Any Having Problems with WAC v3.2 ?
Glennf
When I use any keyword phrase and try either Download or build GSA data, WAC just hangs and does nothing. Anyone else have the same problem?

Do use WAC for all your Tier's Data and how is your success rates?
I'm about ready to by the Tier 1 upgrade from WAC so Tier 1 content is really readable.
And actually, for tier 1 content I've just been using @royalmice GSA SER Data Packs - the 5 tier packs. Waiting for him to bust out with these 7 tier packs in the coming days. They save me loads of time. I charge it back off to my clients anyway so no sweat on the cost. Almost every site I've ran those data packs for has went to the top of Google for local key word/term ranking. I let it build about 1,000-2,000 links for each tier campaign per day and then drip feed the verifieds for 7 days to Indexification via API. So far so good for months now. No penalties. Nothing. But I do use filters to the max like no posting to the same domain twice on every tier, hellified bad word filter to avoid posting to poison word sites etc etc.
I know with HMA and WAC that sometimes it won't work, depending on the IP you're using and if it got blacklisted. Just watch that lower left corner and if it says scraping threads hit the breaks and stop the car.
Do you build 1000 - 2000 links per day per tier for five tiers? Does that amount to 5000 - 10000 links per day? Or have I got it wrong? Also, how long does it take to see results for your keywords?
Then do the same the next day. It gives me a steady flow and drip of links via Indexification.
How in GSA SER do you actually know when you hit say 1,000 verified links from all 5 tiers in a day. ? I have no clue as to how to do that.
Do you think the 7 Tiered Paks will be even more powerful than the 5 tiered ones?
Do you use these Pak on "real" money making e-commerce sites? I have 2 and are my main source of income and don't want to make waves from the big G.
Can one of these Paks run for months without running out of targets to post to? And what competition level do you use for your keywords (easy, moderate, hard) ?
Thanks
Here's a Tier 1 link from one of the Data Packs I run. It's on a PR4, Do-Follow - it'll give you an idea of the articles: http://antdiffuser.com/holyzionchurch/xe/board_Kzws12/43103
When I start running one of the Data Packs I first clear out the "Last Verified URLs" list at the top right on GSA SER so it shows 0. Then I activate all 5 tiers in one pack and hit start - so when the "Last Verified URLs" list hits 1000-2000 - I know that is a total from the 5 Tiers in the Data Pack I am running at the time.
I think the 7 Tier Packs will be better, yes. I'll be running one soon I hope.
No, none of the sites I run my packs for are e-commerce sites. I've been doing local SEO for small businesses in my area for the last 8-10 years. Here and there the key word competition may be difficult, but that's usually because of national chain companies. Usually it is moderate and easy. I've never had G give me any grief about anything.
But what works for me may not work for you and yours. You just got get out there and test the waters, sink or swim. find your working method and go with it. Two different animals - local SEO key word ranking and national e-commerce site ranking. All I can say is those Data Packs work well for me for my needs. I haven't been in your situation and used them.
I've been running some of the Packs going on two months now. I use lists that I import into GSA SER, the global lists, and let it target new URLs as it runs as well. I still get a links regularly, even having all 5 tiers set to not post to the same domain twice etc.
Hope that helps answer some of your questions. I'll be around tomorrow.
