Question

ScrapeBox is one of those tools I always seem to come back to. Even years later I'm still uncovering new ways to use it. Do you use it? If so how?  

Answer 1

Haven't in a while

Answer 2

@marozas7000 are using it in your screenshot to check blogs for niche relevant comment opportunities?  

Comments

Not really. I actually rarely use it these days for backlinks. More for creative outreach opportunities. Hint Google Search Operators + ScrapeBox = Magic.  

Answer 3

Wat this do in a nutshell pls

Comments

It's a fully customizable scraping and auto poster tool.  

---

You know all those spam comments you get on your blog? Yea those are done with ScrapeBox. ;S

Answer 4

Scraping stuff.  

Answer 5

With scrapebox automator plugin it gets way more powerful. Scrapebox works in Mac too. and you can use Mac automator with this for another automations outside of the scrapebox. As automator plugin doesn't work in Mac.  

Comments

Didn't even realize it had an Automator addon. That'll save some time.  

---

I use the mac version as well. Just started playing with the custom data grabber. Can't believe I never used that until now.  

---

Also I’m getting to brush off my regex skills.  

---

Great, It also has rank tracker. One more thing you can do is, you can back your whole youtube channel too. Scarpebox has youtube video downloader built in.  

---

@levitt5732 didn’t realize it has a Mac version. I’ve been missing it forever.  

---

Yeah Patrick, it has. but a bit less features compared to windows. The thing for the mac, you have to buy a new license for it. but just ask the support for the Mac license with the same details of your previous license. i. e. using the same email I'd. By using the same email I'd, you get discount for the Mac license.  

---

By doing that, all your paid plugins get transferred to Mac version too for free.  

Answer 6

Great tool for all kind of stuff.  

Answer 7

So, how do you use it then?  

Comments

I use it in tandem with Google search operators to find target bulk websites with issues, then create a custom outreach strategy. (Basically lead gen 2. 0)

---

@marozas7000 broken link building?  

---

@bottleneck that’s one utilization.  

---

Bulk websites with issues? Interesting. Do you mind an example case of using the search operator to find broken elements on a site? - It's late here and I can't think of one  

Answer 8

I use it to post to my PBNs with the xml rpc bulk poster and to bulk translate documents. Its a great swiss knife.  

Answer 9

For the Scrapeboxnya tools

Answer 10

Scrapebox is amazing. I don't even use it for posting lol

Comments

@newby5 same here. That’s how I started using it like 8 years ago when that kinda of thing worked. Now I use it totally differently but still it’s an awesome tool.  

---

@marozas7000 same lol. I would use it to get backlinks but now it's mainly for research  

---

@newby5 what type of research mate

---

@povertystricken literally anything I need to do that requires a search engine lol.  

---

Give one example bro

---

@povertystricken if I'm searching for some niche websites, with high authority, I can scrape them together and manually outreach to them for guest posts.  

---

Oh ok yeh I do same, but how are you seperating based on authority? Are you scraping like write for us sites and doing batch analysis?  

Answer 11

I've never heard of it.  

Answer 12

Love it, what add ons are you using, if any?  

Answer 13

Ooooh, I remember commenting on a ***ahem*** few blog posts with Scrapebox! Combined with Xrumer, it was all you needed for the #1 spot in any niche! Memories! :)

Answer 14

GSA came out with a posting tool recently.  

Comments

What's the name of it?  

---

@squill GSA Website contact. gsa-online. de/product/web_contact/

---

@spider Oh wow - that's been around for 1. 5years. I thought it was something more recent ;-)

Answer 15

Serp scrapes before email extraction.  

Answer 16

@marozas7000 do you know if there's an easy setup that will scrape the existing blog comments on sites including the dates the comments were published?  

Comments

@dimorph28475 I’m not sure if you can do that all out of the box, but with the custom data grabber, there is almost no limit to what you can scrape. Only limited by your imagination and ability to use regex. (Which is easy to learn)

---

@marozas7000 Thank you, I will look into the custom data grabber and play around with it. I'm not an expert with Scrapebox but there's times I really wish I was

---

Long story short. I had hired a freelancer on a freelance job board to develop a specific scraper in Python but the gig got flagged for a violation. So I remembered scrape box had some custom capabilities and learned how to craft the same solution in about an hour. 

Answer 17

I tend to use my own scrapers these days more than Scrapebox, but definitely a great tool.  

Answer 18

All the time, for white hat link building.  

Answer 19

Yeh i scrape phone numbers

Answer 20

Yup, everyday

Answer 21

Scrapebox beginner question - how come when I set my results to 1000 scrapebox doesn't harvest the full amount?  

Comments
