I used to scrape my own links - After finding and testing scraperbandit for a single day, i knew the old-school days were over. Holy cow, Neil you are a genius.
The setup is straight forward, to the point. Insert keywords, footprints and let ScraperBandit work, come back a few hours after and you have a linklist (Depending on amount of course). But the speed is AMAZING, seriously, try it yourself, don't take my words for it.
Now the only thing i need for my own purpose would be filtering the links after DA, TF & CF. Not that it's a big problem doing it with other tools, but i would happily pay more to have them filtered into 2 sections, one list with a links, second list with the links matching the metrics i define.
To sum all up. GET IT NOW! If you are serious about your linkbuilding and don't want to mess around with proxies, VPS's etc.
How i use ScraperBandit:
When scraperBandit is finish with it's magic, i take all the links, put them in Platform Identifier (GSA). When done, i import the link list to GSA and start hammering. Contextual links from related sites? F****** YUMMY!
