Custom Proxy Labels/Tags to segregate proxy type usage (e.g., Search Engine vs. Posting & Verify

dotasense — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 17:45:22 +0000

Hi Sven and the GSA community,

I would like to propose a highly useful feature for the GSA SER Proxy Manager: Custom Proxy Labels (or Tags).

The Current Limitation:

Currently, while we can assign proxies globally or per project, it is difficult to strictly dictate which proxy is used for which specific task within the same project. For advanced users who manage multiple types of proxies, this often leads to inefficiency. For example, GSA might accidentally use an expensive rotating residential proxy for a simple posting task (wasting money), or worse, use a cheap datacenter proxy for search engine parsing (resulting in immediate IP bans or CAPTCHA blocks).

The Proposed Solution:
Add a "Label" or "Tag" column in the Proxy Manager (e.g., SearchOnly, PostOnly, VerifyOnly, ScrapeOnly).

Then, in the Project Options > Proxy tab, allow users to filter or select proxies based on these labels, similar to how we currently select proxy countries.

Practical Use Case:

Let’s say I have two types of proxies in my global list:

Label: ROTATING_RES (High-quality, auto-rotating residential/mobile proxies). I want to restrict these to be used ONLY for Search Engine parsing/scraping to avoid IP bans.

Label: STATIC_PRIVATE (Cheap, fast datacenter proxies). I want to restrict these to be used ONLY for actual link posting and email verification.

With custom labels, I could simply check "Use proxies with label: ROTATING_RES" under the Search Engine settings, and "Use proxies with label: STATIC_PRIVATE" under the Posting settings.

Benefits:

Cost Efficiency: Prevents wasting expensive proxy bandwidth on tasks that don't require it.
Higher Success Rates: Ensures the right type of proxy is used for the right task (e.g., residential for scraping, static for posting).
Better Organization: Makes managing large, mixed proxy lists much easier for advanced users.

I believe this would be a relatively straightforward addition to the UI but would bring massive value to power users.

Thanks for considering this, and keep up the great work on GSA SER!

1. Import All Project Settings/Data 2. Set as Tier

Deeeeeeee — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 01:34:28 +0000

As far as I am aware, this is not something that is an option with SER to import data and settings from a project. If it's there, please let me know.

Import all project settings and Data

We could have a checklist like we do for the DELETE function, I guess?

My reason for this: Since the beginning, I've created tiers that may have been different than the higher tier they are linked from.

So, instead of making real tiers with SER, I created other projects that may have been different or copied from still other projects, and then made them tiers manually.

Does this matter? They are not [Tiers]? If I change the name of the project, does that make them [tiers]?

Better Q: Does a [tier] behave differently? Like if a higher tier loses a link will the [tier] lose links associated?

Set as Tier

So if it does matter, can we also have a way to set a project as an "official" registered tier, if it is not already when we first created it?

If [Tier] does do something, i am guessing this may not be possible.

Article Manager in GSA How to Link Random Location Rules

Deeeeeeee — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 02:23:12 +0000

Still thinking about this but unsure if it has real use value.

How to Link: [Just a link at a random location]

This covers the main KW for an article submitting project.

Sven, could we have a choice of how the KW will be inserted?

Like.

[X] Legacy Behavior

[ ] Exact Match Else KW in Short Sentence in Parenthesis random point in article

[ ] Exact Match Else KW in Sentence At Bottom

[ ] Partial Match Else KW in Short Sentence in Parenthesis random point in article

[ ] Partial Match Else KW Sentence At Bottom

Partial Match Rules

[ ] Use Masks Enter Mask(s) {|} ______________________________

Setting either of the above two happens if you fill in either blank.

Deja Vu. I know I thought of this once before but slightly differently!!

haha found it

"Hmm...to deal with the spaces also....

...can
we have an AND/OR toggle...or I guess masks that include a space would
work, too. lol That's how you usually do this, no? So I guess that part
is already taken care of!

My concern is so we can have a phrase like "GSA CG" end up as "GSA Content Generator" (Mask: GSA, CG)
and not end up with "GSA GSA Content Generator" or "GSA Content Generator CG".

If the Masks were (GSA,CG,GSA CG) I guess you have to check the ones with spaces first?"

Sven www.GSA-Online.de

A mask in all GSA products is either a word and has to match just words or a "real mask" with *string*.
You can join many with the pipe "|" like word|word2|*string*|...

Sven, I'm not sure I understand at this point. Sorry. Can you please explain again.

Project Status: Disabled

Deeeeeeee — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 01:26:48 +0000

Hi, Sven and all.

I know I asked a similar Q in the past...

But it still seems to make sense.

I know i can just disable engines or ways of getting targets.

SO that is already doable, but in the main project pane you won't know that is the case.

