Farming Channels on Dzen: How to Get Featured in Recommendations

Dzen remains one of the key platforms for earning money among arbitrage marketers, bloggers, and those leveraging free or semi-free traffic. However, its algorithms have become more demanding — not every channel gets reach or appears in the recommendation feed.

How can you get featured in Dzen’s recommendations? In this guide, we’ll walk through how to farm Dzen channels correctly so your content reaches the recommendation feed and attracts traffic.

Set Up Profiles in an Anti-Detect Browser with Proxies

To successfully farm Dzen channels, it's essential to create a clean digital environment for each account. This reduces the chance of cross-linking and lowers the risk of bans.

Step 1: Create a New Profile

Use an anti-detect browser like MoreLogin to create a separate browser profile for each channel. This simulates a "new device" with its own fingerprint, OS, and system settings.

Avoid using the same profile for multiple channels. Instead, label them systematically (e.g., “Dzen_1”, “Dzen_2”) for tracking purposes.

Step 2: Connect Residential Proxies

Use residential proxies with Russian IPs to simulate real user behavior and avoid looking like artificial traffic.
Choose a reliable proxy provider that offers Russian regions. Set up the proxy in your browser using login/password or IP authorization, and assign a unique proxy to each profile.

Step 3: Test the Proxy

Before starting, ensure the system detects the correct location:

• Use IP-checking websites like 2ip.ru or whoer.net

• Confirm the IP matches your chosen region

• Ensure proxy or VPN usage is not detected (anonymity score should be high)

Tip:
Don’t skimp on proxies — cheap or public proxies are often blacklisted, which can restrict your Dzen traffic or block your channel from appearing in recommendations.

Registering a New Channel on Dzen

To launch a new channel, go to dzen.ru using a pre-configured anti-detect profile with a proxy. This ensures the platform registers a unique device and IP address, preventing account linking.

Click “Sign in” in the top-right corner. The system will offer several registration options. The best method is to create a new Yandex ID using a fresh email, as it looks most natural to the platform.
Alternatively, you can register via a VK account, but this VK profile must look real — with photos, some activity, and account history.
You may also link a phone number. It must be unique and unused on any other Dzen account. Use trusted SMS services or operators for this.

After registration, fill in basic info: name, backup email, and phone number. Record these details in a table to manage multiple accounts efficiently.

Once registered, you’ll be redirected to the Dzen dashboard. Do not immediately create or post on the channel. Let the profile rest for 12–24 hours to reduce suspicion from the algorithm.

Creating multiple accounts back-to-back from the same IP/device increases ban risk. That’s why each Dzen channel must use a separate profile and proxy. After registration, we recommend leaving the account idle for 48 hours.

Set Up the Channel and Publish Initial Articles

Once your account has rested, proceed to create and configure your Dzen channel.

Log into your profile, go to the channel management section, and set up the following:

• Channel name relevant to your niche

• Avatar: a neutral image or custom logo (avoid stock images with watermarks)

• Description: short, informative, and aligned with your future content

After setup, publish at least five unique articles in a consistent niche. Dzen algorithms favor content consistency, so all initial posts should be thematically linked.
For example, if your channel is about finance, the first articles should cover budgeting, saving, or investments.

Content can be written manually or generated using AI tools. However, even AI-generated texts must be proofread, edited, and made natural.
Ensure 100% uniqueness — avoid copy-pasting. Run content through plagiarism checkers to minimize reach penalties.

Tip:
Avoid trigger topics, banned language, or clickbait titles in your first posts. Focus on safe, expert-style content that appears high quality and trustworthy to Dzen’s algorithm.

Boost Initial Subscribers and Engagement

To kickstart your channel, generate some basic activity using task-based engagement services (буксы).

Assign natural-looking tasks like:

• Subscribe to the channel

• Open and scroll through any article

• Like and comment

Set a symbolic reward — usually around 0.5 ₽ per task — to attract executors without overspending.
Aim for at least 10 subscribers in the beginning. This signals interest to Dzen’s algorithms and helps your content reach the recommendation feed.

Avoid large-scale growth too quickly — a sharp spike in subscribers may trigger suspicion.

Scale Your Channel Farming Strategy

A single channel is unlikely to generate substantial results. You need to operate at scale.

Launch batches of 10–20 channels to build a diversified portfolio and increase the chances of some channels succeeding.

Statistics show only 5–10% of channels gain traction — meaning they get featured, attract subscribers, and generate traffic. The rest may stagnate or die off early. This spread is normal in channel farming.

The more channels you run, the better your odds of finding high-performing topic-format combinations. Scale successful projects while testing new batches in parallel.
