I'm having problems with the link extractor, it will only do about 8 sites at a time, any more than that and it just returns 1 link per site, is anyone else having this problem?

Hey everyone,
I've recently purchased scrapebox and been playing around with it. It's an awesome tool. I just wanted to know what other people's success rate has been?
I just finished harvesting 125K urls, found 225 AA sites. I then found all the indexed pages from those sites and posted using fast poster. I received 3901 AA links. Is that decent?
Please share your information, because I want to know if this is normal or if I could be doing better.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hey loopline!
I used you suggestion and right now using private proxies to harvest with max 3 connections and no special operators along.
I got a question,
When I'm scraping, for some reason yahoo scraps really fast, at ~80 urls/s and with google its always >20 urls/s...
is there anyway to change it and increase the scraping speed/amount with google?
Thanks!
P.S
Just remembered something I wanted to ask too,
does ~ * "" considered as advanced operators and aren't possible to use with the technique that you stated above about scraping with private proxies at 2 connections?
Thanks man!

It's possible that 1. The default values for the scraper is lower on google
or 2. less ips accepted by google.
I can always scrape faster on yahoo even with the same speed settings, seeing as google softbans ips faster (or prehaps more people use them to spam google)

I allow me to suggest a feature update : just increase the max connections for proxy testing to 500 (with a warning for example).

change config
But if i remember right the proxy harvester couldn't reach above like 250 active connections at once for me.
And i have no idea if it affected the success rate or anything.

I think the alive check addon may have an issue...I use this addon all the time however, just in the last few days it seems it is no longer using proxies...if I run and alive check of a whole heap of domains on the same host (tumblr. webs etc) it bans me after a few 200 links... maybe some sort of DOS defense... which suggests the addon is not utilizing proxies. Anyone else having this issue?

Slow commenter uses the internet explorer rendering engine. So just go into your internet explorer options and turn active scripting off.
It works fine for me. If you take those same sites and put them at the front of the list does it get more then 1 link? How about if you turn the connections down?
Yeah, like mentioned above, the proxies might be banned by google or there may be less results in google for that footprint then in yahoo, hence it would not scrape as fast. I mean you can try to up the connections and experiment of course, but usually Yahoo bans out my IPs before google does at the end of the day, so google catches up.
As for your operators. I haven't really tested with those in a split test. I don't think they are advanced operators by definition. You would have to try it and see, but if I were betting then I would say "" are fine and * and ~ are also likely fine.
With thousands of people saying they bought it and its a great program, I am sure there is just a mix up. Use their contact form on scrapebox.com to make sure that you are emailing the right address:
http://www.scrapebox.com/contact-us
No it works fine for me, and I was just talking to a friend today who said they use it for massive lists and it works great this past week. Proxies are used with the alive checker.
But even if you are using proxies, that not to say they aren't transparent or that even your proxies aren't getting banned. Also make sure you are checking the use proxies box.
It works fine, just tried it. 99% guess your proxies are banned from advanced operators. See here:

If thats not it, can you be more specific about what is not working?

Anyone else having problems with ScrapeBox's "test proxies"?
I'm only able to a run test proxies once, have to restart ScrapeBox to check them again.
And also having problems with "check PR" which is no longer comleting a run freezes at about 2%.
Both these functions used to work fine untill recently.
Would be grateful for any tips/advice.
regards,
Chris

I am facing a upgrade related problem and it is first time in one year after I bought this tool.
When I go to update version 1.25.37 it shows download is successful but when I go to "run update" it always shows "unable to run the update utility!"
Please let me know how to overcome this problem.
Thanks in advance.

When the proxy checker doesn't work, does it tell you to try back in a few mins? If you go to help >> test server connection- when it won't work I mean. Do you have red lights?
If you have red lights and it tells you to wait its because something is blocking scrapebox. This is most generally a firewall or an anti-virus program. you need to find the program blocking scrapebox and add allow rules.
Also I just PR checked 40K urls fine. Does it just freeze and say not responding or does it give an error? How many urls are you trying to PR check at a time?
What is happening in the threads when its "frozen" are they moving or stuck?
If you close down scrapebox and go into your scrapebox folder. Then launch the update utility manually, does it work or what error does it give?
I mean worst case you can also go download the whole package from here:
http://www.scrapebox.com/payment-received
Make sure you don't have you scrapebox folder set to read only.

I sometimes get this error because I have multiple instances open. Just try closing down all the processes and run sbupdate.exe.

Hey matt,
About the method of harvesting urls at 2 max connections.
Do you know any way to harvest in the same way but with special operators?
instead of harvesting again and again public proxies..
For example, if I want to scrape G, Y and B for a site:http://domain.com %KW%
with thousands of keywords without having to stop and change proxies each time..
Thanks!

Possible bug report
OK, this has me a bit worried - I just tried to visit one of my competitors' site and found that my home IP address was blocked by StopForumSpam (stopforumspam.com). There are 5 reports for my IP address (one a day, Feb 14th-19th, no report on 17th) and they appear to be coming from scrapebox (same email format and keywords I'm blasting atm).
I checked SB and I have "Use proxies" checked. All my proxies are private and I have around 10. All I am doing is using fast poster to post to a huge list of auto approve blogs. I ran the link checker once. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Thanks in advance.

Well you could try with like 10% meaning 1 connection rather then 2. But even with 2 connections I am able to pull a lot of Site:http://www.domain.com results with minimal blocking. AOL gives more site:http://www.domain.com results then does Google, in my experience. Just heads up on that one.
Also bing supports site:http://www.domain.com however yahoo does not support it. So you can add those in to get more results, but AOL and Bing both block me quicker then does Google, which is an irony, lol.
But again I get minimal blocking from google with 10-20% connections for advanced operators, but it does depend. I would say there is different levels/combos of ban rules inside advanced operators too. I mean it boils do to this:
The more processing power that your query uses on googles end, the faster they are going to block you. OR so it seems to me and that is how I would do it if I were them.
Experiment and see.
I have blasted from 1 ip for over a year and never had this problem and all my ips on servers and home IPs are clean and I have scrapebox running all over the place.
However I have gotten my home IP on stopforumspam.com before and it was just were I did a run and forgot to check the use proxies box. Also if one of your proxies went on vacation and decided to start passing along your IP, then that would do it.
But I can watch connections in a debugger, and see the connections hitting the proxies. I mean I haven't tried it on the .37 that just came out, but it didn't say that there were any poster or proxy changes so I doubt that that portion of the code was even messed with. Just guessing, but your dates are before that release anyway, so mute point.
Use the proxy checker to make sure that your proxies are passing the IP test and then always make sure that you checking use proxies.
I know once upon a day I forgot to check it and realized it later and then I got a notice from my ISP some days later about a complaint. After that I am mad crazy about triple checking that I have the use proxies box checked before I hit start posting.