But this could quickly do the same without having to mess with setting you may want to retain.

This is all so we don't accidentally run a project for whatever reason we may not want to.

Could We Get Generic URLs On A Per-Project Basis?

Deeeeeeee — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 17:22:04 +0000

Sven, could we have each project so each has its own Generic URLs (in the Article Pane) if we choose to NOT use the default file? Like we have for images and videos?

That would be great.

Maybe even better, but maybe not worth it, is this idea:

Maybe images and video, as they are now, could be changed? Maybe increased user options could apply to all three data sets, not just the proposed Generic URLs?

So not only would users have increased flexibility working with Generic URLs, but also with images and videos?

We could have something even better than a separate project-based set of data for each the generic URLs, images, and video, that are saved to fixed files associated with each project, with the goal of making this data more easy for the user to work with.

Maybe, Sven, we could also gain the ability to choose the file associated with each project on user choosing NOT to go with the default file when Random URLs is checked?

This could work for images and video, too...

Having a choice of importing any of the three...the images, the videos, and the random URLs...from other projects, or just choosing from other projects by checklist or importing from file or just using the data in external file?

I know I would find this useful, and I'd be able to work with all this more easily. Not sure if other users would also benefit, but I would think so.

Thank you.

Some more options for selective blacklisting for same domain based on engine

googlealchemist — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 18:06:25 +0000

Best example I can use for what I'm asking is if a forum profile is set to noindex, I dont want to build those profiles on that domain but...

I'd still like the domain to be used for indexable public forum posts, or blog comments, redirects, etc.

It'd be great to be able to have an option to sort this out without having to have a million separate projects separated by engines, domains, etc

Feature Request: Smart Captcha Allocation by Engine/Link Type

Anonymous — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 00:41:40 +0000

Right now, when we set up backup captcha services (like 2Captcha, Antigate, etc.), they get triggered whenever XEvil fails regardless of the engine or link type. This leads to wasted resources on low‑value engines (guestbooks, image comments, blog comments, etc.) that don’t justify the cost of expensive captcha solving.

Proposed Feature:

Add an option to filter backup captcha usage by engine category and link type.
Example:
- If the engine is under Articles (contextual backlinks, dofollow), then allow backup captcha solving (pass to 2Captcha if XEvil fails).
- If the engine is Guestbooks, Image Comments, Blog Comments, etc., then skip backup captcha solving entirely.

Benefits:

Saves money by avoiding unnecessary captcha costs on non‑contextual/no‑follow links.
Lets users prioritize contextual dofollow backlinks, which are the most valuable for SEO.
Provides more granular control over captcha resource allocation, making campaigns more economical and efficient.

This way, users can focus their paid captcha solving power on what really matters contextual dofollow links instead of burning credits on engines that don’t move the needle.

Clean up removal tool engine selection - Ease of engine selections help

googlealchemist — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 19:38:04 +0000

For the clean up (check and remove non working) tool in the settings/advanced area. Could we get the options to be more like the remove dup url function.

IE sorted by alphabetical

sitelist_Article

etc

Or some other way where we can just easily select them based on the engine type. I have a ton of urls I'd like to have the software go thru and check if they are alive still and if so, if they need to be re sorted into any other/additional engine platforms since they were originally imported/identified.

But I dont want to waste a ton of time going thru blog comments/guestbooks/etc right now, just focusing on the primary contextual engines and a few others I actively use right now.

But the clean up tool looks like its just one big list of alphabetically sorted engines w/o any sort of batching together of the various types like the above mentioned dup removal tool.

Thanks

Adding a Macro that will use branded anchors for Tiers 2-3+

truthealer07 — Thu, 14 May 2026 11:48:17 +0000

I would like to suggest a feature be added to GSA in the form of a macro that will use the brand of the site that it is posting a link to so that we are able to use branded anchors for tier 2, tier 3 and beyond. The macro should post the name of the site without the .net, .com etc. So if it posting a link for the website google.com it will just list it as google.

In addition to this I would like to suggest another macro that will do the same thing but break up the words(if possible). So if i am posting a link for the website nerdwallet.com it will remove the .com and post it as nerd wallet with a space.

Feature Request – Display LpM (VpM) Stats Together

Anonymous — Sun, 10 May 2026 22:06:10 +0000

Hello,

I’d like to suggest a small but useful enhancement for GSA SER. Currently, when we select “With download failed,” the stats are shown in a clear way. Could we have a similar option for LpM (VpM), so that both stats are displayed at the same time?

This would make it easier to monitor performance without switching views, and provide a more complete picture of link building speed and verification progress in one glance.

Would this be doable to implement?

Add API to GSA SER and Contact form marketing?

hardcorenuker — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 10:28:39 +0000

@Sven I am playing with moltbot (https://clawd.bot/) and it is interesting.

