@Doctor,
Hi - there's a few different issues in your last two posts, so I thought I'd write one reply.
First, on the issue of running ~20 instances of SB and them getting kinda confusing, yeah I can see where they would. I just noticed something myself in an attempt to see what you were seeing.
I am currently scraping URL's and am in one instance of SB. I launched another instance and I noticed that the URL's scraped so far in instance 1 are showing up in the URL's Harvested box in instance 2. Is that kinda similar to what you mean about them somewhat looking the same? Almost like some data bleeds over between instances?
While the programmer didn't limit the # of instances we could run, I also don't know how much any of us have looked at running that many instances. I usually run a few at a time but just notice that anomaly.
Excellent method you're using on mixing paid and free proxies. Very similar to what I do, and I get solid results from most commenting sprees.
I hear you about hidemyip, I wish they'd add sb to their supported list. And I agree that theoretically ScrapeBox using IE's proxy setting should allow it to work, but I'm not an expert in proxies. I submitted ScrapeBox to HMIP a few days ago as a requested app, I suspect a few others here have as well.
As for slowing down the post rate, you have a few options. One option is to throttle down the threads and connections. The other is to forces SB to always use the slow poster method. I kinda do the same thing as you - fire off a scrape or a spree and let it run for several hours while doing other things. So you might want to give that a go, the slow poster is more thorough in its attempts to post even when encountering various hardening methods on blogs.
As far as the numerous email bouncebacks regarding activation, I wonder if that also is related to the number of instances of SB you're running - as in perhaps there's an issue ScrapeBox where some kind of code collision is occuring when the different instances of the app try to validate the license concurrently. Interesting.....
peace,
gregs.
Actually what i meant with the 2 instances looking the same is "they LOOK the same"
the data is not the same. If you have the problem then make sure you make multiple copies of the Scrape box folder.
On my machine i have a main scrapebox folder and then sub scrape box folders like
Desktop \ Scrapebox \ Scrapebox-Scraping
Desktop \ Scrapebox \ Scrapebox-RSS Pinger
Desktop \ Scrapebox \ Scrapebox-Domain 1
Desktop \ Scrapebox \ Scrapebox-Domain 2
Desktop \ Scrapebox \ Scrapebox-Domain 3
Desktop \ Scrapebox \ Scrapebox-Domain 4
In this folder : Desktop \ Scrapebox \ Scrapebox-Scraping
I have just the main program and a folder called Keywords, which is then keywords for the different domains that i scrape.
So i will scrape keywords, then save the results in each domains folder and name them :
Bloglist - Wordpress
Bloglist - MOveable type
Bloglist - Blog engine
In each of my domain folders : Desktop \ Scrapebox \ Scrapebox-Domain 4
I will have :
Bloglist - Wordpress
Bloglist - MOveable type
Bloglist - Blog engine
Website - This i get from the sitemap of my domain i promote, so i will have say a 1000 links
A mass email list of 100 000 emails ( found it in the forum)
Related namelist ( i use wp mage ) to scrape say 5000 keywords but set it to only 2 word per keyword generated, so if my domain is about cats, i will have a name list of about 5000 looking like this :
cat food
cat milk
cat bed
cat books
The Desktop \ Scrapebox \ Scrapebox-RSS Pinger folder, well all i use that is for pinging all the links that is in the domain folders, what i do is take each domain's links, run it thru keyword manipulator and mass add /feed at the end of each link, walla a rss feed
Have some more but will post later
Thanks for the yip on the slow poster setting i will give it a try....
