Hello all,

I have just heard of GSA last week and planning to try it myself. I have a few questions I need answered for before I can move further, hopefully someone here is willing to help. Many thanks in advance.

Here are my questions,
1. Which GSA softwares I will need to start with? I'm thinking about Captcha Breaker, Website Submitter, Content Generator, Keyword Research, SEO Indexer and of course Search Engine Ranker. But will I still need GSA Keyword research if I alrady have semrush and do I still need Content Generator if I am already using chatGPT?

2. I am thinking about using https://www.solidseovps.com/, does anyone here have experience with this company and which VPS package is sufficient to start with? Any other providers worth trying? I have 4 websites which I want ot build links to, hopefully 40 links per site per day.

3. How do you guys choose your proxy providers? I have done a bit of research myself and found some are really expensive but some look so cheap, what is a reasonable pricing for proxies? is https://www.sslprivateproxy.com/ or https://www.scrapebox.com/ a better place for starters? also, is getting GSA Proxy Scraper the same as buying proxies from 3rd providers? I am a bit confused.

4. Finally, I understand we should build links using GSA only to 2nd, 3rd tiers links and should avoid building links using GSA directly to our main sites. What is your experience using GSA? Are the backlinks built using GSA effective? I am asking because I invested a lot buying backlinks in the past couple of years and when I finally found out about GSA, I started to think those links I bought may be coming from this software, although I am not completely sure. If they are tho, then purchasing this software should be a smarter decision for me as I will not only be able to build more backlinks with hopefully much less money and time, but also have more control over those backlinks. Can someone please share with me your experience with GSA in general please?

Thank you so much for reading. Please share if you can.

It depends on your target goal.

GSA SER: best for tier link building
GSA CB: It is must have to save the captcha solving costs
SEO Indexer: Useless, it doesn't work.
Website Submitter: It used to work great, but not now, because benefits of directory submission are dead.
GSA Keyword Research: If you have SEMrush, then you don't need it.
Content Generator: If you want to automate the content into GSA SER, then it's a must. As, in ChatGPT you have to manually write the content and load in GSA SER.

I use my own VPS for the SEO tasks, so can't comment on this. But you can ask for the trial/ demo to see if the tools they have listed in their packages works or not.
If you are thinking about building links directly to your money sites, then look for the proper GSA SER campaign settings and only target quality links to your sites.

3. How do you guys choose your proxy providers?

All you need is 10 dedicated proxies for 100 threads (submission only). It'll cost you around $10-20/mo depending on the service pricing.
For scraping, you need residential rotating proxies. Which can cost you $50 or more..

GSA is recommended for lower tiers. But you can use it to build links directly to your money sites as well. Many GSA link list sellers provide separate link lists for this purpose.
Now let's talk about the effectiveness of the tool. The end result varies upon your campaign settings and your website's quality.
Such as if your money sites aren't properly SEO optimized and content quality is below than avg, then no matter which link building technique you apply, the results will not be good as per your expectations.

Thank you so much for your answers, JasonS. I find them very very helpful.
Based on your advice and my own research, I came up with my first shopping list:

ONE TIME FEES

GSA SER
  • $92.00 GSA Captcha Breaker
  • $97.00 GSA Keyword Research
  • $147.00 GSA Content Generator
  • 87.30 GSA Search Engine Ranker

SCRAPEBOX
  • $97

    TOTAL ONE TIME FEES: $545.70

MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION FEES

  • $ 9 VPN (buyvpn.com)
  • $70 Proxies (Dedicated+Rotating)
TOTAL MONTHLY FEES: About $80

I hope estimations above can help those who are just starting like me.

I have some more questions tho,

  • Is GSA Keyword Research Tool as good as Semrush or ahrefs? I mean, is it going to be sufficient enough if we just just that and forget about Semrush/ahrefs? Semrush is great but kind of expensice especially for starters like me, ahrefs offers free account which I am using already now.
  • It looks like it is possible to get domain list from list providers, or just get Scrapebox and scrape them ourselves. I like Scrapebox as it allows us more flexibilities, but does it make sense to start with just buying as we need from different providers and only purchase Scrapebox later?
I will appreciate if you JasonS can give me more insights, and of course welcome anyone to chip in and share with us with more info. Thank you again, this has been very helpful for me.
 
