Hi, When I create names and emails using the generator, is there any way to match the name and the email when posting? It seems that when posting, SB randomly picks a name and email to use for the comment being posted.

No it just picks randomly. You want to use them in a specific order?

No, I dont put anything into proxy section, just wanna harvest some proxies

Does it say not responding then? Try downloading a fresh copy, perhaps you have a corrupt file somewhere.

I was trying to generate an Automator job for Scrapebox to scrape for a certain footprint/keyword combo when I noticed that it doesn't have the Randomize Keywords option in the automator. I really think this is vital as without randomizing keywords first the proxies will burn much faster and the results won't be diversified.

Also another problem I face is the same on that Srapebox 1 had and that is the loading of UTF-8 keywords through keyword file. For example if I try to load a French keyword list all the french specific letters get all scrambled when imported through a file. To import them correctly I have to copy paste them from the opened txt file in notepad++. This is really inconvenient, but I was doing it nevertheless. However this cannot be automated with the automator for obvious reasons. The automator cannot copy paste from notepad. It can only accept a file for keyword list therefore will make the keywords scrambled again.

These are my only two wishes for fix in Scrapebox 2 Automator. I was suffering because of this second problem a lot in SC1 now please correct this in SC2's Automator. Thanks!

EDIT: Sorry, was talking about the automator addon only. SC2 has the ability to import UTF-8 lists properly, but the automator doesn't have the option to select UTF-8 file format and the option to randomize keywords.

The automator plugin becomes not responsive when trying to save a job involving harvesting urls. Actually it becomes not responsive randomly while trying to setup the Harvest Urls job. It's really strange.

And even if it worked allright, I can't really see how this could automate the live proxies update from an URL in the middle of scraping the way it currently works. This is the reason #1 why I bought it, so I can be able to replace my proxies automatically every 2-3 hours without interrupting scraiping, but I guess this is impossible with scrapebox even with automator. If that is the case I want a refund for automator because I don't need it as such.

With automator plugin its possible.

The problem with the automator is that it does tasks one at a time. So while harvesting urls task is running it cannot update the proxies and vice-versa.

I bought this plugin and spent days to understand how it works and how to create a job only to find out it's single-threaded and does no good. I expected Scrapebox 2.0 64-bit to be more advanced than this.. Quite disappointing actually..

EDIT: Auto-updating proxies from url belongs as an option right here in this menu:

Why would I be able to select an autoload proxy file and not be able to select an autoload URL as proxy source? I mean WTF guys?! So what now am I supposed to build a script myself that saves a txt file out of my proxies url source just so I can use it with scrapebox?

And what is this joke about making me buy a complicated addon like automator for such a simple task like updating proxies and in the end it doesn't even work. Are you just trying to up-sell to me or something?

Firstly two things, if you are struggling to do something you can ask and get help from support or even Loopline who dedicates a bunch of time helping people out here in the forum, making video's etc. Also ScrapeBox v2.0 is a public Beta version, for people to report bugs, have a say on features etc before the final version.

There's no reason to launch in to attack mode calling it a joke if something in a beta isn't working exactly how you want it. If we cant get it to work how you want i'm happy to refund your $20. But the Automator is extremely powerful, you would be amazed at what some users are doing with it.

Now for your problem, run one instance of ScrapeBox and add your proxy source URL to the proxy manager and select it and deselect all other sources. Then in Automator create a simple 4 step jobfile:

Harvest Proxies
harvest.png

Test Proxies
test.png

Save proxies to a file
save.png

Loop back to step 1
loop.png

What you have built is a 24/7 proxy harvester and tester that will harvest proxies from your source site, test and save in a loop keeping a file constantly updated with working proxies.

Now start a second ScrapeBox instance, and when you run the URL harvester in the screenshot you posted http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/attachment.php?attachmentid=59820&d=1422060727 you can tell it to fetch proxies from a file every X minutes. Just tell it to load the proxies from the file you made the Automator job for.

First of all I do apologize for my attitude. The reason for that is that I couldn't find any clear instructions on how to use the automator. I felt all on my own there and did many different combinations trying to figure out how to accomplish a simple task which other software do with a few clicks. And on top of all that all the bugs crashing the automator randomly whenever I just setup a task just added to the fire. I understand SC2 is still in beta, but wasn't expecting for the addon to fail as well. I sure hope to see Scrapebox 2.0 final in it's full glory surpassing the current competition.

