    The real question here is what is it that scrapebox doesn't do? Of all the IM software I own it is probably the most used.

    I use it for harvesting more than anything else. It's soley because of scrapebox that I never ever run out of places to get links from. Aside from that you can do blog commenting on a mass level. I use this for my feeder sites and Web 2.0 properties.

    Aside from that you can do pr checking, boost ezine article views, rss pings, meta indexing, alexa rank checker, a whois scraper, a backlink checker, an MP3 player, chess, a fake PR checker, and a whole lot of other stuff that I can't think of right now.

    I actually don't understand why it's so cheap. If I were the creator I'd be selling it for $127 at the very least.

    All in all it is a definite must have tool IMO.

      On a daily basis, I use it for:

      (1) harvesting/scraping sites (whether blogs, forums, my own sites, whtatever);

      (2) mass PR checking

      (3) mass index checking

      (4) mass "alive" check to see if the page is still alive

      On a weekly basis I use it for blog commenting.

          IMHO, SENuke is definitely better than the other pretty much fully automated options like evo or something. Some of the little things in it I like, as it has a great bulk pinger built into it. if you have a few sits its probably not worth it. If you have a lot of sites and you like automation, it can be worth it. They have a fairly active forum which is nice too, so people can share tactics and what not.

              Hi Mike,
              I am curious if you do SEO for the adult industry. I have an adult affiliate website that will be launched within a few weeks. I am a newbie at affiliate marketing. However, I've done a ton of research and I've learned a mountain of info on SEO. So many different opinions out there...It gets confusing. Please let me know. I will stop at nothing to get this site to work. I would eventually like to have a number of affiliate sites in different niches. I'm the single mom, no child support bull****, you've heard it before and I very tired of living paycheck to paycheck. Can you help?
              Thank you for your time.
              Cheers,
              Rainy

            What can't this program do? Hell the guy updates it so often I can't even keep up. Really cool piece of software... Ya SENuke is a good option as well, I couldn't go without both!

              I had a problem with their support. Here is the deal. I run a business here in the Philippines. I have over 10 computers I use for by SEO. Lately I had two computers go on me. Each time I reinstalled Scrapebox and each time your support team was kind enough to send me an email to to validate my license.

              Now the same thing happened again. According to your support I am no longer allowed to use Scrapebox or shall I say you will no longer validate my license for the rest of this month.

              Your support person mentioned that I Did Not read the TOS. It's true. I really had no idea that your software license could only be verified one extra time per computer for 1 month. And why is this not said in the email you send to customers with their validation code and so on?

              Which means that if someone gets a virus or their hardrive calves they are allowed to validate that computer for 1 time only per month! If it happens again they are out of luck!

              I just wonder if there isn't a better way of doing this?

              Here is the email message I received from Scrapebox:

              "If you get a virus and need to reformat your machine, then yes as I said there’s provision for a free transfer every month."

              Regards, ScrapeBox Support.



              I will miss my Scrapebox but now I am looking at Sky High Linker since I cannot use my Scrapebox anymore."

                Yeah, that is kind of annoying.

                But I suggest that everyone creates an image of their drive after installing SB. Virus, exploding HD? Just restore the image and you're good to go.

    I don't use Senuke. I don't have any use for it personally. I think Tom uses it though. Maybe he can shed some light on the subject..
