Thanks guys.
LOL. yea, thats what I figured.
I usually just harvest my list doing the following;
1. Extract 'external' links from an existing AA blog.
2. From that list, extract the backlinks
3. By then, I will have a BIG list of backlinks (however, I find only 30% of them are comment-able)
4. After blasting, I realize that only 10% of the 30% BL are found.
Is this normal?
Thanks again
I stopped using Blog Analyzer. Here's my old method:
1. Fresh proxies and updated blacklist.
2. Take an AA list and "Grab Comments". This will take all the comments out of the list which I then import into the Footprints. I know most comments are spun but I've never had a problem.
3. Run footprints through the Harvestor. Most likely this will max out the results at 1 million. Harvestor will remove the Blacklisted URLs during this process.
4. Remove duplicate URLs and duplicate Domains. Will cut the list down to about 500k.
5. Run Malware add-on. This cuts the list in half, 250k.
6. Blog Analyzer will cut the list down to 30%, 75k.
7. Blast.
8. Export Success and Fail.
9. Reblast Fail.
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 until success rate is below 10% or I'm just tired of doing it.
11. Merge all the Success files together and Check Links for AA URLs.
I can usually get about a 40% to 50% final Success Rate on a list of about 75k of which 1% will be AA links.
I removed the Malware and Blog Analyzer part in order to improve efficiency. Everything else stays the same. My Success Rate is down to around 15%-20%, however since the list is larger I have a larger Success file and more AA links.
