Once proxy servers are added, you have two options to choose from in assigning them, and your direct connection, the actions you want to be performed:
-
Ranking. Proxy servers and / or Direct connection that have the Ranking check box selected will be used by the application, during your projects updates, to retrieve ranking data. If one of the proxies added is Big - G Stealth Extractor, then this connection will be used only to query the Google search engine. Other proxies and the direct connection that have the Rankings option selected can query any search engine added in your project, to retrieve rankings.

Important The Big - G Stealth Extractor is developed by Trusted Proxies and approaches a parallel proxy servers system. It is especially optimized for Google, being able to send up to 600 queries per minute to this search engine.
The Big - G structure allows querying Google without the "Search engine friendly" mode, which is automatically turned off by the application only for the connection that uses this type of proxy.
-
Others. Proxy server / or Direct connection that has the Others radio button selected will be used by the application, during your projects updates, to retrieve Page Rank information, analytics and links data, and also to connect to the Advanced Web Ranking website for new search engine updates.
One proxy server or direct connection can have both the Ranking and Others options selected. In this case, the connection in question will retrieve both rankings and other types of information.
The Big - G Stealth Extractor can be used only to gather ranking data from the Google search engines. The Others option is not enabled for this connection.

The Ranking check box is available only in the Enterprise edition, which allows multiple proxies being used to query search engines at the same time. In the Professional and Standard editions, the Ranking option is implemented as a radio button, and only one proxy or the direct connection can be used per project update. |
