Link Farm Evolution -- Any Reviews?

Link farm Evolution, what is this all about?

 

[nowimhere]

Thanks guys, I have read this thread and got to say....

Whoever does not read this thread and ask questions, will have
reputation taken away from them.

Which is lame in my opinion.

I guess these guys are not all to keen on giving good customer service.
You know the basics, answering potential customers questions and all.

I come to this thread to read up.

Leave a question like literally two weeks ago.

Now I get reputation taken away for asking about a product?
Without you even answering my question?
And again, like two weeks ago?

What do you guys think that that one little comment effected your sales
or something? Asking what your product is about?

Well thanks guys for clarifying for me, now I do know, without a
doubt what kind of people are behind this service....

I want nothing to do with them.

Thanks guys, for taking rep away from a post made 2 weeks ago asking
about your product. Sure, I should have read the thread.

But you should NOT be calling your interested clients idiots.

Which is what you called me AFTER you took reputation away.

So again. Thanks for nothing.

Really revealing yourselves in this way, just has totally
made my day.

I hope everyone, if they read only one post from this thread reads this one.

If you answered my question it could have improved your sales.

So I guess you guys are just bitter that you dont have sales,
and are just looking for a scapegoat.

Placing the BLAME on someone that really didn't do anything bad.

Now as a customer, (or at least a OLD potential one)
I have the full right to come here and let all other potential clients of yours
know the experience that I have had with you guys.

So again. Best of luck to you guys, I hope you
guys smarten up and learn from your acts.

Everyone knows that if you are going to sell a service on a forum that you will
more than likely have to answer some questions more than once.

So if you can't tell already from the length of this post, compared to the last original one (like one sentence asking what this was all about)

You can tell. I am not a happy dude.

Just try providing a service where feedback from everyone including
potential customers, is good feedback. I think we can all agree that
that is a good business model.

I can only deem your actions as juvenile and immature.

So I personally am going to stay a long way away from you guys.

Like seriously call me a idiot after you take action against me,
probably not that good of a more there bud.

Just to let you know. Bud.

Try treating your customers with more respect, and maybe they will
buy from you.

Otherwise, I dont think this whole online business stuff is going to
work out very very for you in the long run.

This all to me is practical usable advice that I hope you take and use.

Otherwise, I will simply be happy never talking to you guys again.
Thats how strongly I feel about this incident.

Thanks for nothing by the way.

Dave,

Cool it...Anyone from the thousands of senior members here can take your REP away...

And the kind of questions you posted "Link farm Evolution, what is this all about?" is kinda errmmm yes lame..since there are over 80 posts here talking about the feature and aspects of LFE.

Believe me...this kind of question posted anywhere in any kind of forums are not going to get favorable response. Try it especially in WickedFire!

Moreover Only 1 guy is selling (the one who should give you customer service) and the tens of thousands of us are not !

I am a happy customer of LFE and I hope nobody knows of this powerful software...LOL

The team behind LFE has been answering diligently on the dozen of questions shooting on the forum board every few hours.

This team is as good as you can get . Kinda similar to the commitment of SENUKE team but less the costly monthly costs.

Wow. This is what happens if you don't monitor threads.

You guys should head to the "official post" (The one I actually check).

http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/blackhat-lounge/114573-link-farm-evolution-4.html

I already posted it earlier, doing it again.

I bought it on a server and requested a refund (not that it's not good it's great it does what it says) but it's that I didn't expect it to be 'so black hat'.

Unfortunately the owner told that they do not issue refund if you got your product via an affiliate? I wasn't warned of this particular 'exception' before. So I guess busin3ss will clear some things up for us and we'll make a deal about the refund peacefully.

I've never told anyone this, and my other two partners either (CharroSEO and Vvk). Send me your paypal and I will issue your refund and send you some goodies to make it up to you.

I honestly don't have the least idea of what you are talking about. I wasn't even aware that you could do do rep stuff over here (See my post count).

I'll hook you up with some goodies too, for the misunderstanding and for all the time and effort you spent writing that long post. :cow_yello

My review:

This software seems like it COULD be extremely awesome and worth it. However, at this point there are a lot of bugs and issues that make it unusable or at least frustrating. I bought this almost 2 weeks ago and I have a total of about 12 blogs.

First after installation I couldn't get to the login screen. Eventually after some back and forth with support over a couple days I was able to get to the login screen. Then after clicking login I was met with a blank page. Again a couple days of back and forth, giving them FTP access, and I was able to login and actually see the software for the first time.

I attempted to create a blog on a total of 1,500 of the approximately 3,500 WPMU hosts that come with the software. In the end about 400 of them actually worked and created a blog. I let these sit for a couple days before attempting to post. After attempting to post I got an error on 99% of the created blogs that XML-RPC wasn't enabled so it couldn't post.

