Introducing GSA Search Engine Ranker
GSA search engine ranker is an extremely powerful piece of software. It is the only software in the world (publically available) that submits to hundreds of platforms (over 500) on autopilot with just a 30 minute set up. People have been using it a lot for different types of link building and it is very diverse in the ways that you can use it.
GSA Search Engine Ranker Applications
Below are a few of the ways that you are able to use GSA Search Engine Ranker. Each one has their own purpose and some are safer than others. All of them have seen very good results.
Spam rank
To do this you have to have GSA configured to post to most, if not all, the platforms. Import a huge keyword list, get lots of private proxies and set your threads high. Blog comments, trackbacks, guestbooks, articles (xe), and wiki (media wiki) will probably yield a high and fast submission rate with a high verify rate. To execute spam rank even more efficiently, it is best to import huge GSA verified lists. There are some people selling lists, but it is probably best to start with no list and let GSA scrape and post to as many sites as it can for a month or so. Then once you have other projects you can import the links from the global site list you have gathered. From one month constantly running GSA you should have 100,000 – 500,000 verified links in your global site list, depending on how well you have configured GSA and how fast it is going. This method is only effective if you are making thousands and thousands of links everyday.
Of course the higher the competition the more links you will need to be able to rank well. However do not think you can rank for “payday loans” as that niche has been completely re-worked in terms of ranking algorithms as it got abused so much. With this method you do not need quality backlinks so you don’t need to change many settings in GSA SER. The method works on the amount of links you are constantly getting. It’s link velocity that makes you rank. Google will think your site has gone viral, as it will see thousands of new links everyday. People say it’s better to get a small amount of quality links than waste time with spammy links. With GSA it is extremely easy to make lots of low quality links, and the shear number of links gives the same power as a few really high quality ones.
Tier 2 Spamming
You have a few options. You can go down the route of spam rank but on your tier 1 sites, you could make it higher quality but using good quality spun articles and not building links to “bad” sites. You could also build niche relevant spam or high quality links by importing keywords from your niche to find targeted sites. Your Tier 1 links for this should be beautiful. They should be high quality web 2.0 blogs with hand written content and a few posts of 500+ words. They should look like mini sites. The number of web 2.0s is up to you and will vary from niche to niche. Do not spread it too thin as you will want 100,000+ backlinks to each of these blogs every month. From just 20 days here are the stats from 5 of my web 2.0s:
PA54, backlinks: 69,000- PA55, backlinks: 76,000
- PA53, backlinks: 81,000
- PA55, backlinks: 78,000
- PA56, backlinks: 53,000
I would show you the PR but they are still at PRN/A as Google hasn’t yet updated their Page Rank. As you can see the Page authority of these web 2.0 has skyrocketed, and that’s just from setting up a campaign in GSA, which took about 10 minutes. The results from these are awesome; they make your site rank very stable. It’s like building an authority blog network, but instead of old, high authority domains you have to buy (which can cost thousands of dollars for a large network) you make the authority in under a month. This method is preferred by lots of people who use GSA and want stable, safe, rankings.
Niche Related Backlinking
What are the best kind of links you can get? Niche related links! With GSA you can automate them like never before. But let me be honest with you, I personally haven’t used GSA SER to make niche related backlinks, as I am more into mass spam in order to get lots of link juice. My sites are in competitive niches, this means I don’t have time to get niche backlinks, as I find high PR blog posts and tier 2 link spamming more effective. However, you might be in a niche where the competition is low and a few niche backlinks are golden.
You see, each niche is different in terms of what you need to rank for it, and in some niches it is extremely effective to get niche related backlinks from blog commenting and forums. However, it is not like that in my niches. To dominate in some niches, all you need is a stream of a few hundred buffer sites and quality tier 1 links to blast the living hell out of, and niche related backlinks would only be good if I were to blast them as well. GSA has the ability to completely automate your niche related backlinks, however as you will need to spin the content it might not be the best quality and it might not be 100% unique.
To get niche related backlinks, all you need to do is find the “keywords” input when you set up a campaign and import a list of keywords related to your niche. You can generate keywords with Scrapebox or any similar software. Once the list is imported, make sure to check the box which only posts your backlinks when a keyword is present on the page to make sure you are posting to niche related sites.
Because this is building links directly to your money site, I would suggest building links slowly. Do not generate more than 200 a day to start off with. You can do this by making GSA pause for 86400 seconds after ~400 links have been submitted, as currently I am only getting 50% verified. It depends on many factors, so you will want to play around with GSA to see how many submitted become verified.
