That's a good setup. The biggest problem with GSA is you are going to run 100,000 links to have maybe 1,000 effective. So in essence, you are doing 100X the work that you could do with other tools.
What other tools would u suggest to use or are in your toolbox? Or are not even using any tools?
Your setup looks solid. You might also want a catchall email service or disposable email provider if you're posting at scale. Some people also use extra captcha services like 2Captcha for tougher platforms. Your VPS specs are fine for starting out, but more power helps if you run big projects. I'm running similar but with 20 private proxies and using GSA SER + Captcha Breaker only.
Yea gonna get also a email service so that I have the emails for it.
Did you scrape your own list or did you buy one?
Skip GSA CB. It’s not very good. Get Xevil 6. Don’t buy into the preorder for Xevil 7. You’ll also need ipv6 proxies for solving recaptcha. You can get those are reproxy.io that’s what I use.
I think you’ll have better results with Ranker X or SeoNeo if you’re just starting out. GSA SER is not that great on its own because many engines are not maintained and it doesn’t make that many contextual links anymore.
Yea also got the free version of Xevil but havent added any proxies to it.
I tested scrapebox links as tiered one and they worked okey, like for nothing competitive, so I saw GSA SER as the next step to it as I see it as the most mentioned one.
Ranker X will be likely the next but first want to do some test and get some juice out of the tools I have and then look for other things to add.
Currently do tier 1 cloud links and then Scrapebox and GSA on top of it.
Cheap ovh dedicated server instead of VPS.
I've got mine for $12 a month.
You can install windows via ipmi or pay someone to do this. Suche server will be way more powerful than any vps.
Adding Xevil may be worth it.
Spending more on proxies (for example rotating ones) may give you few extra links on less spamed places.
Read a lot about rotating proxies but used to so need to check out.
Also dont have GSA running so far but will get the last things setup with a list to get the ball rolling and then see what rates I get.
As for VPS, in the GSA forum someone mentiond layer7 which offer a very good start VPS for like 5$, plus taxes is 7$, with 8gb ram and 4 core AMD.
The pricing of 12$/m dosent match the dedicated servers on ovh, how did you get that so cheap? That for a dedicated is nuts.
But thanks for telling me that there is also a way to install windows myself, know another company that offers now and then dedicated server for a discount, so could make a good catch there.
Why do you need GSA? The default GSA doesn't do anything, the backlinks it adds are on pages that have long been flagged by Google.
GSA Captcha Breaker - Xevil is much better than GSA CB
VPS - you don't need that much RAM and such a powerful processor. I got 300 threads on a computer with 8 GB of RAM and an Intel i5 processor.
Proxy - why do you need a proxy for GSA? You will get much better effectiveness and performance on a bulletproof server or a rotating IP.
Verified Lit - why buy these lists? The pages that are there have long been flagged by Google, you need to modify GSA + do your own harvest for it to make any sense.
Saw some decent results w scrapebox as tier 2, so saw GSA as the next step as its much better support and more information on it.
Yea now have it on a VPS for 7$, the 50$ would be overkill.
+1 for the rotating proxies, really need to try them.
As for the list, just got one so I can understand the tool better and get everything setup and running. Building my own list will be the next step, but want to first understand it better so that I then can better look for sites.
Maybe even the bought list yields some results
, lets see.
