Scrapebox Methods
Scrapebox methods…
Here’s just a few methods I use with the fantastic tool – Scrapebox. Most of these methods are pretty basic, but sometimes just seeing exactly how it’s used by others, it puts it in a more clear perspective and allows you to take these ideas and replicate. Although I urge people to try and put your own spin on them. What I will discuss here, is by no means earth shattering, however these methods work, and work very well. One thing to keep in mind is that with Scrapebox (or any other automated spam tool) – I use private proxies for comment spam, and I’ll use at least 20 of them, but for other features like pinging, harvesting, and rss submitting, I’ll use the harvested public proxies because you can get so many. Also – make sure you know how many threads your private proxy provider allows you to use and adjust your connection settings in Scrapebox. Some companies will suspend your account and your connections won’t work if you go over the max # of threads/connections.
The obvious way to use Scrapebox is by automating comment spam, which it does very fast and very well (this post will stick to comment spam – I’ll talk about other functions of Scrapebox in future posts and in my newsletter). There are many ways to use comment spam to promote your promoters (I never mass comment spam directly to a money site). For the most part, I use 2 main methods. First – there’s the targeted method. It’s generally accepted that its better if you get links from related sites in your niche. How true that is, I don’t know but it seems logical that if you had links from authority sites in your niche, you would do better than if they were from sites that are completely not related. So taking this into consideration – the first method, the targeted method – we will harvest sites that have something to do with your niche and/or target keywords.
Basically, I’ll start out by harvesting wordpress blogs from Google, Bing, Yahoo, and AOL. There’s a lot more wordpress sites than Blog Engine or Moveable Type – and they work better/faster (although you find more unmoderated with the other two so it’s good to use those too). I’ll use my main keywords that I’m trying to dominate – but usually those are too specific to harvest enough sites, so I also throw in a bunch of more general, but RELATED keywords. The more keywords – the longer it will take to harvest, but this is a numbers game – you want to get thousands or hundreds of thousands of urls. The more the better, because many will be duplicates, many will be moderated and unless you write some amazing, on topic comments, they won’t get approved. That’s one benefit to doing a keyword/niche targeted campaign, because although there’s less targets, more comments are more likely to get successfully posted because you can write comments about the niche. If they are on topic with the blogs you are posting on, it’s more likely they get approved.
So harvest your blog list with targeted and general niche-related keywords. Hopefully you’ll get a nice big list. If not, use different but related keywords. Remember, this is just to get a big list of blogs, it doesn’t have to be the exact keywords you want to target. Then I’ll of course remove the duplicate URLs. Now – removing the duplicate domains depends on a few things – how well my comments are spun or how many comments I have, and also the # of proxies.. I remember doing a run a few weeks ago, where I actually spammed my own blog – FOUR times with four different posts… BUT when I was looking at the comments – they were from different IPs (from diff. parts of the country) and the names/emails were different, AND the sites that were being promoted were different, AND the comments were completely different (not only do I spin the comments using The Best Spinner – but I use LOTS of completely different comments). So it really looked like different people commenting on my site. So if you do spam the same site’s various blog posts – just make sure you are able to make it look different from each other. And this varies depending on how much time I have… So sometimes I’ll remove duplicate domains, sometimes I won’t.
About the comments used – this varies a lot with me as well. It depends on a lot of different factors: the amount of time I want to spend on this project (usually not a lot – remember, this is just mass comment spam!), whether I’m doing a targeted campaign, or whether I’m just going for lots of links, and so on. So for doing targeted campaigns – I use on topic comments – comments that have my keywords in them. Sometimes I’ll write a bunch myself (again, depending on how much time I want to spend), or sometimes I’ll do a method like comment extractors. When you use comment extractors – just remember to go over the list and remove the pointless ones (you’ll get them), remove the vulgar ones, remove the short ones, remove any with URLs, etc… Then I’ll take my comments and put them through everyone’s favorites in The Best Spinner. Then I put it up in Scrapebox and let it rip.
About the websites list in Scrapebox. This is the list of sites you are promoting. You don’t want to put too many URLS on there. You just won’t get the # of links per url to make it worthwhile. So it might mean you have to do a few runs, but that also gives you more/different blogs to spam (since you will harvest using other keywords) so it’s a good idea anyways. I always keep it under 10. But the # will vary depending on how many blogs I harvested. If I’m doing Blog Engine, or Moveable Type – there’s going to be a LOT less, so I’ll probably only promote a few (3). The other thing you have to keep in mind is Akismet and other tools like that will ban a URL from being promoted, so if you only put 1 URL in there – you probably won’t get a lot of successful posts because it will get banned (I don’t know how fast it bans a URL, but why push it). Or it may work fine that one run, but if you try to do more runs with that URL, they may not be as successful. Anyhow – it’s good to have a few urls promoted, but not too many.