Copy Competitor links
GSA can make nearly any type of link on the net. All you need to do is go on a site, like ahrefs, and download all your competitor’s backlinks (you will need a premium subscription for this), and put them in GSA. GSA SER will try and make as many of them as it can. This is a great way to get a good backlinks profile to beat your competitors. To get all the competitions backlinks you will need to get an ahrefs subscription for $79 per month (it is half price for the first month). From there you can put in your top 10 competitors and export all their backlinks. Of course, it really varies as to how many links GSA would be able to submit to from niche to niche. If you have links from your top 10 competitors then not only will you have links from the #1 site, but you will also have links from all the other sites so you can really dominate. Set up a project and import the links from the file you downloaded from ahrefs to the GSA project. Sit back and watch all your competitors backlinks become yours. Be careful you don’t build too many links at once. Again I suggest you limit it to 200-500 backlinks a day. To be even safer, I would suggest you filter out all the bad links your competitors have that could be holding them back, so you don’t get the same links and thus make the same mistakes.
Tier 2+3
GSA SER didn’t come out with multi-tier options at first, but since its launch everyone begged for it, and the GSA team listened. This way you can make quality tier 2 with spun content submitted to articles directories, wiki’s, web 2.0, and tier 3 the spam rank way. To do this you will need to set up two projects, one for tier 2 and another for tier 3. In the tier 2 project you will want links from sites that offer contextual links, so article, web 2.0, social network, and wiki sites. In tier 3 you can completely spam tier 2 so you can select all the fastest performing platforms. With the tier 3 project there is one small box you have to check which links it to another project.
To find out the best performing platforms go to tools > show stats, then only submit to the top 50% that you have already built the most links to. Import your global site list to your tier 3 project. This will allow you to get even more links quickly.
How to get high LpM
LpM stands for “links per minute” and is the speed at which GSA is submitting links. The higher the LpM, the faster GSA is making links. There are many ways to optimize for LpM. They include:
- Not submitting to platforms with a low success rate
- Using a fast captcha service
- Not submitting to sites with recaptcha
- Submitting to an already verified list of links
- Using only the best search engines to harvest links to post to
- Using lots of fast private proxies
- Having a fast CPU
- Having enough RAM
- Using the right number of threads
- Using a big keyword list
- High timeout
Not submitting to platforms with a low success rate
By going into your GSA stats you can see which platforms aren’t yielding high results. Remove these from your submissions and you will have a faster GSA.
Using a fast captcha service
Most sites use captchas, so the time spent on each site will increase if it takes long to solve the captchas, thus less sites will be submitted every minute lowering your LpM. I highly recommend either GSA captcha breaker (works great with GSA), or Captcha Sniper for automated captcha solving. For sites that have captchas that cannot be solved by these two services, I use Death By Captcha which is one of the cheapest providers at $1.39 per 1,000 captcha solves.
Not submitting to sites with recaptcha
Recaptcha is very hard to crack and can cost a lot of money. When it normally takes a few seconds to solve a recaptcha rather than milliseconds it slows down submissions quite a bit. By not posting to sites that use recaptcha or by choosing to skip them in the options you will yield a higher LpM.
Submitting to an already verified list of links
By doing this GSA you won’t have to spend time searching for targets and then trying to submit to them. It is much quicker telling GSA to submit to an already tried and tested list. Further down, I have provided a list of 19k verified domains to get you started.
Using the best search engines to harvest links to post to
There are a lot of search engines to choose from, a lot of them are slow and yield little results, so by only using fast and large search engines your LpM should be higher.
Using lots of fast private proxies
Proxies are needed, the more you have the more threads you can run, and the more times you can submit to the same site. When using proxies you have to make sure they are fast because if they are not, site loading times will increase and less sites will be posted to. The faster your proxies the faster your submissions and the higher your LpM. I personally use the semi dedicated proxies from Buyproxies. You get to chose between USA or European based proxies and do not get the dedicated proxies as you will not need them, only semi dedicated.
Having a fast CPU
By having a fast CPU, you will be able to run more threads therefore more links are made simultaneously. The more links made at once the higher the LpM will be.
Having enough RAM
More ram = more threads you can run. GSA can only use a maximum of 2GB of ram in a 32-bit OS and 4GB of ram in a 64-bit OS. Don’t limit your VPS choice to the amount of ram available, you will also need to run a captcha breaker and possibly some other programs which will take up more ram themselves.
