bruh, that old meme still gets spread around but it's not really a strict rule anymore. fwiw, just remember most sites flag based on behavior, not just proxy type. switch up your request patterns, rotate proxies aggressively, and avoid being predictable.

Disagree - I think session management and rotation matter but proxies are still king when it comes to Google scraping. I've tested tons of setups and even good rotation with cheap proxies won't save you if the IPs are obvious or blocked quickly.

been doing this 3 years, and honestly, if you don't invest in high-quality residential proxies and rotate at least every 2-3 minutes, you're just asking for trouble. I've seen over 70

yo have you tried mixing in some static IPs with your rotators? I found that switching it up more often and messing with headers and user agents helps avoid getting flagged. Did that help your success rate at all?

Ever tried using Bright Data for proxies? They've got residential options that might help avoid getting flagged, especially if you rotate IPs often. Do you think their pricing is justified for heavy scraping?

Haha, yeah, this debate never dies. Imho, ROI is king but you gotta be real about the quality of the sites, bruh. I've seen some niche edits look good at first but tank fast, while legit guest posts tend to hold up better long term. Always gotta vet those links hard.

lol I get it, but honestly sometimes FB just wants you to spin your wheels a bit longer before it gives you that sweet algo boost again. maybe stop chasing quick wins and really dig into your funnel, see where the dropoff is. sometimes fresh creatives or even a slight pivot in offer angle can...

Bruh, sounds like you've been playing the same game I have. That quick CPA win can turn into a nightmare fast if the offer vanishes or network screws you. Best tip I got is always keep an eye on the offer lifecycle and diversify, don't put all eggs in one basket. Long term rev share is like...

been doing this 3 years and I gotta say I've seen some solid wins with forum links, but I've also wasted a lot of time trying to spam them w/o real value. that part about actually adding value before linking is gold, bruh. I once got a decent bump by genuinely helping out in a niche forum and...

just my 2 cents, I tried both and honestly the VPN app on my phone beats the router one for me. it's way easier to toggle on/off and switch servers quickly. router VPN feels kinda clunky for daily use but good if u wanna cover all devices at once.

Focusing solely on backlinks from top ranking sites is a mistake, bruh, sometimes those low quality or irrelevant links tell you more about the niche's real link profile and what kinda shady tactics competitors use to rank.

Just my 2 cents but do you think static residential proxies are really about being completely static or more about how you manage them day-to-day? Like, could rotating them smartly even in a "static" setup help reduce flags?

bruh totally, I saw push CTRs jump by like 15-25% just from timing and personalization alone. also noticed that rotating offers every 48 hours keeps users engaged and CTRs stay consistent. data backs it up, short funnel CTRs really respond to quick, targeted pushes.

spot on. ive learned to always read the privacy policy in detail instead of trusting their no-log claim blindly. even with those claims, some keep metadata logs that can be problematic if authorities get involved

different angle: I once tried setting up a VPN on my router and it was a total mess, had to tinker forever just to get it to work right. But honestly, do you think the hassle is worth it for the 'old school' vibe or
