Here's A Better Alternative To Proxy Scraper

Jim,

Rather than have to harvest proxies, here's a better alternative - and it's free.

The tool is called UltraSurf (ultrasurf.us) and it can basically be used to channel all search enquiries through a network of constantly refreshing free proxies. It's also used by millions of users for free internet privacy, and to get around firewall restrictions.

It first came to my attention as the developer for the Google Sweet Spot Tool (GSS) keyword analyser tool uses it, and it's flawless - I've never been blocked despite making zillions of enquiries.

With GSS, the developer generates the search queries in his app, and then runs them through Ultrasurf in the background. After 50 or so queries via one proxy set, the app then automatically gets another proxy and so on.

Perhaps worth a look - if you have any questions, get in touch and I'll do my best to help.

Cheers,

Chris

I have never heard of this app and while it could work for a little while unless you can rotate your IP every minute you are unlikely to see much success with this. Also it is hard to say whether the method of applying the proxy to windows will filter down to the searching methods of searching as NHSEO will override windows proxy settings in many situations.

When I installed it to test it out I was sadly unable to even get it to load up correctly, it could be a windows setup issue but whatever the case there are quite a few reasons that I would be hesitant to mention this as an alternative to some of the more popular proxy harvesting tools available. Inbuilt proxy harvesting is actually very close as well so these tools will not be needed very soon (a day or so).

No problems Jim - just thought it could be a possible solution.

But if proxy harvesting is almost good to go, that's excellent and thanks for all your hard work on this :)
