How to use GSA to scrape Web2.0

I saw some Youtubers talk about scraping & finding your own Web2.0 for backlinking so that you work with your niche rather than general industry.

Can someone show how to do this scraping using GSA?

I assume you are going to scrape broken web2.0s, right? If that is the case, you can do this job with a vanity name checker addon in the scrape box... That being said, web 2.0s are not working as they used to. Especially when passing link juice. Instead, try gsa with tiered link building. much better.

Also looking into GSA currently, so if you find any valuable information please don't forget to share your finds as well. So far I found this useful post from PHPInjected

No, not broken links. Trying to find niche-relevant sites as tier1 .. i know many here are advising that GSA should be used for tier2/3 .. but there are also some who say it's fine as long as you do it carefully, slowly and selectively. That's why I am not buying those advertised GSA verified list .. I want only my niche-specific list ... all because I don't know how to build tier1 links manually.

These are great too, but the best resource is the GSA community. Check out posts (not threads) for goldmine tips and tricks.

Mostly, you don't have to overkill with GSA. All you have to do is follow simple basics like always use high-quality content and data for your project. Your GSA success and outcome depend on what you're putting into it, so make your projects decent and proceed slowly. Since the UI has not changed, old tutorials are still valid. Choose only good engines and go slowly, especially if the site is new or you are new.

you also think it's ok to use GSA to build tier1 as long as done selectively, carefully & slowly?

I want to find niche-specific sites ... any idea where to buy or how to scrape?

Using GSA SER for niche specific is just a waste. In fact, it really doesn't make sense to use GSA, particularly for niche-specific sites, because GSA will be looking for CMS's footprints, and you can't be confident that you are going to build links only on a niche specific site. In other words, you are going to lose a lot of time and resources as well.

Having said that, I wonder why you have a real concern for automation of niche-specific link building, especially for web 2.0s. Today, it is tough to get indexed by many Web 2.0s. GSA has a specialty in tiered link building, which allows you to create your own tiered link building nicely and after you're done with creating a decent list of accounts, it save resources even on future runs. (captchas / emails )

There are bunch quality link list providers. although there is an overlap in each service, I always end up with more uniqueness, and it is worth the money.

I only use link lists from the marketplace and sometimes hrefer lists,

As I don't want to overkill the process on my link building i stick to posting not to scraping and filtering.

instead of trying to scraping niche related targets , you might want to target good, related content to feed GSA. (optimizing your content generator with proper anchor text rations etc ) I've found that SEO content machine is great for that. Combining SEOCM with GSA SER is a lifesaver.

Iike i said i am not a scraping specialist as i don't have time and money for those. But with Scrapebox , Google passed proxies , Automator for scrapebox and GSA PI with domdetailer credits you can build your own link list. used to scrape from hrefer , gscraper , scrapebox before there is a market for premium services damn those days lol.

now time is money for me..it all depends on how speed you can earn money ...cause real currency is time not money

one youtuber said that it' important to build contextual links to related sites. It will seems wrong to Google if we post articles about say furniture to a baking site.

Many here say to avoid bought backlinking services, because these providers are using the same softwares like RX, GSA, MR etc

This would realistically only matter if you were building links direct to your money site. Limiting posting to sites in the same niche (usually determined by keyword matches in automated tools) will also massively limit the number of links that will get built. Using your examples, I doubt there will be more than a handful of sites in the furniture or baking niche that GSA can post a contextual link on - and any that you do manage to find are probably full of all types of crap from previous posters.

Many don't know what a contextual link is; that's the main issue. I see many posts from users asking about contextual links for GSA.

Whether your backlink is going to be contextual or not will depend on your settings (the way you going to insert the link) . The way you are going to place the target (anchor text) is what's going to decide whether it's a contextual link or not.

About relevancy... if you do a simple research on SERPs, you will find little to no relevancy in their backlink profile. Relevancy can be practical in blog comments and forum profiles, but it will not be applied to many platforms like articles, microblogs etc.

I am not sure about the YouTuber you are referring to, but I am pretty sure you have no idea about how GSA or automation works. Otherwise, you don't care on relevancy. Cause its impossible to do. (unless you going to build your own very risky footprints flooded pbn)

I don't advise you to outsource, and I never do myself. Buying a proxy list, link list, or using automation software is not the same as outsourcing link building. With outsourcing, you don't know how quality the articles are going to be for your projects or the anchor text ratio, etc.

I would suggest you spend some time on those tools and invest some time and money in them. Without wasting time, crashing, and trial and error, you won't be able to master them. One thing: never, ever try to be perfect or overly cautious with link building. If you go to whitehat sub you will see how many crybabies are crying with new core update.

The best part is even after we are done with clean relevant backlink profile, google still gives favoritism to our competitor who own unethical blackhat backlink profiles

It used to be. But it became a forum of drug addicts showing off their plants and praising each other for growth of these.

Well, I know who you are talking about, lol. BTW I don't want to judge anyone..
I find a lot of helpful information there. After all, the forum is run by its customers, which is great, and we can simply request features there. Also, even the threads are old strategies, and as long as the UI doesn't change, it still gives value.

@SativaBuzz

Me neither, but I can and do differentiate between business and personal life, product/service and lounge/offtopic discussions. Mixing these harms the professional outcome. Anyway ...

To report bugs or to request features, I believe direct messages to the developer are more efficient. By the end of the day, it is his decision and work to act or not anyway.

I could not care less than about changes in the UI, even though I am used to it. What bothers me way more is the fact that the underlying key components like engines have not been updated for years and new ones are not being added. There have been signs (in the forum) that these will be made available (at cost) from users. For the time being, I am using other softwares and my own scripts for registrations and postings as the success rate in SER are just way too low.

I am kind of agree on you . Its nice to see some new engines on the software. However there are some 3rd parties. But didn't tried yet and still stick on default engines. Also mentioned that on their forum too
