I'm new to scrapebox, I've been successfully scraping Google with mpp proxies for the past month. I'm interested in analysing the results for some keywords based on US users but I'm only getting results as if I'm in the UK. I'm UK based with US proxies, I feel I should get US results but I do not. What am I missing here?
Thanks
 
Your proxies might be revealing your location. Are you using transparent proxies? You need to be using L1 elite proxies.

In harvester engine configuration do you have google.com or google.co.uk set?

I tried to provide a sceenshot but am unable to upload currently.

I'm using the private proxies from mpp, they describe them as "All headers are disabled, super elite private proxies that filter your real IP and replaces it with its own." which makes me think I'm not doing something right

I checked its definitely google.com

That description is the description you want for the type of proxy you need! Hopefully loopline knows!

You can also email scrapebox support directly as well as post here.They are very helpful and friendly!
 
There is nothing in scrapebox that controls the headers or ips other then using proxies, so of course just make sure you actually do have the "use proxies" box checked, because I have forgotten to check that a time or two :)

Else you can force google to give you a specific googles results regardless of the ip.

Google changed things in October 2017 so local google searches will not necessarily give you results from the engine you choose. So you can go to settings - harvester engine configuration - and edit the google engine and add a couple strings. the location factor gl=de Example https://www.google.com/search?gl=de&l... So the gl=de is an example of forcing google to set the location to de. You would put in your 2 letter country code. Also in the url you see the &lr=lang_de That sets the language, so setting that to the laguange of results you want also helps. So add those 2 strings to the end of the url that is there, and save it as a new engine. Then use that engine and you should get the google local results you want.

You will need to save it as a new engine.
 
Thanks @loopline its good to know about changing the location on the engine, I was trying to figure that one out and failed. It is possible I forgot to click use proxies, annoying after it had run for so long, I've ordered more proxies from MPP and it seems to be working fine. Something I find interesting is when I looked up my ip location on one of the many sites that do it, it saw me as being in California, but when I tried it in Google it showed my real location. Doing the same with the new proxies it shows the US address on both. MPP say they can't see anything wrong with the original proxy. I've also noticed the new proxies have a much lower success rate when scraping Google, they're not getting banned just returning 0 results. This is happening even with the same delay and same set of keywords. Are these variations normal when using proxies or is it just me?
 
make sure you choose the proxies and save some money and buy quality proxies, man, and I suggest that you reset your device as a last resort

variations is always a thing with proxies, especially when you add google into the mix, lol.

However sometimes more then other times.

Try the detailed harvester, it has endless retries. So you can try harvesting some sample queries. IF it works great, if it just cycles thru ips, then each ip that it cycles thru is banned.

The good news is that as a general rule if you let the proxies rest for 48 hours and then try they wil most often be unbanned

These are the places I recommend for proxies

however google doesn't return a lot of links these days for this type of query, test it in a browser and see if your getting the links you want and then put it in scrapebox so you can get the same results.
