No not at all; everything is locally hosted on your machine; there is no bottle necks outside of that.

Ok. Thanks for your rapid response

I thought a lot about this and I have another question. Is it possible to automate blogsense, so that no interference install and run campaigns? Of course, semi-automatic method is also useful.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly?

OK. I will try to explain it better. I have multiple domains (for each of 20 sub-domains). Everywhere, of course, installed wordpress. My question is, How can I as soon as possible to fill each page of a thousand posts.

Ah ok I see; yeah BlogSense will not be good at this; as it is precision tool; This is more along the lines of WP Mage.

I was just on their webside and I must say that your price is more like me

Is there any discount available and can you show me a demo site.
What is different between wpmage and blogsense?
Thanks

I would like to buy blogsense. I pay $ 26 and I'm happy for a month. Is after this month and not paying for the next month you block a license or do I manually unsubscribe?

edit: Is this offer for BHW members still relevant? (20 $ / month)

Hello, the 20/month still applies for BHW. If you want to upgrade to an unlimited license please cancel your current subscription through paypal and re-signup using the BHW discount link.

The payment system should recognize you as an customer and give you your old license back as an unlimited license. If you get a license different from the one you have been using please contact me so I can delete that one and re-activate your old one as a unlimited license manually.

For those of you looking for discount prices please visit the original thread and look at my signature; discount links are there.

WP Mage is for rapid autoblog building and BlogSense is for precision and quality autoblog building. The price difference is also 800.00 I believe.

Do I have activated the credit card in paypal?

edit: Is the license expires after a month or charge my credit card and I can use blogsensa next month? If charged, when and how I should let you know that I want to cancel the next month?

If you are a member with a monthly subscription the charge will occur every month on the date of joining. If you ever want to upgrade to a unlimited license you can do this at any time; just PM me for help; but you can do this by canceling your monthly license at any time and then re-purchasing a full license through a purchase link.

Whats new in BlogSense 7.6.9.5

The latest developments with BlogSenseWp automation suite.


RANDOM POST TIMES


If the setting to randomize post times is toggled on (it’s off by default), then BlogSense will check for two parameters also defined in your settings; a minimum hour and a maximum hour. These numbers are based between 1 and 24 and represent the hours of the day. For each post, BlogSense will choose a random hour between our parameters for timestamp generation. Pretty simple eh?

ADVANCED REMOTE PUBLISHING API


This is a work in progress, but is designed for potential integration with other scripts and services. I’ve already made two videos discussing the API and one of it’s potential uses with the Google Reader App.

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQbgWIBP9nU (Part I)
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Txv0ug6h8o (Part II)

DEFINE POST STATUS BEFORE PUBLISHING

Many users have been requesting the ability to publish into draft mode or private mode or pending review mode. We've added in the ability to set this setting on each campaign.


COMBINE & MIX RSS FEEDS

This is one of those that personally I never found a user for but many of my users request due to an idea they have going. It's a cool feature and was fun to create... and does a damn good job.

How this works:

• Can create a single RSS feed out of multiple RSS feeds.
• Ability to sort by publish date ascending or descending.
• Ability to mix all items at random.
• This has been added as a tool to the RSS Tools Section.

RETAIN ORIGINAL DATES AND AUTHOR FOR RSS MODULE

Some users made case that unlike Autoblogged, BlogSense was not able to retain the original date of an article or the original author. So to eliminate this weakness these options have been added in.

can you please tell me what is the current discounted price for one time purchase?

I really like the idea of making the blogs more profitable.

Originally Posted by ilogical

The December BlogSense prices are:

20.00 - Single domain license.
15.00/mo - unlimited license subscription.
95.00 - December Unlimited License Special

This is an awesome product, in case anyone has not tried it - and the support is superb. I've had customizations written for me (in record time) as well as a ton of help ensuring I have it running properly.

I would not normally expect such good support, to be honest - especially for some of the dumber questions I have posed.

Thanks to adbox for the product!! This is my favorite tool at the moment.

Recently Added....