Using the right number of threads
A lot of people think that more threads will result in a faster LpM. This is true up until a certain point. If you run too many threads your VPS/server/PC will slow down because your resources are being taken up. This could cause GSA to slow down or even crash. When you are adjusting your threads you have to play around with them a bit to get the right number of threads for you.
Using a big keyword list
The more keywords the more targets GSA can get and the quicker the submissions. This will give GSA more links to submit to. For example, if you only used 10 keywords GSA would probably use them all up in a few minutes and struggle to find new sites as it would get the same sites again and again. If you had 100,000 keywords then GSA SER would be able to get lots of different sites without overlap, and would be able to get even more keywords based on the huge number you already have. I have provided my 100k keyword list further down in this article, go check it out!
High timeout
Make sure you have a high timeout when using a lot of threads. If the timeout is too low, GSA will skip too many sites and won’t submit to many. This will cause your LpM to be very slow as only the fastest sites will be submitted to.
Proof these tips work!
If you do this you can achieve some awesome results. Below is a video after changing a few things. As you can see I am getting 1,400 LpM.
GSA Resources Used
Must have with GSA SER
GSA on its own is great, but to make it a proper animal there are a few extra services you must have.
- Private/Shared Proxies (Buyproxies)
- GSA Captcha Breaker + spamvilla OCR
- VPS or Dedicated server
- Indexer subscription
Private/Shared Proxies
Proxies are a must, if you don’t use them when you are scraping then your IP will be banned and you won’t be able to scrape any target sites. They are also good to submit to the same site over and over again as multiple submissions to the same site could lead to your IP being banned. The more proxies you have the better GSA SER will run.
GSA Captcha Breaker + spamvilla OCR
A captcha solver is a must and software like GSA CaptchaBreaker can save you thousands of dollars in captchas. The spamvila OCR delivers great results for recaptcha captchas, so combined you can solve any cpatcha with a low overall fee.
VPS or Dedicated server
This is a must if you can’t leave your PC on 24/7 or if you have a slow internet connection. A VPS is probably all you need but if you ever need more speed a dedicated server would come in handy.
Indexer subscription
You want Google to see all the amazing links you are making, so by using an indexer server you increase the chances of Google seeing the links and giving your site a boost.
How does it compare to other software?
There are many more SEO programs on the market and a lot of them are very good and can be used alongside GSA SER. However, none of them can replace it.
Senuke XCr
Senuke XCr is a very costly SEO tool but a lot of people buy it. It automatically posts to sites you tell it to with a long campaign set up process. However, because there is a set site list it doesn’t scrape new targets like GSA so it is very quick. Senuke can be used to automate tier 1 links but is nowhere near as powerful as GSA SER so you won’t be able to make 1,000s of links for other tiers. For this reason, I suggest you use Senuke for tier 1 and maybe tier 2 but leave the serious spamming for GSA SER. It can work well with GSA SER but on its own it can not replace it.
Magic Submitter
This has the same functions of senuke but at a quarter of the price. I haven’t personally used it but a lot of people say it’s a great alternative to senuke. With that being said, again it has the same problems as senuke. It still isn’t powerful enough for mass spamming and doesn’t come close to what GSA SER is capable of. However, Magic Submitter is great for building web 2.0s, which GSA SER isn’t very good at. It can be used alongside GSA SER to ensure you post to all the sites physically possible.
Ultimate Demon
Ultimate demon can post to many different platforms, however, you need to import lists of sites to post to. While using it I found it slower than Senuke but it did the job and I was able to post to thousands of article directories, web 2.0s, wiki, etc. UD has the potential to mass spam, however, at the moment it does it too slowly. It is ideal for automating tier 1 so I would highly recommend it if you are too lazy to make tier 1 yourself. You can use the discount code “HostingTavern” for $50 off if you decide to purchase and use along side GSA.
No hands SEO
This is more like GSA SER as it automates backlinking very easy. However, at the moment it only automates trackbacks and blog comments so it is good for getting niche related good blog comments but not for much else. You can set and forget it just like GSA. Why use No hands SEO when you can get GSA SER, which does the same as no hands SEO, and a lot, lot more? I must add though, I have never used No Hands SEO.
Scrapebox
Scrapebox is a must have for anyone into SEO and linkbuilding. It can do practically anything with links. Check their PR, index status, OBL, remove duplicates, etc. It can also gather thousands of target URLs that you can use with GSA or any other program. Scrapebox is a must have and you can leave it scraping while GSA is posting and import huge lists for GSA to post to. In my opinion scrapebox is quicker at finding URLs than GSA SER (given the correct settings).
