One Clicks

Google Account

Activity

Activity on a Gmail account plays a huge role in obtaining one clicks and a high trust score. The more genuine human activity you have on a Gmail account, the higher the likelihood of the account becoming trusted by Google and having a 0.9 score and one clicks will be.

Be sure to regularly harvest activity on these accounts even after getting one click status to maintain one clicks in the future.

Tracked Activity

Activity that Google tracks can be found here. This includes activity such as Google Search, Google News, Youtube, Google Shopping, Google Images, etc.

Harvesting Activity

Harvesting activity on a Gmail account needs to mimic how a regular person would use these different platforms. You can’t just leave Youtube videos running 24/7 in your bot harvesters for example. When generating activity on an account, you need to do so in a human manner. It is possible to have too much activity on a Google account. This means genuine interaction with Google services, while at the same time taking frequent breaks, is needed. Regular people are not doing Google activities 24/7.

You can utilize an activity harvesting tool such as AYCD or Kylin.

Age

Aged Gmail accounts are typically seen as more trustworthy to Google. New accounts aren't as trusted right away as they can often be made specifically for spam purposes. Accounts that are at least one or two years old are typically seen as more trustworthy to Google right away. This means they are more likely to get a trust score of 0.9 and one clicks faster than newer Gmails accounts.

Note that the Gmail account will still need to have activity on it in order for it to have a high trust score. Simply purchasing a Gmail account that was made a few years ago with no recent activity will most likely not give you one clicks right away. This is why it is helpful to purchase warmed Gmail accounts, as they have already been harvested for activity on a trusted IP and are guaranteed to have one clicks and a high trust score when you receive them.

Some aged accounts will have high trust and one clicks instantly, while others you’ll have to harvest for a few days to up to 2 months for trusted status. It will vary by the account.

Some great tools to automate generating activity on a Gmail account include:

• AYCD

• Kylin

These tools will automatically cycle through the activities tracked by Google mentioned above, such as Youtube, Google searches, etc. These tools will mimic human interaction in a smart way, and take breaks throughout the day automatically to avoid Google’s automated bot detection. This is the fastest and most efficient way to build trust on your Gmail account.

If you are using an automatic harvesting tool, it is very important to listen to their instructions on how to run them. If you mess around with dev recommended settings for these tools, then you run the risk of lowering your Gmail account’s trust.

The IP address that you use to access Google services, generate activity and solve captchas from, is an important factor to take into consideration. It can make the difference between your Gmail account being trusted or not.

Maintaining Same IP Associated with Gmail Account

Google does track the different IP addresses that access an account. If the IP address is constantly changing, then this can be seen as a red flag to Google and hurt your account’s trust and one click status.

Keep note of the proxies associated with a Gmail account, so you are always accessing it from the same IP, whether it be in AYCD, or your bot’s captcha harvester.

Changing IP

Try to change the IP used to access an account only when you suspect the proxy may be flagged or your current proxies have expired. Getting one clicks or a high trust score is a combination of both the Gmail account itself and the IP address. Keep this in mind when changing the IP on an account.

You may not necessarily have one clicks or a high trust score right away when you change the IP. You generally will need to have some activity registered from a new IP on that account before Google gives you one clicks again.

Proxy Providers

Using a proxy provider for your Gmail accounts that allow you to renew the same list can be very helpful in maintaining the same Gmail account and IP address tie. However, it is ok to use monthly proxies that change every month. Just be sure not to change the IP accessing the account too frequently, such as every few days, or you risk a flag by Google eventually.

Refer to Proxy Providers for some providers you can look into when purchasing proxies.

One Clicks and Score

If you are harvesting activity from a specific proxy, then make sure you test for one clicks and score on that proxy, as well as solve captchas in your bot harvesters with that same proxy. Using an IP that Google recognizes with that account is essential for best results.

Residential vs Datacenter (or ISP Datacenter)

Datacenter/ ISP Datacenter proxies are the better choice to use for both activity and captcha harvesting. It’s helpful to make note of a few factors first before deciding what proxy type to use. These factors will be speed, reliability, bandwidth, and trustworthiness.

Speed

Datacenter: This type of proxy will be the better choice for speed. These proxies are typically hosted on either a 1 GBPS port or 10 GBPS port. This will allow you to take advantage of the speed of the computer/server you are running from. This also allows for bot captcha harvesters to load captchas faster, which will give you an advantage, especially in FCFS releases like Shopify or Supreme.

Residential: This type of proxy is not as reliable from a speed standpoint. They do not offer the same speeds as a datacenter proxy, and you will often find that the amount of data that can pass through a residential proxy gateway is on average around 10 MBPS or less. This can greatly hurt your chances during a FCFS drop as captchas will load in even slower. There is also no way to reliably control latency (distance between proxies and Google servers), which makes it even more unreliable.

Reliability

Datacenter: DC proxies are also better from a reliability process. They are dedicated and only being used by one person at any single time. This will reduce the chances of proxies dying on you mid release and what would otherwise prevent you from solving captchas during a drop.

Residential: Residentials are also not reliable or stable at all to run for activity harvesting or captcha solving. Residential proxies are not dedicated to you only, and it is possible for different IPs from a pool you generated from to be used by more than one person at any single time. This potentially can cause slowdowns, timeouts, dead or banned proxies during a drop since the same proxy/IP is being used by other people at the same time.

Bandwidth

Datacenter: DC proxies also offer unlimited bandwidth. You can harvest all activity from this proxy and then use it during a release without having to worry about using up all of your proxy plan’s data. Activity harvesting can use up a lot of data, so this is a very important factor to take into consideration.