Advanced Post Template Editing

In order to make BlogSense’s templating system state of the art we now have the ability to edit some of the hard-coded templates within BlogSense. Here are the templates you can now edit to your liking:

1. Amazon Review Token Template
2. Amazon Widget Token Template
3. Flickr Token Template
4. (NEW) RSS Token Template
5. Default post templates for Amazon module & Video module.

Two New Tokens: [RSS] Token and [INSERT] Token

By request, we now have a token that will allow us to select a random item from an RSS feed and mash-it into our content.

The [insert] token will allow us to inject content into our posts in three ways, yes spyntax is supported. Just enclose spyntax in [spyntax][/spyntax] blocks.

1. [insert:middle]content here[/insert] – Inserts content into middle of post.
2. [insert:3p]content here[/insert] – Inserts content after the 3rd discovered </p> code.
3. [insert::1000]content here[/insert] – Inserts content after the 1000th character.

Drop Posting

Can now create campaigns in drop posting mode… but these campaigns cannot be automated. Campaigns are allowed to be stored for the sake of saving campaign settings for re-use.


Copy Campaigns


Now there is a button that lets us create duplicates of campaigns on the fly. Disable & Limit Comments

For the Sources, Youtube, Amazon and Yahoo Answers campaigns we now have the ability to limit the number of comments to publish or disable comments all together.

Proxy Support

Proxy support is fully active now. We have the ability to enable proxies for campaigns and/or bookmarking. We are also directly integrated with Proxy Bonanza.

The Best Spinner API

We now have the option to use The Best Spinner API for spinning content instead of the default BlogSense spinner. You must be an owner of The Best Spinner to use this service and usage is limited to 250 queries per day per account.

Bookmarking Section Improvements

We dropped Onlywire support. We added the option to post to ALL twitter accounts or to post to accounts at random. Each campaign still has option to enable or disable bookmarking for individual services for that campaign. Bookmarking also has it’s own section now and the log display service has been improved for better tracking. PingFM is still down unless you can hijack an API key from another pre-approved software…


Five Filters

For those of you who do not know what this is, it is a RSS tool that turns partial content into full content, and is used an alternative to scraping RSS full content from partial content feeds. In this update we increased the RSS limit to generate a max of 25 posts per feed (instead of the 10 item limit).

Link Cloaking

Added option to treat spiders like humans rather than redirect them to other parts of your blog.

——-

Alright Guys, that’s it for now. I’m going to make a round of improvements on WP Traffic Tools (http://www.wptraffictools) to get it ready for public release. Please take note that there may be a couple of undiscovered bugs here and there in this release. It might be prudent to wait a week before you update. For my power users please update asap so we can prove the stability of this release!

Here we go.

The one feature I needed:

Added two new token variables %image_1% and %image_2%, which will search the %postbody% token and return the first and second SRC URL’s found. I needed it because I use creating excerpts out of full content and wanted to grab and use the first image before it was stripped out by the excerpt creation shortcode.

I also made the excerpt creation shortcode ignore <p> and <br> tags when stripping html so we have some line breaks in our generated excerpts

More Advanced Auto Categorization:

We now have the ability to make customer autocategorization filters based on keywords… saying that if we find this keyword we will put it in that category.

Remote Publishing in Campaigns

Did you know BlogSense had a Remote Publishing API? Well it does, and it’s there to replace WordPress’s default Remote Publishing API. It can be used integrations with other softwares and php scripts too.

Well for our situation, we now can use BlogSense to automatically post campaign items to other BlogSense installations through the BlogSense API. Just add API URLS to a blogsense campaign and whenever that campaign runs it will also publish to your remote blogs. You can use this feature to send content to a remote blog and even spin the content before it publishes on the remote blog.

Anyway, this is for the more advanced venturesome type, and is lightly documented… but if you need it, it’s there and not too hard to figure out.

Added by request.

