GSA doesn't work in 2022

I'm using webshare's proxies.

I've started with 100 shared static proxies but the threads where running very low, 0 to 10.

So I've tried to use more proxies and reduce the "time to wait beetwen queries" to around 6 seconds.

Now my threads are running around 50+.

But I know that my machine can handle at least 1,5k maybe 2k threads no problem. It gets there with link re-verification".

If you have any advice... maybe more campaigns? Also, I'm only using language related search engines around 70, possibly the problem?

I’m unsure of webshares service or what they cost. I use privateproxy.me. Are those proxies free?

Yes more projects will boost your thread count. But it goes to show you could have 5 dedicated datacenter proxies right now and be fine. I have 30 dedicated proxies and 300 threads. The only reason why I have so many is because I scrape my own lists and run two dedicated projects to continuously keep a robust verified list. If you’re not doing that and only have a couple of projects with tiers you do not need to be running more than 100 threads. Probably not even close to that if you’re scheduling things right.

Plus dedicated proxies are going to be so much faster. You get better results.

- Tiered backlinks are easy. Keep strong websites as your tier 1's. Tier 1's point directly to your money site and can be trusted. Tier 2's point to the tier 1's and can be less quality, but you still want some quality. That's a very simple analysis, but you understand.
- Yes, that's far too many for your first month. I'd say stretch 1400 over 4-6 months at least. It's my understand the GSA indexer doesn't even work in terms of indexing right now.
- Yes. At this point you want to aim to level out that 1400/53 ratio. I'd say disavow like 400 of them to help the ratio out a little.
- You want 0% from any source ideally. However, what is okay is when the plagiarism cited is things that can't be reworded. Names of people, places, etc.

You’re right about GSA Indexer no longer working effectively I have it on my server but don’t even use it. Better off using one of the indexing services on the forum here although some can get costly depending on the provider

I remember seeing the creator (or person who markets GSA on the forum) speaking about it roughly 6 months ago stating they were working on it but as of that moment, it wasn't working correctly.

I can't find it but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing the post back in Jan/feb.

Thanks guys, I'll hopefully be back with a "GSA works in 2022" very soon.
I'll start testing out your suggestions and let you know what happened.

I hope so!

I just saw your question earlier about search engines. I do not use that in SER. I use scrapebox to scrape for targets. I only use SER to post which is what it does best. I'm sorry I can't help you with that part of SER.

Heres an old website with crap content that got hit in october/december 2020 updates. I've been at it with SER for 2-3 weeks, just for fun really (but if it ranks I bank). I have not even changed the content.. yet. These are all 1000+ search volume, transactional keywords ($$$) with decent competition. I have not made the tier projects yet. Getting ready to do that now.

OP - what kind of links you are making with GSA?
It can work very good with a right setup.

I'm selecting all engines and then right click -> uncheck engines that use no contextual links

Are you links manually made are they getting indexed ?

My backlink count in ahrefs is steadily growing, so I guess they are.

outbound links or inbound links count you are talking about ?

Mostly bots links just gets bad easily so try manual services , they would cost you more but still worth it !

Also uncheck engines for nofollow links.
And use tiered link building - to power up these contextual links.
It is enough to make 20-30 contextual links daily - do-follow, surrounded by some content, not 5 words in a forum profile.
And blast these 20-30 contextual backlinks with lower quality links.

No, the are not.
You are making links for google search engine, not Ahrefs.

I'm sure GSA works in 2021.

You are probably pointing GSA backlinks directly at your website?

for my Parasite DA 80+

As pointed out, I believe blasting GSA directly is a no-no, use pyramids tiers, you blasted too soon and too fast. I wait at least 1 month before starting any automated link building. Start with registering all the social media accounts possible, then high quality brand/profile accounts (Adobe,soundcloud,band camp, ect) for month 2 and then start GSA tiers by month 3.

What is your keyword anchor ratio, for brand new domains, I usually keep a 80% url, 10% generic and 10% brand ratio for first month of backlinking all to home page. Start 10% keyword anchors by end of month 2, and gradually increase brand anchors to 30% by month 3.

Making things look natural is a faster way to get out of G sandbox.

Having said all that, there are strategies where blasting hundreds of thousands of GSA links directly to a page with over optimized keyword anchors can pop a page to the top very fast. I used to buy articles on LAWeekly for $200 USD 2 years ago and they would allow any content/word count, I wrote pillar spammy seo articles targeting highest difficulty keywords and published 5 of them at a time internal linking each other. It was considered an authority news domain at the time and can handle mass volume GSA links cause their backlink profile was squeaky clean and there is a ton of link dilution.

Same technique can work now, but most publishers have not been hit by waves of people doing the strategy over and over ruining it for the next guy. So you would need to find a fresh authority news site to parasite seo to get the referral traffic.

There's your problem. You also need to deselect no-follow links. Build only ******** and sites that allow anchor texts.

You need to index the backlinks in Google, then only you can get the ranking on Google. Try some premium indexing methods to index the backlinks.

Someone told me do follow only doesn't look natural, that's why I'm building those too.

Lots of people have been telling me that but I don't quite get it. How can I check if a backlink is indexed by google?

I think ~5 nofollow links in every 100 made is fine. I am talking about referring domains.

You can do site:your-backlink-here or inurl:your-backlink-here Google search, or use some free or paid index checker tools.
