Guys, I need your help! I've been trying to get back into the swing of data scraping with Scrapebox Contact Form Poster, and it's driving me nuts! No matter what I do, it's showing zero success, even after successful manual postings. I've got my proxies enabled, and every other things look pretty fine, but 0 success post. Am I the only one pulling my hair out with this? If anyone else is facing the same frustration, please let me know so we can figure this out together. I'm counting on your expertise, forum fam!

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my message!

Your input is highly appreciated...

I've considered GSA Contact Form, but I'm just starting over, and it's a bit out of my budget at the moment. I'm really on the lookout for the best alternative that won't break the bank. Anyone having success with scrapebox contact form poster? I'd be incredibly grateful to learn!

This system is moderately costly. You've to burn money at least in-
1. Proxies - recurring
2. RDP - recurring
3. Captcha - recurring
4. Contact Lists - recurring
5. GB Contact form - Onetime
+ domain, hosting, CRM, etc.

For my purpose, I've got a robust machine and Scrapebox excels at scraping, so buying a contact list isn't a problem. My main focus is on getting excellent results without breaking the bank. Let's hope to find a solution that aligns perfectly with my needs!

Well you can skip the RDP/VPS and use a home office machine. You will need at least 1 proxy, but 5 to 10 would be better.

You can use a captcha solver software so that its a 1 time investment - or you can skip for now as 50%+ of forms don't even use captchas.

you can buy contact forms from my signature if you like

But when your using scrapebox, the first key is the platforms column. If its mostly empty white boxes then the pages aren't loading, but if its saying unknown then it doesn't know the platform. If it names the platform but fails thats different too.
I have a bunch of info along with a modified ini file for scrapebox that will improve success here:

Well your getting names in the platforms field so thats good. The failed general unknown could be a host of things. The challenge is the list is very small, so its hard to say.

the ini file I give away free is going to like 2x success, but still with such a small list its hard to troublehsoot.

So the first thing I would recommend is to see if you can get a list of at least 1000 urls and go from there. that way there is a sample size to look at things

Did it lock up? Because thats an issue you need to deal with, whatever is locking the threads, because if you load a big list it will have issues.

That said, I see a lot of unknown, those are ones not compatible.

I see a couple failed detecting forms, thats normal, if there is no form or no compatible form on the page.

The failed/general unknown, those could be an actual failure or it could be an ini issue, you could try this

I have a free ini file there, and then you can modify the ini file further if you like.
 
copy amd paste the code below into a new ini file in your sb configuration folder. Just name it something like "textarea". Here you go:

[setup]
FriendlyName=TEXTAREA
Platform=Contact Form

PageMustContain=</textarea>

Yo, this just changed my life... I've spent every day for the last couple weeks trying to get the contact form working, modified 1000 ini files, was losing hope...

How much deeper could this go? Using @loopline 's ini file he offers on his FAQ site, modifying my own versions, the most I had was 4 of 3700 succeed... with yours I am running the same list, and had 354 succeed 3367 fail...
Most that failed say "failed" or "failed detecting form" - which examining a few off the top, the form definitely exists
 
I coded it so it ignores forms with captcha or anything like that as well as ignoring newsletter sign up forms. I guess if you're using a service that can handle recaptchas then you could take that part out for more successful sends. However, I have to admit that GSA is still better at posting than scrapebox. It just has a more robust database of text and code that identifies contact forms and also it can post to JavaScript forms that scrapebox cannot.

I am using public proxies, getting 10% success rate with your code, which is mind blowing. Is the success message really "success"?
Btw excellent share!