Got something good to say about BlogSense?
Here’s the thread that list the areas people are wanting reviews, and your help would be greatly appreciated. http://www.hatnohat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1414

Until next time,

Hello BHW,


Good to talk to you again. BlogSense focuses on automation over autoblogging. Keith Baxter of Affiliate Radio calls it the curation model. Mike Johnson of the Autoblog Blueprint calls it, “not autoblogging, but blogging on auto.”


These references point out that automation, accompanied with moderation, can be used to create authority blogs that gain readership, mature in value, and will stand the tests of time.


This also is where BlogSense shines as a tool, and continuously gets better, making it the authority utility for quality control management.
In this latest release we’ve gained a feature that is extremely valuable to this concept, and I believe most everyone here will find it easy to incorporate it’s application into your blogging models asap.


What is it? It’s simple. Email moderation of drafted posts. It’s much easier than using Google Reader for moderation using the BlogSense API. It’s easier than having to use WordPress’s Post section to moderate drafted post. This module should allow new flexibility to your blogging models, allowing you to mix quality control with speedy execution.
Here’s a video demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66nSb2cbhs8
Take care and until next time,
Hudson Atwell

************************************************** ******

There have been a handful of updates this week that until now I’ve not made any public announcements about. Most of them have been small bug fixes here and there that probably would go unnoticed because of their locations, and the others have been user requested improvements or something imagined up.

Here’s what we have:

• We now can generate RSS feeds of a campaign’s published items. Just click the RSS button and a feed will be generated containing the last 50 published items. RSS feeds are handy and they will continue to become an preferred standard for porting data around, so this feature might pay off for you in some way.
• We’ve added a new away to setup auto-categorization. Until now we’ve only been able to setup keyword filters by adding them manually one at a time. Now we can use a pasrable textarea to do the same. This parsable textarea will allow quicker setup for blogs with lots of keywords and lots of categories. We can also still do it the other way as well.
• We improved the site backup/restore feature to be more flexible/compatible with multisite installations.
• Handfull of bug fixes for those that needed them, including some plugin conflict resolutions.

Picture-show-below!

Hello BlogSense,


It seems BlogSense has been winning attention lately as this is the second week in a row that significant improvements have been placed into the core system. Let’s take a look.

LETS START WITH THE USER BASED REQUESTS

• Draft Email Notifications now display designated categories for better transparency.
• File Import / CSV module has now been included into the automation configurations of BlogSense. Before we could only use Direct Import mode to manually publish dropped articles. Now we’ve made it easier for those who want to skip this step and worry about maintaining their payloads from the file-storage side of things.
• FileImport/CSV module now has a brand new feature called ‘Update Old Posts’. This feature if toggled on will effectively overwrite already published if the title is detected already in the database. This is good for refreshing deals and such associated with CSV files. If the title is not detected then BlogSense will still create a new post. Consider this feature in beta.

THIS IS A FEATURE REQUEST, BUT NEEDS TO BE LISTED SEPARATELY

• Did you know that BlogSense’s internal spinner is about as good as TBS? There is no quota with BlogSense’s internal spinner either. IN this latest update we’ve added a new setting to it that will allow you to set ‘ignore phrases’ to omit from spinning. I tried to add this to the TBS api but it seems their api does not accept exclude words.
• I’ve restructured internal spinning to use less resources for faster performance. You may not be able to tell the difference, but your hosting machine most likely will.

OTHER IMAGINATIVE FEATURES

• I’ve got nothing : P. Some readers might have some feature requests on the table and I’d like to say that I am considering them, and we’ll see what time brings to the table.

HNH Development Surprises
http://www.blogsense-wp.com/news/blo...vments-inside/

Holy cow, It's been a while since I looked at blog sense since I've been out of the IM game for about a year but now that I'm back in the game hot and heavy again I took a look at blogsense again. I was one of the very first adopters of the plug-in back in 2009 and man has it improved a bunch. It has every feature I could ever think of needing and then some! Thebestspinner API integration is awesome and so far seems to be working great. Hudson, You've done a great job buddy! I'm excited to be playing with Blogsense again! it's going to make my job a lot easier now!

