    Strategy to cleanse a scraped email list

    Thanks! I will check out those sites! Yes, I've heard accounts can get shut-down very fast if the list is not opt-in. I wonder if there is a way to stay under the radar? ie; only send X amount per hour or per day/week?

    Strategy to cleanse a scraped email list

    I scraped a geo-targeted email list with first names (150,000 emails), and looking to purify it a few times before mentioning my brick-and-mortar business or using any real business-related domain names that may get blacklisted. For example (100% fictional): a new pizza business in shanghai...

    Good accounts to scrape followers from

    haha I would never use that list. the accounts must be niche-specific, but the OP never specified - hence, a tiny little list which has nearly every IG user in the world.

    Python Scraper is slow as hell

    I was actually using the direct api calls (I think they're called JSON?) mentioned in the IG Development Site. Can I scrape more data, and scrape it faster using selenium/chrome versus the direct json calls?

    Wow 60-Hours to python scrape 2000 Followers Followings (the people my followers follow). I haven't implemented the multithreading/proxies/user-agent switching yet into the script. Are there any existing IG python scripts out there in the public that I should check out and learn from (for...

    Python Scraper is slow as hell

    Thank You everyone. Yes, this is for INSTAGRAM. At the moment just testing on 1 residential ip (home) which the ISP rotates the IP-Address every 3-15 minutes. Just a single thread using the API JSON calls as listed on the Instagram Dev website. Great idea about rotating the user-agent...

    Python Scraper is slow as hell

    I'm trying to build an analytics social graph tool that shows who's connected to who. I'm only going 2 levels deep - scraping the followers of followers. Example: if Main account has 1000 followers, and each follower has 100-500 followers = 100,000-500,000 in total scraped list. I made the...

    FB Ads - Bidding Lowest Cost Per Click?

    What is the best way to find the lowest Cost Per Click in FB Advertising? Do you recommend any FB Course that mentions this? I tried many strategies mentioned in popular FB Courses I found in the Warrior Forum such as 1. Set the bidding @ $2.00 and FB will optimize the cheapest (FB averaged...

    New Algorithm For Hashtags & Things I’ve Noticed

    I've also noticed a huge change on my accounts. Overall there is fewer total likes, and it takes longer to receive them Rather than an immediate 75% of the likes within the first 2 hours + 25% clicks over 3-days (ie: 750 in first 2 hours, +250 over 3 days) now its more like 25% likes in the...

    How much do proxy/vps companies make?

    Wow, the proxy company Luminati is worth $200 Million USD. The proxy industry is much larger than I thought - no wonder there are so many companies on BHW. http://www.globes.co.il/en/article-emk-buys-majority-stake-in-luminati-at-200m-valuation-1001200869

    How much do proxy/vps companies make?

    wow, double my estimates... so nearly 10%, and thats not including the audiences on non-BHW online spaces like WF, etc... I read a report that IG estimates there are (or were) 40-50 Million Bots... So I can imagine what you are stating is completely accurate.

    How much do proxy/vps companies make?

    Just doing some research on the size of the market for a related companion upsell product, and a possible related BH-edition if its worthwhile. I notice theres nearly 900K members on the BHW. I would throw out a wild guess that only a tiny slice of members are still active in IM/SEO/BH today...
