I just activated my first ever scrapebox instance and am looking for an absolute starting point. Are their any videos and/or write-ups anyone can recommend to me? What is the first thing I should learn about. Using proxies is optional since i'm using a systemwide vpn, what else would you recommend to begin with.

Scrapebox has no set outcome like many tools do, it has 10,000 uses. So what is your outcome? What are you trying to do?
 
Just dont blast things or Scrapebox can you put you into the Sandbox

Ive seen it cause a google dance, but many people run around saying don't bomb a bunch of links at your site or it will get you in the sandbox or penalized etc...

I and google disagree with this.

I would NOT recommend, for various reasons, that you bomb your site. Hammering a ton of links at your site overnight is not going to help and can cause your site to dance around in google rankings etc...

However if blasting a bunch of links at your site would cause your site to go to the sandbox, then I would have made tens of millions of dollars selling auto approve lists, because everyone would buy them from me, blast all their competitors and float to the top.

Blasting a bunch of links is not near as dangerous as most people think, google can not allow it to be. Its also not near as useful as many people think, its not 2008, there are not blatant short cuts to ranking that are abundant.

Test sites is the key. For example, Ive known of a site that was ranked well in google and the only links that were built to it, were from sites that google had deindexed. So links from deindexed sites totally ranked a site that was indexed.... I personally have done tests sites and gamed all sorts of metrics from moz and majestic, and had their metrics saying my site was great, while google didn't rank it at all.

The thing is you can Not rely on what people on BHW say, you can Not rely on what majestic or moz or ahrefs says, and you can Not rely on what I say. You Can rely on data, and if you build test sites, try out different methods and measure the results, you have your own data, and your own proof and you know what works, and what keeps working when the algorithms change, because they will change.

What gets measured gets managed. Gossip on black hat world is hard to measure, so take what everyone says, including me, with a grain of salt ;)

New sites are very sensitive to blasts since they have small or non existant existing backlink profile of trust.

A large competitor with many trusted RD count can eat a bunch of toxic links at worst the spam blast will be ignored since there is alot of good links to them.

I read somewhere about John Mueller or Matt Cutts they said, typically the algorithm ignores bad links, in some cases penalize the sites for the bad links if there is not much quality links in the rest of the profile and is mostly spammed profile.

so they treat sites differently. if they are established with a big quality profile the spam will likely just trip the ignore filter whereas a new site getting blasted or site without much of a developed quality portfolio will trip the penalty part of the filter.

you probably couldnt even get a major site penalized with a million spam link blast since the remaining part of their profile will make your blast just be ignored. but do that to a small guy and you'll surely take him out.

@loopline
Test sites is the key
i absolutely agree with this.

ive read all kinds of theories but ultimately if you dont do your own diligent testing, you'll never truly know whats working.