-K-

Yes this is an awesome script he has made. Few things to consider is the price is good for any newbie to startup. Server resources are much lower compared to some wp plugins. Support is there plus regular updates and he takes requests and tries to do them if its feasible.

Here’s what’s new inside BlogSense 9:


GLOBAL EDITING (editing en masse)


Are you looking to edit many campaigns at once but are loathing to open 25+ campaigns one by one? We now have a very precise global editing section where we can pinpoint campaigns and make modifications on individual settings. I’ve already had the opportunity to put this feature to use on a handful of my blogs. It’s really handy.
Credit for this one goes out to Terrence (PubDirLtd), who keeps the pressure on, fighting and lobbying in the name of BlogSense’s improvement.




DRAFT NOTIFICATION IMPROVEMENT (KEYWORD DENSITY REPORTS)
We’ve made it so that if draft notifications are turned on, that setting a post into the ‘pending review’ status will trigger an email report as well.
We’ve also added an automated keyword density report to the end of each draft notification, displaying the 3 word phrases, 2 word phrases, and single word occurrences and listing their # of occurrences and density.
Special thanks to Ralf (Ralf Skirr) who put down the request for this feature and explained how it might be beneficial to users who are filtering content for SEO quality, and also explaining how this will help in detecting the potent keywords for possible title restructuring and future SEO promotion.




CAMPAIGN AUTHOR SETTINGS
[RSS campaigns] – We have a new author option. We can select ‘Original Author – Domain name’ to include a ‘ – domain.com’ after there detected author’s name… ‘domain.com’ will be replace with the domain of whatever source the campaign is pulling content from.
[All campaigns] – We have have the option to select ‘Random Author’, which will randomly select an author id from the authors in the WordPress database.


RSS COMMENT SCRAPING
Here’s a bone for you. RSS comment scraping. This new feature can definitely make a grey area even greyer. Never-the-less this feature has it’s proper place within BlogSense. Please use responsibly…. Scrape parameters are setup manually. Preview mode will show you’re success.



BLOGSENSE CORE TEMPLATES & SHORTCODES

• Added ability to modify the Youtube object-embed template. This will help control the width and height of video renders.
• Redesigned the interface of the template editing section. Changed name from ‘Post Templates’ to ‘Core Templates’. It’s very easy to navigate and edit templates now. Now our templateing system truly is state of the art.
• By request, added the ability to have exclude keywords in theYoutube shortcode. This will help prevent sourcing of unwanted videos.

LASTLY

• For the RSS module, added a filter to prevent posting content when the content link is found to be the same blog as the BlogSense installation. I noticed that on some of my sites where I use Google Alerts, my indexed content for that blog was being included in the alert and a cycle of duplicate content was ensuing. This fix takes care of this potential issue.
• Removed the link cloaking features of BlogSense. I recommend using WP Traffic Tools to cloak your links. It permits on/off toggling where BlogSense’s cloaked links were permanent…. which in my opinion is not good. This loss will not affect your already cloaked links, but BlogSense will no longer cloak links internally.

I hope you find some joy in this latest release.

Now for the picture show! (Enable remote content to view)


















http://www.blogsense-wp.com/news/blo...etails-inside/

Hello BHW,

Today’s release is very important. It significantly furthers BlogSense’s power as a remote publishing tool for both status updates and remote blog posting.

For the longest time BlogSense, like many other WordPress plugins, has struggled with incorporating mass bookmarking services such as Ping.FM and HelloTxt because of their tightness on providing API keys to software developers. Finally we’ve found a potent replacement (Pixelpipe) that will allow us to further expand our automation efforts beyond Twitter.

Before I write a blog post, let me go over the powerful improvements now available to BlogSense users.

INTERNAL SPINNING

We now have a couple of extra spinning options that include this option ‘Salt with ASCII’. It turns out that letters can be converted to HTML ASCII that looks something like this: ‘hi ‘, which Google and web browsers read as ‘hi’, and at the same time consider it a unique rendering of content. We’ve added this option for those who would like to experiment with it’s extra uniqifying quality.