I am wondering if you can add API to GSA SER and maybe contact form marketing so that I can get moltbot to manage the projects (turn on or off, or restart, get reports etc) easily

This isnt just for me, i think this big trend in AI will continue and instead of us managing the GUI of GSA products, having APIs will allow more of your customers to handle the sotware using natural language.

Hope you consider this. thanks!

Suggested removal of outdated options in SER (Filter & Indexing sections)

verdemuschio — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 14:25:40 +0000

Hi Sven,

I’d like to suggest reviewing two options in SER that, in practice, no longer provide real value in modern SEO workflows:

Filter → “Skip submission if the URL/domain is appearing on one of the following blacklists”
This feature is based on public DNS/host blacklists that are outdated, inconsistent, and often unrelated to SEO quality.
When enabled, it also slows down the submission process, increases proxy usage, and introduces unnecessary overhead—without offering any real benefit for the final link quality. Since SER already relies on project-level filters (engines, metrics, footprints, etc.), this option has become redundant.
Indexing → “Submit backlink URLs to blog search engines”
Most of these ping services (Twingly, WeblogUpdates, etc.) are no longer active or no longer used by search engines.
Submitting to them doesn’t have any measurable impact on indexing anymore. Keeping the option active today only creates extra traffic and adds noise without improving results.

Given that SER has evolved a lot and focuses on more practical indexing options, removing these legacy features could free up UI space and reduce confusion for new users. Those areas could be reused for functions that better reflect current indexing or filtering methods.

Just a suggestion for future versions. Thanks as always for your work on SER.

Best regards.

skip sites with the following words in url/domain - request to make it root domain specific not url

googlealchemist — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 18:38:40 +0000

I have a list I've curated of super spammy keywords that i want to avoid getting links from any domains that have them in it...basically porn/gambling/pills type stuff.

i see the main system wide settings has the blacklist for actual domains but within the specific project settings i can add my keyword blacklist in the "skip sites with the following words in url/domain" section.

its the 'url' part that is holding me up. if i have a ton of sites scraped and alot of them were used for building links to the type of sites in the niches i want to avoid...like redirects/indexers/contextual profile urls etc

gooddomain.com/redirect=spammynichedomainurl.com

gooddomain.com/userprofilesuperspammykeywordhere

gooddomain.com/indexersite-spammykeyworddomainhere.com

etc

i still want to get a link from that good domain, so i dont want ser to filter it out based on the full url where its going to see one or more of my blacklisted spam keywords to not build links on

id rather not have to strip every domain in my lists to their root and re import/identify/etc the whole thing to clean this up. other than the resources wasted to do that, i would be worried it wouldnt identify all the same link targets again like it did with the inner page.

Project Article Manager Feature Request: Insert X-Y addt'l links OPTIONS

Deeeeeeee — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 20:28:03 +0000

Hi, Sven! I have a few ideas I was wondering if you and the GSA community might consider.

The first request is adding another option for

Insert X-Y addt'l links (just a link in an article- use a random word/phrase)

Could we also control placement of this anchor - at the begin/middle/end/all of the article (that we can set) like "visit us on Google at LINK" (As we already have for the MAIN article KW?)

Truthfully, I realize I don't know how the existing 2 options operate! Umm...does SER already do this? Sorry...

Also wondering if this could be a checklist pop-up...so we can choose to have secondary links at the bottom of article in a sentence, as well as at the top and middle, all with different canned sentences, if not choosing the other two options that already exist? (just a link in an article- use a random word/phrase)

The second request is adding an option for specifying anchor source from the different anchors lists for the project or all. Then we can use anchor lists like Partial or LSI or whatever for this if we're already using (or not even using!!) and have more precise project secondary anchor control using these anchor lists for this slot in the article.

Proposal for GSA URL Testing Tool

Deeeeeeee — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 20:11:04 +0000

I think that this would be great to have. If you check its use ✅ within a project, the SER shifts the burden of re-verification to the module and relies on saved settings for that project. So for that project, and all checked projects, SER does no re-verifying, ever. I guess this program will have to update links two of SER's project lists, Verified and Failed_Re-Verification, as well as update last-link-check date info in SER-associated project files as well. And, I guess it needs its own per-project supplemental Reverify setting file.

This could work with both SER and other SEO programs, as well as be fed lists or work with an API for greatest use-instance!

This could be lightweight because it's relatively simple.