$ 9 VPN (buyvpn.com)
Why do you need a VPN, as you already have proxies in your list? Or you meant to say VPS?

  • Is GSA Keyword Research Tool as good as Semrush or ahrefs? I mean, is it going to be sufficient enough if we just just that and forget about Semrush/ahrefs? Semrush is great but kind of expensice especially for starters like me, ahrefs offers free account which I am using already now.
GSA Keyword Tool doesn't produce data from its own source. It uses APIs which you have to set in the settings.
SEMrush and Ahrefs both are good. You can get semrush account from the marketplace section for as low as $9/mo or if you already have Ahrefs then it's enough.

It looks like it is possible to get domain list from list providers, or just get Scrapebox and scrape them ourselves. I like Scrapebox as it allows us more flexibilities, but does it make sense to start with just buying as we need from different providers and only purchase Scrapebox later?
Scrapebox does 10,000 other things rather than just URL scraping and comment posting. Must watch @loopline YouTube channel for more info.
But if you want to scrape the URLs, then it's gonna take a lot of your time and resources if your target is in million URLs.
Reason: Scraping the URLs list > filtering out the .gov and other official sites, separating them platform-wise, cleaning the dead URLs, checking the URL metrics, etc..
IMO, it's better to go with some reliable link list provider and save your time and money.

Hello Again JasonS,

Thank you so much for pointing out my mistake. Yes, you are correct, I meant to say VPS and so far I am thinking about BASELINE X Plan by solidseovps.com which I think is quite cheap, hopefully it is good enough for my case.

GSA Keyword Tool doesn't produce data from its own source. It uses APIs which you have to set in the settings.
Thanks. I shall look for some videos and learn more about this.

SEMrush and Ahrefs both are good. You can get semrush account from the marketplace section for as low as $9/mo or if you already have Ahrefs then it's enough.
I am currently using the free verson of ahrefs to track data for my own sites. I was planning to buy semrush membership but yes to me they are quite expensive. I did try some group buys before paying around 12usd for access to ahrefs, moz and other tools but they were basically useless, it was near to impossible to get into ahref using the software provided by them. I stopped trying group buys ever since. I have never heard of discount for access to semrush tho, I will definitely go check the market place as soon as i finish wrting this. Thanks so much again for the information.

Scrapebox does 10,000 other things rather than just URL scraping and comment posting. Must watch @loopline YouTube channel for more info.
Yes, I have watched a couple of his videos. @loopline makes every thing looks so easy in his videos lol.

But if you want to scrape the URLs, then it's gonna take a lot of your time and resources if your target is in million URLs.
Reason: Scraping the URLs list > filtering out the .gov and other official sites, separating them platform-wise, cleaning the dead URLs, checking the URL metrics, etc..
IMO, it's better to go with some reliable link list provider and save your time and money.
To be honest, I have no idea how many backlinks I will need. Hopefully not in million URLs, who knows tho, one of my competitors has over 1 million links for just one website.
I have 4 online shops, two older ones about 4 years, two new ones about 1 year.
The older shops get only about 100 visitors a day and the new ones below 20.
I have bought a few thousand links for the older sites over the past few years and I think they are working, just not as good as I want them to. I know I need more back links but I feel I have very little control over what I can get from the link sellers. That's the main reason I thought I should start creating some good links manually myself and get a good software like GSA to boost them with more 2nd tier or 3 tier links.
Yes, I do have a feeling that GSA alone will take some time for me to learn, I should take your advice, focus on GSA now and only consider learning scrapebox in the future if I really need to. Thank you again I really appreciate it.
I have just removed scrapebox in my list of estimated costs above and replaced it with prices for buying lists.

================================

Thank you again so much for your help, JasonS. How does the list above look to you? Is there something missing from my plan, please?
I was planning to pay about 110usd for semrush alone before (that's why I have been dragging on...it's seriously too much for my budget, you can rent a room for a month with that money where i am currently located), with your help, the estimated price has been reduced to only about $85 for not just one service but for semrush+vps+proxies+link lists. I didnt even dare to think that this is possible!!
Also, I have just found this in the market place. Wow! this is like a dream come true!! Thanks a million, JasonS!!!

