How to set up global options for GSA Search Engine Ranker
Submissions Options

[0:32] Click the “Options” button in GSA, which will automatically load in the “Submission” options. Change the “Threads to Use” number box to 1,000 and, when presented with memory options, lower the number by 100 until you find a figure that works well with your server. If you know you’re working with a small or less powerful server, you may want to start this option at 500 and go from there.

[1:30] The “HTML timeout” option should be set to between 30 and 40 seconds as, if it takes longer than that, we would prefer GSA to continue posting to other sites rather than waiting for one slow-loading location.

[2:25] Select the “Use Proxies” checkbox then click “Configure” to verify your previously-added proxies are still in place. Select the “Search Engines” checkbox followed by the “Private” checkbox. Deselect the “Public” checkbox. Select “Custom time to wait between search queries” and set the number box to between 25 and 30.

[3:45] Select the “Submission” checkbox as well as its corresponding “Private” checkbox. Select “Skip for identification”.

[4:06] Select “Verification” and “E-Mail checking” and their corresponding “Private” checkboxes. Ensure “Public” is not checked for any of the proxies on the Submissions section.

 
Captcha Options

[4:53] Click “Add” and choose “GSA Captcha Breaker” (It’s the first option on the dropdown list).

[5:10] Leave “Retry” at zero.

[5:45] Deselect “Finally ask user if everything else fails (else the submission is skipped)

 
Indexing Options

[6:10 - 8:05] I don’t use indexing whatsoever as it feels even more unnatural than the GSA method already uses. Deselect every marked checkbox on this window.

 
Filter Options

[8:13 - 10:00] Similar to other options discussed previously, filtering can waste time. This will be a judgment call on your part, however, I uncheck everything on this window. Also, set the number for “Maximum size of a website to download” at 4 to 6.

 
Advanced Options

[10:15 - 12:28] Regarding the advanced options, view the video on discussion why I choose the settings shown in this image:
