Worth it if you already got a warm list and can keep feeding it. But if you're starting from zero, just another channel that needs love and attention before it spits out cash. Don't expect miracles with cold outreach, that's for sure.

Let me tell you a secret - raw cost per GB is bone for real world scaling. You wanna crush it, focus on quality, speed and stability. Cheap proxies are like cheap LP - they drown your CR faster than you can say ROI

Have you ever tried adding a delay between requests or randomizing your request times? I had a similar issue and it turned out the proxies or site were just throttling me hard unless I slowed down.

I once thought residential proxies were the holy grail but got flagged even with low query rates after a few days. Ended up swapping to a mix of datacenter proxies and went smoother, no flags so far. ymmv but that was my experience in 2025.

disavow files can be useful but I think they're not always necessary, especially if you keep a close eye on your backlink profile. I'd say it depends on how aggressive or spammy your link building is. ymmv but I

Different angle: I knew a guy who just cold emailed journalists with really good stories and got legit backlinks, no pitch spam. Sometimes just knowing who to reach out to and having a real story is still king, I think.

just my 2 cents but claims of using top protocols mean nothing if the configs are garbage or not tested regularly, gotta dig deeper than what they say.

Yeah I've been using Pitchbox for outreach too, it's a for managing multiple campaigns and follow-ups. Also started using SEMrush's backlink audit tool to clean up toxic links, ymmv but

Yep exactly, I get where you're coming from. but I kinda think there's a balance. like, some of those spammy templates can still bring in quick wins but maybe they mess with your long term trust. I've seen some guys do well with a mix, keep it legit but not overcomplicate things. so maybe the...

yo bruh, I think it depends a lot on the niche and how good your infographics look. I've seen some campaigns do well but they don't really last long unless you keep doing them consistently or add some value like embed codes. ymmv tho, some niches might get better longevity

you think prices are crazy now? I saw some mobile proxies going for like 80-150 bucks a month for decent quality, but some less known providers still offer around 50-70 if you buy in bulk. supply and demand, I guess, plus more legit providers are raising prices cuz of all the fraud and abuse...

Careful with assuming everyone's been audited, ymmv. I've run a few campaigns for a couple years now, and never had a single audit happen. Seems like it's kinda random or maybe depends on your niche or traffic sources, I dunno.

if u wanna keep it simple, try using proxy APIs for better reliability but have backup proxy lists ready just in case. ymmv but combining both can save u some headaches and keep your scraping steady.

How do you usually keep your list legit and avoid getting flagged or spam complaints?

bruh so true, these free vpns are just a trap. do y'all think any of them actually care about privacy or is it all just smoke and mirrors? seems like better to just skip the whole thing unless you wanna get tracked or leaked.

Different angle: I feel ya, but honestly, sometimes the pay schedules force us to plan our cash flow better. I've had to adapt my business to rely less on getting paid instantly and more on long-term planning. Still annoying tho.

spot on. so do you think sending a quick email with your stats and vertical info might actually help or is it better just to build some rapport first? like how do you approach that convo w/o feeling weird?
