I'm using Scrapebox. I'm still trying out on not and I'm not much of a pro.
The only problem I have right now is that Scrapebox isn't harvesting any URL from google. It's harvesting from Bing, Yahoo, etc easily, but not google.
The proxies I'm using are google approved according to Scrapebox's Proxy Tester. I'm using 22 Google approved proxies.
Any help to further verify or troubleshoot the problem is much appreciated.
PS. Forgot to mention, it's given an error 403. I've tried with no proxies at all and still it can't extract URL's from google.
 
Do you have up to date version of Scrapebox ? Also have you tried scraping on virgin IP ? If not, give it a try, google tends to ban IPs very quickly these days so it might be a good idea to make a test scrape without proxies on up to 5 threads to see if it generates any results.
 
or go in the scrapebox thread...........or email support.................
 
You'll need a lot of proxies, google is really good and fast at banning proxies.
 
Assuming you have gone to settings >> harvester engine configuration >> import >> download default engines - and your engines are not up to date, then it means that your ips are banned.
There are different kinds of IP bans with Google. The proxy tester only tests against basic keyword search for google. However google can simultaneously allow basic keyword scraping and block other queries, especially advanced operators.

Google can block on many levels for multiple different things. Here is a video further explains it:

Proxies are banned, that's for sure. Like they said, you have to at least have virgin proxies to get results from google as they are really bad nowadays.