About the names list – some people use the names generator to make it look more normal, and some use keywords since that is where the link will be on. If you use keywords, your success rate will go down. How much, I’m not sure, but it will definitely be less. I do both. I use the regular names, and keywords – and I mix up the list.. I definitely use more regular names than keywords though. With the emails – I have it create about 20 emails with one fake domain name, and 20 more with another fake domain name, and I do that about 3-5 times so that it’s not all using the same domain name. That’s another way it could block you and lower your success rate.
So now you have your targeted blog list, your website list, your names and emails and comment list. At this point – you can use the new blog analyzer to remove the bad urls (some of the harvested urls will no longer be pointing to a good page or site)… or you can let it rip.
That’s it for the targeted comment spam campaign. Now let’s go for the bigger numbers game.
There’s only really two big differences between the two..
First – it’s the keywords… This won’t be a targeted list. Targeted lists limit your scope. Here, we want to get the biggest blog list that you can. So you’re going to want to use VERY general keywords and you’re going to want to use a LOT of them. Remember – when scraping/harvesting Urls, you are limited to 1,000 results PER keyword. That doesn’t mean you can only get 1000 results, it means you can only get 1000 results for every keyword you scrape. So the more keywords, the more results – but if the keywords are too similar, you’ll get a lot of duplicates which is just wasting time. So you want to come up with a big list of varying, completely different keywords… Keywords like: celebrity, computers, entertainment, education, money, sales, sports, games, work, etc… Hopefully you get the picture. Come up with as many general keywords as you can. And you can have Scrapebox scrape more using those keywords to get more, but just remember that it will produce more duplicates that way – but you will get a little more. Using those types of keywords, you will get a LOT of blogs to spam.
Second – the comments. Since you aren’t targeting a specific niche, it’s hard and/or pretty much impossible to come up with on-topic comments since you are spamming such a broad selection of blogs and niches.. This is where you want to stroke the blog author’s ego.. I always mix it up – I include comments related to my niche I’m promoting because a lot of blogs aren’t moderated and the comments will get through so you might as well have your keywords in the content. But on moderated blogs, those probably won’t get approved since it’s probably not related to the blog post. So I mix it up. I’ll use pretty generic comments, talking about how great the post is (you can now add things like %BLOGTITLE% to the comments and it will put the page title there – its good to make it look like you are actually writing the comment), etc.. There’s two schools of thought on this – come up with really ingenious comments that will get approved, or just put whatever, keyword stuff, and a bunch of links since only the unmoderated sites will allow them.. I try to do both.
Third – depending on the size of the list you harvest, you can add more sites to the website list. If you have a huge list, you might want to because of the sheer volume of comments you’ll get. If you get 5000 links to a Squidoo lens, you might get complaints, your lens might get deleted, or the links might get discounted due to the speed and volume of your link velocity.
That’s it for now. I hope this was helpful. I’ll definitely be writing about some more methods on how to use Scrapebox, in the future…also read Scrapebox Posting Tips.

Scrapebox Auto Approve List And Posting Tips
Scrapebox is actually an impressive blog site comment posting software used by many internet marketers. While utilized effectively, it provides the potential to become extremely powerful and highly effective for attaining fantastic positions in Google and yahoo and also various other search engines. The ideal way to be able to obtain these benefits is to post to as many higher quality as well as high page rank weblogs as doable. Rather than wasting time scraping the list of blogs, posting comments on them and wishing that some get approved, now there are Scrapebox Auto Approve Lists. A Scrapebox auto approve list is a list of pre scraped and also examined sites that whenever submitted to, will immediately approve the post. This is excellent regarding obtaining quite a lot of back-links to any web site. Having said that, it’s important to be cautious that you pick a top quality list when implementing auto approve lists.
Lower quality lists undoubtedly have hundreds and hundreds of spammy back links on them which will reduces the Pr of the web site which in turn lessens the value of the website link back to your blog. Also, with lower quality auto approve lists Google has found the lower quality web page and could punish the back-links on the web page. Nonetheless, do not be concerned simply because with higher quality lists, the performance is very awesome. Higher quality lists have higher page rank blogs, occasionally even .edu sites with typically less than ten outbound backlinks on them, so you harvest a lot more of the advantages.
