Anyone have any experience with GSA Search Engine Ranker?

[hakireview]

I have never used this GSA tool but it seems like a risky thing to do. This is black hat.
But until now this tool is still sold then I think GSA tool is still helpful for ranking!
Can anyone share your real experience when using this tool?
Thank you!

It's a spamming tool and you should avoid it, like suggested by above. With spam you are at risk of being penalized in one way or another, and then all other efforts that you have made will be in vain. So my advice is to not use the search engine ranker. You will just waste your time when you could do more constructive things when it comes to SEO.

If you know what you are doing, sure you can rank with SPAM.

Really? How on earth can you do that?

SPAM is UCE or Unsolicited Commercial Email. There's a difference between spam and "blackhat" techniques to rank in search engines. Here's a little clue: one is illegal.

Every "blackhat" technique is a legitimate way to manipulate search engines, the majority are completely legal, and many can make you a great deal of money if you know what you're doing.

Anyone thinking of trying this, don't waste your time.

Why? Because you don't know how to use blackhat?

@msharron
Because I haven't used this tool yet so I don't know whether it's helpful or not :|
Have you tried this tool?

 

[hakireview]

@TomJ83 But this tool is still sold, and I think the tool is not bad, the thing is how to use in a right way! And I'm still find where to learn using this tool!

 

[hakireview]

@Clinton I think the good point of blackhat is it will help save a lot of time!
It requires thinking system and more intellectual materials than Whitehat. Because when you do whitehat, you don't have enough time to do other things )
By the way, can you share some your experience with this tool? Thank you

GSA SER is still useful to play with if you're new-ish to SEO, just the same as SAPE networks are and low quality PBN networks from BHW or WF. You can find your limitations, test things on sites that don't matter and generally build, measure & learn.

GSA SER still has its uses, regardless of what anyone says, blackhat is very much still dominant, proven by the fact that the biggest affiliate sites/players are blackhat SEO's

 

[fisicx]

Indeed, but the OP isn't a black hat player. They may well use the tool hoping it will help and discover their site crash and burn.

He is referring to link spam, which is a common term in SEO, and not email spam. GSA is a link spamming tool that can spam multiple platforms such as blogs and discussion forums (and much more) with automated random threads or blog comments with link signatures, just to gain an advantage. It is a black hat link building software that can build links in the thousands.

You tend to find guest post opportunities on fiverr are rife with websites that have been influenced by GSA, just to manipulate a websites DA.

Tell that to all of the payday loan sharks that had their websites blasted out of the sky by Google

I know what he's referring to, but he didn't say "link spam".

We have far too many people around here who know next to nothing about SEO but who repeat nonsense they heard in some SEO forum or blog.

Generally this tends to be, in some way or form, a repetition of the mindless drivel from Google guidelines or some FUD nonsense from the puppet master Cutts.

SEOs who know what they are doing make tons of money from blackhat techniques. I know several of them from the days before Google was invented. Some of them are still manipulating Google today and taking full advantage of the numerous holes in the algo.

Not just in the algo but in the Google's approach to dealing with algo flaws. For example, Google will let a flaw exist for months and months and not take manual action to fix it because they are looking for an automated way to deal with the issue. In that time, those who know how to exploit the flaw can make millions.

There's no need to tell that to anyone. The people who know how to play Google will keep playing Google while the amateurs keep worshipping at the altar of Matt Cutts and posting nonsense in UKBF about how blackhat is bad / unethical / illegal / whatever.

I don't use GSA but I can see it being useful if employed correctly and in combination with the right other tools.

Welcome to the UKBF.

Have you used this tool yet?
Can you share some your experience when using this tool?

 

[hakireview]

So maybe a quick knowledge drop on how to use GSA? Ill share the theory but if you get burned dont come crying, you've bern warned.

Amyone want to know more?

Yes, please share your experience with this tool!

 

[hakireview]

Okay, here's the theory. Every page on the interwebs has a low inherent page rank score.
Page rank passes through links like water through pipes.

GSA ===LINKs===>MONEY SITE = PENALTY

GSA===LINKS===>TIER 1==LINKS=>MONEY SITE = TIERED LINK BUILDING

You essentially get links to your site on a 3rd party website, either someone elses (real douchebag thing to do) or a Web 2.0 property, these are known as Tier 1 links.

You then use GSA to SPAM THE LIVING HELL out of the site that is linking to you. The idea being that you channel page rank from a TIER 1 site. The negative impact of the spam is filtered through the TIER 1 site and your site gets a boost.

What I have just described is a very basic description of the setup, in actuality, it's more complicated than that. but that's the gist of how it works.

Factors to consider are multiple tiers of links. anchors text patterns, link velocity.

That's all I'm giving away, emphasis on the "douchebag" comment above.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
I should try this tool first before decide use it for my main site!
By the way, can you let me know why the links at my signature don't work? Thanks!

I think you have to become a full member to get active links in the signature.

 

[TomJ83]

That sounds harsh. Couldn't you say it in a nicer way?

Pay the damn membership!!!

It turns out to be like that! Thanks, men
