Multiple (unexpected) links from the same domain problem
So I just had a really unhappy client because of some 250 UNIQUE domain links he was supposed to get, 30+ of them were from the same domain. Yeah, 30+ links from the same random directory.
The project was posting to the global verified list and no, I don't have "Allow posting on same site again" ticked.
However, I do have "Continuously post to target sites even if failed before" ticked which seems like the only thing that could cause this problem even tho I never saw something like this happen. I always thought that this option only made SER post over and over again to sites that failed submission previously
(I get no "already parsed" messages but still see a lot of "already successful" messages, which would suggest that SER is posting to a site until successfully posts).
Because if it also made SER post to sites that it successfully submitted to before, it would do the same thing as "Allow posting on same site again" option does, right?
The reason I use "Continuously post to target sites even if failed before" option is because without it I get a lower number of verified links (some submissions fail due to proxies / VPS / captcha service acting up and without this option, SER doesn't give that site a second chance).
Anyway, I'd appreciate if some1 could shed some light on this and help me prevent something like this happening again.

I also don't get "already parsed" messages because I have also enabled "Continuously post to target sites even if failed before" but I still got "already successful" messages.
I think it's because the description or anchor text of your verified URL (in your global list) is somehow "related" to the description or anchor text of your project.
For example, I have the word "cheats" in my verified URL's description or anchor text. If I still have the word "cheats" in my new project's description or anchor text, then GSA SER will automatically skip it.
I hope there will be an option to post again on that URL.
UPDATE: I think I found out something. 95% (if not 100%) of the "already successful" messages occurs in Aardvark Topsites (Directory) engine!
