SER is a real BEAST of a program! It can do so much that, I always have a little bit of a soft spot in my heart for people that are just starting to use it. Especially for those that may just be starting with internet marketing completely!
It is hard enough to figure IM or SER out by themselves when you know what you are doing, but sometimes you don't even know enough to know what questions to ask.
Because of this, I thought I would try to "give back" a little to the SER community. During my "journey" of learning SER, I have been compiling a list of notes, threads, links, etc. that have been helpful for me. So, I thought they might be helpful for others as well. Often, when people ask questions in this forum, they are told..."that has already been answered, just do a search on the forum, and find it yourself". Sometimes that is an appropriate answer. Sometimes it may not be. Also, with the forum getting so large any more, it can take forever to weed through everything to find what you need.
What I am doing here in no way supercedes of replaces other threads that have already been set up for your benefit. There are threads at the top of the forum for FAQs, training videos, etc. that everyone should spend the time to go through. They contain much of the info you need (some of it you need and you don't even know you need it! - until you read these threads).
My intention in this thread is just to provide a list of common "types" of questions/problems and list resources that I have compiled that help with these. My thanks goes out to all those who have provided the answers/resources that I have included here. They have helped me immensely!
*DISCLAIMER* - Use this info at your own discretion. I do not guarantee the accuracy of it (although I hope it is). Some of it may be out of date and, as SER developes further, surely more of it will become out of date (and inaccurate).
So here we go...
- How should I get started with SER?
Do not just "jump in" and start using it. Your time, at first, would be much better spent learning (at least on a basic level) how to get it set up properly.,.even if this takes you a week or two. Start with a good foundation and you will end up with a better building. Study the info listed here, in the FAQs, and shown in the videos.
- Good Training Videos from various people (Many of these are included in the "Announcement" threads at the begining of the forum
- Scraping Relevant URLs & using them in a specific project

- What are the MOST IMPORTANT things to consider for improving performance of SER
1.) You MUST USE private or semi-private proxies!!!
- Where to get proxies from

- Recommended settings for proxies (thanks @Ozz !)
http://forum.gsa-online.de/discussion/comment/22552#Comment_22552
- Regularly check your proxies (YES...even though they are private/semi-private)
- Best stand-alone proxy checker...download link...
http://www.project2025.com/Charon.zip
- You don't have to install it, just unzip the folder and get to work.
- By default, it comes set to use "Internal Judge" and I found some recommendations on-line to use this setting. But I could not get it to work. Under "Connect Options", I set this to "External". Then under "Judge Options", click on "Test Judges". Delete all the bad ones. Right click on the best one remaining and click "Copy judge(s) to clipboard". If there are no good ones left, search Google for "proxy judges" and copy list from there into Charon and retest.
2.) Provide more keywords for your projects.
3.) Limit posting to platforms that are getting results.
Here is how to check...
Options > Advanced > Tools and then the stats there. Then compare the number Submitted vs the number Verified (or number Identified vs number Submitted)
4.) Don't expect to be able to create huge numbers of links when you only have a few projects.
5.) Run SER on a PC that can handle it, and that has a good internet connection. This DOES NOT have to be a VPS.

When scraping & importing files into SER....you should delete duplicate domains for all engines except blogs/image comments.

- Searching for things on the forum.
Using the "Search" function on the forum itself, it is often very difficult to find what you are looking for. It is usually much more beneficial to do your search in Google. You will get more "targeted" results than you do from searching in the forum.
To search in Google use this...
site:forum.gsa-online.de "enter your search term here"
(The quotes are not necessary, but may help if you know "exactly" what you are searching for. Otherwise put in your search term without the quotes.)
- How do I get SER, SEO Indexer, or Captcha Breaker? (Maybe I should have listed these first.

There is, no doubt, much more that could go in here, but this should provide a good start for most people. Hopefully others will chip in with additional beneficial items as well.
GSA forum itself is a beast to learn more about that tool. So this is just a quick links to learn and gain more and more knowledge.
