Anyone Used ScrapeBox or SEONukeX Before?

[MyNet]

I have been looking at trying out Scrapebox or SEONukex for a while, but don't want to wast my money.  Has anyone tried them out with positive success?  I am not looking for an automated submission platform necessarily.  I am simply looking for a platform to tell me which sites are relevant to mine, dofollow, etc.  That is what I would be using them for.

I loaded it on my computer and it looked like it was hard to use, at best. After educating myself more about what SEO really is, I decided against actually using it. IMO it may have been good at one time, but I think the search engines are getting wise to this kind of thing. It looks like a really good way to get sandboxed to me.

Check out this thread from earlier this month, where someone was evaluating SENuke and decided against it. You can read his experience and the opinion of other people as well. Generally, it was not a positive opinion.

Key Keri,

Thanks for the link, was a good read. Funny thing, once I figured out how SENuke spins articles, I started to notice them. Several times I have found myself reading an article and think to myself that I would really enjoy reading the original version of that article. Frankly, I can't stand spun articles and hopefully people and search engines can learn the difference between an original article and a spun one. I really can't stand spun articles and think anyone doing it should be penalized.

Having said that, if I can read a spun article, and I probably have,  and I don't notice. Good enough for me.

I would also expect the search engines to be a little more aggressive about spun articles than they are about paid links. Your competitor is much less likely to spin articles on your behalf than they are to build crappy links for you.

Yes, thank you for that information.  I was not wanting to use scrapebox as a means to auto-generate links.  I am only needing something to help me in the discovery process of finding sites to get links from.

Scrapebox is an excellent tool for blog and forum discovery. SENukeX doesn't really help at all in that department and is really only a decent tool if you find creative ways to use it like building your own blog networks.
