  • Oh and PS....at the bottom of the review I give you a free method on what DOES work and will ALWAYS work if you want to make money with Adsense.

    • Could not see this. All I saw was an Adsense ad which promoted what is stated below.

  • SB is more than just an automated blog commenter. The endless plugins allow you to carry out various SEO tasks in minimal time. I rate SB higher than SEO Powersuite. I think your review was limited as you only tested one function of SB.

    SB is more than a toy, it is a loaded SEO weapon

    • Oh really? Show me the money. Show all the traffic you are getting from using Scrapebox, and show me the profit you are making from using Scrapebox.

      If you mean a "nerf ball" weapon....maybe.

      Nope. I used all of the function SB has to offer, and none of thier bells and whistles will ever result in a long-term flow of cash.

      Many claim that SB is a powerhouse, but in the end it will not get results. Obviously, you didn't read the entire review.

    • Completely agree here.

      Most people don't use scrapebox in any effective manner. Auto commenting with the fast poster on auto approve blogs is only one tiny feature that makes up the majority of what newbies use the tool for.

      It's SCRAPE functions are incredibly powerful, I've never found any other tool that even comes close to scrapebox for that.

  • Well guys. The scraping function scrapes dupe content and the plugins are useless in the long run too. Your competition is getting tougher....not weaker.

    Like I keep saying, their plugins are simply toys, and the result you want is traffic and money.

    Scott....that little blip site my niece through together is making her between $2-$4 bucks a day, so no competition YES.....no traffic? Incorrect.

    No keyword tool is ever going to tell you the exact amount of searches on keywords. I make over $1300 from keywords that won't show up in any tool.

      And how much did you make last month with your vast knowledge of search engine algos?

  • There are plenty of very positive reviews for SCB. I also a heavy user for researching part than submitting with this tool. Specially I like the advantage of addons.
  • SB is a tool which is GREAT, but not primarily for directly getting backlinks by spamming blogs.

    I am a little surprised you have that review up now, i am using SB for a LONG time already.

    First..it helps you to find all kinds of sites, checking PR, getting fresh proxies or find sites where you can manually comment.

    Secondly, you can use it in your link building for multi-layered backlinks similar to Xrumer.

    While the actual spam backlinks are CRAPPY *in itself*...so you could use them to blast web2.0 properties or articles...to create many "low quality" tier 2 backlinks to your tier1 buffer sites...and so forth...

    As a tool and because it is VERY flexible what you can do with it i still think its a great tool (value <--> benefit ratio is great!)....but you simply cannot think that all you need to do is blast 20.000 crap spam comment links and then you will rank for any keyword.

    • That is because I took the time to utilize the tools and plugins that come with SB, and gave the search engines time to do some caching before I jumped at an opinion.

      Not worried about other people's opinions that much. I know what works, and what doesn't.

      The people that are making good money at this know what works too, and they will likely tell you that HONESTLY, SB does not actually improve their bottom line.

      Interesting to see the HOT loyalty some have for SB though. That is quality marketing.
  • If you can't see the many incredible uses of Scrapebox then I feel sorry for you. To completely dismiss a tool that so many others have had success with is just naive, and then to mock people by saying "show me the money". Do you think people are lying to you about how Scrapebox helped? For what gain? Scrapebox isn't for you, thats fine but the soapbox preaching of how terrible it is when you obviously didn't use it in the same fashion as many of its supporters is just ridiculous.
    • [1] reply
    • I used in the exactly the same ways other have used it. You think I'm new at this game friend?

      It's not ridiculous to state that your time is MUCH better off spent doing other things with your domains. Most importantly....writing good content every day, or having good writers add content to your domains.

      It's a priority thing, and this forum is where many voice their opinions on tools. This is MY opinion, and if that offends people I don't care. I can't control how much they get their panties in a bunch over it.

      You can call it soapbox preaching if you wish - that is your choice. It's a thread that voices an opinion. Because some people get really upset about it, doesn't make their opinions more valid.
  • I think a "show me the money" approach confirms the limited knowledge and expertise of the op.

    Can you really prove exactly how many cent every single activity you carry out makes? Of course your can't.

    Both in your "review" (if you can call such a badly written piece a legitimate review) and in this thread you have failed to talk about 90% of the functions of SB, rather you are making broad statements like "All these so-called SEO scripts are pieces o sh*t"

    I'm assuming that you're actually trolling, and this is a pure link bait post on WF. Either that or you genuinely don't know what you're talking about.

    Which is it?

    • I would say that the "show me the money" argument does hold water. I do know exactly why our domains get traffic, from where, and how it happened. I mean you do too I would assume.
  • There is more to Scrapebox than Backlinking and Blog Commenting etc.

