GSA SER Article Authority Links

I was wondering how SER deals with the URLs we put in.
Does SER then look for a Search field and search on whatever page we enter for the chosen anchor in the article?
Or, are the pages we put in linked to in the article, and that's the end of it?
Thanks to anyone who knows.

    Ahh...OK, I think In get it.
    Thank you, @backlinkaddict.

    One other Q tho: The file for an individual project would be accessible via the Edit button I wrote about in another recent post? (https://www.gsa-online.de/gsa-forum/#/discussion/33579/phantom-edit)

    Is there also a universal default file SER uses if the per-project list is blank?
    Thank you!

    ...There are links in some formats to start in there, but like most data files in SER probably best if you can extend them further or even delete some data from some that may not make sense for your projects.

    ...I delete the add stop words data and add my own small list of English stop words...Likely would just ban faster and start throwing harder captchas. That's some obvious bot behavior right there if you ask me.

    ...there are other ways to scrape, many files to edit and macros to use. I think it's best to personalize SER for your need!!

    The other question - I don't know why it would be blank?
    Authority Links: Ok, so the file that opens for you and not for me and a few others (as of now) has a list of let's say, Google, etc? I think I actually had worked with that for some projects way back when. Maybe even fairly recently, too? Is the default for each project defined in yet another SER file? If so, which one? (That may be what I changed when i first started playing with SER)

    Stop Words:  Good idea~!! Oh, I really never considered what this does. Hmm...Yet another overlooked  detail to explore! I don't know how I missed the significance of this...

    Scraping: Yeah, I used to try harder not to seem bot-like. I don't mean on this board. :| lol Scraping-wise. :| I think playing with delay between searches on same proxy is a good idea to try first with some issues of banning.  I'll think about your post and try implementing different scraping strategies that are more complex and varied.

    Blank: Oh, I guess I  wasn't remembering ever opening the file, but I am sure I did. So I guess unless the user deletes them all from the Project file, there would never be a reason for a blank.

    I need to look at SER as though it were all new to me. There's probably a lot I'm still missing.
