Finding A Footprint?

I use Magic Article Submitter and was thinking to myself, "Couldn't I use ScrapeBox to scrape article directories for use with Magic Article Submitter?

I tried using "Powered By Article Dashboard" because that is whats supposed to be at the footer of all the sites. But I checked a lot of the sites that are actually IN the software and hardly any of them have this text at the footer.

So my question is, who knows how to find a footprint for Article Dashboard sites that they can't change? Is it possible? I have only heard of what footprints are since I got ScrapeBox, so I'm not an expert is how the pros find good footprints to get what they want

so people use article dashboard as a free platform to start their own directorys like phbb3 forums for example.

why do you need to find these footprints im abit confused

I think that g00gle either de-indexed a lot of them, or they just lost most of their values (If they had any to begin with)