PIXEL PIPE – REMOTE PUBLISHING

We can use pixel pipe to remote publish to web2.0 properties such as blogger. The downfall of this module, currently, is that we must use email to send the content, and PixelPipe does not support html emails. Pixelpipe, in this case, is better used for status-update type bookmarking.

PIXEL PIPE – BOOKMARKING & STATUS UPDATES

In addition to Twitter, we can now use PixelPipe as a bookmarking source. Like remote publishing, we use email to send the status updates to a special pixelpipe email address. This works very well as the title & a link to the original content is sent to all the designated sources. Within BlogSense, we can add as many pixelpipe accounts as we want, and route content to specific pipes by using routing tags. We can also now select which accounts we want associated with our campaigns by selecting and deselecting them inside the campaign editing section.




Available PixelPipe Services

TWITTER – BOOKMARKING IMPROVEMENTS

Like we mentioned above, we can now select which Twitter account we want associated with an account, as well as create custom hashtags for each account within a campaign. This further opens up our Bookmarking module to more campaign-based quality control practices.

REMOTE PUBLISHING – EMAIL OUT

We now have the capability to export campaign content to an email address. It’s as simple as this. If you are interested, watch this video demonstrating how I use this feature with Google Groups.

INFORMATIONAL PIECE ON HOW TO BEGIN A BLOG NETWORK USING BLOGSENSE’S REMOTE PUBLISHING API

Due to popular request, I’ve attempted to make a two-part video documentation set on how to remote publish to other BlogSense blogs; aka how to have a master hub and autoblog to many other BlogSense blogs.

Setting Up Your Own Link Network with BlogSense
Part I - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HYgt_aa67o
Part II - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKdAn_hw4CA

It’s also should be announced that BlogSense no longer supports lifetime licenses. We rather provide 10.00 / mo. licenses and 95.00 / yr. licenses. We also still support single-blog licenses for $20.00ea.


More about Remote Publishing with BlogSense

Some major improvements included inside. I’m short on time so I’ll try to run over the improvements quickly.


MANAGE INTERNAL SPIN DATABASE


We can now edit our spin database which will allow for overall personalization and quality control improvements. These features can be found at BlogSense->Toolbox->Miscellaneous Tools->Manage Internal Spin Database

1. Edit/Add/Remove phrases to phrase sets.
2. Add new phrase sets.
3. Export entire spin database in xml format.
4. Import entire spin database in xml format.

IMPROVED BACKUP SYSTEM
In addition to entire site cloning we can now backup and import BlogSense campaigns. This will help speed things along when transferring the campaigns of a test site to a live









API ACCESS TO THE SPIN DATABASE
We can now use a script to send content to the BlogSense to have it spun and returned ( just like the TBS api). But in addition we can also access this script manually and use it to paste&spin content on the fly. More information here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ62ObMFEHc


IMPROVEMENTS TO THE REMOTE PUBLISHING API
The BlogSense remote publishing API now accepts the following parameters:

• post_type
• cat_id (now accepts a slug as well as an id, and if the remote blog detects that there is no category for the slug indicated it will attempt to auto-create it).

REMOTE PUBLISHING URL REPORT
If you are using BlogSense API’s to publish to remote BlogSense sites, we now keep logs of the remote pages created through these APIs. This is to help those who are using BlogSense to create a remote publishing network to keep track of their backlink. This feature can be found at: BlogSense->Toolbox->Miscellaneous Tools-> Access Remote Publishing Logs



DRAFTED POSTS AND BOOKMARKING
Until now it has gone unnoticed that posts set into ‘draft’ or ‘pending_review’ mode were being exempted from any bookmarking. This has been corrected.



CONTROLLING THE POST TYPE

Our automation/autoblogging platform can now control the post_type of campaigns, setting them to posts, pages, or any other custom post_type available.





BLOGSENSE NOW SUPPORTS XML/RPC REMOTE PUBLISHING

Just what the title suggests. We can now use the XML/RPC remote publishing protocol to export content to remote CMSs.





ALRIGHT! THAT’S ALL IN THIS RELEASE!

