Contextual low lpm - Verified lists
I've been looking on the forum for ages and have yet to find anything that solves my problem of low lpm.
Pretty much every lpm thread i have looked at and tried to adjust my ser settings to no real avail.
I'm getting 2lpm up to 10lpm for contextual tier 1 links.
I'm using ser lists blue list 19, which was released about 20 hours ago - so it's not the list being out of date.
It must be my settings and i've been sitting here for hours trying to solve this problem - the stats have been reset many times today for me to see a more accurate lpm for the settings i changed.
This is definitely a good learning phase though, i've came back to SEO after a long break, bought all the software and proxies and have learned loads today about the software. But this i cannot figure out.
Any form of help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I'm a bit busy at the moment, but when I get time I'll also come back and go through your screen shots to help others who might be stuck, but for the time being, if you read the guides you should get back on track.
Also, you probably need more proxies, 10 isn't enough, even at 100 threads they will struggle, whereas 20 or 25 will happily run lists at 300 threads all day long (provided they're decent proxies)
@markhoward - You should be getting much better results than that with any list, ours or anyone else's that you've purchased. Assuming that your settings are correct (please double check the guides), have you tried duplicating your projects, clearing all the caches, and swapping out the emails? Basically starting from fresh?
Also, clearing the cache and importing the urls from sitelist directly into the project(s) can sometimes help, as SER can sometimes get stuck in a bit of a posting loop, especially with some of the web2 engines. No idea why, but I've seen it happen a few times now.
I've set up a fresh test project using the latest blue list and it's running at about 90 - 100lpm and is also verifying at about 80% submitted vs verified, which is what I would expect. So it must be something to do with either your settings, proxies, emails or something else external to SER.
There are other issues with SER at the moment (before anyone else jumps in, I never actually said there wasn't), but they shouldn't effect your ability to just crank out some links from a list at high LPM.
Do you still have that 'automatically decrease threads....' checked as per your above screen shot, as that wasn't around when we wrote the guides, and might be something that's worth experimenting with unchecking?
We'll look into it though to see if we uncover anything that could be causing it.
However, I still think you need at least 10 more proxies to see decent results, and at the moment I'd probably stick with yahoo emails if you can.
I get about 20 - 50 lpm running around 50 projects on scheduler, using only contextuals.
Building contextuals is a slow process at the moment unfortunately. Lots of people are reporting problems with SER in this regards at the moment. All my servers are the same, and no matter which lists i run i can only get 10% or less of those links verified. Hopefully there'll be a solution for that soon.
Your settings look ok at first glance, did you try the suggestions that @2take2 recommended?
