@joel - Thanks for the suggestions pal! We have both things on our to-do
list in fact, it's just a matter of time in getting to them . So much
to do, so little time!
This definitely looks good. I've tried it a bit and it got links very quickly. I was going to take the route of Gscraper and Proxies and maybe a 2nd VPS, but right now, I probably won't have to. And it'll save money for me too. Thanks for this new service! Keep up the good work!
I’ve recently decided to scrape my first list with Scrapebox
for GSA SER. I extracted the footprints from GSA SER and headed to Scrapebox
with 30 semi proxies. For some reason, I couldn’t scrape Google. After some
research on forums, I concluded that the proxies were to blame and tried to
play with connection settings and different proxies for about a week or so.
This however didn’t yield any results. Luckily, I was moving SB to a VPS and
running a new instance of Scrapebox magically solved every issue.
Roughly this time I came across to Scrapebandit and gave it
a try. It’s kind of strange not to have a plenty of buttons and settings on a
SEO tool these days. I only had to add a Dropbox account, keywords, footprints
and hit start to get the results in half an hour. No hassle, no problems but
results.
To sum it up. Scrapebox is still an essential tool to solve
many tasks and I still love it but Scrapebandit is way easier all in one
scraping tool at the push of a button.
I apologize for my English. Quite accidentally found this service and it impressed me very much their capabilities. Sufficient to indicate signs of CMS, and after 15-20 minutes I had thousands of links. Great service. Now I will use it constantly.
If you're on the fence.. don't be. Get signed up and take it for a test spin.
I sell links for a living using not only SER but many other submitters for which I constantly need new targets.
Using prescraped/verified lists is OK, but I get much better results scraping my own using my own footprints and set up.
Running a dedi-server just for scraping and constantly feeding it proxies from other subscriptions is a very expensive and time consuming affair.
With Scraper Bandit I can now safely and confidently get rid of the scrape server and easily set up all my scraping operations in the intuitive and easy to use web interface.
By far the biggest advantage for me is the ability to scrape the "hard footprints" i.e. "inurl" style footprints which are the most effective way to pin point exactly the platform you are after, but which as those of you who scrape know all too well, google bans proxies doing so in a heartbeat.
Even with 100's of premium proxies you can only do such scrapes for a very limited ammunt of time before they are all flagged and the scrape stops until proxies are re-freshed, halting the operation.
Not so with ScraperBandit, I'm now able to complete all such tasks as it seems they have access to 1000's and 1000's of ips to do this from.
The web interface is a gem, the ability to d/l directly to drop box and be email notified as soon as operation is complete is very well thought out.
Via dropbox my lists are available immediately to run in SER, platform identify, sort etc across all my VPS installs the same instant.
I can go on and on about how much I am impressed by this service!
Seriously, this changes the game. Take a test run.
@joel - Sorry, didn't realize we forgot the forget password link. Could have just emailed me until we get that put in.
As for the amount of results a keyword will return, you are correct, the default is 1000. We do plan on allowing more customization from the user (its on our todo list... just as 100 others things are too haha), it's just a matter of time honestly.
@joel - (aka fmartin ) -- We see it as I was crunching numbers for your post on BHW. It's only unique domains that are affected, we're fixing it right now.
BanditIM an other suggestion: Signed up a few hours ago, but for some reason I never go the activation email, even though the confirmation of the support ticket I then logged came immediately. Might want to add a "resend activation email" button to save you the hassle, when emails do not get through.
(Would also appreciate if you find the time do this manually for me? Tks!)
The concept loks great, am a very green newb in this whole area, so I took the time to read up on footprints and scraping in general. Looks like your solution is definitively what I need, so am looking forward to see what mileage I get out of this. Reading the comments of 'old hands' on this forum, this should be great!
@zeronullo - Replied back to your support ticket. You're the only person that hasn't received your confirmation email (since they're sent via Aweber), so I would recommend checking your spam. Aweber's logs tell us it got sent to you . We will get you all fixed up soon enough though!
@maddyjones - Our support can be found at banditim.com/support
Could you please PM me your email address and I'll take a look into your account. No one else is having these issues so I'm sure it'll be easy to fix up
First personally, I am a very picky person. I have been in the SEO for 10+ years and I must say I am impressed. Scraperbandit has provided me links to footprints and without a worry of proxies being banned (which in many cases we have all experience this i am very certain.)
Though I would like to kindly make a suggestion for improvement of the credits. IF the duplicate links are removed and not counted as a credit being charged, this would be really move it to the next level. Even though on my test (75k all urls, and 53k unique urls) are already very impressive, but on a customer point of view, the duplicates should not be counted as a credit being used. I understand you are running a business in here and profit making is very important, and I absolutely understand this. However, if you may consider my point of view as in a buyer spending money, and make this happen, you have a new client for life.
Thank you for reading this. I am proud of knowing this online scraper. I am proud of you.
@rickcarl - Thanks so much for the awesome review . The reason we charge on a per link basis is because our entire selling point is based off "Compare us to Scrapebox/GScraper! We are cheaper!!". They give you stats based on the non-dupe links (all URLs) when they give LPM/links per second, therefore we do the same and must charge it that way accordingly. I'm sorry
I`m trying to create a new account but I failed two times with different email addresses yahoo email and personal hosting email , I never received confirmation email for both emails when log in to your website I got this message " Aweber is not allowing your email for sign up. You may need to use a different email address." so I used two different emails and still same issue
Also when trying to authorize Dropbox it always say "Unexpected error. Please try again later."
@just84 - Appears that our DNS server is down so we were unable to call Aweber. Once you PM me your email addresses I'll be able to manually confirm you until we figure out this dns problem

All working nice already spent $15 with you - got 29k complete 74k waiting. My DropBox Sync is still empty after 24hrs?
You guys got a BUG to sort with the DropBox Auth?
Thanks.
@PaulieP - Wow, thanks for the review Paul!!
@mrlinks - Please PM me your email so I can look into it. However, there are a handful of bugs we're trying to sort out -- it's just taking time
@MaX - Just click the sales page image and you'll get brought to the login/register pages
+1 on this. Great idea and it works pretty well!
For me it was the right tool at the right time.

Will be a long term subscriber!
