Id say this is a lack of understanding about how google indexing things not that scrapebox is crappy.
Scrapebox reports to you exactly what google gives it, the question is do you understand how google works and are you giving scrapebox what it needs to get what you want? The answer is most likely no on at least 1 of those counts or more.
different googles index things differently. Your url may be indexed and on page 1 in google.com and on page 10 in google UK and not indexed at all in Google China.
Google redirects your requests based on the geographic location of your ips.
So if you load in proxies from China, Italy and Kenya and you index check the same url you could get it as being idexed or not indexed for any of those locations. Its not that scrapebox is crappy its that google is redirecting your request to the google that is associated with the geo of the ip your using. Then scrapebox accurately reports whatever google gives it.
It goes deeper then this, but you need to understand that there is no such thing as indexed or not indexed in "google". There is such a thing as indexed or not indexed in google.com and indexed or not indexed in google UK and indexed or not indexed in google Italy, ASSUMING all things are equal.
There is also such a thing as indexed in google italy for firefox and not indexed in google italy for chrome. Or indexed in google UK for 10 results per page and not indexed in google UK for 100 results per page.
User agent, geo of the ip, etc... all play a part. You could take 10 machines and search the same thing with USA IPs and get 10 different sets of results, sometimes missing some urls and urls ordered differently.
So indexed is subjective to the same thing, google returns all kinds of different results for all kinds of different things, plus if your urls are weak when it comes to links, then that just makes it even more variance. Higher authority domains will be "less" subject to this, but still subject to geo and relevane and user agent and 10 results vs 100 and more.
So really you need to decide on your target, like my customers are from the USA, and then index check with only USA ips.
Or you could just do what I do and say is index checking even worth doing in the first place or should I just put that time and effort into actually building as many quality links as I can?
But do as you want, but before you blame a tool for being crappy, you should examine if perhaps the knowledge you have of how google works is lacking or if the entire idea of index checking is even worth it?
Definitely there is a lot to understand about google and when something doesn't work as I expect I ask why and dig rather then just blame the tool. Because I know 1 very important thing to be completely true.
The Tool is Only as Good as the Master. So I always examine and endevour to make sure I am as good as possible so I can get the tool to give me what I want.
My 2 cents.
Also as a side note, its generally frowned upon to resurrect old threads like you did, BHW mods prefer you just start a new relevant thread or you could post in the scrapebox sales thread.
