Another stupid f%cking question
"What is better a holiday in Greece or a new TV set"?
What is better FOR WHAT?
Scrapebox and NHSEO have virtually no functional overlap
For links - GSA
For scraping and many other things Scrapebox
Yes scrapebox can make links - but that's not its primary aim (the hint is in the title of the application)
Yes GSA can scrape platforms - but it would be a ball-ache to extract the hundreds of thousands SB can do in a day
I use Scrapebox and GSA 24/7 - and they never perform the same task. Each is performing a task the other either cannot do - or would struggle to do with one 50th of the efficiency
Some of the replies on here are from cretins who wouldn't know SEO from the hole at the bottom of their back.
are you running GSA as tier 1 as well ?
In soft niches GSA can just about do tier one. Make sure you load it up with a ton of content and set appropriate OBL, and PR requirements - turn off the huge number of guest books and directories it has.
Short term having 95% of your links as trackbacks, pingbacks, guestbooks and directories might give you a boost.
Long term these links are almost completely useless (
most are transient anyway - ie the URL you post your link on will slide down the sites canonical structure of the site as the link ages)
You can almost think of GSA as "Xrumer Lite" - lots of variation, struggles for the control and exact mix/placement and of course has zero in the way of bespoke/custom coded platforms. The best lower tier linking tool available at the moment
