guys thank you all for this great and information post.
i've spent the last 2 hours going over all my settings to double check if i've done anything wrong.
i've only activated 11 projects now and unfortunately i can only get 17 LpM on average my highest was 40 LpM a few versions ago. Here are my exact settings
1) Selected 6 search engines (1 google from a random country then 5 random search engines)
2) 168 threads, 30 semi-private proxies from buy proxies
3) Collect keywords from target sites IS selected (each project has around 1-2k keywords)
4) Always use keywords to find target sites is NOT selected
5) I'm using global site lists but only the verified list is checked
6) I've culled all the engines by exporting all data to excel and unchecking ones which are < 10% for identified / verified
7) Verify links every 1440 mins for everything EXCEPT tier 1 (only 4 out of the 11 projects are tier 1)
8) Projects that no limits EXCEPT tier 1 but i've set the thresholds at pretty high so I don't think they trigger. In addition Im' running this test 1 hour after midnight so my submitted # is still below 2k links
The ONLY setting I canthink is different is I'm running SER on a mac using Virtualbox. So far no issues though..
Thanks for your feedback. I just changed 1) 2) and 3) (I actually have a keyword list of 100k top keywords searched in some lower tiers) and stil the same results 19 LpM
I have about 30k verified so I dno't think that's the issue but I selected submitted as well in all projects anyway
Guys great news. I've restarted my PC and triple checkd all my settings of all my projects to ensure it's got the configuration above (my fault there were a few projects with no global site lists enabled). took 2 hours of tedious work but it's worth it!!!
After restarting I'm at 80 LpM which is a record for me so really happy.
Shout outs to @leeg and @ozz for their informative posts.
Hitting 150 LpM after a few more tweaks. If anyone has the same issues as me @LeeG nailed it right on the head it was my number of search engines. I changed to 6 googles and it's cranking. Wanna say thanks agains guys! This forum is AWESOME!
PS Does anyone have problems with projects pause? Some of my tier 1 links got ripped today and the projects didn't pause. I set to pause for 1440 minutes after 200 submissions but it ripped to 5000. I'm trying to set it pause for 1 day after hitting submissions based on previous forum notes to see what happens.

JUST switched to a new mail, that like doubled the LPMs (cant believe it...)
settings: 100 k keywords. 37 int. engines. NO URLs filter ( NO bad words, no OBL, no PR...) (why? its just tier 3..........) 3mail veriy to 15 minute wait.
20 semi / private proxies 1000 threads max wh so many threads? speeds up loading of verified URL list and verify process.. thread are mostly 50 - 250 when it goes through submit / searching SERPs. 1 sec engine timeout 60 sec wait time out. no indexeer used ( I think thats not usefull on Tier 3, those sites are spammed like hell so the bots MUST have visitid them or visit them regularly)
usint site list verified.
machine: 3,3 quad core, 8 gig ram windows 2008 server that does nothing excep GSA SER and CS. using MsMpEng.exe als VirusScanner, exception are processes GSA SER and CS. 16 Mbit DSL fastpath.
BUT: submit/verify is just about 10-20 %. WTF, its anyway just tier 3.
vs:
on tier 1 I use PR1 URL filter / bad words, and so on. thats jsut around 1 - 10 LPM, but much higher verify %... and I only do forum profiles OR wiki sites there.
ONE recommendation: USE captcha BREAKER. it is 5 - 10 x faster than captcha sniper . sad I bought CS3x :-(
THATS like the most comprehensive post I ever made.
@ematrix65 - Once you have stopped SER, on restart it verifies first before finding targets and submitting.
As was the case for me when I was new to SER, I used to get caught up in "where's my verified links?". You will find that SER multi-tasks, and if it is spending too much time verifying links, then that means it is spending less time building links. So you can't have it both ways.
I have my biggest projects set to "Custom Verify = 5000" minutes. I want SER spening most of its time building links, not verifying links. I also know that a % of links will get removed my moderators in the first few days after I build them, so I want some time to pass before I verify.

Something else to watch is two errors, download failed and pr-?
Both normally proxy related
Some people use scrapebox to create keyword lists aimed at their niche.
Others use niche finders to create keyword lists.
One I have seen mentioned on another forum thats been used well is Keyword Map
There are also a few generic lists floating around on the net.
But as with anything, those lists have been used by a lot of people and most sites are spammed to death
I only use PR1+ forums and only 3 most successfull types there..
just used a new mail, seems my old one was on to my blacklists ;-)
I am using 200 engines with search time 1 sec...
I also tested with 4, or other search times, but that did not help...
but maybe.. less engines with blog/image comments are better.
Thats it, I have that warm fuzzy feeling inside
Good to hear that people are now starting to see the results after taking the time to make the changes.
No magic button, just time and effort
Spot the clues to my arse squeaking when I walk. AKA a tight git
I push one single copy of ser to its max
I only use CB with ser
Some know my tricks include cutting out things that take time
At the moment one captcha company are reporting 19 seconds average per captcha
CB does way below 1 second average
Think of all the extra links you can build in that 19 seconds
thats what I use for TIER 3
1 hotmail account.
engines/plattforms: i checked the ones with the most/best submits over 12000 verified URLs.

Oh yeah, I was playing LOTS of computer games till the year 2010....... then quit from one day to the other..
ADDITION:
CHECK your Email :-) I created an hotmail.DE alias, but it should have been .COM - no wonder I get <0.01 LPM on Forum Profiles.........
So none of you guys have cottoned on to what swapping out your emails does and how it can push up submissions.
And its not the blacklists
Most sites like forums, only allow one registration per email account
So by swapping out the email accounts, all your doing is creating more accounts on those forums etc when ser finds them
In the global site lists for example it registers something like
forum.com/profile1
You swap out the email and register again
forum.com/profile2
Ser see´s the new location in the global sites list
And it goes on
and like lee said in the past, it might just take a few sumitted links to land on the blacklists again..
I checked mine earlier.
From the first week of swapping them out they were getting in blacklists
That was three months ago
Everyone is listed about six times each
It also depends on how the sites have the likes of SFS set up.
If they check the last month, six months etc
I used mk2 eyes and mk1 brain to set mine up.
None of this messing about using quantum physics formulas

So no, your PC is fine.
