I don't see any real mention of scrapeboard, from the makers of Scrapebox. Anyone care to share their feedback on Scrapeboard? If you have used xRumer or Nuclear Link Blaster, please mention how they compare.

mitoshthewarrior

Well that explains a lot, I guess Scrapeboard isn't out yet, I saw the Belcher button and I assumed it was already for sale.

xrvel

I've just tried it. It works on profile creating well. Yeah there are some bugs but i think it is because scrapeboard is still beta and i bet & believe it will be getting better soon on the next updates.

mitoshthewarrior

What kind of bugs did you run into, anything that affected results? I haver had a chance to try it yet, been using senuke x.

neil_patmore

I have it. It keeps crashing and freezing at the moment. The internal Captcha solver doesn't work and many forum signups fail compared to ABB.

But I'm sure the problems will be ironed out and the software will rock, eventually!

mitoshthewarrior

What is ABB?

xrvel

Here are what success and what are failed

Note : tried on latest SMF & vbulletin that run on my local server with default forum setting & default forum template with these settings :

• No email activation, all users are automatically activated
• Use default captcha, not recaptcha or security answers + questions.

Success :

• Register on the forum.

Failed :

• Internal captcha solver failed to solve default SMF & vbulletin built-in captcha. My opinion about this is : it is normal, lets use decaptcher instead lol.
• On vbulletin user registration, the scrapeboard reports success registration as "failed".

About crash thing, most softwares crash depend on the environment etc. My scrapeboard crashed once and i don't care because sometimes my firefox is crashed too but it doesn't mean firefox is a bad software does it?

Again, i believe this will be fixed on future updates

Jeremy Kelsall

Scrapeboard was never meant to go on sale yet (from what I was told) someone leaked the buy now link and a bunch of people snatched it up, but the tool is still in BETA, and if the developers work on scrapebox is any indication, I'm willing to bet that scrapeboard will be one hell of a tool when the official public release comes.

mitoshthewarrior

I haven't even installed it yet, but I didn't know it had captcha breaker. Does it have the option for deathbycaptcha to use in case you have bad luck with the build it support? I need to set it up myself and start testing it. I picked up an advanced copy through them so I would have it as I know in time it will rock.

mitoshthewarrior

It is open now, if you go to scrapeboard.com it is available. I actually bought it through them privately before it was open.

xrvel

Yes it has deathbycaptcha and decaptcher support.
you can check the image below.

mitoshthewarrior

Can't really see the image, it is tiny and very blurry but I take your word for it. I'll probably install it tonight or tomorrow.

Have you had much luck using it, or should I still wait to do anything serious with it.

xrvel

You can click the image to enlarge
Personally, I guess we should wait until scrapeboard is 100% finished.
But with some bugs that i found, it still can be used normally at this moment imho.
Which means the bugs don't interfere the main function of this software.

mitoshthewarrior

I see it now, I couldn't enlarge before.

Does it actually have a captcha breaker built-in so you don't need captcha services once it is fixed?

xrvel

Yes, it has built-in captcha breaker but this far it still can't solve default smf & vbulletin captcha.
I guess this could be improved later by the update

mitoshthewarrior

It doesn't even mention that in sales letter, even more excited about it.

neil_patmore

Auto Backlink Bomb.

May have been fixed in the update today. Change log mentioned the freezing during account signup was due to captchas and has been fixed.

So far I've tried ity with a 10k SMF list and no freeze :-)

Internal decaptcher is still flakey and the successful signups seem low but there's no doubt that this software is going to be good.

cypherslock

There's also a cheaper alternative: ForumBot | Creating One Way Backlinks with Forum Profiles couldn't get any easier or faster than with ForumBot

aulia

the only weakness of scrapeboard is it can't break captcha itself so you need to have decapcther balance to resolve captcha engine.

