Surely Scrapebox can do what BuzzSumo can do, and be better? - ocelotfella - 10-14-2015
I've been tinkering with BuzzSumo and love way it can show who is linking to the most influential content for any niche. I then grab the list of who is linking and hand it over to my VA to make contact with the key influencers to try and get them enthusiastic about linking to my own blog posts. Lovely jubbly.
But as with a lot of great services like BuzzSumo I can't help but wonder if ScrapeBox could perform the same function?
So far I've got as far as scraping blogs using my target keywords, then using the Moz PA and DA authority checker to rank the results in order of who should be approached first. Then I run the social checker as another quality metric.
But the results so far are junk, the relevance is miles off compared to BuzzSumo.
Am I missing something obvious or are my footprints just rubbish? I have used Scrapebox a fair amount but have never actually used it for scraping!
I'm selecting blogs in the platforms bit, then using the keyword suggester to rustle up a good number of keywords, then scraping. But the results aren't relevant to my niche.
I've attached a screenshot example, although I've plucked a keyword out of thin air (not my niche).
Where am I going wrong? I know this is a newbie question, but should I put something in the top box? I've tried intitle:fresh air but results still weren't relevant.

Tox box and keyword boxes are interchangeable as far as what they produce, but anything in the top box will be appended to all lines in the keyword box.
That said, I have no idea how buzz sumo works. So its hard to say, but try with a few quality keywords to start and see if that gets you what you want. Keep things small until you get the process down and then you can expand and it will be easier to figure out what step is causing the irrelevant resutls. But I would guess too many keywords that are not on target.
