How effective is GSA for SEO ranking in 2024?
I used GSA several years ago. I was able to successfully build levels of links with a variety of content; they were indexed through third-party services. But I did not feel an increase in the site’s position in Google.
Now I want to try to do everything again. Tell me, how does this work for you? Are you experiencing an increase in search rankings and traffic?

Hello, it goes without saying that current SEO is no longer like it used to be, you have to work more and more on your strategy and quite possibly, what works for one person may not work for another.
That said, think of GSASER as nothing more than a program to automate backlink creation, period. By this I mean, simply transfer your SEO knowledge (especially link building) to the program.
Greetings!
These are all client projects, so I won't go into any details other than the screenshots below. Site size, niche, competitiveness and number of keywords vary quite wildly. The biggest site has 8000 urls and less than 50% of the site is indexed. Lot's more opportunity for growth on all these sites. The highest authority site has DR74 and DA74. New pages rank on page 1 with no inbound links.
Tiered link building hasn't changed at all. Google's reluctance to index links has changed and that will be your biggest challenge in order to see results. They seem to be actively deindexing pages rather than trying to index everything like they used to years ago.
The whole point of tiers is to pass link juice through to your money site to boost it's DA/PA. When done properly, it will make your rankings go up.
In short yes, I could not have achieved the results above without using GSA SER. Still very effective in 2024! Always has been.
GSA Search Engine Ranker remains a valuable tool for SEO in 2024, especially when used strategically. While it's not a magic bullet, it can significantly boost your rankings if you understand its strengths and limitations.
As @sickseo mentioned, "I could not have achieved the results above without using GSA SER. Still very effective in 2024! Always has been." This highlights the tool's capability when used correctly.
@backlinkaddict added, "Using SER lightly with selected links then tiering of the indexable do-follows" can yield good results. This suggests a balanced approach for optimal performance.
Remember, continuous learning and adapting to changes in the SEO landscape are key. Don't hesitate to experiment with different settings and strategies to see what works best for your specific needs.
Which package did you choose?
The wowonder package has more do follow engines such as deepsound, pixelphoto, quickdate and playtube. All profile urls and 100% dofollow from what I've scraped so far. The wowonder engine is mostly no follow.
The gitalikes package has the gitea engine which is also do follow profile links and no follow contextual links. There are thousands of these sites that I've scraped, so defintiely worth it. The other engines are mostly no follow, such as gogs and gitlab.
Only downside is that there are not a lot of dofollow contextuals, so very few keyword anchor link sources.
In terms of link numbers I've scraped so far:
Do follow links are the ones to use and those are hard to find. Most platforms will have majority no follow links which do nothing for pushing link juice through your tiers. For last tier, to get other links crawled/indexed, it's still very useful for.
Even higher DA sites that have been spammed hard by GSA users can also have little impact as there are too many external links from all the link submissions. The sites are literally leaking link juice. 20% goes though internal lnks and 80% goes through external links.
So if your site list only contains sites acquired from list sellers, I doubt very much you'll see results with it as they will be mostly spammed sites, no follow and low DA - so you're already limiting yourself and the capabilities of the software for rank increases.
Personally I scrape my own targets, which is timely and costly, but if you're in it for the long term, it's worth it.
Plus indexing and managing link loss across multiple tiers is another full time job in itself.
SEO is more than just running the GSA SER software. You need to combine it with good SEO strategies and some basic SEO principles.
Tiered link building is a very different game to the traditional SEO where you just acquire good quality T1 links.
This project is still climbing nicely. Even in the first 3 months there was very little response from Google with regards to traffic. New sites with DA0 won't do much until it's gained enough authority to start ranking. So if you only ran the software for 3 months and gave up, you should have given it another 3 months.
But month 4-6 is where the results start to happen. Plus that traffic is mostly coming from 10-40 pages on the site. So plenty of room for more growth once all 300 pages on the site are ranking.
Only used 3 tools to achieve those results, GSA SER, Rankerx and money robot. Plus a few outsourced gigs to fiver for domain boosting. Focusing on links from unique domains will make a big difference to your rankings.
There is a growing trend in which users (especially beginners) are told that by buying X tool they will get good results. This is not the case, a tool is nothing more than "something" to automate your SEO strategies.
The best advice of the day "create and use your own list, each project is different", GSASER will do everything that you have a hard time doing manually.
As long as backlinks are part of Google's algorithm, GSASER will never die, and there are many people trying to kill it.
How did you target more relevant sites with SER?
