INSIDER INFORMATION - What's trending on SWAPD?!

What is currently hot and trending on SWAPD?

The market has shifted heavily toward Google manipulation (Knowledge Panels & Removals) and Crisis Management (Unbans) .

1. Reputation Management (The #1 Trend)

This is the most consistent category with “Successful” or “In Progress” statuses. Clients are paying high volume to scrub the internet.

  • Google Link Deindexing: There is a massive volume of tickets to remove specific news articles and negative links from Google search results.

    • Specific targets seen: “WeedTimes”, “Times of Israel”, “messengernews.net”, “The Smoking Gun”, and various legal/court documents.
  • Review Removal: High success rate for removing bad reviews from specific platforms:

    • Glassdoor (Multiple successful tickets).

    • Airbnb (Review removal is very active).

    • Google Reviews (Specifically for businesses like dispensaries and urgent cares).

    • Trustpilot .

  • Reddit Scrubbing: Removing negative Reddit threads and comments is a very active service.

2. Google Knowledge Panels (GKP)

This service is booming. There are dozens of tickets in progress or successful for:

  • Personal Panels: For individuals wanting to appear famous.

  • Company Panels: For businesses establishing authority.

  • GKP Editing: Tickets for editing existing panels (e.g., “Google Knowledge Panel create personal”).

3. The “Unban” Market (High Volume)

Despite some cancellations, the volume of active and successful unbans is huge.

  • Instagram Unbans: The “Perma case” and “Unappealed” removals are the most common active tickets.

  • WhatsApp Unbans: This is a surprisingly hot niche. Multiple successful tickets for unbanning numbers (specifically +44 UK and +971 UAE numbers).

  • Facebook & Ad Accounts: Recovering “Restricted Ad Accounts” and Business Managers (BM) is steady B2B work.

4. Press & PR (Authority)

Users are buying specific articles to get verified or bury negative press.

  • Top Sellers: Forbes (multiple active tickets), Entrepreneur (Asia/UK), Vents Magazine , IBTimes , Jerusalem Post , and Dailymotion channels.

  • Wikipedia: Creation and editing of Wikipedia pages remain a premium service.

5. Social Media Services (Growth & Swaps)

  • Username Swaps: High-ticket items. Transferring desired usernames on Instagram and TikTok

  • YouTube Services: A very specific hot item is the “Redeemable YouTube Silver Play Button” code. Multiple tickets exist for this.

  • Verification: “Legacy Verification” for Instagram/Facebook and “Meta Verify” bypasses are active.

6. Tools & Niche Services

  • Google Ad Spy: There are multiple active tickets for a service called “Google Ad Spy”. This looks like a trending tool/method being sold.

  • Raya Invites: Consistent sales for the exclusive dating app invites.

Summary of What’s Actually Working:

  1. Scrubbing the Internet: If you can delete a Google link, a Glassdoor review, or a Reddit post, you have endless work.

  2. Google Knowledge Panels: Everyone wants one right now.

  3. WhatsApp Unbans: A quiet but very active niche.

  4. Username Claims: High-value handles are moving fast.

Great information.

Google Knowledge Panels are currently one of the strongest trends on SWAPD. As one of the most active providers here, I’ve completed over 470 transactions, have an 81.8% subcontracting success rate, and have over 170 verified reviews on my profile. Demand for both personal and business panels is growing every week.

If you need a GKP (created or improved), feel free to check out our thread below; I’m happy to help anytime. :slightly_smiling_face: :heartpulse: :pray:

@1999 it would be great to do a new list for “what’s producing successful tickets on SWAPD”

I ask because despite unbans being the 3rd most trending topic, ALL of the unban tickets I’ve had recently (for tiktok, youtube and facebook), have all resulted in failed tickets. So while it’s popular, haven’t had any tickets that have actually been successful.

I have 2 tickets out right now for unbans, and will update this thread if either of them are successful.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Updating this thread as I just had my 10th failed ticket in a row for an unban service.

In all of the cases, the seller had complete information about the banned account and said they were 90% confident or more that the account would get unbanned. All the sellers were VIP or diamond members with 2 exceptions. Hoping that @SWAPD can implement a better feedback system sooner rather than later so in the future it is easier to decipher what sellers will actually be able to deliver on their promises…

We know things can be tough, but you can start by leaving all those 10x failed users proper feedback.

@swapd leaving them negative feedback is an option, but unfortunately if you leave a seller negative feedback, they leave you retaliatory negative feedback and blacklist you from using them in the future. I can’t risk that if they actually do start producing successful results on something my client needs in the future.

If you leave a real feedback and someone fires back at you with a revenge review, contact staff admins and we will review it.

You are attempting to recover accounts that have been dead for over half a decade. To be blunt: you are chasing ghosts.

Most of these pages have been wiped or renamed by the platform years ago. While sellers try their best, they cannot recover what no longer exists. You need to adjust your expectations. If a ticket fails on a 6-year-old remove, that is the standard result. Stop treating ‘impossible’ requests like they are guaranteed services.

Sellers also probably shouldn’t be walking around promising a 90% success rate in cases like this. For an account that’s been banned for over 5 years, 30–40% would be a much more realistic expectation.

I agree with the logic, but there are a few realities that make this hard.

First, if you’re actually honest about success rates, you lose the client. I’ve had it happen myself, you tell them it’s a long shot, so they just go find a seller who’s willing to lie and promise them 90%.

Also, half these “sellers” aren’t actually “experts”; they’re just middlemen who don’t understand the backend. They don’t bother asking about the remove’s age or previous failed attempts. They just assume every case is a fresh remove from a year ago when it’s actually a 5-year-old “impossible” request. And so on

@1999 as I mentioned above, ALL of the sellers that have taken on my tickets have had the full backstory of the accounts I have been trying to recover and the details of the failed attempts. I also don’t want to waste my time and my money being held up in escrow. The sellers have been both diamond sellers and VIPs and have promised 90%+ success rate. I won’t name names, but I also know that some of the VIP sellers that have taken these cases on swore black and blue they were dealing with a associate at the respective social media company to get the account back, only for me to learn later that they were actually just acting as a middle man for someone else doing it and trying to charge a massive mark up on it.

I’d be interested to know what the general success rate was at the moment on swapd for different categories, but for me and others I have spoken to on this platform, it would seem like the success rate has gone down a lot compared to previous years.

Sellers have a lot of residual positive feedback and clout on here for past success, but I’m not sure if that success is as strong as it once was.

And PS: the account that has had the most unsuccessful unban attempts by both VIP and Diamond sellers is only 6 months banned. And I was trying to get swapd sellers to unban it almost as soon as it got banned. So not chasing ghosts at all @1999