GScraper
GScraper can harvest URLs like scrapebox but 10 times faster. It doesn’t have as many features but is a good alternative to scrapebox if all you want to do is find thousands and thousands of URLs. However, it is only really fast if you sign up to their proxy service and use their public proxies. If using other proxies you will find it’s no faster than GSA SER.
Xrumer
Xrumer used to be the king of spam, but now GSA SER is here to make spamming extremely easy to automate any platform. With Xrumer it takes a lot of skill and patience to make mods that enable Xrumer to post on other platforms other than forums. However, it can still be used with GSA to post to tier 2,3, and 4 to make hundreds of thousands of backlinks everyday from forum profiles.
I am in the process of writing a step by step tutorial on setting up GSA SER. Check back soon!
hi, i share but i dont get GSA Resources Used
please send me it i need it to get started
Hi there Mohamed. It looks like there was a problem on my end and it is now fixed. You can share it again or feel free to email me and I will fix you right up!
What is the VPS you have used to get 1400LpM?
and what Indexer Service you raccomand?
Thanks
I am using a dedicated server from http://www.reliablesite.net/. They are pretty cheap considering what you get. As for an indexer, I am currently using GSA Indexer as my indexer. Hope that helps!
which dedi package do you use and how many threads can it handle?
Thanks
I got it on a clearance sale, but a 16GB i7 set up. If you are running just a single project, no problem running a few thousand threads.
shared this article on twitter but didn’t get the 19K list as promised
can you help me as well?
BTW nice article, lot of great tips on GSA
Thanks
If clicking the tweet button to reveal the lists does not work (It should, I tested it on multiple computers), then feel free to email me and I will get you set up =)
Hi Neil,
Well done with such nearly tut =)
I’m novice and I can’t definitely understand before approving my budgets do i need proxies for GSA if I’m already scraping a target list (keywords+footprints) in a SB?
Also I would be really thankful if you can drop some links where I can read some 101 about proxies with different SEO tools…
THanks 😉
Hey Tom,
If you are scraping a target list in SB, you are still going to need proxies for GSA when you start using that list to post links. You can of course use GSA to scrape free proxies but your rate of success is going to be very low compared to picking up some semi-dedicated proxies, which I recommend.
Hope that helps!
Seems that I was wrong in the key point. I realize that I’ll need some proxies to replicate nonartificial human submission.
The key points that I can’t find anywhere what proxies do i need (semi or private) and how much do i need them…
I always just use semi dedicated proxies. Dedicated proxies are really not needed. I usually use 50 proxies from http://hostingtavern.com/visitBuyproxies but the more the better if you want to have a super high LpM.
Hey Neil it’s Josh. Just checking out the article to beef up my GSA settings. You’re sites looking boss man. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Josh. Hopefully you were able to up your LpM a bit!
Hello! You fell from the sky! I searched a lot about this software, and I found your post the best so far. Could you give me some step-by-step to start putting into practice? I’m really lost … I watched many videos on youtube but still could not know how to start … I am brazilian and my english is bad …
Hello Tiago!
I have been meaning to write a post on how to set up GSA SER step by step but I do not have it written yet! In the meanwhile, you mentioned you have been watching youtube videos. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3satyGrO6tU which is in 2 videos but will give you a good understanding of how to set everything up. Hope that helps!
Very good! If you make this post’ll probably get one of the first to read! Usually a lay person like me, looking for step-by-step to achieve certain goal. I think if you write a post with step-by-step best practices GSA to make any website in any niche on top of google, would be a worldwide success! 🙂
Really good write-up. I was looking into GSA after reading Dirk’s case study on VC. Really in depth stuff, thank you! -Vinny Polston
I must say great post , but there are some things to be considered :
—> I downloaded your 19K Verified Domains and opened “sitelist_Wiki-MediaWiki.txt” ! There were over 10K URLs , but they come from over 9K duplicate domains , which is not really helpful ! So after removing those duplicates Domains , I was left with 986 Unique Domain URLs and out of them only 294 Were LIVE at the moment !
Obviously , you probably have to update that list for your regular visitors !
Hope you will approve my comment for good !
Best Regards
How many live did you get by running the entire list? I will try to update the list soon! Thanks for the feedback.
hi, can you make tutorial for GSA setting? for maximum LPM ?
thanks
this post really have great tutorial 🙂
I may do that in the future =)
for tier 2 spamming, what type of backlink that you use for spamming tier 1 ?
and what kind of filter (PR, outbound link, etc) that you using ?
thanks
For tier 2, I have tried a few approaches. I generally find that all out spam (all links) has worked, but it is better to back up your tier 1 with just contextual links if you want them to last. This is going to take a lot more time, but the site ranking for a much longer period of time has made it worth it. I typically do not set those filters, but will make outbound links below 50.