When you have bought a good auto approve list for Scrapebox, it’s quite easy to use. Just about all you have to do is import the list into scrapebox, configure your comment options and press begin! Most Scrapebox lists may be used with the Fast Poster, which in turn signifies that it will probably publish extremely rapidly and also will not make use of captchas. It is inexpensive as well as incredibly quick. Different lists that use the Slow Poster use Captcha breaks and will be much slower, nevertheless they are generally of better quality. This is because it is more pricey as well as time intensive to submit to them, which usually means they are much less likely to have as many links as other auto approve lists.
Purchase the best list at this website Scrapebox Auto Approve List.
Posting Tips:
Set up the fast poster time out to 90 seconds. Make sure the list is random so not to overload the servers with multiple posts.
Update your “Slow and Manual Poster Blog Links” settings found in the settings menu. Max it out to 4096 KB. It is not documented but the Fast Poster also uses this setting.
To randomize the list, load it into harvester, select the blog analyzer add on, load the list from harvester into the analyzer, select shuffle, then save the list back to the harvester. I find this method much more successful over using the ScrapeBox option “Randomize Comment Poster Blogs List”.
Try not to do more than 50 connections at a time unless you have a fast network connection with a fast machine. I use 100 on a dedicated 8 processor (2xquad) machine with a 100MB internet connection. The bots use 10 at a time on the same machine.
Break the list down to 75K to 100K entries at a time. Google “NotePad++” to cut and paste into multiple lists, this is the text editor I use.
Export failed entries from the Comment Poster and reload this list of failed entries into the harvester for a second run. You will normally find 25% or more of the entries are successful on a second try. Don’t forget to shuffle this second list as well! A third run will result in even more successes, but the count is usually to low to make the time and effort worth while.
Don’t trust the “failed” results in the bottom right column of ScrapeBox. ScrapeBox reports fails with 302 (redirect) errors on posting as well at 500 (server error) errors. There seems to be new plugins on blogs lately that report all posts as 404 (not found) errors even though the post was successful. I find that in most cases, the link is really posted. You can verify this for yourself by exporting the “failed entries” in the comment poster after fast posting and load this failed list back into ScrapeBox and Check Links.
Most important: Buy private proxies for a way higher posting success rate. Don’t use the proxies sources built into scrapebox, most these are banned and black listed. Don’t mix public and private proxies.

SEO And Backlinks Management Using ScrapeBox To Improve Google PageRank
SEO is not what we can call an exact science. Often SEO experts and webmasters have different opinions on how to get a website ranked faster, or higher in search results (SERP). Site age, content, links, speed, quality, freshness and validation all come into play. One thing everyone agrees, though, is that generally speaking the more backlinks to one website the better positioning in Google and other search engines. How to obtain these backlinks, what kind, from where, how many backlinks and many other details is where we can find a plethora of opinions, software utilities, and different techniques. These go from traditional manual link building to the more sophisticated and controversial black hat and spamming techniques.
In this article I will try to explain how to use one of the most popular backlinks builder software on the market, ScrapeBox. At its core this utility is basically a spamming tool, but before you may think that for this reason you should avoid using it (or not), please read on, for ScrapeBox is a serious tool that can be used for many different things and not necessarily just spamming.
First thing I want to say about this software is first, that I am not in any way involved with the authors, and second, that ScrapeBox is very intelligent, very well made, constantly updated and well worth the little money it costs. It is actually a pleasure to use, unlike many SEO utilities on the market. Please do not try to get this software illegally, instead purchase it because it is definitely worth the investment if you are serious in building your own arsenal of SEO tools.
The interface is at first slightly intimidating, but in fact, it is quite easy to navigate. The design is graphically oriented to what the software does in a semi-hierarchical order, divided in panels. From top-left, these are: 1) Harvesting, where you find blogs of interests to your niche 2) Harvested URLS’s management 3) Further management. From the bottom-left we have 4) Search engines and proxies management 5) The ‘action’ panel, i.e. comments posting, pinging and relative management. So basically it is quite easy to understand what to do from the first time you run the program. In the following paragraphs I will be giving a basic walkthrough, so please make sure you are still with me so far and read on.