I’ve a couple of more major things I would like to do including designing and implementing a keyword-list based module similar to the designs of WP Robot and WPTB. For a long time we have focused on RSS and custom sources and bookmarking, which cover a wide array of applications, but it’s about time to take a shot at a keyword based module. We’ll see how it goes.


For those of you who aren’t WP Traffic Tool users yet check it out at (http://www.wptraffictools.com).

http://www.blogsense-wp.com/news/blo...spin-api-more/

Is there a fix price for unlimited sites? Is the 95$ price one time or recurring?

Heya,

Yeah the 95 is a yearly rate, or 10 monthly, or we can one time buy if we are sure that it's somethng we'll be using for a long time out. Each increase is designed to save more money.

http://www.blogsense-wp.com/get_bhw.php

Do you have like a trial period? I understand it's a bit of a learning curve compared to WP robot which is fine by me but I want to see how BIG of a curve that is.

For 10bucks a mth and asking for a trial? the scripts he provide does require some learning curve. It is easy to get the hang of it plus he has videos on youtube....

Attention BlogSense!

For the longest time the difference between BlogSense and other commercial available automation programs has been that the other’s were powered by keyword lists, where as BlogSense focused on everything else in the world of automation but this (I originally didn’t want to re-invent the wheel and risk appearing as a WP Robot copy cat).

But as I’ve grown as a marketer I’ve seen the value in having such an option and have seen how it can help quickly generate and target content at the same time.

BlogSense now has a keyword list powered automation module making BlogSense the most comprehensive autoblogger on the internet to date.

There is a catch though; rather a weakness. BlogSense is still not a strong provider of content generation shortcodes. We have a couple, but not many. Because of this I recommend using other software’s shortcodes, such as WP Robot’s or WP Mage’s should help perfect any shortcomings inherent in BlogSense to make BlogSense to perfect automation system.

Here is a video introduction to the latest addition:

Guys, BlogSense is nearing perfection thanks to the help of it’s users+ advisers.


If you have ever been dissatisfied with BlogSense maybe these newest updates will entice you back. We’re not completely done yet though. There is still some minor improvements that are in store, and I’ll try to get some more shortcodes in too. But from here on out I’ll be working on improving WP Traffic Tools and also starting on another project I’m hoping to have released sometime this winter.


Thank you for being a customer, hope you enjoy.

Anyone using this these days? I am trying to decide between this and WPRobot.

Thanks!

Heya, just did an update today, still doing customer service so people are still using it. I'm using it in most all my projects too.

Were there any example sites I could see?

Hey Guys, It's been a while since my latest post but BlogSense is still very active and it still respected as a state of the art curation and automation software for Wordpress. Let's take a look at some of the latest updates:

PULL CONTENT FROM ANY SOURCE USING SHORTCODE & KEYWORDS

I’ve finally added in a new shortcode that will allow BlogSense to attempt to find and source content from any site using a shortcode + keyword combination.
The shortcode looks like this:

{customsource:http://www.amazines.com:%keyword%<div><p><span><font><br><ul><ol><li><b><strong><i> <u><table><img><a>}

and the parameters can be defined as so:
p1: Defines the shortcode
p2: Defines URL to pool results from.
p3: Defines the keyword to search the url for results.
p4: Limits how many content items are returned from source.
p5: Defines the HTML tags to preserve.

NEW SHORTCODE - [IFNOIMAGE][/IFNOIMAGE] - ALSO, EXTRA BROKEN IMAGE DEDECTIONS ADDED

We’ve done a quick update that adds the following:
Broken image detection

In past circumstances, whenever we would use image generation shortcodes within our content postbody sometimes no image would be generated and this would cause a broken image to be left. Until now we’ve had to circumvent this issue by using 3rd party broken image detection plugins, and luckily it happened so rarely that it was not too big of an issue.
To better perfect our systems we now check for these broken images and remove them before publishing. You may have also noticed that now 3rd party plugin shortcodes are previewable within BlogSense’s preview mode.

