Scrapebox Link Checker

How does the link checker work?

The link checker checks strictly for text.  So if you put in:

Hi how are you?

It will check the html code on all the pages you load up for that phrase.

When you put in:

http://www.site.com

It checks for that text, which would appear if there was a link on the page.

How does the link checker treat spinnable text {spinnable}?

The link checker ignores any text inside of {}.

Such as:

http://www.site.com/id=220 {anchor|anchor2|anchor3|John Smith}

It will check for the link only and ignore the rest.

How does the link checker treat the / on the end of links?

The link checker will automatically check for links both with and without the trailing slash.

How do you use proxies with the ScrapeBox link checker?

By default the link checker does not use proxies.  However you can change a setting in the ini file that causes the link checker to use proxies.  First shutdown scrapebox if it is running.

In your main scrapebox folder >> configuration >> scrapebox.ini - edit this scrapebox.ini file.

Under the [Advanced] section you will see this entry:

UseProxiesInLinkChecker=False  (or it might say 0 instead of false).

If you do not have that entry you can add it, or just download a completely updated package from http://www.scrapebox.com/payment-received

Change it to:

UseProxiesInLinkChecker=1

Then save the file.  Then launch scrapebox and when you tick off the use proxies box, the link checker will use the proxies you have loaded.  Remember, if you load in public proxies or bad proxies it will reduce your success rate.  I would recommend to only use private or shared paid proxies for this.
