Third Party Support

Application Hosting

Although you may run GSA SER on your home/office computer(s), it is strongly recommended that you not do so to avoid getting your ISP account terminated. Rather, it is recommended to run GSA SER on a hosting provider.

Not all hosting vendors support GSA on their systems. Make sure you ask the vendor before purchasing. Known hosting vendors that support GSA SER are:

Proxy Services

Captcha Services

A lot sites need a captcha to be filled out before you can sign up or create a link. This can be skipped, filled by yourself, by a software or by a service. It is really recommended to use GSA Captcha Breaker as first service and one of the others like DeCaptcher as backup for more complicated captchas that can not be solved by a software.

Indexing Services

Even though you can create a lot backlinks with this software, you should also care about them getting indexed by search engines. Because only known links on search engines will improve your ranking. The following services can be used in the software to send the created backlink automatically to one of the services who will take care of it. The GSA SEO Indexer is software solution where you do not have a monthly cost which should be used at first. Though it does not hurt to use some other service (costs money each month or for each URL).

Submittal Engines Services

This service is not maintained by GSA but was introduced by a customer of the product. The included web2.0 sites did change there layout and way they work too often to keep them active by the GSA team all alone. That service however is adding new engines all the time and also fixes each one of them when they change. Though you need to pay for this service as it is a very time consuming job to keep track of changes.
