Scrapebox recommend index checking settings

What settings do you use for google index checking in scrapebox? I have 20 semi-dedicated proxies that I purchased to use with scrapebox but it seems like they are getting blocked/banned. I am currently using 1 thread and a 1-second delay ( I was previously using 1 thread with no delay) What settings should I change? I'm new to the whole scrapebox thing. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but I followed those settings on there and I ended up with the issue of google blocks. Gonna try to increase the delay when they start working again.

Its all about speed, your just going too fast. Google only blockes because your going too fast, so slow it down. Meaning increase the delay.

index checking uses site:domain.com/url

so just go really high, like 60 delay. If that works, great then dial it back till you start getting blocked and then you know your sweet spot.Im "guessing" with 20 proxies your looking in the 30 to 60 second delay range, but it might need more then 60,it depends on the history of the proxies with google, the ip range etc... so its a bit of trial and error.

Thanks, I've adjusted the setting to allow more of a delay. It seems to be working fine now.

who remembers 2013-2015 with sbox when delays didnt matter
the good old days gone for ever.

Good old days... beer was a nickel and I didn't have a bald spot on the top of my head.

Scrapebox was a beast, linkwheels were the bomb and MFA sites made us all bank.

Yeah, I used to say "The good old days too" except I realized that 5 to 10 years from now Ill look back and say "remember the good old days in 2019 when it was so easy compared to how it is now?"

Helps me to look at how easy it is now and to take advantage of that.

But yeah, if I only had a time machine to go back to then... Or to take out a loan for 100K and plop it on bitcoin when it was pennies then wait till it went to 20K and sell...

I could have bought a private island and invited @proxygo and @BassTrackerBoats and I would give away toupee's and sell beer for a nickle and we all could reminisce....

Anyway, back to reality

beer was a nickle... I feel like everyone would have just been drunk all the time at that price, lol

Check out rotating proxies that switch every IP request. That way your proxies dont get banned. Been using stormproxies and no complaints

I have a video on that actually


However bear in mind that index checking isn't what it used to be, not all urls are indexed in all googles. So if you use world wide on rotating proxies, you may get results that are all over the map.

So its best to try and get ips from the geo that your trying to target. Like if your trying to target Europe, get Europe IPs, if your trying to rank for the USA get USA ips, I think storm offers both of those, and various providers may offer various things.

Used to index checking was pretty cut and dry, because it just always returned the same results or scrapebox checked google.com, but now that google redirects to the google that the ip is based from, if you use random proxies from random countries your going to get an indexed result based on the google of that country, which may or may not be relevant to your content so it may or may not be indexed for that given country. aka it might be indexed in google.com but not google china and if the ip is from china it may say its not indexed. hence the reason for ips from the country you want to rank for, or just get USA ips and it will check for google.com
