Search Engine Scraping
These business customers have two needs for your traffic and IP address: 1) check their keyword rankings on search engines so they know if their SEO efforts are working or not and 2) ad verification to determine if their ads (or their competitor ads) are displaying properly in a certain geolocation. To do these two things at scale (thousands of keywords being scraped hourly or daily) across many of their end clients, our business customers need traffic and IP addresses to scrape effectively - and that’s where you come in!

Ecommerce Scraping
These business customers need to scrape various ecommerce websites for important metadata regarding online shopping products. For example, a seller on Amazon may want to know what price his competitor is selling the same product for on Amazon, and many other ecommerce sites. To do this at scale (thousands of products, checking hourly or daily), our business customers need traffic and IP addresses to scrape effectively - and that’s where you come in!

Social Media Scraping

One of the greatest factors is where your device is located. Certain countries will have larger earnings because many of our business customers need data from there. However, all countries are accepted and can start earning immediately. Try it out for a few days and you’ll understand your average earnings.
The number of IP addresses available to you and your devices will affect your earnings. It is not productive to setup multiple devices in the same home because every device in that home likely has the same IP address. So, to maximize your earnings, consider installing our application in various locations where the IP address is different.
Our system prioritizes customers that have faster internet speeds. However, all speeds will earn income as the IP address uniqueness is the greatest value for our end customers.
