key indicators that advertisers focus on when ordering publications from bloggers. Therefore, it is extremely important to know the real numbers for these indicators. In order not to waste your advertising budget, you need to check whether this blogger is really popular and whether he has real followers, likes and comments.

This can be done using special paid services and tools, but we will focus on simple, handy methods that anyone can use.

So, how to find out if Instagram followers are fake - without special programs, for free and without SMS
1. Check your subscribers' profiles
To do this, go to the "Followers" tab of the account you are interested in and scroll through the list of followers. Pay attention to their quality: how many of them are accounts that look like real people (with photos on avatars), how many are commercial accounts, are there any foreign followers. If there are clearly too many such profiles among the followers, then the blogger is definitely using cheating.When checking your followers, you should be wary of the following types of profiles:
subscribers without avatars;
profiles with several numbers in the nickname;
with a random set of letters instead of a name;
foreign accounts (when purchasing cheap bots, they are mostly Arab or Indian fakes);
2. Study likes.
Likes can be assessed by several criteria. First, compare the number of likes with the number of subscribers.

If the subscribers are real, the number of likes will be approximately 3.5 to 15% of the total number of followers.
If a blogger with 100,000 followers gets 2,000 likes, this raises suspicions. As a rule, this indicates that subscribers are bought.

But if the likes are more than 15%, if it seems to you that there are too many of them, then be wary too. Bloggers often buy bot likes to show advertisers good statistics. If you are not sure that the likes are real, look at them under one of the posts. If there are many bots, empty accounts or unclear stores among them, then you are dealing with a scam.