Xrumer can resolve captcha itself, so you don't need pay extra fee for decaptcher

Jeremy Kelsall

With forum profiles that adds up. It's not uncommon to scrape a list of 100K+ forums which I did, and ran them through SICK SUBMITTER, and the cost to me was real close to $80 if I remember right.

If you're going to do forum profiles in mass, it's cheaper to outsource it.

mitoshthewarrior

Actually, Scrapeboard can break captcha without external services, but it is limited right now and it isn't fully implemented. Judging by Scrapebox track record, in time it will be on-par with xRumer.

mitoshthewarrior

Agreed #1, 2nd point, although I would like to agree, just not sure how reliable someone else would be to get it done the way you like.

Jeremy Kelsall

They are forum profiles....How many different ways are there to do it? lol

mitoshthewarrior

True, but they may not get done, and I don't want to have to verify all the work.

Jeremy Kelsall

errr...

So, to do say, 100K profiles, you would prefer to spend a couple hours of your own time scraping a list, then spend $100 posting to those URL's one time, rather than paying someone else a few bucks and then spend 2 minutes checking their work with something like scrapebox?

I don't know about all that dude...lol

Edit: I just wanted to make something clear...I'm in no way suggesting that people should always get someone else to do backlinking. Personally, I have software set up and run it on my own server for blog commenting, but forum profiles, because typically you want them built in such large numbers, especially if you have more than 3 or 4 sites just don't make sense to do them yourself. Unless you are OK with paying out the ass for captchas, and have many hours to kill scraping and posting.

With that being said, there are many out there that always have to be in control...that's just how it is. When scrapeboard is cut loose to the general public, and all the bugs are worked out, there is no doubt in my mind that it is going to be an awesome tool.

BUT

There are some things you have to be careful of....

If you run the software from your PC, and don't use proxies (good ones) there is a "good" chance that at some point you are going to get a call, letter, or email from your ISP. We get 3 or 4 complaints from our dedicated server a week...when you tag so many sites, your bound to get a few people that will take a couple minutes to try and get you shut down.

mitoshthewarrior

I wouldn't, I would have my VAs do it. The problem is the ones used by other parties are spammed to hell and back. Have you had good luck with any service that has proven results?

MikeFriedman

I like most of Incansoft's products, but with pretty inexpensive tools out there like Sick already, I wouldn't recommend this one.

Jeremy Kelsall

Unless you are actually posting to forums...I don't think that the number of people that got there before you really matters

I own a service that does it, but I'm not trying to pitch it. I was just giving my take on doing profile links in big numbers....

The first month that I got sick submitter - which is VERY GOOD...I spent over 10 hours scraping,sorting, and testing, and had a captcha bill of right around $300 for the month.

You can have a TON of profile links built for you for a fraction of that, and in most cases spend no more than 20 minutes of your own time to have them done...No VA's, no captcha costs, and none of your own time which is obviously more profitable, and better spent doing other tasks, like creating content, products, or driving traffic in other ways.

To me, it's the same as setting up blogs...

Why the hell would I spend 30 minutes of my time doing it, when I can get someone on fiver to set up 2 of them for me complete with plugins, for $5?

cypherslock

True, it is monthly though, which some don't like. And for others, they may already have most of the catalog already

Jeremy Kelsall

The cool thing about monthly is that you can cancel and sign back up

When I first started, I would subscribe to tools like SENUKE for a month, use the hell out of them, and then cancel...build all my stuff back up, and then subscribe for another month. You miss out on a ton of powerful tools if you limit yourself to things that only offer a one off.

Especially with SEO stuff...

Nothing is REALLY one off (for the most part)

Proxies
Captchas
Server space
etc
etc

As far as having most of the catalog - I doubt it

Most of the providers that I know and talk to have MILLIONS and MILLIONS of sites in their database that were either acquired through months of scraping, or via paying a fairly decent sum.

cypherslock

Well, ok fine A LOT of the Bots. Hadn't thought of doing it that way. Might be a bit different though as one dev I know actually blocks your email if you cancel. So you need to get it unblocked. Still, that's a good idea. I knew there was a reason I liked you!

