SER created 20`000 accounts to wordpress.. com

in GSA Search Engine Ranker
Recently I scraped with SB a list with wordpress footprint, aprox 150`000, imported urls to SER and let it run. Now I see that ser is waiting for aprox 20`000 acount verification from wordpress. com. Ser also tried to post aprox 23 times to paypal.

The option - allow posting on same site again was not enabled.

The problem - none of the urls i had in my list had the word wordpress in it , but when ser tried to register on given site e.g. example.com it lead it to official wordpress site.

How to avoid this in the future ?

My solution:
Now I added wordpress com to blaclist filter and to the urls that should be skipped if the word is in the domain, but will it help ?
@sven - your advice is needed.

    Hmm you mean if a domain redirects to *wordpress.com it should be skipped? I have to add that in script. What is the reason for this?

    @sven - it seems that many wordpress sites are set up in the way, that when somebody push "register" (in the sidebar area there is a widget called "META" that is provided as a default setting) it leads visitor to wordpress. com where they can start their own blog.

    Ahh ok so http://www.wordpress.com is the one that is redirected to?

    I've lots of unneeded sites every time as well like Wordpress, PayPal, Yahoo, and even Google...and so on which never leads to a verification.
  • RayBanRayBan
    @sven - https://signup.wordpress.com, but you could also add paypal.com, amazon.com and others what @pratik mentioned.

    hmm I need a sample URL than where this happened. It should have been fixed but never tried it. Just modified the engine script itself a bit.

    @svenI can send you urls i uploaded after scraping wp footprints (a lot of them) to run them on some kind of dummy project. Maybe you can tell which ones are causing this issue, i see only result.
    Should I send it to gsa support ?
  • SvenSven www.GSA-Online.de
    yes please do so.

    @sven Sent it to your inidividual email, didn't notice the info@ at the beginning.
