How to Use Proxy Servers in Backlink Diver

Backlink Diver uses proxy servers only for checking the pages with your links for Google PageRank and index. It does not use proxy servers to search the pages for your backlinks.

How to Find Proxy Servers

To find proxy servers, you can use Google and search the Internet for these terms:

"proxy list"
"proxy server list"
"anonymous proxy list"
"anonymous proxies"

You'll get numerous pages with proxy lists.

To get more proxy lists, open any page found for your search terms and copy any proxy IP:port, for example

210.212.152.4:80

Enter 210.212.152.4:80 in Google and click Search.

You'll get even more pages with proxy servers lists.

Before you can use proxy servers in Backlink Diver, you need to test if the proxy servers are working, anonymous and can be used to check the pages with your links for Google PageRank and Index.

How to Test Proxy Servers

To test proxy servers, follow the steps below:
 

Step 1. Add and Test Environment scripts

You'll need environment scripts to check proxy servers for anonymity.

See this tutorial how to find and test environment scripts
 

Step 2. Create New List

Click on "Proxy Manager" button on the Backlink per toolbar.

A new list will be created under Proxy Lists at the left pane.

To rename the list, click the right mouse button on the list name and select "Rename List" from the menu.

Type a new list name.

Now you can load proxy servers into the list.
 

Step 3. Load Proxy Servers

To get proxy servers into the list, you have the following options:

1. Paste Proxy Servers from Clipboard

Copy proxy servers from a web page.

Click the right mouse button at the right panel in the Proxy Manager.

Select Paste from the menu.

2. Load Proxy Servers from File

If you have proxy servers saved in a text file, use the "Load List" option on the Proxy Manager toolbar.

Proxy servers must be saved to a file in this format:

IP:Port

or

IP:Port:Username:Password

3. Add Proxy Servers Manually

Type the proxy server IP and port number [IP:Port] and click "Add".

If the proxy server requires the username and password, provide the username and password too.

After you loaded proxy servers into the list, you can verify them for anonymity and for possibility to use for checking Google PageRank and index.
 

Step 4. Verify Proxy List

Before you start verifying proxy servers, adjust the Threads and Timeout on the Proxy Manager toolbar.

It' s recommended that you enter as many Threads as many environment scripts you use. For example, if you have 20 environment scripts, set 20 Threads in the Proxy Manager.

You can leave the Timeout by default.

Set Threads for checking proxy servers
 
Select All from the "Verify" button menu to check all proxy servers on the list.

After the verification is complete, the results will be displayed on the screen:
 
Proxy IP – proxy server IP address
 
Port – proxy server port number
 
User name – proxy server user name [if required]
 
Password – proxy server password [if required]
 
Country – country the proxy server is from
 
Google Search – if YES, the proxy server can be used to check the page for Google index
 
Google PR – if YES, the proxy server can be used to check the page for Google PageRank
 
Anonymous – if YES, the proxy server is truly anonymous and you will remain anonymous when checking the pages with your links for Google PageRank and index
 
Status – if OK, the proxy server is working; if BAD, the proxy server is not working
 
Verify Date – date when the proxy server was last checked
 
To delete bad proxy servers from the list, click on "Delete Bad" button on the toolbar.

By default the program uses only good proxy servers to check the pages for Google PageRank and index. If you have bad proxies on the list, you can re-check your list later and there is chance that some of bad proxies will be good.

To check the pages for Google PageRank, Backlink Diver will use proxy servers with YES in the Google PR column.
 
To check the pages for Google index, Backlink Diver will use proxy servers with YES in the Google Search column.

To save the proxy servers list and exit the Proxy Manager, click on X at the top right corner of the window.
 
Now you can use good proxy servers to check the pages with your backlinks for Google PageRank and index.