Hi, the article was pretty useful. I just happened to readout another blog which explains about how we can get ranking with quality spam technique. Today I just bought GSA SER thinking to use the same.
Is it worth to use for Tier 1 followed by Tier 2 and Tier 3? Have you seen any remarkable improvement in ranking of your websites?
Further you have pointed out to use other few add-on with GSA SER, but right now I am bit out of budget can I get the same results with using GSA SER alone to begin with. Once I get results I could then add more add-on?
Regards
These are two different techniques. You can certainly spam your money site with links from GSA and I have ranked many sites doing this but they just do not last as long. Try both I would say and see what works best for you.
In order to use GSA, you need GSA, a captcha breaker, and a content spinner. These three things are required, but if you can get some proxies, your results will much better. Good luck!
Thanks Neil, thanks for your input.
So what you suggest to build Tier1 manually and use GSA SER for tier2 and tier3 to play safe then? Not sure about your comments.
Anyway I am thinking to use GSA SER and see how that works.
Sorry I have not replied to this. I have been out of the country for a while and found the internet in the EU to be hard to come by. My current strat has been to make all my tier 1 manually and through blogger outreach for best results. I will then fire up GSA and put a nice tier 2 of contextual links slowly. This has gotten me the best results. I typically will not even bother with a tier 3.
Neil thanks for such a useful and detailed review.
An answer to this question (asked by the Raghu) will be great.
So what you suggest to build Tier1 manually and use GSA SER for tier2 and tier3 to play safe then?
I have been out of the country for a while so I am just getting a chance to respond. Sorry about that! As I posted a reply to him just now, the best thing that has been working for me is doing tier 1 all manual and through blogger outreach and then using GSA to post contextual links at a slow rate to my tier 1 links. Also, I have basically stopped using tier 3 as I did not see any real benefit.
Hi,
Great article on GSA SER. I am a novice when it comes to GSA SER. So I have few questions
1) I have 3-4 sites to rank. Is GSA SER worth it for so few sites?
2) What are tier -1 links (Guest posts?)
3) For 3-4 websites, how much do you think I will be spending every month in other services like scraper, captcha solvers and proxies . I will not be spamming too much so that means not too many links.
4) Is a VPS necessary? I can leave my pc on and have decent internet 24/7
I will appreciate your answers as many others like me will benefit from them.
Hi Shweta, it really depends on if it is worth it. If you can make more money than you spend on the tools, then I would say that it is worth it.
First, your tier 1 links are the backlinks that point directly to your website. These can be any type of link, but I like to use guest posts, niche forum posts, web 2.0s, and similar links. Then I will use GSA to send links to those backlinks.
For GSA to run correctly, you will need GSA of course, then a captcha solver which is about 100-150 dollars, and you can always use public proxies within GSA (they do not work as well) but if you are on a budget they are fine to start with. You also do not need a VPS when you are starting out. I would say about $250 to get started.
Thanks for taking out time to answer my queries. I appreciate it very much!
Hey Tom.
so ive shared this article on twitter and havent received anything to my email can you please send me that list of links
thank you
Ramon
p.s
and great freakin article on GSA really helped
Hey, my name is actually Neil, not tom XD. Please send an email at hostingtavern@gmail.com and I will see if I can dig up that list but I must warn you, it is very old.
Hi Niel I am a total novice trying to learn how GSA works. I have a blog I would love to rank and I believe from your explanations above, the blog is my 1 tier. Do I have to create another blog to make my 2 tier? Or how do I go about it. Please explain
No, your blog is your money site, the links you point to your money site are your tier 1. Make sure you do these cleanly and then backlink them slowly with GSA. That is what I would recommend starting out.
Please let me know if this software will work on windows 8.
I am not sure if it will or not. Shoot them a quick email from their site. They have always been great with support when I have emailed them.
Hi Neil,
Please let me know if GSA search engine ranker is windows 8 .2 compatible. If yes please let me know the link where i can buy the software from.
Thanks for all good info.
Any of the links should take you to where you can buy it. I am not sure if it is compatible with windows 8.2 (I assume it is) but I would send them an email asking first! They should get right back to you.
