtags will stay banned, no matter what.
  • Temporarily banned. In this case, the ban isn’t permanent – sometimes it lasts for days or weeks, so these hashtags go back to life, and then… Get banned again. Why? Posts with them are being flagged as ‘spam’ just too often.

👉🏻 What happens if you use a banned hashtag? 

When you use one of the banned hashtags, you’re wasting the chance to get discovered by new people – potential followers or clients – because this hashtag isn’t working at all! 

It’s not going to give you a chance to be featured on the Explore page, and if you use banned hashtags quite often, your account may be considered by an algorithm as a spam-sharing one! 🚨

👉🏻 How do you know if the hashtag is banned?

Since the banned hashtags change daily and the list is updated a few times a day, you must check the hashtags you want to use and do your safety research before including them in a post (all the time!)

You can do it manually, but there are two obstacles: it’s time-consuming, and you may choose the wrong, untrustworthy source and use the outdated list 👎🏻

That’s why it’s much better to choose a faster and more effective way: our IQ Hashtags feature 🔥

We have access to the most official and updated data, so our list of banned hashtags is always current and relevant. If you see that some of the hashtags of your choice are banned, you can throw them away and choose other ones instead – and scan your new decisions immediately.

Using banned hashtags can completely ruin your profile’s visibility – so it’s better to scan the safety of your choices (as a quick check right before posting new content, as well as a scan of the posts from your past) and eliminate the bad ones! 😬

With the Banned hashtags feature, you can quickly scan all the hashtags you want to use and check if they’re ban-free! 🤩

To perform a scan:

  1. Type in the hashtags you want to check (yes, you can paste whole sets of hashtags too!)
  2. Click the “Check” button

When you have a paid subscription, you have additional access to “real-time” scans, which means that our tool accesses the most updated list of banned hashtags – from that precise moment of your scan, so it’s 100% valid. It’s the safest option with a full guarantee! 🔥
