Scrapebox Instances

etceteraman said:

I just created total 6 instances of Scrapebox V2 inside my Window 2016 VPS.

So I went ahead and named them to keep track: scrapebox001 to scrapebox006. (creative , eh??) At least I thought I did. I went to options. made change. saved. BUT when I made change next one and went back later to look at first instance it had become a mirror of the instance I just changed. Same each time I created a new instance all from original copy.....

WHY??? What happened?? How do I make each instance rename STICK???? so i know what I am using. Very confusing.

Any thoughts what I am doing wrong??

Thx

I am an expert at scrapbox. You have two options use one of those assembly debuggers or buy seperate licenses. They use cryptography to confirm that an instance is valid before connecting to their servers so some cruddy multi instance software aint gonna hack it

This is simply wrong information. You can run an unlimited number of instances of scrapebox on the same machine.



Yes of course. They develop it and support it 365 days a year for more then a decade.



So my guess is that you have somehow tried to run more then 1 instance out of the same folder and each time you save options its writing to the 1 ini file and the others are seeing it. A guess without seeing your setup.

Make sure each scrapebox instance is run from a separate folder.

Also the way I do it is I create shortcuts on my desktop. Then I named the shortcut like scrapbox 1 or something descriptive. Then I run that and then you can right click on the taskbar/start bar and be able to see the name right in the start bar.

Hi Loopline
Got the instances issue solved no prob.

I just ran 1 of my college list 1929 records in the social media addon.
worked great. did it real slow - 9 connections, tons of soc media hits + lots of other page hits also
however the addon is stuck at record 1927, 2 connection still connected. i did hit stop but that still not work.
been going this way over 1 hour now
i am worried if I close i will loose everything and need start over.

Any ideas?? I using VPS so can keep open forever...

Thx

Hi again Looline

Ok just got


so cancel above finally stopped over 1 hour.

So Loopline I got a nice WIIIDDDEEE spreadsheet out of it. all the nice URLs (over 1,900) based on .edu for the diff social media. At same time I had dug down for comment, contact & form, so not certain where I might find them on this massive spreadsheet.

Any thoughts. You want a copy of this miracle??

Can scrapeboard work on mobile?

loopline said:

Glad it finished. What can happen is that if 1 of the urls is returning tiny amounts of data it can drag the connection on for hours.

No I don't have use for the spreadsheet, but thanks anyway!

Im not sure what you have combined together there. I would just try doing some find, like ctrl+F and search for words like

comment
contact
etc....

Hi loopline
so I got all my college lists processed with social addon. big spreadsheets.

on scraped URLs if i use comment or blog poster am watching the vieos. i unsure is there any limits to pseudo email acct i can create and use to access. if i only create/use 1,000 does it quit at that point or just reuse from start??

loopline said:

There is no limit in scrapebox poster as to how many emails you can use. you can load in 4 million if you want, although keeping in mind everything you load in uses memory so loading in a reasonable size list is ideal, 4 million is way overkill. Scrapebox picks them at random and uses them. So yes they will be used more then once if you have more urls to post to then emails that you load in.

Hi Loopline

Sorry to bother you again. I just finish scrape V2.1+ 130K cleaned college URLs. I used Custom Scraping, 7880 KW, 2 threads, 29 fresh http proxies from buyproxies, checked dump bad proxies, 3 engines selected only: Google, Yahoo & Bing. The Yahoo & Bing harvested very well, but Google indicated harvesting but returned ZERO URLs, no blacklist, no errors. After complete I tried only do Google says harvesting but still zero URLs. It does seem to stall with Google still processing after all done??? I did watch the videos many times but can not discover my failure??? What am I missing here??

Thx

Here is a copy and paste from scrapebox support:

"
Google changes their code from time to time and breaks scrapebox and we simply release a new engine update to fix it. However many users customize the engines to a significant degree for various purposes, so we do not force engine updates as it overwrites users engine modifications.



On that note, if you do have modified engines, the below steps will overwrite them, so make sure you Back them up first!



If you go to settings >> harvester engine configuration >> import >> download default engines



Then you will have the latest engine file and google will work."

I am wondering. On the detail scraper, it has the DEEPERWEB. I looked up on net and do now understand what it is, but my question is does it have any real value or use or relevance when scraping for sites based on KW. I am doing scrapes right now just using Google, Bing and Yahoo in detail scraper. At present for one job scraped over 1.6 million so far off ONE 14,000+ KW list. So next time if I included the DEEPERWEB as my 4th choice would that be of any use???

Eventually with all the valid cleaned scraped sites I will POST to in-site forms and blogs and guestbooks, etc. to intro my online busn. I pulled out 6,000 kw free from Wordstream . 60 diff categories as my seed kw. lots of short and long tailed kw.
