Proxies for SEO tools, scraping Google safely? Or just wasting $$?

so ive been trying out a bunch of those big name residential proxies for scraping google lately. everyone says theyre the safest but tbh the speeds are so random. some are crazy slow under 1 rps and others just get me blocked in like two minutes. they advertise 100+ ms or whatever but then i sit there forever waiting for results. idk if its just my setup or these companies are all talk honestly. anyone else run into proxies that just fall apart with google? feels like the whole residential proxy hype is kinda overblown sometimes. i just lost a whole campaign and now im wondering if paying more actually means better stealth or if i got played yet again
 
Yeah, I've seen that too, like 100+ ms proxies often turn into 300-400 ms real quick. It's kinda a joke how some of these providers hype their speed but deliver garbage once you start scraping. I've lost campaigns just cuz of crappy proxies that seem legit but aren't built for heavy Google scrapes.
 
Most ppl think paying more = better stealth but honestly, it's not always true. Sometimes a cheaper residential proxy with good rotation and a clean IP pool can outperform expensive ones. Also, adding some delay and randomization helps avoid blocks more than just relying on premium proxies. Don't overpay for hype, test different providers and tweak your scraping tempo. Stay sharp.
 
Been doing this 3 years and yeah I've seen proxies that are basically unusable under 1 rps, and some that get you blocked quick. It's all about the IP pool and how often
 
Sounds about right, some proxies are just hype and not fit for real scraping. Speed and stealth often come down to the IP pool quality, not the price tag.
 
Careful with trusting the hype, most of those big proxy providers overpromise and underdeliver, especially with google. The IP pool quality and rotation are king, not the price tag.
 
bruh, same here. some proxies just can't keep up with google. expensive doesnt always = better stealth.
 
do you think the ones that actually work long term are just rare gems or do they all just play the same game with tricks?
 
nah, I think most of those proxies are just all talk, honestly. pay more, get less sometimes, it's kinda the norm. speed and stealth are just luck with those big providers
 
careful with proxies man, I tried a bunch to scrape Google and it just felt like throwing $$ away. some proxies worked for a bit but then got flagged fast. imo, not worth it unless u know what ur doin.
 
just my 2 cents, been down that road too. some proxies work for a while but Google catches on quick if u not careful. waste of $$ if u not rotating and testing nonstop.
 
You ever tried using residential proxies with a very slow rotation? I lowkey found that helps avoid the quick flagging, but man, it's expensive. Do you think the cost is worth it for long-term scraping?
 
different angle: I ran a test last year, used like 50 different proxies over a month, and I still got my IPs blocked after a couple hours. seems like no matter what, google's got a mind of its own. (guess it's
 
yep exactly, google is unpredictable rn. no proxy can 100% guarantee safe scraping, gotta mix methods or stay low pro.
 
careful with thinking proxies are a silver bullet, google's always updating and getting smarter. even with a big budget on proxies, u still might get blocked if u push too hard or don't blend ur methods. best bet
 
just my 2 cents: I tried using rotating proxies last year for Google scraping and still got blocked after a while, so no magic bullet there. seems like you gotta stay super low key and mix methods, not rely on proxies alone.
 
Do you really think google's unpredictability is the main issue? I've had decent success with rotating proxies and careful timing, even now. Sometimes it's more about how you use them than just having the proxies.
 
If you wanna get better results, try Oxylabs residential proxies. They got a legit reputation for sneaking past Google's filters. just make sure to slow down your requests and randomize timing so u don't scream "bot" too loud.
 
I think proxies can be useful but not always necessary. A good tip is to rotate your IPs frequently and keep scraping times short so you don't get flagged. Also, try using residential proxies if you want to stay under the radar longer.
 
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?
