Need help/feedback re: LPM

Hi all,

I am about a high intermediate level with SER right now. I use it every day and am seeing some interesting results. I have recently been paying particular attention to the LPM metric, which I suspect is performing poorly for me in comparative terms. I am getting between 1 - 2 LPM when running various projects, some 2.0 Tier 1's, through what we call the kitchen sink which has a little of everything. It rarely goes over 2 on the LPM field.

First question  = How does this compare with what you get?

Second question = What do you think determines the success rate of the LPM number...is it competitiveness of the keywords? size of serp? the filters I have on my projects?

Thanks for feedback

    some things that come in mind
    - search results to get new targets (proxy bans and SE selection)
    - solving speed/accuracy of captchas (by tool or service)
    - filter (blacklisting, PR/OBL filter etc.)
    - internet connection, hardware, operating system
    - much more i didn't think of atm

    Thanks Ozz!

    Let me filter my scenario a bit more.

    I use 20 Private Proxies, have wide open bandwidth, use GSA Captcha Breaker, running threads at 200, keywords are in large and broad serps.

    Any help tweeking this would be greatly appreciated. Also, I got the LPM up to about 4 yesterday. How doe sthis compare? Anyone getting higher than 4?
  • OzzOzz
    did you read the threads about performance boosting which are listed in the "compiled list of tips..." thread?
    start to read them and take your notes. its all there.

    however, a LPM of 4 is like nothing with 200 threads. most likely its your filters, your connection or your proxies causing this.

    Hey Ozz, Yes, I read the threads, and liked your basic outline quite a bit. Thanks for taking the time and energy to post up the resource for the community.

    It's just getting me frustrated because I know my keywords should be performing much better than LPM 4. One of my keywords is 'in a serp of 300M which should be ripping links in a steady stream....but nothing on my end.

    My proxies are private from proxy-hub and very clean.

    the only filter i have is now sex/porn sites checked and no site over 99 links. I even have the bar set at PR1 for my Tier 1's

    Running a windows machine, no issue with network or hardware.

    should i be using the search feature to get new targets? I am not at this time.

    anyway, thanks for your feedback. you are very generous and helpful. i hope i can return the favor someday.

    you should read the threads about how to boost your performance (Threads related to SER performance.) and not the ones about designing your campaign....

    Remove all filters and then try. Have good 100K keywords.

    Those filters are killing your LPM. Hopefully you only have that on T1's and nothing else.

    And I don't know why you would even have a <99 OBL filter unless that was for blog comments. But even if it was, I wouldn't be throwing blog comments at a money site. And even if you did, I would only do it off of a high PR low OBL purchased list. And lastly, when you create new contextual properties, they are brand new pages and barely have any OBL's to begin with. So having that filter is killing you for no good reason.

    In short, I think you are strangling yourself.

    Ozz, Pratik, and Ron, thank you!

    Ron, I think you got the issue for me on the OBL filter. Will report back.

    Ron, on the 'new' contextual properties. I am assuming spun article. How many T1's for each, before you create a new one?

    Post a sample of your logs and maybe something else might be apparent with your settings.

    @ron - "I would only do it off of a high PR low OBL purchased list"

    a) Is that page or domain rank?
    b) What's high? 4?

    6 is high.


    there are 2 things having an impact on the LpM:

    - SER settings
    - how long you have been running it and how many projects you are running

    The 1 st thing is pretty obvious, but the 2nd thing is one many people forget. When u run SER for the first time you wont have any targets, SER has to scrape them. That, of course, lowers your LpM, because SER has to do 2 things instead of 1 (posting). With time, your list will grow and SER can use the same targets again and again, resulting in higher LpM.
    If you set up a second project now, using the same engines, you will see almost double LpM. Because the targets are there and SER can use them again. Of course some expire, etc, but you get the point.

    Numbers of Lpm 200-300 are not done with 1 project and without a list. That just doesnt work. So take the time to make the basic settings (performing engines+the right search engines) and then just let it run. It will get faster over time and with more projects. You can start tweaking the engine files later imho, or just use zeus ones for the beginning.

    The process of growing the list can also be speed up with SB or GScraper.

    Good luck

    @Startrip Thank you for the detailed explanation. Definitely makes more sense now.
