ScrapeBox Review

Filed under Link Building Software
ScrapeBox is best known for being auto blog commenting software, but is often referred to as an “SEO Swiss Army Knife”.
ScrapeBox is the best value product on the market right now costing a one of payment of $57 (if you use the appropriately named “CheapSkate” promo code, by appending “/cheapskate” to the url).
For your $57 you will get a tool that can:
- Harvest and check proxies
- Scrape search engine results for urls
- Extract links from websites
- Mass lookup PR (page rank) of urls
- Check pages indexed in all major search engines
- Harvest email addresses from web pages
- Filter lists to remove duplicate URLs
- Trim URL lists to the root domain
- Mass comment on 4 different blog platforms
- Spin your comments / target urls in comments
It has plugins to help you
- Find un-moderated blog comment sites (burned out spam buckets)
- Verify commentable status of blogs
- Scrape images
- Check for fake PR
- Check whether a website is “Alive”
- Domain resolver (find IP of domain)
- Port Scanner (can be bad bad badder than bad, dont port scan military servers!)
- Rapid indexer (works better than some backlink software!)
Loads and loads of uses for this thing, at a price seemingly negotiated by Ebineezer Scrooge himself.
I dont use this for comment spam, I dont like it, dont value it, cannot be bothered with it… but if thats your bag then this is the tool for you.
What I use this tool for is competitor analysis and finding more juicy high value targets. For that you will need to do a bit of reading outside of this blog and use your imagination, but if you understand the workings of the Information Sewer Highway it is not difficult to do.
With this tool and a little knowledge (always a dangerous thing) you can refine a list of 50,000 spam droppings into a list of 100 high quality link drops.
ScrapeBox is not the top product on my list of “Best Backlinking Software” because I dont earn bags of affiliate cash from it. I prefer to promote crap with the biggest payouts rather than giving you good advice
Ok, lets try again… ScrapeBox is not top of my list of best backlinking software because:
- I order that list in terms of which tool I would buy first. If you are a noob just starting out, this is not the first tool I would advise you get becuase it requires a bit of knowledge to exploit
- It is not the best backlinking tool because it relies soley on automated blog comments, which are not the best links.
It is my number 1 recommendation overall though, in terms of usefulness and value for money.
If you are specifically looking for a blog commenting tool, then this is the one to go for.
It is the best tool for finding backlink sources, conducting competitive analysis if you know how to use it.
Should You Buy ScrapeBox?
If you are serious about getting into SEO, analysing lists of sites, backlinks, scraping stuff up, gathering intellingence, or just an old fashioned comment spammer then absolutely, it is just a question of timing. I doubt it will remian $57 for ever, and on that basis you do not want to miss out on the deal of the century, on the other hand, you do need to know what you are doing to get any value out of it. If you do not know how to use the features of this tool and have no interest in the technical side of SEO then it would be a complete waste of money.
If you are a Noob with an extra $57 I would get this ASAP, you can learn a lot just by playing with this tool, but, if you want to go for links first, tool kit later, then perhaps get something Like Sick Submitter first as that is a more versatile / safe tool for backlinking.
You really cannot go wrong with this beastie for the price though, it really is the best deal around at the moment.


Dude, i cant get over how good these reviews are here. I am going to buy this software and i really would not mind using your affiliate link.
if you send me an email ill clear my cookies so you can get the commission. I will probably buy it tomorrow so try to email me by then.
Anyways thanks again for these great reviews. I will also probably by ur #1 recommendation sick submitter so send me an aff link for that one too if you’d like.
Thanks!

Thanks, but I dont think ScrapeBox have an aff program anyway. If you append /cheapskate to the URL you will get a sizeable discount though!
Thanks for the recommendation. I do some ppv advertising and this tool would be excellent to scrape target urls with.
What private proxy services do you recommend?
Proxy Bonanza are good for a lot of stuff, but they will NOT allow you to post mass comments from scrapebox. Also, if you are scraping lots of search engine results you can blow the bandwidth limitation they impose. So, for scrapebox your probably better off using the inbuilt harvester which will find free proxies for you… at least to begin with.
