Q: Where do I get Proxies for use with YellaBot?
-----
A: If you are scraping 5,000-10,000 results, you'll probably never run into any issues with the infamous "YP.com is experiencing technical difficulties" screen. But, if you do need to scrape huge(r) lists, you might consider trying a proxy software.
