You can always use what we say on this forum, but I can assure you that you always need to test.
@Lee has sworn on a bible to use only 5 engines, and his LPM is through the roof. Others have used his advice and have had excellent results.
Me on the other hand, every time I used 5 engines, my LPM went down. And I tried it no less than 6-8 separate occasions. So I do my own thing and I am more than happy with the results. That's why you have to experiment. And don't forget @Ozz's 5 Google RND engines.
Running serengines under normal submission conditions, to see what damage I can do in my normal ham fisted methods of breaking ser and the normal
I gave up trying to keep up with my wordpress blogs and running the feeds through twitter
Even with the standard web 2's in ser, if you spend the time and target those that work, you can create a lot of them easily. Last I looked, some were up to about 60 or 80 articles each
I've had many issues with Proxy-Hub. I would steer clear from them..
1st Issue: Took 5 days to setup! I literally have 6 open support tickets. (1 per day except first day i had 2) not one was answered. He was on skype support once or twice that entire time and never responded. I finally found his personal email/skype thru the WWW and contacted him. I also sent him a PM on warrior forum by the 5th day. He claimed he didn't see the order. Whatever..
2nd Issue: Proxies are SLOW and will constantly stop working. If i use a proxy tester (scrapebox/GSA/fireproxy) and run a test, about 5-10% will fail. Re-run same happens again except proxy failures rotate.
3rd Issue: I contacted support about the 2nd issue (had to make 2 support tickets over 3 day period) on day 3 he responded. He said minor issue, basically stating that is a flaw in programs like GSA/scrapebox. Then he showed me a screenshot from a proxy checker and they all showed between 3000-5000 response time.
4th Issue: I asked how his proxies are "blazing fast" (his quote, not mine) and yet his own screenshot showed those ridiculous response times. He said "they have ups and downs but mostly very fast"
I've never seen them below 3000 response except once or twice.
End Result:
Setup Time: 0/5 (Just me personally, I'm sure the orders he "notices" are setup semi-fast.) Proxy Speed: 1/5 (With response times of 3-5 seconds the only reason I gave this even a 1/5 is because i've used worse) Support: -1 (Even worse than setup time and proxy speed combined! If thats even possible..)
As far as dead proxies go, as mentioned above I've not had good luck with it. However, apparently its the programs fault, not his proxies.
A lot of people like proxy-hub, I do not. I'm sure they can be a good provider but I will never recommend them to anyone, even my enemies.
Proxy51: No comment needed. Same as OP. Absolutely terrible.
BuyProxies.org: Two words, kick ass! Mid-way thru the month I asked to switch from shared to private and he did so within hours no problems. The next month I switched to an EU server and asked for EU proxies instead, again, switched for free, no hassles.
PrivateProxies.net: Support was quick, thats about the only thing. Well sorta, readon for more info.
Their website is pretty damn misleading though. They say all their proxies integrate perfectly with ALL SEO software. Too bad they don't allow any of it! Their site says no xrumer. Which is fine, many proxy providers don't allow that. But then once you pay for the proxies and go inside your panel or asking support they say "no automated posting, blog commenting, scraping sites, scraping google, profile building, mass searching, any automation of any kind" -- What the hell? How do you claim to be a great SEO proxy provider then?
They say instant proxy setup! Total bullshit..My ACCOUNT was setup instantly, yes..then it says "click to download proxies" and its totally blank. About 24hrs later your proxies actually get setup and emailed to you. Just one more factor thats 100% completely misleading about them.
I asked to cancel and they said email support. So I did..3 days go by and nothing...then the admin on chat says support doesn't respond to cancel requests. And that the contact support section on their admin panel doesn't apply for that You have to find their secret "open ticket" page to cancel. So he said even tho it was passed their policy they would do it this once...Pfft..Just a bunch of liars.
EZProxies: Support was awesome. Proxy speed was about 1500 response time so I canceled, I was too spoiled with buyproxies 500 response times. But id recommend them.
Has anyone had any experience with SSLPrivateProxy?
This is the second time I have such an experience with a seller through 2checkout.
Also 2checkout is not very supportive in this case. Today they sent me an email saying that the seller has finally cancelled the subscriptions and that I won't be billed anymore.
No mentions of the refunds I have requested. Proxyhub has so far refunded me for August, but not for July.
I use buyproxies.org and never had any issue. ultra fast support. Once a while ago all proxies were banned by G and literally within minutes I got a new set of working proxies from support via email. fast semi-private proxies shared among 3 users. choice of location.
@AlexR - hmm so it uses some PR website to check those that has ip limit? I remember one ser tutorial where guy showing that using proxies only for search and submission to get better speed and lpm.
@ron you mentioned you're using 120 different search engines. By this statement, do you consider to be google.com a different search engine to google.co.uk for example? Or are those 120 different engines really different providers such as google is to yahoo or lycos ?
I just purchased GSA and now i am going to start it with a single website at the moment. So i am going for
buyproxies.org at the moment to start. So i think 10 proxies will be ok to start right ? Also, do i have to buy other proxies from other providers as well. Since, i came to know that proxies has to be located in different locations/countries/continents/states etc around the world ?
Since i am very new to this tool and proxies, can you just suggest me ? I want to make sure that i have done my homework well before i start the GSA engine

"You probably need to add more search engines. I use 120 SE's."
Counterintuitive, but makes sense, i can use more engines to scrape the same content
and save me proxies...
Clever!!
Will report...and for the record Proxybonanza was junk, moved to buyproxies, and I am very happy.
More search engines used, more repeat results, lower submissions
In an idea world, you would only use one engine to maximise results and reduce the repeat results
300 threads, 120 search engines and a 5 second delay :-O
Your screen must be full of already parsed results ron

Shared proxies are just that, shared by others
When will people start to understand how this works
Lots of people using the same proxies at the same time
You have no idea what the others sharing them are doing with them
So you can spend a year tweaking ser and still find your proxies are being blocked
Not your fault, but caused by the others sharing them, who don't give a monkeys

Trevor_Bandura If your still getting proxies blocked, it could be the time you have set between search requests
I have mine set to 15 seconds and it seems to work well
I cancelled on June 28th. My CC got charged on July 6th.
Opened ticket with them, where they offered to refund me and cancel the account. I confirmed.
Never got the refund, now I got charged on August 8th a second time since I cancelled.
Opened ticket with 2checkout now. It just sucks to have to go through that hassle b/c of a couple of bucks.
So one more time: Don't buy proxies from Proxy-hub!
Also 2checkout is not very supportive in this case. Today they sent me an email saying that the seller has finally cancelled the subscriptions and that I won't be billed anymore.