Gary Pettit

I'm a bit of a software junkie and because I liked ScrapeBox I went ahead and purchased ScrapeBoard....I'm sure it will only get better with updates. These guys are usually good with adding new features and wanted to get in before any price increases. Also if you do a google search "scrapeboard discounts" you will find promotion links for $50 off the price. I paid $97.00 with free lifetime upgrades. Regular price is $147.00 at the moment.

Jeremy Kelsall

What url are you guys buying it from?

when I got to the scrapeboard main site, the payment buttons still aren't working...

mitoshthewarrior

I bought it offline through them directly. It looks like your right, it still isn't available to the public.

Gary Pettit

Jeremy...Just sent you a PM

neil_patmore

Yep it does add up with Scrapeboard at the moment. Additionally, the signup success rate is very low. I took a 1K 100% success rate SMF list which I've built up over time and put it through Scrapeboard. I got 221 signups AND I got charged for over 900 decaptcher breaks.

They'll get there.

xrvel

Weird, i can see "add to cart" button on its homepage.

List building is just the start. Once we get the magic list, everything will be easier

blur

Just a little drop that I am selling my scrapeboard license for $45.

I'm getting out of the 'biz' and need to sell my IM software to invest in an offline venture.

**I have made sure through the developer that I can transfer the license as to make sure a successful sale. I can show you the email I got from them ok'ing the transfer.

This is a steal as this tool is/will be the next hottest thing since xrumer

msg me for info

Droopy Dawg

Yeah the button is there, but when you click it nothing happens.

Their testimonial boxes all say:

I'll wait until they're up and running fully... OR... if someone has one of those cool discount links I'd greatly appreciate it if someone slips one to me

DeShon

Tengalon

Go to scrapeboardtutorialdotcom and you will find a link there to buy it at a discount. For the record, I am not affiliated to the site or scrapeboard. It is a site where I bought my own copy for a discount over the weekend. Incidentally I think that this is already one hell of a software - beta or no beta. Been using it to scrape URLs since I bought it three days ago and already I've got my money back. It does'nt matter if the posting side is working properly or not, there are other software out there that you can get for $60 and they will do your posting for you with ease. My problem has always been where to get hold of quality forum links and this baby does it with a smile on it's face.

4morereferrals

Wow dooood - you spent like 2-3 hrs trying to unload that soft.

Droopy Dawg

Thanks for the link! And its actually scrapeboardtutorialSdotcom

blue_sky

how does it compare to sicksubmitter in terms of speed - imo one of the biggest issues with sick - it is slower than my grandmother...

younganddirty

Most of Incansoft sucks.

How is the captcha with scrapeboard now. I heard before it sucks, people where spending a lot of money just on that

From what I read so far about scrapeboard to me it is not worth the 97 dollars. Maybe 30-40 dollars

neil_patmore

It's getting better and better with every update. Interneal captcha solver still needs some work but it will get there. Definately worth the $97 now.

xrvel

You're right, internal captcha solver is evolving from the initial version.

It was suck, couldn't solve ANY captcha.

But since last update, it starts to solving default captcha for SMF / phpbb although of course success rate is not 100% maybe 50-70%.

Droopy Dawg

Looks like Scrapeboard is live... and out of "BETA". There are a bunch of videos on Youtube of Scrapeboard in action... looks like I'll be pulling the trigger soon.

xrvel

Updates were released quite often, sometimes once every 2 days lol.

mikeybobikey

Be sure not to confuse Icanhsofts ForumBot with the other more credible competitor Forum Bot. Bing 'Foum Bot' and compare it to scrapeboard. Its newer and already has better success rates, auto captcha solving and wider variety footprints supported.

redbusiness

yes thats right, but dont you think scrapeboard will become lots of updates over the next months?
