Why cross-border e-commerce keyword ranking monitoring must use proxy IP?
Sellers doing cross-border e-commerce understand that keyword ranking directly affects product exposure and order volume. However, many newbies do not know that directly using their own computer or server to check the ranking will be determined by the platform as aabnormal flow. For example, Amazon, eBay, these platforms, once the same IP address is found to search for the same type of keywords at high frequency, the light is to block the data, and the heavy is to block the account.
At this time, residential proxy IP is just what is needed - using real home network IP to simulate the search behavior of users in different regions. For example, if you want to monitor the keyword rankings of the US site and search with a residential IP in Texas, the platform will consider this to be the real user behavior in the region, and the data accuracy can be increased by more than 60%.
The Three Deadly Wounds of Choosing the Wrong Proxy IP
Many proxy service providers in the market will make users step on the pitfalls:
| Data Center IP | Easily recognized as server room traffic, triggering anti-crawl mechanisms |
| shared IP pool | Multiple reuse leads to IP contamination |
| Incomplete agreements | No support for socks5 or https protocol affects connection stability |
Last year there is a do independent station customers talk to me, he used a service provider's proxy IP to check Google keywords, the results of three days on the blocked advertising account, and then changed to theStatic residential IP for ipipgo, and monitored continuously for 3 months with no problems using specific city IPs.
The real-world advantages of ipipgo residential agents
We have found these features to be particularly useful when helping clients build surveillance systems:
1. National-city-level positioning: for example, monitoring the difference in Amazon keyword rankings between London and Manchester at the same time, which is crucial for adjusting regional promotion strategies
2. session hold function: Setting a single IP to work continuously for 2-4 hours to avoid abnormal behavior due to frequent IP changes
3. Browser Fingerprint Emulation(Need to cooperate with the anti-association tool): the same IP to switch different device parameters, fully simulate the real user scenarios
Five steps to build a monitoring system tutorial
Take the Python crawler as an example (pseudo-code to demonstrate the principle):
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'http://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:30001',
'https': 'https://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:30001'
}
response = requests.get('https://www.amazon.com/s?k=wireless+earbuds', proxies=proxies)
Key Operating Points:
1. Created in the ipipgo backendWhitelist IP BindingTo prevent account theft
2. Setting up national IP switching every 5 minutes (dynamic residential IP feature)
3. With the Header disguised as Chrome browser
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: Why is the monitored ranking different from what I actually see?
A: Ninety percent of the IP purity problem, it is recommended to open in the ipipgo backgroundIP Quality InspectionAutomatic filtering of IPs flagged by the platform
Q: What if I need to monitor multiple sites at the same time?
A: Set up multi-threading in the code, each thread calls a different country IP. ipipgo's API supports batch acquisition of residential IPs in multiple countries and ensures that the IP segments are not duplicated.
Q:How to break the frequent encounter with CAPTCHA?
A: In this case, you have to reduce the frequency of requests and at the same time turn on ipipgo'sIntelligent Rotation ModelAutomatically switch city-level IPs when CAPTCHA is detected.
put at the end
The essence of doing keyword ranking monitoring is to play with the platform algorithm. We have tested different programs with ipipgo'sStatic residential IP + city-level positioningCombined, the data collection success rate can reach more than 92%. Especially with the size of their 90 million residential IP pool, there is no need to worry about insufficient IP resources. Recently it was found that they have addedASN number filtering functionThe ability to exclude specific carrier IPs is particularly useful for resolving network compatibility issues in certain regions.