If no image is detected then…

We also now have a shortcode called [ifnoimage][/ifnoimage] that, if used, checks the postbody to see if any images are present and if they are not then whatever is enclosed within the shortcode is included within the postbody template. This will help ensure our content has images when the syndicated content does not naturally contain any.
Here’s an example bit of code that demonstrates how we might use this shortcode:
[IFNOIMAGE]{googleimg:%title_filtered%275px:300px:first}[/IFNOIMAGE]
%postbody%

CREATE CATEGORIES FROM KEYWORDS LIST

We’ve two new features added into BlogSense along with some inner code improvements. We’ve added the ability to use a keyword list to create WordPress categories. This used to be a BlogSense feature until it was discontinued about a year ago. Good to have it back!
The other feature is the ability to enable/disable the automatic tagging system on a campaign level. Before we had a singular global setting to manage our auto-tagging strategies. Now we can better control tag behavior.
What can we do with autotagging?

• Disable auto-tagging entirely.
• Use Yahoo Terms Extraction to create tags from the post content.
• Use parts of the title as tags.
• Use tags already found within the WordPress database, selected at random.
• Use a custom tag list pasted into a textarea.
• Control the amount of tags to use for each post.

We can also use CSV tokens to create tags for our CSV Importing module.

BLOGSENSEWP SWITCHES FROM GOOGLE TRANSLATE API TO BING TRANSLATE API

BlogSense supports Bing Translation API!

Hello!
Over the last month, anyone working with the translation features of BlogSense may have noticed that campaigns were halted because of the inability to translate content.
The news related to this phenomenon is that Google has disabled their free API based translation service in favor for a paid translation service.
It is our intention to eventually offer the option to either use Bing’s free service or Google’s paid service, but for now we have introduced Bing’s API based service to restore translation features back to BlogSense users.
Which service is better? I have no clue and have done zero case studies. One would think that because of weath & pride, Google would produce a superior translation service, but hey, Microsoft is a pretty altruistic and powerful company as well. It just might be that Bing’s service is superior!
API limitations and throttling

BlogSense does provide an application ID for global use, but there are use limitations available to each APIKey. It might be prudent to grab your own APIKey from Bing.com. BlogSense provides a settings area within the Automation->Global Settings area where you can paste in and overwrite the default api key with your personal api key.

In BlogSense 9.9.8.1 we’ve added a new shortcode that helps BlogSense users tap into the Traffic Kaboom! content network. This API is being called Content Kaboom!

What is Traffic Kaboom? Traffic Kaboom is a large private resource sharing service where users leverage multiple blog networks, article directories, social accounts, and other advanced distribution services to promote user submitted content.

From the words of it’s founder, Jason Potash:

Traffic Kaboom is a traffic source that does not rely exclusively on Google or any other search engine. The concept behind Traffic Kaboom is simple. We provide a syndication service. You click a few buttons, fill in some information… and then we “drip-feed” and distribute your article &amp; video content to several thousand good quality(human reviewed) sites that our syndication partners have owned since 2006.

Content Kaboom! is the result of an API developed to help maximize the distribution potential of it’s users’ submitted content. Jason Potash was kind enough to approach BlogSense and offer it’s content services to us for free.

Also, from speaking with Jason Potash, he says that 200-300 articles are submitted by their users daily for syndication, the articles are moderated for quality, and the content storage database truncates all content older than 60 days in order to keep the distribution selection fresh… at any given time the content database contains ~17,000 user submitted articles.

Content Kaboom as an article generation shortcode.

BlogSense has never had a reliable article generation shortcode. We’ve tried, but most quality article services have advanced bot protections that required users who wanted to leverage their services to use proxies… and that’s messy. For the most part if we wanted to import articles we’ve had to use the overused WP Robot article shortcode, or BlogSense’s custom source shortcode (which was difficult for some people to use). The Content Kaboom shortcode will become our first stable keyword based article generation tool.

I look at this as a great success for BlogSense users looking to generate content rather than re-syndicate content (BlogSense has many different applications in the realm of automation and we have to look after them all).
