Massive GSA Campaign Sent — No Real Visitors, Just Bots!
Hey everyone,
I’ve been using GSA Website Contact to promote a service and wanted to share my experience and get your honest feedback.
I have a massive verified database with millions of working contact forms. I’ve been posting messages through GSA, and on the surface, everything looks great — the software reports successful submissions, and I’m seeing tons of visitors on my website — literally new visits every minute.
But here’s the strange part:
Zero conversions. Not a single sale.
That raised a red flag, so I installed Hotjar to monitor visitor behavior. After watching the recordings, I noticed that every single visitor behaves the same:
• Loads the page
• Moves the mouse near the top
• Leaves instantly
No scrolling. No interaction. Nothing human about it.
This made me think: are these just bots?
I suspect these hits are coming from mail servers or spam filters that auto-check URLs in messages to scan for malware or phishing. The problem is — my actual messages never reach the real inbox of the contact form owner, which defeats the purpose entirely.
⸻
Here’s My Current Setup:
• Using random first/last names, random email, random company
• Spintax for the subject line (created using ChatGPT)
• Highly spinned message body with millions of variations (also via ChatGPT)
• Same domain used in all messages, with a unique page per message
• Using rotating residential proxies from a pool of 4.5 million IPs
• Each request is made through a unique proxy
• GSA Captcha Breaker as the first captcha solver
• XEvil as the second fallback option
⸻
Also worth noting — I signed up as an affiliate for the GrowSEO Google Reviews Tap Card growseo.com/review-cards/google-reviews-card.php It’s a high-converting product that pays great commission on every sale. I’ve had a lot of success promoting it through other marketing methods — received many sales from email campaigns and affiliate landing pages, so I know the product is definitely not an issue because it’s high in demand.
But with this current GSA setup, I’m not having the same luck at all. Same message structure, same offer — just no real human traffic or results from contact form posting.
⸻
The Big Question:
Am I doing something wrong?
Or is contact form marketing dead in 2025?
I’ve seen others mention similar issues — lots of traffic, but no human behavior or conversions. Is the method saturated? Are servers too smart now? Or is there still a working formula?
Would really appreciate any insights or updated strategies from anyone still getting results.
Thanks in advance!

Let's assume your post is not about promoting an affiliate offer noone is interested in ...
Random stuff is junk and your message get's ignored right away.
- Spintax for the subject line (created using ChatGPT)
Ok, but no need.
- Highly spinned message body with millions of variations (also via ChatGPT)
Submit a customized message in the local language, not spun junk in English.
Use mautic or another tool instead.
- Each request is made through a unique proxy
Ensure these are from the destination country
Seems you are targeting only dead sites. Noone is using image captchas anymore
The product you are promoting can't be sold via contact forms, if at all. Take a look at sites like awin.com and send i.e. on a Friday morning about a food delivery service promotion. 1000 messages will bring you at least $1000 in affiliate revenue. Do the same with auto repair equipment to a selected audience of repair shops. Contact form marketing works just fine, your pure spam won't.
Now I would like to ask a few questions.
What is mautic being used for in your example. Is it just a tracking link?
I noticed that you said GSA captcha breaker and xevil are a waste of time and only solve old captchas meaning you are likely contacting sites that no one checks. ( I guess I wasted money on these tools for nothing). My question is what tool or service passes the new captchas and human verification like cloudflare?
Your last comment about highly targeted outreach with high quality offers makes so much sense. I would just like to know are you using GSA website contact to find the sites that you would reach out too? If not what are you using to search for the targeted sites?
Thanks in advance.
I am completely new and appreciated that you took the time to post such an informative post.
Thank you for your appreciation. I am glad if the contributions can help.
1) Captcha: I expressed myself in a misleading way. I meant image captchas are rarely in use today, thus no need for Captcha Breaker. It makes more sense to use XEvil, possibly complemented by a backup like rucaptcha.
2) Mautic: Many people use GSA Website Contact to place an affiliate link directly. This is not optimal for several reasons:- What is more inviting, a link like https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=XXXXX&awinaffid=YYYYY or a link like https://electrictools.com/specialoffer if you are promoting drilling machines, saws, etc.? You could also use a URL shortener but even here I'd suggest a YOURLS installation rather than bit.ly or whatever. You have 1 chance to convince for action when the message sent through the contact form is being read. Take it.
- Can / do you trust the affiliate platform? You may want to review and challenge their reports, if any.
- Mautic comes into place when you are really into marketing and not just sending out spam, hoping that eventually 0.1% of millions of messages sent will be read and ideally convert.
Website Contact -> Affiliate site
or
Website Contact -> Mautic landing page with form (form optional) → Email capture (optional) → Forwarding to AWIN link → Automated follow-up emails (optional)
By using Mautic, each and every person who clicks on the link in the message sent gets an individual tattoo on his forehead. You can identify him. You can track re-visits, you can track the source, you can track the location, the language - even with no email signup. The pixel is burned into the skin.
Even if you do not capture the email, you still have gathered valuable data for your GSA campaign. What time do people open the message, which are the most active regions, etc.. Valuable information to optimize your campaign. You won't get this data from an affiliate vendor.
Coming back to the food delivery service. People might not be interested to order today but eventually sign up for a newsletter. You have captured the email incl. opt-in ... there you go. It's pretty much the same as with GSA SER - build your own lists.
Let's say you are not promoting affiliate stuff but your own services/products with a simple checkout button on Stripe. Bingo! Stripe will let you export all customer data, email, name, address, payment method used, etc.. Import this into Mautic and you have wonderful customer profiles, the customers are not even aware of.
3) GSA Website Contact is working well to find target sites, but you need proxies and good filters. I typically process the data from commoncrawl with some Python scripts and/or use Scrapebox.
Just think a bit further than buying a generic URL list -> GSA Website Contact -> Affiliate URL in the message -> money is falling from the sky. Think about the recipient of the message you are sending and think of the opportunities capturing and using data.
I would also love to understand what a topical search for contact forms would look like in scrapebox. I have it, but I have not used it for years. Python scripts will take me a little while to figure out for sure.
I just want to learn step by step how to do this properly, instead of sending millions of spam messages. I would much rather send dentists a CRM that specializes in getting clients to show up for appointments or something else that solves a real problem.
Scrapebox: inurl:contact plus your keywords