Hello Neil,
I have read quite a few articles on GSA on your blog and it is truly informative and much appreciated. I recently purchased GSA Ser and have followed your strategy of building links from a seed list which works well (LPM is 3)
However, when i downloaded the 19k site list and fed it into GSA, it built 0 backlinks. Am i doing something wrong or the list tends to wear out over a period of time.
Thanks and Regards
Candace Brown
Hey Candace! That list is actually very old now so it probably will not provide many links if any as you have noticed. Keep using the technique to make a seed list to make a bigger and bigger list. It sounds like you are on the right track!
Do you still use this tool? I bought this tool 5 months before, but I don’t use it at that time because my work are too busy. Today I read your article and I wonder does it still useful?
I want to build a blog to rank this keyword: “plus size cocktail dresses” with GSA SER, how do you assess that keyword with your experience?
Thank you!
I am still using GSA SER and have it running all the time. I no longer use it directly to my money site, but use it as a tier 2.
As for the keyword you want to rank for. I think you should do so more keyword research and find long tails that are easier to rank. Taking a look at the front page, the top 5 at least are big authority sites, which is always a huge pain to compete against. Not to say it cannot be done, but just my 2 cents!
Hey man, great article. I have been using GSA a few months now and love the software. But I was running into the same problems. Not getting many contextuals… for example… 9142 submitted and 50 verified. Is this normal? Also I use 10 web 2.0 that I created for my tier 1 pointing to the money site. Can I blast these web 2.0 with everything? Or do I have to use contextuals on them? Your input would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks again for the kick ass post!
Hey Todd! For contextuals, it is pretty normal to not get as many verified. How long have you been running it? Sometimes over a longer period of time you will end up getting more verified. Since you control those 10 web 2.0s, I would send more than just contextual links to them and power them up with almost everything. Test it out and let me know how it works. GSA is not perfect for contextual links but when you combine a bunch of link types, it usually works better.
Hi Neil,
I just launched a unique online freelance job portal business and looking to outrank my competitors as quickly and safely as possible. I have ‘No Hands SEO’ but after reading this, I think GSA SER is way to go. However, I have enough on my hands with other promotions, content marketing and generally running the business. Since you already have a hang of GSA SER, can I pay for your services to outrank my competitors while I focus on other stuff?
I will really appreciate your help and could cut you a good deal in addition if Surejobz is on Page 1 for most targeted keywords/keyphrases. Thanks.
Thank you for your interest, but I am afraid I am super busy and do not take on much client work. Try it for yourself and best of luck!
Just considering the article to beef upward my GSA settings. You’re web sites looking boss man. Keep in the great work!
Thanks!
You are so generous NEIL.. Thank you very much for every word you written here. Normally, How many links would you recommend for Tier 1? Is there any ratio for tier1: tier2?
There really is no set number of links for tier 1. Analyze your competition and see how many they have. I would focus more on obtaining good quality links these days instead of trying to get fewer and building tier 2 to them as I have not noticed much ranking increase from this in the last 6 months.
Thank you Very much for your response Neil, What do you think about Panda 4.2 update (July 17, 2015) ? do we have to change our SEO methods ?
Panda deals with quality of content on your site, penguin deals with links so you should be fine!
I’ve been using GSA for more than a month now, and I noticed that the verified links are not increasing anymore, they somehow got “stucked”. Is this normal? Or should I do something else like adding additional email accounts?
Thanks!
Check your emails manually and make sure they are coming in. Are you using your own list in GSA for targets?
is proxies needed for building links from competitor links. (without searching on google)
why I am getting your IP blocked on google after sometime
If you are not searching Google, you should not be getting IP blocked. If you are, are you scraping from the search results at all? If so, it is best to just have about 10 private proxies.
Fantastic article.
In the knowledge that we use buffer sites to build links with GSA…Replicating competitors backlinks. To achieve this do I build the competitors backlinks DIRECT to my money site? (assuming of course that I have vetted them and established GSA can build them)
Assuming I do build these links direct to the money site, do I need to set up tier 2 & 3 also, or just use the power the links have? If I juice them up I juice them up for the competition also.
Thank you

Hey Ian,
If you are going to replicate backlinks, things have changed in recent years. I am not really using GSA anymore, but if I were you, I would put a nice properly written buffer site between the GSA links and your money site to keep everything as safe as possible. If you do this, there is no reason to run more than that 1 tier of links to the buffer site.
How many proxy i can use?
As many as you have!
Great Post Neil. Do you think using GSA link is still safe on money site for tier 2 or tier 3 links,
To be honest, I have not used it in many years and have moved on to more whitehat SEO.
