What are posthunters?
PostHunter: A Tool for Automating VKontakte Activity
VKontakte has been one of the most popular social networks in the Russian Federation for many years. Users of this Russian platform engaged in monetization should definitely know what posthunters are.
Features of the Tool
PostHunter is a useful tool designed for automated task development for VK. The service scans user pages and groups every minute, then creates tasks related to boosting activity of various types on posts that are added to these pages and community walls. In other words, reposts and likes are ordered for new posts, not specific pages or groups.
Boosting starts only if new publications match the filters set by the posthunter user.
The volume of task execution can be:
- Selected independently, without any calculations;
- Determined based on the average activity values of the previous 10 publications.
For different communities and user categories, you can choose a different number of comments, reposts, and "hearts". All posthunter settings are intuitive, with each field and button having a clear label.
Types of Posthunters
The tools can be classified into several types depending on the type of activity they add to posts:
- Only reposts
- Only likes
- Reposts + likes
A separate category includes tools that allow planning posts with automatic advertising labeling and sending reports in accordance with the norms of the Russian Federal Law "On Advertising".
Main Functionality
The main advantages of posthunters are their versatility and flexibility of settings. Services can boost all publications or only advertising posts with or without labels.
Some features include:
- Timer for the duration of action – the posthunter automatically works based on the time posts appear;
- Triggers – boosting by links and keywords. For example, if a publication contains a link to a VK group "vk.com/…F", the tool will automatically boost comments and/or "hearts" only for posts with that link. Posts without the link are ignored. The same applies to keywords;
- Randomized boosting volume – e.g., 110–140 likes. To set an exact number of comments or "hearts", specify the exact value.
Purposes of Using Posthunters
These tools are designed for effective and efficient boosting in VK. The chances of a post appearing in social network recommendations depend on how many users like it. Posts with many likes are considered useful and interesting.
Posthunters speed up and simplify boosting "hearts" and other activity types. They are necessary for users who:
- Want to expand the audience of advertising publications (e.g., for promoting and selling goods or services);
- As administrators of a group or individual VK users, want to draw attention to certain information;
- Want to increase the popularity of their community or profile on the social network.
With posthunters, boosting reposts and likes becomes more convenient. It is enough to set the required activity parameters for the added posts.
