Hi, I'm considering to buy Scrapebox when I get paid from sharecash this month. I have 3 websites, and I wish to rank them to page 1, I'll also sell gigs for SB blasts. What I need to know about scrapebox is: (why is it recommended to...) Why do I need proxies? Why do I need a VPS? If there are any other things I should know about before or after buying Scrapebox please tell me. Thx
healzer, Why do you need proxies? Using proxies will prevent your IP from becoming black listed on sites running spam plugins such as Akismet. Further increasing your success rate with posting and allowing you for larger harvesting with Google/Yahoo/AOL etc. Plus, they are useful for certain tasks such as checking page rank. Why do you need a VPS? Technically, you don't. You can run Scrapebox perfectly fine from an old laptop or computer with at least 2 GB of ram. The key is having a good solid internet connection and network hardware otherwise you will be limited in the amount of concurrent connections. Many people choose to use a VPS since their home hardware/connection is not up to par with the high network demands of Scrapebox. Hope this helps. Best of luck, GoldenGlovez
Thanks GoldenGLovez for the answers! I was just wondering: I can manually change my IP (every24hrs autmaticlly), but akimset bans faster than that probably ?? I have 2gigz ram and 1Mb/s download speeds,... I gues my internet connection is pretty good. Thanks for all the information.!! -Healzer
To be on the safe side of receiving any spam complaints to your ISP, it's highly recommended to use at least 10 private proxies. As for you internet connection, 1MBps should be sufficient for low-medium usage. Personally, I use Scrapebox on a 30m Down connection (With about 4MBps download speed) and according to my tests for heavy use it utilizes maybe 30% of the available bandwidth.
Yes, aki$met bans way faster than that. Proxies are essential to keep you out of the spam filters. And yes, ScrapeBox runs on very low spec computers. The faster the computer, the more instances you can run, sounds you should be good to go on that front.
Proxies and VPS help automate things, without needing to change your IP manually and if you do big blasts like me, it runs 24 hours 7 days a week, you save money on your power bill too.
Owkay, awesome! Thanks for all the replies and tips guys! I just love BHW Now it's just some more waiting and finally buy scrapebox, soon, soon,
VPS are hosted somewhere else where bandwidth is cheap and their ISP's dont ban burst of network usage set to max all the time even 24/7. If you notice this servers are hosted in Russia, Netherlands or in Places in the Euros where government are lax to this kind of things unlike in the USA
Yea gotta love the government here, though too socialist, I get the feeling they don't know what is going on... perhaps cus they've failed to make a gvt for more than a year in belgium... I can recommend xsserver as its reliable, fast nd cheap. Tried some different IP providers and 2 out of 3 were shit. The time I was satisfied I got 12 for 30USD. Don't get shared proxies
