Use a high-quality PC or VPS with at least 4 GB of RAM and a powerful CPU to ensure your system has enough resources to run <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/asiavirtualsolutions.com\/es\/how-to-promote-a-rss-feed-with-gsa-search-engine-ranker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"C\u00f3mo promocionar una fuente RSS con GSA Search Engine Ranker\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"19594\">GSA SER<\/a> smoothly, all other Windows functions, and all other installed software. The more powerful your CPU is, the less memory GSA will use<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>Reduce the Number of Threads<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re running multiple projects simultaneously, consider lowering the number of threads used. So instead of using, for example, 500 threads, try reducing it down to 200 threads. This can help reduce the amount of memory consumed by GSA SER.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>Use the GSA SER Auto Throttle<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Use the GSA SER Auto Throttle feature to slow down the GSA SER sending requests rate.\u00a0 This will automatically reduce the number of threads when GSA Search Engine Ranker detects that it reached 3,200 MB (the setting we set in the screenshot below). This can help to auto-reduce memory consumption when needed and prevent out-of-memory errors. From experience, we have found that a setting between 3000 and 3200 works best at preventing a GSA SER Out of Memory error. A higher setting will start reducing the treats to late, and u will get the GSA SER Out of Memory error.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-125614\" src=\"https:\/\/asiavirtualsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/GSA-Search-Engine-Ranker-Auto-Throttle.png\" alt=\"GSA Search Engine Ranker Auto Throttle\" width=\"560\" height=\"433\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asiavirtualsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/GSA-Search-Engine-Ranker-Auto-Throttle.png 560w, https:\/\/asiavirtualsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/GSA-Search-Engine-Ranker-Auto-Throttle-545x421.png 545w, https:\/\/asiavirtualsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/GSA-Search-Engine-Ranker-Auto-Throttle-300x232.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>Optimize your GSA projects.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, optimizing your projects so they consume less memory is possible. Here are a few things you can do for your projects.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>By being more selective with which platforms you use. Focus on platforms that provide do-follow and contextual links, like Article directories, <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"web 2.0\" href=\"https:\/\/asiavirtualsolutions.com\/es\/producto\/web-2-0-publicacion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">web 2.0<\/a>, document sharing, wiki, etc. Avoid platforms that provide very little or no SEO value, like exploits, trackbacks, referrers, and pingbacks.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t use the GSA Scrape function to find targets. While GSA is great at posting and creating backlinks, it is unfortunately not a great scrapper, as it is slow and uses too many resources. You are better off using external tools like Scrapebox or aParser to do the scraping and just importing the URL&#8217;s into GSA SER.<\/li>\n<li>Do not collect keywords from target sites.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t use: &#8220;Try searching with similar-looking keywords.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t use: &#8220;Use URLS linking on same verified URL.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t use: &#8220;Analyze and post to competitor&#8217;s backlinks.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_125819\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-125819\" style=\"width: 524px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-125819\" src=\"https:\/\/asiavirtualsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Do-not-use-GSA-Keyword-scraping.png\" alt=\"Do not use GSA Keyword scraping..\" width=\"524\" height=\"124\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asiavirtualsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Do-not-use-GSA-Keyword-scraping.png 524w, https:\/\/asiavirtualsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Do-not-use-GSA-Keyword-scraping-300x71.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 524px) 100vw, 524px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-125819\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Do not use GSA <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/asiavirtualsolutions.com\/es\/producto\/keyword-scraping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Raspado de palabras clave\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"19730\">Keyword scraping<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_125820\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-125820\" style=\"width: 619px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-125820 size-full\" title=\"Don&apos;t use these URL scraping in GSA SER\" src=\"https:\/\/asiavirtualsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Dont-use-these-URL-scraping-in-GSA-SER.png\" alt=\"Don&apos;t use these URL scraping in GSA SER\" width=\"619\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asiavirtualsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Dont-use-these-URL-scraping-in-GSA-SER.png 619w, https:\/\/asiavirtualsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Dont-use-these-URL-scraping-in-GSA-SER-545x293.png 545w, https:\/\/asiavirtualsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Dont-use-these-URL-scraping-in-GSA-SER-300x161.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 619px) 100vw, 619px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-125820\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Don&#8217;t use these URL scraping in GSA SER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>Stay Up To Date<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Stay up-to-date with the latest versions of GSA SER, as newer versions often include bug fixes and performance improvements that can help reduce memory consumption and prevent errors.

You can initially start with maybe ten active projects, and if the memory stays below 2.5GB, then you can gradually increase the number of active projects. Keep going until you find which number works best for your set-up. Keep monitoring the memory consumption; 2.5 &#8211; 3GB is the red zone, and you want it to be at our near 2.5 GB. An alternative would be to use the GSA scheduler to only work on a set number of projects simultaneously, but we will cover that in a separate blog post.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Check the proxy setup.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">If you are using the built-in GSA SER <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/asiavirtualsolutions.com\/es\/producto\/gsa-search-engine-ranker-custom-engines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Motores de b\u00fasqueda personalizados de GSA\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"19592\">apoderado<\/a> scraper, then you should not do what many newbies go and do, which is enable ALL the proxy sources.