Residential: Residential proxies are generally only offered with limited bandwidth. The amount of data going through your proxies is metered. This means you can’t reliably harvest for Google activity on them. This will not be a good factor for using them in your bot’s captcha harvester, as you still want to maintain the same Gmail account and IP tie, and not being able to harvest activity on that IP will affect the chances of favorable one clicks and high trust score.

Static vs Rotating IPs

Datacenter: DC proxies are dedicated static IPs that will not change, as long as the provider does not replace them for you with a different set later down the line. This is very beneficial for your Gmail account, as it will help you maintain the same Gmail account and IP address tie. Google likes to see this IP stay the same as much as possible, so ensuring the proxy isn’t changing often from the Gmail account is very important.

Residential: Residential proxies are truly never static. While a static proxy by definition is meant to stay the same each request, in reality, it is rotating on the backend of the proxy providers infrastructure, and gives you a new IP within 30 minutes regardless of you using a static residential proxy. A rotating residential proxy simply changes IP every request/refresh of the page going through that proxy. Either way, the proxy IP is constantly changing, and should not be used for Google or captcha services to avoid a flag from the IP of the account changing too often.

Trustworthiness/Cleanliness of IP

Datacenter: The one thing to be careful of when using a DC proxy is the trustworthiness of either the IP or the subnet associated with that IP. Many captcha specific proxies are just old DC proxies from a year ago that are banned on most sneaker websites. Many of these proxies have been flagged by Google by now, and are not seen as trustworthy IPs.

Residential: Since residential proxies are shared IPs and typically come from major providers such as NetNut, Smart, Oxylabs, etc., some have already been flagged for spam or other malicious purposes by Google. Additionally, some residential IP addresses are just stolen IPs from ISPs and can be terminated and/or flagged at any time. This can potentially flag your Google Account temporarily.

To summarize, it is important to remember that getting one clicks and high trust is a combination of both the Google Account itself and the IP address being used to access Google services. From the factors listed above, it is highly recommended to use datacenter or ISP datacenter proxies that are unflagged by Google. Residential proxies are not recommended to use for Google activity harvesting or solving Captchas.

Signs of a Flagged IP

Testing for a Flagged IP

It can be difficult to test if an IP is flagged and not suitable for harvesting right away. The trust in a Gmail account depends partly on IP familiarity, so immediately testing score on an IP that Google doesn't recognize on that account may not show a good score initially, but then go up later after some activity is registered on that IP.

Low Score After a few Days or Weeks

If you've been harvesting a Gmail account for a few days or weeks on an account and it still has a low score of 0.1, then it is possible that the IP has been flagged by Google, and that you should consider swapping the IP to a different one to avoid this flag.

If you're seeing the score reset from 0.9 to 0.1 or 0.3 suddenly, then there is a good chance that the IP you were harvesting on has been flagged by Google. In this case, it is recommended to change to a different proxy.

Google Search from that IP

If an IP is flagged, then you may be prompted to complete a reCAPTCHA challenge before Google displays search results.

You will see a message below the captcha request indicating that Google has detected unusual traffic from your computer network. Avoid using this IP for reCAPTCHA purposes. Flagged proxies are not likely to receive a high trust score or one clicks.

Replacing Flagged IPs

Range of IP Flag

IP addresses can be flagged at either the individual IP level, subnet level, or ASN/network level. At first, it may not be clear just how flagged an IP address can be.

If changing to another IP address from the same subnet does not increase the trust score of a Gmail Account, then it's possible that the entire subnet or network from your provider has been flagged by Google.

Changing Provider

If changing to another subnet from a specific provider also does not help the trust score to increase or recover after a few days or weeks, then it's possible that the providers entire ASN or network has been flagged by Google.

In this case, it may be helpful to switch to a different proxy provider for better chances of getting a good trust score and one clicks on your accounts.

Localhost vs Proxies

You can have at most two Google Accounts running from one IP at the same time. However, it is highly recommended to use trusted proxies instead for a few reasons instead of only running two accounts on localhost at a time.

Being limited to two running Google accounts at a time will significantly slow down your harvesting rate on each account. This means they won’t benefit as much from harvesting in short periods of time as they aren’t able to run as frequently as you could if you were using proxies for each account instead.

As mentioned previously, you want to keep the Google Account and IP address used to harvest activity the same. If you are running accounts localhost, and then running your bots off of a server, then the Google Account will not maintain the same IP used to harvest activity on. If you had harvested activity with proxies in AYCD, Wraith or Essentials, then you would have been able to simply transfer the proxy over to your bot’s captcha harvester and maintain the same IP. Solving captchas from the same proxy used to generate activity will greatly increase your chances of obtaining one clicks and high trust score status during a drop.

Harvesting too many Google Accounts in total from one IP can also have a negative effect on your accounts. If Google starts to trace back so many accounts having activity harvested from one IP alone, it can be seen as abusive behavior potentially that is against their TOS. This may lead to a temporary flag on the accounts that will prevent them from getting one clicks or high trust score. If you are going to go this route, keep no more than 2-4 accounts on one IP to prevent this from potentially happening.

Running two or more Gmail accounts on one IP during a release will simply cause the IP to get flagged faster and get less one clicks as a result. Additionally, if you solve too many from that IP, you will be temporarily banned from reCAPTCHA services for a few hours, or start to get extremely unfavorable captchas such as slow, fading, grainy or multi page captchas.

Number of Accounts on One Proxy

It is generally advised to go 1:1 when harvesting Google accounts on a proxy. This is similar to the reasons stated above for running too many tasks on localhost.

Ideally, you will always be 1:1 for anything Gmail account and captcha related for best possible outcome when harvesting for one clicks and high trust scores, as well as better results during a drop.

Proxies in Harvesters

If using a proxy in your bot’s captcha solver and/or AYCD AutoSolve, ensure it is the one you harvested activity with for best results during a release.
