Hi Cash202 - thank you for this incredible tutorial. I am a SEO newbie and this is by far the most insightful and helpful guide I have ever come across, helps me a great deal.
I am still trying to understand the ropes before I try my hand at implementing your steps. What I need some clarity/tips on is understanding how to use proxies properly. You mention somewhere here that you have 25 private proxies that you use for Scrapebox. Do you also use different proxies for each submission step of the cycle? And for the manual submission step to Web 2.0 sites, do you use different proxies for each submission? Basically, do differenct sections of the cycle require their own private proxies?
I realise this might be general knowledge to most people here, but I am really new to SEO and am working my way towards building all my knowledge base so that hopefully I can become an awesome SEO'er like yourself! Thanks for your help in advance.
You generally DON'T need proxies for Web 2.0 posting, bookmarking and
tools like SENuke and Bookmarking Demon. In fact, you'll get more
successful posts without proxies.
You need proxies only when you want to hide your arse from overly zealous
anti-spam activists. Let me remind you that SPAM is unsolicited bulk email.
Everything else is NOT SPAM. It is only called spam by delusional pissed
off forum and blog owners who can't manage their own business. However
they tend to get together and harass hosting companies and ISPs with
their abuse complaints. As a result, your Internet provider or hosting
company can kick you out (to rid themselves from pain of reading these
annoying complaints). Thus proxy servers are used to hide your real IP
address (proxy server basically hides your IP address on the Internet and
substitutes it with another IP).
XRumer works very bad with proxies. Even with good private proxies you
get lower success rate. The best solution here for a beginner is ...
OUTSOURCING. Seriously, just use Fiverr.
Unless you do tons of blasts for clients it is not worth investing in your
own server and expensive XRumer license.
Scrapebox works very well with proxies. The large number of proxies (ten
or more) actually improves submission success rate dramatically. Scrapebox
uses provided proxies in round robin manner when you run a blog comment
campaign.
Again, the best solution for beginner is to OUTSOURCE. When you know
you've successfully run several campaigns, you can try and run your own
copy of Scrapebox, first at home, when off VPS and, eventually, off the
dedicated server.
PS. For those who's messing with XRumer. The best solution, besided
abuse-proof hosting, that I've successfully used is VPN. Read some
reviews at
http://myvpnreviews.com/ and test some VPNs with high
privacy. Select the fastest one (it depends on where you host your server)
and go for it. DO NOT use StrongVPN and HideMyAss. They will shut you
down.