Thank you for your detailed guide, I had no idea I could run two instances of scrapebox. I thought I would need a second license for that. So this does resolve many issues now. However I still think it's a very complicated solution to a very simple problem. Running two instances and getting a whole automator addon for a simple task as this is just an overkill and wasted resources in my view. So my suggestion for Scrapebox 2.0 would be to make this task a little simpler. Please try to make the proxy harvester instance to be able to run independently just like your many addons do. And you can also add an option to select the proxy harvester as a source for proxies and the ability to check for new proxies on X minutes just like you have it right now with a file.

I don't want a refund for the automator, I know it's a great tool and can do amazing stuff which I'm sure it will come handy for larger tasks as I progress with my project. But since my current proxy url source doesn't need testing, instead of running a whole new instance of Scrapebox with automator just for saving proxies to a file I think I'm going to code a few lines by myself instead.

I discovered a few blogs on my AA list where scrapebox used to post links, but now it does not post on that specific links. After a few testings I realized that it does not post because of the proxies that I am using in scrapebox. It is possible my proxies to be banned on that blogs ? I have 32 private proxies.
 
i ran the addon backlink checker for 1000 urls. took me 24 hours, and what do i get? a list of backlink counts??? i saw something online that says its supposed to give me the backlinks, but i dont have any button that can let me export backlinks. what good are the counts? whats going on?

Click on the "Show Save Folder" button, and there are all your backlinks...
 
Hello found a bug. For the premium article scraper plugin if you go to batch poster and load in a a list of articles and some of those articles use non english charcaters like chinses symbols or russian letters it seems to crash the article scraper plugin. I think that this is a because of characters scrapebox doesnt like because I can important as many english articles as I want but if I selectc just one with characters scrape box doiesnt support it breaks.

I don't think this was a problem with scrapebox v1

:)
 
There was a time related option in v1.. time span of returned results.. i dont see it in current v2... willl it be added?

i am not sure its bug or just me
but when i clicked paused on harvester .. it dosnt pause.. its on please wait from last 15-20 minutes
also please wait dosnt get minimsed even if harvester is

I have set the custom harvester in scrapebox 2.0 64bit to get the proxies from file. It is set to update the proxies every 120 minutes. But the proxy refresh screen comes up like every 30 seconds: http://prntscr.com/5wossy

So whenever it does a proxy refresh the harvesting process stops completely.

And the popup message "Preparing Proxy Refresh" which comes up every time it does a refresh is very annoying. It is "always on top" and gets in the way of every other opened app and it is impossible to work anything else while it comes up. Can that be set to hidden somehow?

Yes in theory. I mean the basic test is if it works on a sample run without proxies but does not work with proxies, then the proxies are the issue. It could be that they are banned, it could be that the proxies are preventing the posting or the page load or anything really. But if it works without proxies but not with, the proxies are the issue.

Is the article in a unicode/utf-8 file or is it in a ansi file?

If you can email a article file that crashes it to support, so they can reproduce it, Im sure that would be helpful to them.

scrapeboxhelp [at) gmail [dot) com

or

support (at} scrapebox (dot} com

You can make your own time span to anything you want. There is a FAQ article about it, and the same thing applies to the custom harvester in 2.0, also you can build a completely custom time span as well:
http://scrapeboxfaq.com/how-can-i-c...-the-automator-or-custom-harvester-for-google

Does it always do this when you click pause or just this once? Is it in the detailed or custom harvester?

Same thing happens to me, I mailed support, Im sure they will take care of it.

The proxy refresh is fixed and will be in the next update (2.0.0.27). The "Preparing Proxy Refresh" popup will be removed also in the next update.

well it happens to me everytime i tried
i havnt tried detailed harvester yet.. its on custom
 
any discount code, please .

You could just click the link in the very first post of this thread, but here you go:

thats the best discount.

Im confused. In the first post you were talking about the batch poster in the article scraper plugin crashing when you load in a given article. But now you are talking about scraping urls from the search engines. Can you please provide more clarity on exactly what the issue is? As those 2 things are not related.
 
Note that disabling a anti-virus only stops it from creating new rules, but existing rules will still fire, even when its disabled. So you have to actually either add it as trusted/allowed in the anti-virus, or completely uninstall the anti-virus, there is no middle ground with anti-virus software.

So try that, or try restarting the pc in safe mode with networking, Antivirus won't start in safe mode, and you can test it, does it do the same thing?

Problem solved and here's how: Let's say the loading of urls stopped at 1039567, I opened the list with Notepad++, when to line #1039567 and deleted it, loaded the list again and completed successfully.
