I broke my Scrapebox virginity, let's check the sheets...

Hey there guys.
Well after buying SB blasts and measuring their successes/failures I finally bit the bullet and bought the full version of this kick ass tool.

I did a responsible first blast and I want some experts to chime in on if it sounds proper.

Loaded in 100+ public proxies.

I set the footprint to Wordpress only and loaded in like 50 targeted keywords
resulting in about a 5k harvest.

Removing dupes pulled it to about 3.5k.

Spun 4 comments that were super sexy and funny to the niche.

Ka-bam! Blasted.. (on fast mode) got 792 successes (I didn't have time last night to run through again on slow mode).

Ok this all seems what I can expect, seems cool.

I immediately checked links (here I am asking was this maybe too soon to check them?) and didn't finish the report but went through like 1/2 and none were found. I am thinking they are all in moderation because I did not use an auto-approve list or anything.

Seemed super easy to do all this, I wonder if it even worked properly....

What do I do now?

Wait a couple days then run check links?
After I find some links that stuck (this verifies that I did it right) then I run the pinger?

Can I use just the WP footprint or do I need to add things like "allintitle" and such to my harvesting?

Did I miss a step?

I am dying to run some controlled blasts on all my sites and do periodic blasts but it just seemed too easy haha makes me worried

Advisers, chime in and don't kick my ass for sounding stupid

Have you used general names in or your keyword as a name ? It seems you blast only moderated blogs. Wait few more days.Depending on your comment(related or not to the page where you posted)and on you anchor text that you used for names maybe some admins will accept your post.
You don't need to ping a FOUND entry. If it's found that means is an active blog, so you comment will be indexed.

You can use wordpress footprint or you can create your own footprint. (google it)

5k harvest is nothing, you need to get a bigger keyword list. Most of the blogs you post to aren't going to approve you. When I still had a VPS (a month or 2 ago) I'd get 5-10m wordpress blog posts in one scrape. (before removing duplicates) A huge proportion won't get commented on for one reason or another, and a huge amount of those won't get approved.

Thanks dudes, that's great advice.
The count was so low -joe- cause I was testing and getting my sea legs.

I wanted to see what all the alerts were, popups, warnings, sounds, crashes whatever.
I was also testing how much BW it would use.

I can't imagine a 2M list wow.

I will probably harvest 5PR and up blogs and save them off for manual or more controlled blasting, anything 4 PR and under I will blast in large and larger circles of relevancey.

Of course then I have to be worried and check for, blogs I have already commented on.
The idea is to not tip google off and to build a nice incremental rate until I have zillions of backlinks.

I am sure one my skills go up with SB I will easily blast 20k blogs and spin super nice comments and what not.

My comments are already so good that wickedfire owners would approve my comment, wait, sweety the creator of scrapebox would approve my comment hahaha

Yes they are that good.
Thanks for answering my Q guys