The utility could be written for SER so we can have:

Re-verify URLs on Verified URLs list (or on templates for popular SEO programs, or user-defined)
Re-check URLs on Failed-ReVerification URLs list
Timetables can be set on a per-project basis.
Different response codes can yield different actions.
Certain backlinks could be prioritized to test first based on many criteria.
Customizable timeouts for different link types, country codes, etc.
Prioritize or omit based on date range, link type, URL mask, country
Set very schedule for re-verify independent of check failed-re-verification scheduling.
Set up a third list called failed_reverification_X_timeframe for links that have remained dead for X time.
That can be set for a global so that all project only check their really old links very infrequently, and there are filters there as well

New GSA SER Macros for Other AI Systems like OPENAI [..,..]

Deeeeeeee — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 17:06:45 +0000

I have been testing the GSA-SER Macro OPENAI [..,..] and I am thinking I may reserve it solely for article projects. Right now I'm seeing how this is working on many types of links. OFC, that is going to be way more expensive...probably need better filters...we'll see...

@Sven, I am sure you probably don't think this on-the-fly generation is a good use of resources. At least, probably not how I am testing right now. That is...unless you're using your own AI system...then I guess on-the-fly generation is no cost, except for running your own AI machine....

Anyway, are you planning to add any other Macros for AI services? I have been playing with this lately, and I have yet to explore the other services. (I think a primer on the AI services out there might be good if anyone has a link.) But actually using them is the real test. I am using DeepSeek for solving text now. Never played with it in any other way.

But might we get more macros?

@Sven and fellow GSA forum members, I am not familiar with the different AI services out there to be the person to know which might be best to include as macro commands.

As the new AI Module Sven wrote can do a ton of stuff, I don't know the specifics yet. Can I set all the services to have API keys, or just one? If we already can load the different Services with API keys for each, then I think this is already halfway there. Any ideas on this? Thanks to anyone for reply.

Ability to pause search engines and target sites if proxy/ip banned?

googlealchemist — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 13:05:58 +0000

Mostly thinking of scraping search engines for targets, they all seem to have such different timings/threads/etc that they tolerate before banning an ip/proxy im trying to figure out.

Could there be a function if ser gets the message that I no longer have any unbanned proxies, it will automatically pause that search engine for 12 or 24+ hrs for it to reset?

Similar question for different platforms being posted to like wordpress.com or whatever other sites might ban based on ip.

Thanks

ability to add/use articles for blog/image comments and guestbooks

googlealchemist — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 16:35:09 +0000

It would be awesome to have the article tab enabled to use with these engines so I can just use the %article% or %article_summary%
macros depending on max char length vs stuffing a big spun chunk in the field.

Highlight for SER in Project Off Status Mode

Deeeeeeee — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 02:06:02 +0000

Hi, Sven and GSA professionals and hobbyists, alike. I know I've proposed some silly GSA mods in the past but I know some have also been helpful. I'd rather just be open and bring forth ideas and let those who know better decide.

I know Sven's time is valuable like gold. And we don't want to waste his time.

So what's this great idea? It really isn't. haha Really...I was Just wondering if a highlight feature in the Project pane might be cool. That's it.

Like so, when you're working on projects and all is in STOPPED Project mode, background colors can be assigned via the right-click menu and so you can easily see which you've processed, etc.

Once projects go START the background colors disappear or just take up 1/5 the current background color bar for each Active project on the L or R. ?? I have no idea.

Umm...yeah..As I preambled, I said this was not one of my best ideas literally rn.

Anyone see a good use for this at all? Could/would this help you organize, GSA forum users?

Modification of 'Automatically export verified URLs' Option

OJM321 — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 12:41:16 +0000

This is one suggestion I thought of when it comes to automatically exporting to file, the verified links of each project.

In the case someone chooses a CSV to save their verified links by clicking that checkbox in the options tab of the project. - write the same exact columns /data to it, that you get from:
right clicking a project
seeing the urls to export and doing just that (saving to CSV (normal)) for example.

so, all the exact same columns from there.

Why? At the moment, it only exports the URLs with no columns to CSV.

Maybe cool for most cases. But I have this technically complex setup using python to guage whether a link is worth indexing with mysql stuff to insert it elsewhere. I guage it by exporting the verified urls by right clicking the project, exporting the projects URLs to CSV (Normal) with all the fields where python then references specific column names. But this is all manual stuff each day.
When I searched the forum recently I found this automatically verify feature but now don't feel i can use it now unless i convert the txt to CSV which is more script work.
Anyway, maybe others have the same interest as mine, i get if this is too edge-case though!
Thanks

Ability to use title of target url as anchor text?

googlealchemist — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 17:58:36 +0000

I see there are a few macros that are close to this such as "%blog_title%

The title of the current URL you are about to submit to (everything between html tag ) is used here."

But I'd like to be able to use the title tag of the target url I am linking TO, not the url I am linking FROM.

Both for a list of urls I input manually from the very start of the project as tier 1's, but also to be able to use this function for building t2 links.
