Using GScraper Links in GSA-SER

edited January 2014 in Need Help
Hey guys

i'm using GScraper and GSA and having problems and have a few questions I hope you all can answer:


Basically, it's to do with using GScraper for scraping and GSA-SER for posting. From reading somethings on the many forums, I believe that most people are using GScraper and their proxies for scraping, and obviously GSA-SER for link building.


Firstly when using GScraper, what are the best ways to maximise the LPM. I've had it go as high as 70K LPM but mostly it stays around 5k to 6k. And I cannot figure what are the optimal settings to maintain it at 65k. I am using GScraper on a dedicated VPS (the Wizard plan from Solid SEO host) using the GScraper subscription proxies. All that VPS does is scrape. I am mixing up the threads between 500 and 1500 and same thing... the LPM jumps up and down, but is mostly stuck at 5k, which is really annoying. 


My next question is about using the scraped links in GSA-SER. I should say that what I do is I extract the footprints from GSA into GScraper so it only scrapes links that GSA can successfully post too. Upon finishing the scraping of the links, there is 2 options that people take from here. They either trim to root domain and remove duplicates, or they remove the duplicate URLs.


This is what I can't get my head around. Most people seem to be trimming to the root domain, running PR checks and then adding them into GSA. But isn't the whole point of GSCraper to scrape URLs, filter them, then PR check them? I mean, just because the root domain has PR, doesn't mean the inner pages (URLs) will too. Also, a URL will also help with relevancy if you are scraping using niche related keywords. What is your advice/opinion here. Is it better for general lists to trim to domain and for specific niches to use URLs? Or better to use root domains period, or URLs period?


Next, regardless of whether using URLs/root domains. Importing these links into GSA-SER is proving a bit challenging. To import them. I go to Options > Advanced > Tools > Import URLs (identify platform and sort in) > From File. This imports the merged and filtered links I put in. The thing is.... no matter whether I use URLs or Root domains, it gets rid of most the links? I'm confused? I used the GSA footprints to scrape, so how could most of the links not be useful?


Lastly, when I use just URLs to import into GSA using the above method, around 90% of the appoved GSA links are in this format:
http://www. pageglimpse.com/directory.soredhot.com
http://aboutthissite.com/www.taladjob.comhttp://www.wmtips.com/tools/info/?url=bamru.org
http://www.pageinsider.com/edenminihotel.com
http://www.webstatstopsites.com/site/zudhot.com
http://www.sitesview.us/d/community.cs.tau.ac.il
http://urlm.de/www.network2rent.de
http://www.similarsites.com/site/argusrealestatesales.com
http://67.228.4.56-static.reverse.softlayer.com/caranddriver.com.hk
http://www.sitesview.us/d/wiki.stjohn.ac.th
http://www.similarsites.com/site/gerard.0fees.net


So they are like sites that analyze other sites. I'm sure these will not lead to quality back links?


I think that's pretty much the big stumbling block for me. Again, if you could help me out here, it would provide a ton of clarity.

    "I'm using GScraper and GSA ... which is really annoying."

    Use verified lists only if you want high LpM, not raw URLs straight from Gscraper.

    "My next question is about using ... or URLs period?"

    If you are really concerned about what to use, URL or domain, just use 1 URL, trim to last folder, and then trim to root. Use all 3.

    As far as PR checking goes, anytime your link will be placed on a new page, you should check the domain. If your link will be placed on an existing page, check the URL.

    "Next, regardless of whether ...  of the links not be useful?"

    You can import your URLs directly into your project like the guy suggested on the other forum where you posted this exact same thread.
