Guerilla Instagram Tactics
This may not be the most appreciated marketing effort but it is one that works. When an account posts a photo in Instagram, you can make comments. When you make a comment, your hyperlinked profile name appears in the body of the post. This is a great way to build a following or drive people to your profile, which can then drive people to your site. But there are ways to do this without being a total jerk. Since this is not the most appreciated method of marketing you should follow some guerilla etiquette.
1. Don't just post a link to your site- most people will remove this.
2. Dont just tell people to come to your profile.
3. Dont say anything negative about the original post.
4. Don't troll.
5. DO - say something nice or relevant about the photo. You can allude to yourself like "I love that bikini reminds me of the photo set I posted last week."
6. DO - post a comment without saying anything. This is a bit of a grey area. It basically tags you in the post. All that is seen if your screen name, which links to your profile. Some people may delete your comment for doing this but many will leave it.
Good luck!
Comments
I have used this technique and it works, however a lot of instagram's system is automated and algorythmic, and instagram's bots will look for accounts that leave a lot of comments and see that as a red flag, so my advice is if you want to leave comments, only do one or two and do them on accounts with huge followings to get the most bang for your buck.

good info
some excellant points made 7veils. Nothing wrong with showing your content, it's business, that is what we're all here for.
However, to say something nice about the original images & not troll's the only way to create a well established business.