First you want to find proxies, these are necessary so search engines such as Google do not think that are receiving automated queries from the same IP and also, since ScrapeBox has an internal browser, to browse and post anonymously. Clicking on Manage Proxies opens the Proxies Harvester window which can quickly find and verify multiple proxies. Of course good quality proxies are also being offered for sale on the web, but the proxies that ScrapeBox finds are generally good enough, although they must be regenerated very often. Notice that we haven’t even started yet and already have proxies finder and anonymous browsing, see how different parts of ScrapeBox are worth the price of the software alone, and what I meant when I said that you can use this program for many different things? Once verified the proxies are transferred to the main window, where you can also select the search engines you want to use, and (very nice) the time span of returned results (days, weeks, months etc.). After this first operation, you go to the first panel, where keywords and an (optional) footprint search can be entered. For example imagine we want to post on WordPress blogs related to a particular product niche. We can right-click and paste our list of keywords in the panel (we can also scrape the keywords with a scraper or a wonder-wheel. In fact, ScrapeBox is also a great keywords utility), then we select WordPress and hit Start Harvesting. ScrapeBox will start looking for WordPress blogs related to this niche. ScrapeBox is fast and getting huge lists of URLs does not take long. The list automatically goes in the second panel, ready for some trimming. But let’s stay in the first window for a moment. As obvious, you can look for other kind of blogs (BlogEngine etc.) but more importantly, you can enter your own custom footprint (in combination with your keywords list). Clicking on the tiny down arrow reveals a selection of pre-built footprint, but you can also enter entirely new footprints in the empty field. These footprints basically follow the same Google advanced syntax, so if you enter for example: intext:”powered by wordpress”+”leave a comment”-”comments are closed” you will find WordPress blogs open to comment. Do not forget the keywords, which you can also type on the same line. For example a footprint like this one: inurl:blog “post a comment” +”leave a comment” +”add a comment” -”comments closed” -”you must be logged in” + “iphone” is perfectly acceptable and will find sites with the term blog in the url, where comments are not closed, for a keyword such as Iphone. Last thing before we move on to the commenting part: you can also get very good quality backlinks if you register in forums rather that posting/commenting, in fact even better because you can have a profile with a dofollow link to your website. For example, typing “I have read, understood and agree to these rules and conditions” + “Powered By IP.Board” will find all the Invision Power Board forums open for registration! Building profiles requires some manual work of course, but using macro utilities such as RoboForm greatly reduces the time. FIY the biggest forum and community platforms are:
Vbulletin –> “Powered by vBulletin” 7,780,000,000 results
keywords: register or “In order to proceed, you must agree with the following rules:”
PhpBB –> “Powered by phpBB” 2,390,000,000 results
Invision Power Board (IP Board) –> “Powered By IP.Board” 70,000,000 results
Simple Machines Forum (SMF) –> “Powered by SMF” 600,000 results
ExpressioonEngine –> “Powered By ExpressionEngine” 608,000 results
Telligent –> “powered by Telligent” 1,620,000 results
Please notice the number of results you can get, literally billions of sites waiting for you to add your links! You can easily understand how with ScrapeBox things can get really interesting and how powerful this software is.
It is clear that the harvesting panel is where most of the magic happens, you should spend some time playing with it, and above all, being creative and intelligent. For example, you could check your own site(s) to see the amount of backlinks (or indexed pages, with the site:youdomain operator). Also, what about spying your competitors backlinks? You could enter link:competitorsite.com and find the sites that links to it, then you could get the same backlinks yourself from the same sites to give you an edge. Sadly Google’s link: operator does not give all the links (Matt Cutts of Google explains why on YouTube) but it is still very useful. (ScrapeBox however helps us once again with a useful add-on called Backlink checker which finds all the links to a site from Yahoo Site Explorer. You can then export and add these to the links from the link: operator, then using the Blog Analyzer you can post on your competitors links and get their same rank!). As said be creative as much as you can.
