Problems getting links with GSA for tier1

You would think so with all the automation software boasting on their homepage how it submits to thousands of sites. Not so much. In fact, of the sites most software lists as sites they submit to, only about 20% actually work. Most of them, their list is either so old that they don't exist anymore, don't accept new signups, are now paid, don't post contextual links, etc etc. I'm not putting the software down (yes i am), it's just a fact. When a submission software website says words like 'thousands', they are more talking about 'possible' sites, only with that you would have to include your own list of sites like wiki sites, WPMU, and other platform sites. That's GSA's strength. I personally wouldn't use these for tier 1 though. Just some thoughts

This may sound stupid, but are you using proxies? If not, it could be a problem of Google blocking your IP and GSA not being able to scrape targets.

The same thing could be happening if you are using bad proxies.

It's probably best to try the GSA forum for detailed advice about this.

GSA Forum is the best place for you, really. There are so many things it`s hard to mention everything here (((:

The first thing is you should avoid checked search engines cos it will slow you down a lot. Make your 1st tier reverified every 24 hours, then build 2nd tier to it, use good indexing service (send to indexing service - other) with drip feed . Inedxing is very important, undindexed backlinks are useless, and completely waste of your time.

For scraping target sites purchase GSCRAPER, using GSA as a scraper is waste of its potential, GSA SER is the best in posting, not scraping, GSCRAPER do it a lot faster and more effective. So unchecking search engines should speed up a lot your submission process. This what I could advice you to improve your speed yet are check only 3 platforms (if you need a highest speed only) , limit your platforms to

- buddypress
- xpressengines
-drupal

I am processin huge lists on dedi and see those 3 are the most succesfull so on the rest my GSA SER waste the time only. Once I check only those 3 platforms my LPM increase over 100, sometimes 140-150 depending on how many private proxies I am using and how good condition is my list. If you need more diversify of course whole process will be a lot slower. If you want to increase them on other platforms you could also decrease the timeout but the risk of that is you will limit amount of target sites you will be able to post, cos some of them are not on very fast hostings so they response is not very fast. It`s all depends on this what you need, if you require more diversify you have to agree with lower LPM, it`s normal, and even 100 private proxies will not gives you more than 40-50 LPMs (response time of target sites), but if you need a speed for your 2nd tier, you can limit to those 3 platforms and get over 100 LPMs.
