Asia Virtual Solutions Link List: A GSA Forum Question, Answered

A user called Obvidus asked some fair questions about our link list on the GSA Search Engine Ranker forum. Rather than write a long reply that could easily be dismissed as marketing fluff, I recorded a live, unedited video showing exactly how the list is built, sorted and updated.

This post is that answer, written out. If you would rather just watch, skip to the video below.

The question in the forum about the Asia Virtual Solutions Link List

• Is the Asia Virtual Solutions link list updated?
• Do you get any contextual links in the GSA SER link list?
• The list says it is updated every hour. How satisfied are you with that?

All fair questions. Instead of writing a long response that could be just a bunch of fluff, the honest and transparent way to answer was to make a live video and show the list, how we generate it, how we sort it, and how it reaches GSA SER users in real time through a shared drive.

This walkthrough shows the live, unedited process of how the link list is kept up to date. It is a direct response to Obvidus’s question, and it is easier to follow than any written description.

Continuous Link List Updates for Maximum Relevance

We are constantly scraping the web for new sites to add to the list. The tools we use for scraping and sorting include, but are not limited to:

• A-Parser
• Hrefer
• GScraper
• Scrapebox
• GSA Search Engine Ranker
• GSA Platform Identifier

Those sites are then sorted into categories so they are easy to use inside GSA SER. The sorting is the part that takes the work, and it is the reason you can pick out contextual targets rather than taking the list as one undifferentiated pile.

Link List Statistics

These are the real totals from our own counter, which runs daily against the live list files and updates this page automatically:

Figures as of 04 October 2026. Duplicate URLs and duplicate domains removed.

A note on those numbers, because an older version of this post quoted a higher identified figure. The raw count came down after we started deduplicating the list properly. A smaller list of unique, sorted URLs is worth more to you than a bigger number padded with duplicates, and it is the honest figure to publish.

We have deliberately removed the percentage claims that used to sit in this section. They were not measured, and we would rather show you the counter than quote a statistic we cannot back up.

Asia Virtual Solutions Link List Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Asia Virtual Solutions Link List?

It is a large collection of scraped, identified and verified URLs, sorted by platform and engine, for use with automated link-building software such as GSA Search Engine Ranker. The sorting is what makes it usable: you can select contextual article platforms and leave the rest out.

How can the link list be used effectively?

Import it into GSA SER and select only the platform types that suit the tier you are building. Use contextual targets close to your money site and keep the higher-volume platforms deeper in your tier structure. Vary your anchor text and build at a steady pace rather than in spikes.

How often is the link list updated?

The identified list is added to continuously and mirrored to members through a shared drive, so what you pull is current. The verified lists are rechecked and rebuilt monthly, because verification takes time and re-running it constantly would not make the results any better.

Can the link list be used for all types of websites?

Yes, it is not niche-specific. That said, you should filter it. Select the platforms and categories that fit your campaign rather than firing the whole list at one target, which is the most common way people get poor results from a good list.

Can the list be customised for specific SEO needs?

Yes. The list is broken down across hundreds of platform types, so you can build your own subsets: contextual only, a particular engine group, or whatever your tier structure calls for. Most serious users end up running several filtered subsets rather than one big list.

What is the difference between the identified and verified lists?

Identified means the platform behind the URL has been recognised. Verified means a link was actually placed and confirmed there. Identified is far larger and is useful for discovery and lower tiers; verified is smaller and is what you want closer to your money site.

Asia Virtual Solutions Link List How To

How to integrate the link list into your SEO strategy

1. Decide which tier you are feeding before you import anything.
2. Select the platform categories that match that tier — contextual article types for Tier 1, wider platform mixes further down.
3. Set your anchor text groups so the mix stays natural.
4. Schedule submissions to build steadily rather than in a spike.
5. Re-sync with the list regularly so you are working from current targets.

Our 2026 tiered workflow guide covers how the tiers fit together in detail.

How to filter and select the best URLs for your site

1. Start from the sorted categories rather than the raw file.
2. Use GSA SER’s own project filters — language, country, outbound link count, keyword exclusions.
3. Prioritise contextual platforms for anything pointing near your money site.
4. Keep your own verified subset as you go, and prune what stops working.

There is also a case for not relying on a verified list alone, which is worth reading before you commit to one approach.

How to keep your link building efficient

• Check the plumbing first. Proxies, captcha solving and email accounts quietly cap most campaigns before the list ever does.
• Re-verify after a few weeks. Verified at submission is not the same as still alive later.
• Keep a log of which platform types actually survive for you, and weight future runs toward those.
• Judge results on surviving contextual placements, not on links per minute.