We are now looking at the second panel (URL’s Harvested) where automatically ScrapeBox saves our results. Also automatically (if you want to) duplicate URLs are deleted. After spending much time and attention harvesting and testing different footprints, these URLs are obviously precious to us, and ScrapeBox offers a large number of functions to manage them. We can save and export (txt, Excel etc.) the list, compare them with previous lists (to delete already used sites for example), and most importantly, we can check the quality of the sites, i.e. Google/Bing/Yahoo indexed and PageRank. We can for example only keep sites within a certain PageRank range. (The PageRank checker is incredibly fast). Notice that in the footprint we can also use the site: operator, for example to find.edu and.org sites only. This and the PageRank checker allow us to harvest really excellent quality links. There is also a function to grab emails addresses from the sites. We can also right-click and visit the URL via our default browser or the internal (proxied) one. For example imagine that you have found some high rank.edu or.org sites open for comments, you definitely do not want to automatically post generic content on these, you may therefore decide to manual post using the internal browser. In fact, for many users, ScrapeBox ends here, i.e. most people do not use the automatic commenter at all. I indeed do agree with this technique, for a single PR7 backlink with a good anchor text is better than hundreds of generic links in my mind. Then again, as said in the beginning, there are many opinions on this. ScrapeBox does offer the option to build thousands of automatic backlinks overnight. Is this effective? To me, not much. Is ScrapeBox bad because of this? No, because it also offers you the capability of much more creative backlinking (and SEO in general, and research) work. I would like to open a parenthesis on this. First the much debated Google “sandbox” mode, meaning the rumour that if you build 3,000 links on a site overnight Google will put the website out of search results because of suspected “spamming”. This is in my opinion obviously not true, for one could do the same for a competitor and ruin them. Second thing, programs like ScrapeBox keep selling thousands of copies and the number of blogs open for un-moderated commenting are limited and heavily targeted, especially for competitive niches. This means that blind commenting is basically useless. You can see that yourself just browsing, there are thousands of worthless blogs with pages and pages of fake comments such as “thank you for this”, “this has been helpful” and so on and so forth. Having said that, the commenting panel is an important function in ScrapeBox, useful for other things too, so let’s see how it works.
On the right part of the lower panel you can see a number of buttons, these allow to insert the details necessary to do the commenting. These are basically text files containing (from the top) fake names, fake emails addresses, your own (real!) website(s) URL, fake (spinnable) comments, and the last one contains the harvested URL’s (clicking on the List button above will pass the list here). ScrapeBox comes with a small number of fake names and email addresses and even comments. Of course, it is up to you to create more (they are chosen randomly), and also to write some meaningful comments which theoretically should make the comment look real. This is important if the blog is moderated, for the moderator should believe that the comment is pertinent. I personally can tell if a comment is real or fake, on my blogs, even if it’s half a page long. Many do not even bother, hence the Internet is full of the aforementioned “Thank you for this!” stupid comments. What to do here of course is entirely up to you. If you have the inclination, write quite a number of meaningful comments. If you don’t, go ahead with “Thank you for this!” and “Great pictures!”. Of course, there is no guarantee that these comments will stick. (By the way, you could, of course, even increase your own blog(s) popularity, posting fake comments to your site). After filling these text tabs, the last operation left is the actual commenting, this is easily done selecting the blog type previously chosen during the harvesting and then Start Posting. Depending on the blog type and the number of sites, this can take a while, especially if using the Slow Poster. A window will open with the results in real time. Unfortunately you will see many failures of course, for ScrapeBox diligently tries them all but there are so many reasons (comments closed, site down, bad proxy, syntax and many others) for a failure. You can, however, leave the program running overnight and see the results the day after. At the end of the “blast”, you will have several options, including exporting the successful sites URLs (and ping them), check if the links stick, and a few others. Speaking of pinging, this is another great feature possibly worth the price by itself, for you can artificially increase your traffic (using proxies of course) for affiliate programs or referrals, articles etc. There is also an RSS function which allows to send pings to multiple RSS services, useful if you have a number of blogs with RSS feed that you want to keep updated.
This covers the basic functions of the main interface. What’s left is the top row menus. From here, you can adjust many of the program defaults and features, such as saving/loading projects (so you don’t have to load comments, names, emails, websites lists etc. separately one by one), adjust timeouts, delays and connections, Slow Posting details, use/upgrade a blacklist and more. There is even a cool email and names generator, a text editor, and a captcha solver (you have to subscribe to a paid service separately though. Notice that captchas show up only when/if you browse, i.e. there is no annoying captcha solving during normal use and automatic posting). But an even more useful option is the add-ons manager, where (like if it wasn’t enough!) you can download quite a number of really useful extensions (all free and growing). Among them, the Backlink checker (already mentioned), the Blog Analyzer, which checks if a particular blog is postable from ScrapeBox (maybe one of your competitors, so you can get the same backlinks). Also a Rapid Indexer with a list of Indexer Service already provided. Plus some minor add-ons such as a DoFollow checker, Link extractor, WhoIs scraper and many others, even including Chess!
Backlinking is the most important part of search engine optimization, and ScrapeBox can consistently help with this difficult task, as well as many others. It is obvious that the author knows a big deal about backlinking and SEO, and how to make (and maintain) great software. ScrapeBox is a highly recommended purchase to anyone serious about search engine optimization. Despite being known as a semi-automated solution to “build thousands of backlinks overnight” it actually requires knowledge, planning and research, and it will perform better in the hands of creative and intelligent users.
