I too am new here. I am here trying to learn how to effectivly build backlinks to my websites. From what I have gathered so far SB will help you build backlinks by automating blog commenting. I think it has more uses but not sure what they are.

I am considering purchasing Bookmarking Demon or ScrapeBox for building my backlinks. I think BMD builds backlinks from social bookmarking sites, as opposed to SB builds backlinks from blog comments. I do not know which is better, and I cannot afford to buy both. Perhaps there is a professional who can suggest which is better.

What is scrapebox - ScrapeBox – Harvest, Check, Ping, Post
Is it a good tool - Yes (For people aiming for short term rankings, not bothered about panda slap)
Should SB be the primary tool for building backlinks? - If you want to stay in Google for a long period I wouldn't use much of scrapebox (How long you think spam blog comment links will keep you on top?)

Do Note - Its my personal opinion based on my research, findings, experiments, as i work with clients who want to stay on Google for a pretty long time & not get spot 1 for a week and disappear somewhere

hope it helps~

There may be people who oppose my post, but again its my personal research, findings & experiments.

Scrapebox is a automatic blog commenter, with a lot of options that makes it quite a valuable tool. Blasting out a lot of blog comments will typically get those comments deleted as spam as there is no way to make them pertinent to the post. But if you use Scrapebox to harvest the posts and maybe determine the page rank, you can go back and post comments manually. If you read the post and make your comment on the post, then you will probably get most of them to stick.

While this only applies to blog commenting, and I think forum posting, you don't want to ignore the other types of back links as you need a variety to do the best.

Thank you @timpears and @BudgetSEO

I don't have enough post yet, so I don't have the option to thank you properly

You can scrapebox to find competitors backlinks. That's a main advantage of this tool. Don't blast mass amount of comments to money site. Use it for web 2.0 properties and Articles.

SB has a notorious reputation for spamming comments because it is so good at it but it can be use for many good things as the two quoted posts I have here above state.

It can also sort all sorts of the data for you when you find all this stuff.

Yeah, SB has a pretty bad rep. Just ONE of the literally hundreds of different things it can do is mass commenting. (And it does it pretty well, too.)

I primarily use it to locate DoFollow / moderated blogs though. Instead of blasting away at a bunch of random blogs.

Thank you everyone for your advise. Scrapebox sounds like a very powerful tool. Will it be able to give me an accurate list of the backlinks I do have. I need a tool that will let me save a list of backlinks that I have, a tool that I have.

If SB can do this I am guessing that the list will only be the backlinks that are already indexed. Is this correct, or is SB able to give me a list of my backlinks that are not yet indexed.

you can use it to import a URL list and check to see the percentage of URLs in your list that are indexed. You would want to use proxies of course for this action.

You can import a list of sites that you've created backlinks on. SB will scan the list pretty quickly and tell you which links are active. You can even run these through a dofollow / nofollow check afterwards.

As my questions to follow will show, I'm completely clueless as to what Scrapebox does, and more importantly, as to the effects it ultimately has on the URL used in conjunction with it, once it does whatever it does.

Is it safe to use it on one's main websites, or a client's sites, were I to buy it and offer it as a service? Or, will doing so cause irreversible damage, in terms of permanent rankings, down the road?

Or, if using it on a "money site" isn't the safest route, and if it isn't, kindly explain why not, what is a less risky way of using it (if there is such a thing)?

Finally, how effective is it with regards to effective rank building?

Thanks for any expert advice anyone can offer me.
