Is it necessary to use proxies to scrape urls with scrapebox. Mine only finds like 10 urls for "travel" for wordpress blogs
#search engine optimization #scrapebox
  • it auto builds comment links on blogs... it actually does a LOT more but that was the selling point

    its about $100
  • i already bought it

    im trying to use it to scrape blog urls with the kw travel in it
    it only found 10
  • Do you need proxys? when searching for blogs to comment on? mine only pulled up 10 urls when i entered "wordpress" and "travel"
    I know there are 1000s

    • I guess nobody uses scrapesbox?
    • i do not use scrapebox ya any other tools only manual
    • I use it. The lack of returns would, i think, be caused by a different error...

      doesnt sound proxy related...
    • what kind of errors pop up when proxy related?
    • I got over 1400 results after removing duplicates.

      Make sure you have the Wordpress radial dial selected and just enter "travel" in the keyword box. If you are doing that and you are only getting 10 results, your proxies are garbage.

    • wonder what they mean by "in quick succession" as in how many per hour
    • You could use ProxyGoblin.
      Kingwarrior has a discount on it right now.
      Here is the link to his sale page if it helps!!
    • yes scrapebox need proxies, i love scrapebox
    • Incidently, you can scrape proxies with scrapebox. They are not the fastest or most reliable ones but they work and they are free.
    • I'm not use proxies.

    • Yes, you need proxies for SB.

      You should use proxies when you're testing other proxies.

      You should use GOOGLE PASSED proxies when scraping from SERPs.

      You should use proxies when mass-checking PR, scraping from Google Images, etc..

      Pretty much just make sure you use proxies.

    • Wow thats going to make market samurai suck, if you want to be looking up multiple keywords
    • I use it too. This result seems awkward. May be your Ip has been blacklisted temporarily by google. I have a dynamic ip and i get lots of results.
    • Let's keep this simple.

      Yes, you absolutely need proxies. Scrapebox without proxies is basically useless. When it comes to harvesting URLs you need good proxies, and lots of them. Don't worry about private proxies here. You'll just burn them out. You need good PUBLIC proxies for the harvester. Don't use the proxy harvester built into SB. It's just awful. Find a good source of constantly updated public proxies and bookmark it.

      For most everything else (especially posting) good shared / private proxies are a huge help.

    • I heard scapebox, sounds powerful and many people use it.
    • I would highly recommend using proxies, as the IP that is submitting the comments, is one of the factors many blogs use to determine Spam comments, and if you posted 1,000's of comments your IP most definitely got flagged. If you are going to try to use Scrapebox without proxies, you need to look for lists of auto-approve links, aka ones that do not have any type of spam filtering.
    • You MUST use proxies with scrapebox when harvesting or commenting. If you have no other choice use the internal proxy sources that come with scrapebox, however those are so overused that they are practically worthless.
      If you can use a custom footprint and harvest some proxy url's then use the proxies or buy private proxies.
    • The internal proxy sites that come with scrapebox suck. You'll get a lot of results, and it will take forever to test them all to find the 50 or so good ones that will likely be dead soon after you find them.

      Try finding your own sites to scrape proxies off of. Just use google to find sites that not every scrapebox user knows about already. Add them one at a time, and test them (one at a time). If the site gives 0 results remove it. More importantly if it gives a lot of results, and they suck remove it to. The goal is to find a bunch of sites with a high percentage of WORKING proxies. It saves a lot of time in the long run.

      It took me 2-3 hours of testing, but I finally put together a list of 15 sites. It gives me a total of 2k results, and usually 100-200 of them work. Much better results then I was getting from the internal proxies.

    • i mine case i make use of the proxy that comes along with scrapebox, what i do is that if am about to scrape for url i first scrape for proxies and test them before using them, next day perform the same routine again before scraping or submitting comments
    • yes you need them to scrape
      and around 10 private to post
      thankfully thats an issue ive
      never had because my job for
      3 yrs has been providing scraping
      proxies over on bhw.
    • Thanks all
    • Good advice in this thread. I am just learning scrapebox and can see the need for private proxies. I'm going to spend a few days learning the ropes before I spend more money though.
    • Check your proxies again or scrape without proxy. Though you might got banned by google for too many searches but without proxy will give you much more result than using proxy.
  • simple rule with scrapebox
    10 private proxies for posting
    lots of public proxies to scrape with.
    dont scrape with private proxies if u search
    large keyword scrapes due to the 3hr ban
    google will gove you

    • 10 will only be enough if you "Remove Duplicate Domains". Some scrapes I'll get 50 different URLs from one domain. If you attempt to post to them with only 10 IPs you can easily get your site blacklisted. Either buy more proxies in this case or take the time to scan your URLs before posting.

  • as for me - I stay away from such tools.

    • That's unfortunate. SB has plenty of white hat uses as well.
  • You have to use proxies for Scrapebox. If it's just for scraping, there are a lot of free public ones.
  • Yes you are not doing it right.

    You can use public proxies to harvest and private to post.

    10 is definitely not enough, on my set up I use about 250 private proxies.

    • 10 is definitely enough. 250, wow. You must be going through 10,000,000+ posts a month.

    • 10 is definitely not enough for scraping. But for posting it's generally fine.

      For scraping I've actually got a text file that I update once or twice a day with 2,000+ public proxies. (From a source outside of the SB proxy harvester.)

  • I wouldn't waste my time scraping with free proxies because they are not going to work except ofcourse, you can't afford paid ips.

    If you acquire IPs from Good proxy company, 10 can be ok to scrape blogs and post as well.

    PM me outwest for a sample of my dedicated proxies.
