Scrapebox can post to the following platforms:

Fast Poster Mode:
Wordpress
Moveable Type
B2Evolution
BlogEngine
Slow Poster Mode:
Wordpress
Moveable Type
B2Evolution
BlogEngine
Drupal
Expression Engine

 

This is the the pre-configured, out of the box platforms.  When using the learning mode addon, the platforms that you can teach Scrapebox are virtually endless.

In the "Select Engines & Proxies" section there is a box labeled "Results:" this is where you specify how many urls you want returned for each keyword for each engine you choose.

Due to the API limits set by the engines 1000 urls is the most you scrape per engine per keyword.

After much testing we have found that the 2 best proxy providers are:

ScrapeboxProxy – Use Discount Code: MAttPROMO  for a 15% discount off your first month

YourPrivateProxy

They both provide robust, solid proxies that have never failed us.  They both have unlimited bandwidth and they both provide great customer service.  They are simply the best providers out there when it comes to scrapebox proxies.

You can not use it with the Mac OS.  You can use it with either Parralles or Boot Camp running windows of course.

The answer to this question is really a site unto itself.  To that end, scrapebox.com is going to give you the full answer.

Basically ScrapeBox is a multifunction tool that allows you to do many things.  The highlights are that you can:

Scrape, Check, Ping, and Post

It allows you to scrape all the major engines for the footprints you would like.  You can the post comments to several blog platforms.  You can check those urls to see if your links stuck.  You can also ping urls so that google can see them.  You can create a custom RSS feed and submit it to RSS aggregators.  You can mass Page Rank Check urls as well as apply many filters to lists.  Not to mention the extensive addon list which includes everything from Google Competition Finder to Dofollow/Nofollow checker to chess that you can play while you wait.  All complete with full proxy support and regular updates.

Yes you can use it with a VPS or a Dedicated Server so long as it is running Windows.  It has been tested with both windows 2003 and 2008 server.

You can lock a specific anchor to a specific url when posting.  This allows you to post to many urls with different anchors in the same posting run.   This feature is called Link Lock.

You use link lock in the websites.txt file.  It should be formatted like this:

http://www.site.com {anchor1|anchor2|etc..}
http://www.site1.com {anchor1|anchor2|etc..}

You still are required place something in the names.txt file, as this is the backup file that will be used if something goes wrong.  For instance if your spin syntax was messed up, scrapebox may not be able to understand what anchor you wanted, so it would use a line from the names file.

Whatever you place in the names section is what will be used as your anchor.