Gsa is OK for tier 1 / 2 links but little else.
its a fair product thats been around a long time.
Hello Proxygo,

Thank you for replying. Some people say GSA is only ok for tier 2, 3 or below links, but I have also read that you can use them for tier 1 if you have some good link lists, do you know any good link providers that sell reliable good quality link lists? Yeah I did a little check and found that GSA has been around since 2012 I think they are worth a try. I will appreciate it very much if you can share with me other info that you think a beginner like me should know. Thanks again in advance.

Hello and thanks, itz_styx,
I have just added xEvil to the list.
Also, does it make sense to use only xEvil alone, and just forget about GSA Captcha Breaker?
Another question, will this plan be good enough to run xEvil?

You advice is much appreciated.

Hello and thanks again, itz_styx,

I have removed GSA Captcha Breaker from the list, saving not only $92 but probably a lot of time too. Thanks so much.
Is there anything else you think I should add or remove from the list?
How's Semrush from the marketplace? Have you ever tried any of them yourself?
 
I want to say this. No matter what tool you going to have what it can do is AUTOMATING. If you have no clue about these tools you must learn before achieve the success.
solidSEOVPS is great and make sure to grab 4gb minimum to run all the tools. GSA SER is one of best link building tool ever. Just make sure to use high quality content / emails and link list with it.

Since you are a newbie i would suggest you to play with facebook fan pages with easy keywords.

Thanks a lot for the advice. I will take them seriously.
Would you mind sharing with me where to find and filter good link lists, please? There are a lot of providers outthere they all say theyre the best...
I used to buy links but because I have near to zero control of what I can get from those sellers, I decided to do it on my own now.
But thinking of the time it will need to build backlinks....i once felt quite hopeless lol
and I am sure that even tho these are just tool to help automating, they are still big life savers.
Talking about fb, do you think social media are just as important as backlinks?
there are some autoposting plugins for wordpress and I was thinking of getting one too, blogtosocial, you might have heard of it
Whats your thought about this?
Every tool is not just investment in term of money but also huge amount of time and I am trying not to waste my time as i used to

my sites lost quite some keywords after the latest goole update,
(lost hundreds of low ranking keywords, lost some ranked 1-50, but magically daily visitors remain about the same, is this a good or bad thing?)
i read some related posts on this forum and some even say seo is dead now after the latest google update this year
whats your experience? is it a bit too late to learn gsa ser now?

Thanks for sharing.

Why do you want semrush for GSA projects ? Just wanted to know.

Also stay away from serocket they don't update their link lists plus price is not worth compare to other link list services
 
Hello all,

I have just heard of GSA last week and planning to try it myself. I have a few questions I need answered for before I can move further, hopefully someone here is willing to help. Many thanks in advance.

Here are my questions,
1. Which GSA softwares I will need to start with? I'm thinking about Captcha Breaker, Website Submitter, Content Generator, Keyword Research, SEO Indexer and of course Search Engine Ranker. But will I still need GSA Keyword research if I alrady have semrush and do I still need Content Generator if I am already using chatGPT?

3. How do you guys choose your proxy providers? I have done a bit of research myself and found some are really expensive but some look so cheap, what is a reasonable pricing for proxies? is https://www.sslprivateproxy.com/ or https://www.scrapebox.com/ a better place for starters? also, is getting GSA Proxy Scraper the same as buying proxies from 3rd providers?

Thank you so much for reading. Please share if you can.
you could focus more in high quality backlinks, that way you get mroe bank for your buck
gsa ser is not good at all and can only hurt your site

If you in garbage output be garbage. Exactly as karma.

Technically you can build any kind of backlink with gsa as its socket based + it allows scripting.


There are premium link services even web2.0s outthere which can use with money site projects. My entire network and backlink profile built with gsa ser.

Hello Alex, which premium link service do you recommend for money sites?
 
I meant to say GSA SEO Indexer tool.
do you have any recommendation for link indexing tools? if you do, would you share please? .

Anyway, i wanna thank the author tho @pinno cheers mate for this excellent thread, let's learn this tool together :):)
