ScrapeBox users please help

I bought ScrapeBox a couple of days ago. At $2+/- each, I don't have the money to fund 200 or more proxies per day, so I have to use ScrapeBox to harvest the proxies I will need to use. I can't seem to find any information telling me how to harvest these proxies. Anyone has any advice?

Where did you learn how to use ScrapeBox? The documentation seems to be pretty lacking with the software. I found some videos by a Frankie, but they are pretty hard for me to follow. But they don't tell me how to harvest proxies.

Please help so I can get started on my back linking.

    Thank you Scott. Very much appreciated.

    Edit: I had problems with the link, it seems broken for some reason. I tried to find the thread over at BHW but wasn't able to. Can you just poste it in as a regular link? Thanks.

      Warrior Forum automatically turns the word "bl a ck h a t" into BlueFart. That's why I put the "@" sign in place of where the letter "a" should be... in that URL.

        Oh, I always thought that was just a joke. I will try it again and make the changes.

        Thanks

    Go to ScrapeBox Tuts
    these are great tuts for SEO.. plus you can find basic level videos on youtube!!

    and as far as the proxies are concerned! You just need to click on "manage proxies" at the bottom left... then click on "harvest proxies" again on the bottom left in the new window and finally click on start and test the proxies!!

    and its better to buy private proxies!!

    Hope this helps!
    Shiva!!

      How does anyone afford $200 a day for proxies, especially when they are starting out and don't have a lot of money? If I was making $500 a day, I could see it, but right now I don't have any income other than my disability check. I did get a few dollars from AdSense and from selling my site, but my wife has managed to sped much of that for us.

    No offence, but I can tell that you bought SB without having any idea of how it works or how you might properly use it to your advantage.

    I have no idea where you're getting your figures, but there's absolutely no way you're going to need to spend $200/day on proxies to use ScrapeBox. Even if you were using it solely to spam (and I would not condone that at all) I can't imagine a possible scenario where you could burn through $200/day in proxies. To use ScrapeBox in a whitehat way, you don't need any private proxies at all; however, you will need some scraped/public proxies, as Google/Yahoo/AOL/Bing quickly block access if you try to send automated (scraping) requests.

    For the record, I don't use any paid proxies at all. I will tell you right now that if you plan on spamming, the publicly available proxies (that you will get through scraping) are most likely abused and blacklisted by 1000 others before you'll get a chance to touch them.

    Watch those videos posted by scott g, and look up some more on Youtube. There are a bunch of helpful ones.

    Matt,

    You are right, I know nothing about ScrapeBox, other than all the good reviews I have read. I bought it because it was so highly recommended, and I could use it to get lots of back links done for my site building plans.

    As far as SPAMing goes, I intend to be respectful of site owners. But I wish to do enough back linking to get my sites on the first page. I don't expect that to happen over night. But that is my plan.

    I did a short video on youtube showing how I find SMF forums for making my own forum packet lists using Scrapebox. It's OK but I do tend to mumble a bit, but anyway it may help soemone out.

    SweetFunny hangs out at that forum... He's the creator.

    Before every Scrapebox session (almost everyday :p) I go to sites like Proxy-Hunter and load up a couple hundred proxies from that day to test. I re-test the good proxies that I was using the day before to make sure they're still good too.

    I usually have 120-160 good proxies (less than 2000 ping) in my list at all times. I've never, ever paid for a proxy.

    There are some great videos on YouTube too that will get your brain churning!!!

      My favorite use of the tool is looking up a couple competition sites indexed pages:

      site:competion1.com

      Remove dups, Import harvested URLs to Backlink Checker, Download all, and dissect! I like to do one at a time so I when I download the backlinks I save the file as competition1.com.txt

      Toss 'em in the Blog analyzer to see if there's any you can steal real quick Check PR and try to gank their backlinks! Lol!


      I dont' really want to share too many of my tactics!! :p That link has some GREAT resources for the seasoned IMer/SEOer/SEMer/Scraper and will help kick start some novices. Watch the Youtube videos as well.

      Free Proxy sites: Load up like 900 of them in your list and test em. Filter out under 3k ping/latency.

    I have a programmer who is almost ready to release a new product that will give you 100+ fresh level 1 proxies everyday for a one time payment of $29.95 He will be giving away a few for free before offering it as a WSO. If you are interested in being a beta tester PM me.

      You'll should see a thread in the Adsense / PPC / SEO Discussion Forum that says something like "Daily Dose of PROXIES!"

      I decided since people were asking for proxies on here that I mine as well just start posting some. I scan a couple thousand a day b/c I'm an avid Scrapebox user... Keep 200 for myself and post the rest! Better then just hitting delete right?!?!

      CHEERS!

      Sorry WF Mods decided to delete a bunch of my threads. I'll probably be banned soon b/c they're trying to isolate themselves from the rest of what's available on the internet so they can charge for it.

      Visit my site OnHouseArrest for daily filtered and tested proxies. <---- NOT AFFILIATE LINK.

    There are plenty of free proxies out there you can use scrapebox to find. Also for a great tutorial - check out Pat Jackson's Scrapebox training wso. Do a search for his name and you'll find it.

      is scrapebox white hat or black hat?

      Just planning to buy...
      {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[3249521].message }}
  • Profile picture of the author Matt Ward
    It depends what you do with it. It has a blog spamming tool built into it, which is more or less the only "black-hat" thing you can do with it. I guess there's also the email address scraper, which you could use to spam people with: also a BH tactic. Most of the other uses of ScrapeBox make it a tool that is much faster & quicker to gather and compile a lot of information, or in a lot of cases, information that is just not feasible to compile by hand.

    What kind of information? For example, you can quickly get a list of every page on a website, or to gather a list of every backlink a competitor has. You can scrape a list of blogs, and then check and sort them by PR for manual commenting (not spamming). You can use it to quickly go through a list of your backlinks and check if they're still valid or if they're deleted/removed. There are a ton of other things that you can do with it. There's probably a ton of things that people do with it that I haven't even thought of it.

    It's not something that is going to magically get you backlinks with the bush of a button, but you can find your own ways to get them by using it.

      I found my post that was so graciously deleted. I'm not promoting another forum. The creator of Scrapebox posts great information pertaining to his tool over there... That is all. Just providing the best answer to this WARRIORs QUESTION!!!