    I use it a lot to do my research on domains before purchasing and it has more than paid for itself by that alone. It checks PR of a domain, scrapes their backlinks, checks the PR of their backlinks, checks the validity of the backlinks a lot faster than more expensive tools.

    I also use it for researching end users or finding domain buying opportunities using the Harvest Tool.

    I use it to track my own backlinks to know which ones are active and use those results to manage future efforts.

    That is pretty much all I am using it for at the moment but in the past I used it a lot more for footprint harvesting - mainly to trackdown competitors. It is a wonderful tool but not everyone needs that power or knows how to use it.

    • I will have to agree with TZ here, and say scrapebox is not a great tool when you if comes down to traffic and making money. Now is scrapebox a worthless tool? Of course not, because there's so much other indirect things you can do with it, and based on the price point it should be considered a good tool.

      But what I think TZ is talking about and trying to explain is does this tool actually make money for you, and that's the bottom line of mostly all tools. And that's where I have to agree with him in that Scrapebox doesn't really do nothing to internet marketers bottom line.

      I have used scrapebox and tested it and my findings are with the time I put in using this tool, it wasn't helping me make money directly. I even used professional services with used scrapebox, and the benefits were very minimal (in terms of ranking ) to say the least.

      However, with me saying that I wouldn't tell a fellow IM not to use it. I would just tell em that when it comes to ranking and building authority, their ROI will probably be very minimal.

      That's just my two cents....
  • WOW...Scrapebox is probably the most powerful tool that most people can afford. Apparently you have no unlocked the full power for both backlinking and finding URLs.

    Rarely would I jump on someone like this...but what a terrible review.
  • I use scrapebox only to find high PR blogs and manually post comments. I never use any other feature from scrapebox. In my opinion, it is still useful for blog commenting. Of course, if you are saying blog commenting is useless to SEO, then that's a different story.

  • Come on, we're all marketers here and we can't see through what is happening?

    1. Guy writes controversial "review" on his site and plasters his own affiliate links and "white hat" service ads all over it
    2. Guy posts thread with attention-grabbing and controversial subject line on high-traffic SEO/IM forum and just links to his site with the "review"
    3. ???
    4. Profit

    • That would be the case if that was the only post on his blog, but his blog has some decent content on it....Also I don't think bashing scrapebox as a seo tool is such a controversial review or subject line. It's just one man's point of view about one tool...

      Now bashing SENuke X at this point and time probably would be a marketing trick

      In all honestly we all need to take a chill pill.

    • Actually, it's not all marketing. I think there allot of tools out there that are questionable, and this is one of them. But it's funny you know. Most all of us here are marketers, and it's amazing how many people complain about people having their products in their sig.

      So you are saying that if my sig was empty, THEN my argument would be valid? Really?

      "Not sure about your detective work there Lou...."
    • LOL. Don't forget the clickbank affiliate link for the scrapebox training product in his review.

      Maybe he got the inspiration from Rich Jerk.

      I'm sure he has seem some affiliate commission thanks to Scrapebox by now.
  • I think he is just saying you are using this thread to get traffic to your blog.

    There have been several people telling you that Scrapebox has a large amount of uses not covered by your review - that makes them plenty of money. It isn't questionable. It does exactly what it says it does. It is constantly updated and very well supported.

    The problem as you are using it isn't the software anyway. The problem is with blog commenting. Scrapebox does make that easier but it isn't the sole or even the primary purpose of the software.

    Scrapebox lets you scrape all sorts of data. This has BH and WH uses that really help streamline or upscale many processes. If you can't see the value in that or can only see one use for it then don't blame the software.

    • It saves me time (lots of it) doing things that I would be otherwise doing manually.

      I pretty much never use it for blog commenting. I have a list of auto approve blogs that I will use occasionally to get something indexed faster.

      I use it for tons of other things though. It does in minutes what would manually take me hours. That is how it makes me money.

      Anything that is saving me time so that I can focus on other things, is worth a lot more than $57.


      This review is completely flawed. If you wanted to make an argument that the tasks that Scrapebox completes are not worthwhile in your opinion, that is one thing. However, Scrapebox does exactly what it is advertised to do. It works efficiently and without bugs.

      This review is about the same as someone who doesn't watch TV trying to say that televisions are useless.

  • Well you know guys, I can admit when I've been barking up a bad tree, or burrowing down the wrong rabbit hole, and after all the firm comments in this thread, I had to give Scrapebox another try.

    To help me put a bought an ebook that helped me. Yet another ebook - man, I must have bought over 30 different ones of the years. Like collection baseball cards.

    So yeah.....I swallow my pride and eat my crow.

    You fail building the shed, then write a review that the hammer sucks...

    I will put all your concerns at rest. Since you love screenshots, here's a screenshot of how much I made in 2011 so far by using ScrapeBox:
