I discovered SEO Tools’ Firefox Rank Checker plug-in Friday night and decided to have it do its first schedule rank check on Saturday morning at 11 am. 11:15 am I decide to search for something in Google and immediate see my IP was banned by Google. Damn! Even with a delay setting of 18 seconds between queries it still was enough to trigger to Google that I was automating something. Pfft! I was banned for about 2 hours, enough time to get me frustrated enough to not want to work on anything for my business. Back to good old fashion rank checking without any fancy software or plug-ins.
I am sitting at 63 sites built in 5 weeks. I think I managed to only get 6 sites built this week. The rest of my time was devoted to teaching new outsourcers how to complete Daniel’s WSO method of back linking for me and some profile back linking. I have hired some more blog commenters to have them help build up some link juice to my sites.
I also lost one of my main writers which is fine because since I have hit a little over 100 sites of content, I wasn’t sure how I would start using my writers other than building up my sites. But I can deal with 2 consistent writers for now.
I am kind of set back today as far as getting my commenters their blog lists because the proxy service I was using for scrapebox announced today they will no longer allow their IPs to be used with SB. So I went with another service and have to wait 24 hours for my IPs to be activated. Its fine that I can’t work that much on my business today because tomorrow is my son’s 8th birthday and I still have to go shopping for his birthday presents. I also have my weekly chore of grocery shopping and laundry to do. Blah!

Hi Sara,
I found your blog through a Google Alert I had set for ScrapeBox. I also received the email today from Proxy Bonanza so I was wondering, what service did you decide to go for instead?
I’ve had a brief look around and there doesn’t seem to be much that represents the same value that Proxy Bonanza does.

Hi Pat,
I ended up ordering from yourprivateproxy.com. They actually support SB. I bought the 10 IPS for $30. It takes about 1-24 hours after ordering until your IPs are ready for use. I already received mine.
Ah, yep. That’s the one I’ve been looking at as well.
The problem is, they say you have “unlimited” bandwidth but that surely cannot be true.
I’ve emailed them to find out how much bandwidth you actually get.
Thanks,
Pat.
Well, I successfully used my IPs with SB last night and everything was good. No errors and i collected a couple thousand of high PR blogs. So I would say the service is pretty good so far.
Hi Sara,
They responded to my email and basically said they don’t care how much bandwidth I use haha.
I wonder if they’ll change their tune if I have 3 or 4 instances of ScrapeBox running 24 hours a day?!
I signed up with them, too, so hopefully it works okay.
Pat.
hi sara,
how much r u spending on your army of outsourcers? must cost a fortune. i am working on getting as organized as u.
I don’t even want to think about this. lol I think I am spending about $60 a day now, give or take a few dollars since some of my blog commenters only do work 3 days a week for me while others will do every day and weekend work.
I lost a writer so that’s $15 less a day I have to pay but I made it up by getting 2 more blog commenters. lol
