Are Loopline's Scrapebox Tutorials Still The Best Resource For Learning/Mastery in 2020?

Really looking to get an understanding of Scrapebox and how I can make use of it fully and creatively. I'm well aware of Loopline's channel, and starting there first, but wanted to get a list of other resources to check out as well (for example reading material vs video material).
 
It depends on what you want to do. I mean I focus mostly on how to. Scrapebox is a massive suite of tools so it just depends on your desired outcome and what tools you use along the way.

So my youtube videos can help you greatly in "how to" but as for strategy, you need to bring that to the table.

Not sure if that helps, but your question was fairly broad so I figured a broad answer was best suited.
 
Hi Matt,

I watched a video yesterday about automating the scrape testing and auto append and save to file. I now can't find the correct video, would you be so kind as to share please?

Separately, the post on BHW about Proxy Forums is now out of date as the links aren't working.

ProxyGo has been a legend and has shared proxy sources but I wondered if there are any others on the 8080/80 ports that I might be able to find?

Predominantly scraping Bing, DuckDuck Go as the others seem a bit unreliable for pure UK results.

Thanks a mill.

The videos are the best resource as kingtigerx suggests. It can seem overwhelming at first but it's relatively easy to get to grips with.

Forgive, me, I don't know what level you're at in terms of understanding basic HTML etc. So....it largely depends on what you're trying to achieve with it.

See you can use it for data mining, list building etc. You can do this either by scraping the search engines or pay for the Yel scraper but you do need to start to understand how to drill down and refine what Scrapebox presents to you.. For example, I am only interested in UK info, but even though I do everything I can to keep things UK e.g. "%kw% ".co.uk" OR ".com" and add the target towns, it often still throws results from overseas into the mix.

This is where the page scanner can be your best friend.

Does anyone know if search operators kind of work in Yel with this being a proprietary platform?

It's much more than a data tool, it literally is the Swiss Army Knife of web tools.

I try and watch a few of Looplines videos a day at the minute, it takes practice and patience but you can get proficient fairly quickly.

Yell as in the UK version of yellow pages? If so no they do not support search operators to my understanding.

But you could use search operators in google and do like

site:yell.com whatever else you want

Does the Rapid Indexer still work?
 
Just search BHW and if you can't find the answer, just ask.
@loopline usually gives good answers amongst many other here.
