WHAT’S THE FASTEST GATEWAY TO GETTING ONLINE VOTES?

August 06, 2021

freedom and everyone’s right to become a self-starter. James is here to share
knowledge and help you succeed with residential proxies.

SmartproxyBlogWhat’s the Fastest Gateway to Getting Online Votes?


Have you ever wondered how some people successfully get online votes for
Facebook competitions, Twitter giveaways, YouTube videos, online lotteries, and
contests? These are the same people who know how to vote multiple times on
Strawpoll. They get all the tags, likes, and retweets, but how do they do it?
The short answer is a vote bot. Yet, the reality is a bit more complicated than
running a simple automatic poll bot, so let’s jump in.


HOW TO VOTE MULTIPLE TIMES ON STRAWPOLL

First, let’s make things clear. We don’t encourage any wrongdoing or cheating.
We are simply sharing information and knowledge. Online content manipulation has
been around since the first online polls. Long ago, you could vote from the same
device as many times as you wanted. Eventually, poll creators caught on and
started limiting responses from IP addresses. Strawpoll, a voting system that
allows creating polls on the web, has also implemented this IP duplication
check. Yet, tech-savvy voters have come up with options to overcome these
obstacles.
The order of actions for voting multiple times on Strawpoll is pretty
straightforward:



 1. Change your IP address
 2. Clear your browser cookies (or use a different browser with a proxy)
 3. Log in to a different account (if the poll requires that)
 4. Vote and repeat

However, if you wish to vote thousands of times, you’ll need an automatic voting
bot. This way, you’ll get online votes fast but face certain limitations. With
an automatic bot, you have to scale a lot of data, including your IP address
pool and the number of accounts. Luckily, a good proxy pool will let you do
both.




GET UNLIMITED PROXIES FOR ONLINE VOTES

The best proxy type for online votes is residential proxies. Period. A
residential proxy is the IP address of a real, unique device, so poll websites
will not suspect any vote manipulation. This is the sole reason why you should
use residential proxies.

> A residential proxy is the IP address of a real, unique device, whose behavior

> Facebook or a random giveaway site.

What about other types of proxies? Most sites easily detect datacenter proxies
and VPNs, so avoid using them for anything more than a couple of votes. Sure,
you can gather an extensive proxy list yourself. Yet, given the rate public
proxies are used these days, most of them will be offline before switching on
your voting bot.


VOTING BOTS

Vote bots offer a few attractive options. They can automate voter actions and
perform them at scale. An autovote bot can sign in to an account, change its IP
address, go to a site, browse around, click on the vote, and even like a post
with no suspicious information whatsoever. However, just a bot is not enough.

You could get thousands of online votes by setting up a bot to do what you need
and integrating a proxy network for it to use. When an automatic vote bot works
in line with a huge residential proxy pool, it can’t be stopped. This is why
most countries avoid online voting, as any data on the web can be (and is)
easily manipulated.




GET MORE ON GIVEAWAYS

‘Share this post and follow us, and the share with the most likes will win.’
Sounds familiar? It most likely does as you see this message on Facebook now and
then. If you participate in such giveaways, you can manipulate the voting in the
same way as the Strawpoll polls.

This is the secret behind those who always win one giveaway after another. They
run a vote bot on their computer or have multiple social media accounts, which
they manage automatically. This is an example of how they stay undetected,
thanks to a residential proxy network like ours.


GET FACEBOOK VOTES

If you have a couple of unused email addresses and want to participate in
different voting competitions, you might register multiple Facebook accounts
using a proxy network. This will let you increase your follower count, create
groups, and like or share your own posts. This also works for any Facebook poll,
where you can use residential proxies with multiple accounts to vote as many
times as you wish.

To make multiple profile management easier, check the latest addition to the
Smartproxy’s set of free tools – the X Browser. It’ll let you hide and control
your digital tire tracks by creating unique fingerprints for each profile. You
will be able to create and manage your profiles through the main window, which
will also include proxy location selection, OS type, time zone selection,
webRTC, and more.


CONCLUSION

Vote manipulation is a tough topic to get into. We believe it’s the poller’s
responsibility to protect the integrity of their platform and any poll results.
Many will try to break the system, while others might use proxies or other
options to do that. Currently, we see these giveaways and online polls as
untrustworthy, and we have no issue with savvy people challenging their
credibility with ingenious tactics.

Using an online voting bot is easy, and with the right proxy network, you will
be unstoppable.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Strawpoll bot?

It’s a voting bot for Strawpoll typically written in Python 3.x. It uses a proxy
list to vote several times in a poll. The bot works on different polls, such as
IP Limitation Checking polls or No Limitation Checking polls. However, it
usually doesn’t work with polls that have captcha protection. The Strawpoll bot
works on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

How do you bot vote in Strawpoll?

To start winning in Strawpoll voting, you will need to set up a bot. There are a
few options available on GitHub. For example, Siaperas or MoonfireSeco. And do
you know the best deal here? It’s that you can set up a bot on your own! We
recommend you use Python as it’s so user-friendly that everyone can develop bots
with it. Those without computer programming skills learn it very quickly and get
a bot developed.

Are free Strawpoll bots safe?

Sure, some services provide free Strawpoll bots. Most such scripts are available
on GitHub, too. However, we don’t recommend this type of bots as you never know
what data they collect while performing a task for you. There are no bots we
vouch for, but our advice is simple: don’t blindly go with the first free
services you discover online.

How do I set up a bot for a specific poll?

To set up a bot, you will need the poll id and the target. The poll id is always
in the url taking you straight to your poll. Let’s take this URL as an example:
https://strawpoll.de/afbch18. Here, the afbch18 is the id. To find the target,
you have to right-click the checkbox you want to vote for. Then, search for a
value starting with ‘check’, for example, check4547864. This is the checkbox id.
