Scrapebox Expired Domain Finder

Hi Loopline,
I've had 2 runs of 24h each with Scrapebox expired domains finder since I bought it, and so far it didn't find any domain....
First batch I inserted 15 big old sites, second batch I inserted top 100 worldwide websites in science.

So I think something is wrong with the tool or my configuration. Any idea from where the problem could come from?

Thanks in advance

The quote below is pretty solid advice.

Your issue could be a config issue or just an issue that the sites your trying don't have any expired domains. Either due to being popular and other people being all over them, or due to the fact they have a cron job that just scans the site every X often and removes dead links.

So try this load in only this url
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car

set it to like 10 levels deep, 5 connections NO proxies.

Let it loose. Does it return domains? It should, if not you have a config issue.

I think there are many people trying to find expired domains from popular sources and your chances of finding decent ones may be reduced if you put a popular domain as your seed one.
 
Does anyone have this problem after checking Majestic stats?:

It's great that you want so much data, but you should be collecting this using our API. Automated scraping of the site puts a strain on the server, so is not fair to other users and is outside the terms of website use. Please instead collect data automatically through our API. It is much faster and more reliable. You will need a https://majestic.com/plans-pricing/more-power?recommended=MAJESTIC_250_2014 or above to do this.
 
I think majestic seo was added from 2.0.0.81, case my current SB on 2.0.0.79 and doesnt include the MJ-Se0

apologies if this has been answered, didnt go through all the replies
 
I want to crawl only subdomain f.e. subdomain.example.com. After choosing "do not crawl subdomains" it will crawling example.com without subdomain.example.com? It would be a helpful option to choose one subdomain to crawl too.

I know of 1 other user that got this, it seems majestic is just making a push to squeeze users for more money. Their entire pricing model is based on quantity of rows, but they also want you to pay if you want all that data in a short time.

The latest version has a adjustable delay. I know another user who set it to delay 7 seconds and it worked fine.
 
I have EDM now and it works great. But I don't have Majestic or Moz accounts to check backlink quality of domains. These accounts are pretty expensive? Do you really subscribe to these services or is there a shortcut that I am not aware of?

What about group accounts such as the ones from seogroupbuy.net? Are they usable with EDM (I guess they are not). If I can solve backlink quality checking issue, EDM is really perfect. Please help.

If there is no shortcut, I am planning to buy Majestic silver account ($50 p/m). Does it it work with EDM well? Or should I buy Moz instead. Page Authority plugin is working with Moz. So it looks like a good candidate too.

P.S. I have Ahrefs account but unfortunately EDM does not support Ahrefs yet. Is there any plan to add Ahrefs support to EDM?
 
You can use a free moz account.

If you have a free majestic account, it will work, but obviously checks will be severely limited, moz is more gracious on checks.

I don't know if they will be adding ahrefs or not. The silver majestic works fine with the expired finder.

But Id start with a free moz account and go from there. I think you get 25K calls a month free with moz, or something like that.

Thanks. Free moz seems to be the best option for preliminary elimination. After preliminary elimination, I can use Ahrefs bulk checker.
I guess this will work until I notice that I am missing good domains because of Moz. Is Moz good enough for not missing good domains (e.g. TF 15+ domains)?
 
I've got some problems with this plugin.

I'm looking for swedish domains ending with .se or .nu.

But it looks like the whois is not working because i'm only finding .com/.net/.org expired domains.

Is there som settings that I can set to get it to work?

Here is my problem: when I check expired domains that are found, I notice that more than 30% of them are alive (which means that there is a live website on that domain). So I should filter them with alive checker plugin to find real expired domains. What can cause this problem? Any setting to prevent this?

I don't know the answer for your question but I can say that my plugin finds other TLDs like .in or .fr
Can you check your filter options? You might add your TLD filters to the wrong list. That section is pretty open to misunderstanding.
 
i bought the plugin yesterday, it crashes after crawl is complete for some unknown reason. i am not sure am i doing anything wrong it saves the list to autosave folder but i cant load that to check the metrics.
 
i was only successful in finding tumblr and twitter expired accounts. No luck on other options: weebly, blogspot, etc

is this similar result for rest of you?

thanks

In the expired finder go to options >> download latest whois response file and fixed whois list. You may need to restart the plugin, then try it and it should work fine.

I'm interested to buy this plugin. I only have one question. Does this plugin can find also expired web2.0?
 
I'm using it and can say that this is a great tool. I don't need the metrics anyway, because my strategy is different.
