[HOW TO] Scrape 1000's of targeted emails -with footprints-

ardley216 · Jan 26, 2012

The other day I saw a thread on how to scrape emails with SB, I'm sure most of you will already know this method, but I have been optimizing the footprints for it, and a little guide

1. Get SB (lol...). Run it.
2. get some good proxies! lol
3. in the harvester section put one of the below footprints:

a. footprint to harvest emails from contact us pages

Code:

inurl:"Contact-Us" "hotmail.com" OR "gmail.com" OR "yahoo.com" *keyword here*

b. facebook page email scraping

Code:

site:facebook.com inurl:page "hotmail.com" OR "gmail.com" OR "yahoo.com" *keyword here*

c.forum email scraping

Code:

 intext:"powered by phpbb" "hotmail.com" OR "gmail.com" OR "yahoo.com" *keyword here*

4. you can either put the keyword in the custom footprint box or scrape some keywords and shoot from there. Once you've done that hit "start harvesting"
5. once you have a billion urls (maybe

), click grab, and gab emails from scraped list.
6. export, sort, and SPAM!!!

Optional: use the "time" option to get the latest emails - I tend to use within one month

Some of you will already know/do this, but I'm pretty sure this will be helpful to alot of other people!

THANKS and enjoy!

The problem with this is that ScrapeBox will scrape emails that a normal user can't view (Hidden and used for spamtraps) so be carefull. But amazing method

I usually just SQLi and steal the database from related sites. But not every one will be ub for doing that as it's ratehr time consuming.

ardley216 · Jan 26, 2012

Ah, Is there any software to filter out these spamtraps?

seoguru13 · Jan 26, 2012

I tried this something on similar lines and got a shitload of aaa.yyy.com kind of email id's. If there is a way to crack that, your trick can be bloody awesome!

ardley216 · Jan 26, 2012

well, I guess i would write a short piece of code saying something along the lines of:

IF [any given character] repeats more than [x] times, then delete.

Yeah I'm sure there's a way of doing that, the best way would be:

intext:"footer text" "hotmail.com" OR "gmail.com" OR "yahoo.com" *keyword here*

I need someone to perform this service for me. I have a list of sites that I need emails from. PM me if you are interested.

ardley216 · Feb 24, 2012

"*.*@exxonmobil.com" inurl:xls
"*.*@exxonmobil.com" inurl

df
"*.*@exxonmobil.com" inurl

df attendee
"*.*@exxonmobil.com" inurl

df directory
"*.*@exxonmobil.com" inurl

df conference
"*.*@exxonmobil.com" inurl:csv

Use outwit docs to collect the results, download, run through email extractor.

I used to get 60k emails a day, all b2b

Also, download all the serp results locally, and run them through emailbusiness' email extractor.

ardley216 · Feb 27, 2012

Thanks for that.

I did a similar things, and scraped quarter of a million emails in CSV files haha

my method here. (you can use this method without scrapebox)

footprints to find targeted emails:

Code:

site:some-targeted-forum.com "@gmail.com"

Code:

site:some-targeted-forum.com "@hotmail.com"

Code:

site:some-targeted-forum.com "@whatever.com"

Code:

site:somesite.com "@whatever.com"

use AutoPagerLite firefox plugin to show all google results in one page. then copy all page and paste in a txt file. then use Email Extractor Express software to scrape emails from .txt file.

ardley216 · Mar 3, 2012

ah thanks for that dude, ill try it out now

Salezman · Mar 5, 2012

what is the best free email harvester?

ardley216 · Mar 9, 2012

Ahh, I had a good one somewhere, scraped a good 100k from a particular website, was very nice... had the word "spider" in it, was very buggy though.

Can you tell me how to configure autopagerlite to show all google results?

EDIT: NVM, 'twas simple enough

rodol · Oct 8, 2012

i dont think you can scrape facebook emails like that

SEOwned · Oct 8, 2012

Does anyone know the law on spamming?
1) What happens if I get caught by a spam trap?
2) Could I get fined for spamming scraped emails?
