Lately, I’ve been trying out various things to properly use the GSA SER, and it seems there are a few things I actually need along with it more than I thought.

If anyone is still using GSA SER, what else do you use together with it besides SER?

I’m curious whether you also purchase and use separate GSA products like Captcha Breaker or Proxy Scraper, and I’m also curious about how you configure and use tools like Proxy, Verified List, and Indexer.

Rather than buying everything from the start, I’m thinking of adding only the things I actually need one by one. As I try them out, are there things you think are almost essential, or on the other hand, things you bought but didn’t really need?

Also, if there are any simple tips that would have been helpful to know in advance when using GSA SER for the first time, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.
 
yeah, and what i learned is that it can easily create more spam than real value. you may build a lot of links, but most of them end up with low quality and can do more bad than good seo.
 
Yes and I still use scrapebox ffs.. sometimes old is gold.

I work in grey niches where we use a lot of parasites to get leads, so firing those old spam tools at properties isn't an issue when testing shit.

the GSA SER software is definitely working however, in my opinion, it really depend on how you use it. the spamming method will not last vry long, however, tests done correctly will definitely show you something.
 
I'm using it every day and now thinking about buying another copy. Don't buy GSA Proxy Scraper (it's not bad why troubles if we have alternative easy solutions). If you're serious about GSA SER campaigns, you should opt for shared or private proxies. You can buy shared proxies for a month for less than 10 or 8 dollars and run GSA with 100 threads. But if you use GSA Proxy Scraper or similar tools, you'll have to tweak and optimize those as well. I'd suggest you cut the crap and stick to the plan. The plan is building links and ranking, so don't grab all the bells and whistles. Grab a good link list, GSA SER, and most importantly, grab a good captcha solver. GSA Captcha Breaker can only solve soft image captchas, but nowadays webmasters use reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, Cloudflare, etc. Therefore, try to grab XEvil or stick to a SaaS captcha solver. There are a lot on the BHW marketplace where providers offer thread-based unlimited captcha solvers. After all, use high quality content with GSA SER and try to identify your niche. If you're working on the wrong niche, no matter what you do, you won't be able to dominate the market.
 
Start with the basic setup first. After using it for a while, you will know which extra tools you actually need and which ones are not worth buying.
 
I did a small GSA SER test recently, mainly comparing a setup with just proxies against one using proxies + a verified list. I kept the targets and project settings mostly the same. The verified list setup finished much faster, but the weird part was that the extra links didn’t really change rankings during the test period.

however, GSA SER is still accessible to users in my view, the efficiency of using this tool highly depend on the way it is set up. It is advisable to begin with a basic setup nd utilize other functions only when needed.

yeah, you got that right. that's the way I see things as well. there still a need for GSA SER but configuration and targeting is what really matter over just link building.
 
You should build a permanent, established tier 1 link to get results. After all, those are just automation tools, so using an automation tool doesn't automatically mean it counts as either a low quality link or high quality link - it really matters with the setup you use and the outcome depends on your data set. I myself have scripted a few engines and found some targets where they index in no time, and I heavily depend on Ranker X, Money Robot, and now SEO Neo and GSA SER with my custom scripts automating tier 1. For GSA, try to get a decent verified list or build one yourself. After all, automation doesn't come with any label like black hat or white hat, or clean link or not.

Some people say those links don't work either because they want to promote their fancy service indirectly, or they're just trying or loading up the tool blindly.

OK, back to your original question ..YES, GSA works great and it's up to date for today. They're adding great options and they listen to their customers, so yeah.

You must consider getting private proxies instead of proxies plus and grab a good link list. There are specific proxies and list providers on BHW anyway. Whenever you're setting up GSA, try to listen to your list provider. That way you can maximize your verified list. Also, if you're new, don't use GSA directly on site - even now I don't with very established sites. For new sites, always throw some self-hosted para pages and then link GSA to it.

Don't waste money on an indexer. You don't need an indexer if you do tiered link building.

Also, don't try to scrape yourself - that's where users fail because nowadays it's hard to scrape. Grab a link list and you're good to go.