Again another post to support, this time I noticed multiple people having the same issue. Turns out there is a "bulk action" ability to turn on XML-RPC for the created blogs. Unfortunately when I tried this it didn't actually turn it on for 99% of the blogs again.

So, the first time I ran it I got about 6 blogs posted to. After turning on XML-RPC I got about another 6 blogs posted to, the rest continued to say XML-RPC was off. Again multiple people had this problem but no solution has been offered yet.

So, after about two weeks I've made a total of 400 blogs out of 1,500 attempts (not bad at all in my opinion) but I've only been able to post to around 11 of them (pretty bad). Continuing to wait on support. I haven't been posting my issues to support every single day as fast as I can though so the long 2 weeks of waiting is partially my fault. I don't have time right now though.

I think this software WILL be great and COULD be awesome but like I said at the start it's too buggy right now to really be usable for me. Currently I'm still happy with my purchase as I believe they'll fix these issues and that the software will be great when they are fixed and will also cost more. Basically I'm hoping that by being an early supporter during this buggy/broken phase will save me money long term.

Thanks for the honest review.

First after installation I couldn't get to the login screen. Eventually after some back and forth with support over a couple days I was able to get to the login screen. Then after clicking login I was met with a blank page. Again a couple days of back and forth, giving them FTP access, and I was able to login and actually see the software for the first time.

However this is not a bug or anything, you didn't follow the installation instructions correctly

About the posting/creating on WPMU part. Have you tried Tumblr, Blogger, Pligg or any other supported platform?

Thanks for the honest review.

Hey the install instructions don't mention anything about the .htaccess file.. its YOUR fault I was too stupid to notice it being hidden.

Just kidding..

It was your fault that you didn't mention needing PHP-XML or whatever as a requirement though which was the second problem. I understand though that it's a really rare problem.

Again I'd like everyone to know I'm still happy with my purchase even though I haven't made much use of it yet. It's mostly because I've been too busy with other stuff to use it than it is problems with the program. Definitely see a lot of promise in the future and you should consider getting in now before the price goes up.

Oh and I haven't tried it with blogger, etc hosts. Mostly interested in the WPMU stuff as I feel those services like blogger, tumblr, etc get banned too easily and I want something more permanent. I might start though actually.

 

[busin3ss]

Damn .htaccess file I must admit, I work most of the time under Linux/Mac and since it's hidden I always forget to upload it.

You should give it a try to the other blog platforms, and read this:

My review.

First of all, let me say that normally ... I wouldn't try to promote something that (when successfully promoted) would cause me more competition. As far as I'm concerned, the less people using this tool the better for me. This is my first post here, I'm a busy guy, I don't typically spend my time posting at forums, I usually just lurk. That being said, link farm evolution is really such an amazing thing that the designers deserve a review.

First my issues, then my experience after I got it installed properly. I'm not complaining about the installation issues, just explaining them to help anyone else if they experience the same issues.

I tried to install this on windows server 2003, WAMP server. After installation all I received was a blank page. I emailed support and had extremely helpful responses always within 15 minutes of sending an email.

As it turns out, the current version of WAMP server is 5.3.0 and it doesn't have ioncube loaders. I was given the login to their private area where there were instructions for setting up WAMP server. It involved me having to uninstall WAMP 2.0, and reinstalling WAMP 1.7.4, which had a previous verion of PHP that has ioncube loaders. Pain in the butt to do, especially on a production server with many live sites ... but I was able to get it fixed in about an hour, and it was well worth the trouble.

Second problem I ran into, WAMP 1.7.4 doesn't come with ioncube automatically loaded. After following instructions in that private area I got it installed, took maybe 15 minutes.

I started to create blogs. Started by making 2000 blogs. When completed, I had 1096 blogs created but not activated. Started activating the blogs and now I'm down to 593 with 120 that still need confirmation (which will yield maybe 60% activated out of that last 120 ... when all is said and done I will have better than 25% of the 2000 blogs I started trying to set up. Very impressive, not complaining about that at all.

Something people should be aware of ... my third issue (which wasn't really a problem), after going great for hours and hours it just stalled. It stalled and I thought I broke something on my end, the cron page was still going but nothing happened for about 3 hours. What happened was their email confirmation servers were bombarded and stopped processing the emails. I went to sleep, by the time I woke up in the morning it was processing them again.

So that was an overview of the problems I encountered, hopefully that will help someone get past the same issues if they encounter them.

Next issue, is it worth $297? Holy cow, if it cost $1000 I would have gone for it. Lets look at the different things you get ...

1) List of (constantly updated) wpmu and pligg sites to create domains on. Thousands upon thousands of different IP addresses. I used to create wpmu sites by hand and it was a pain in the butt to be honest, just finding them took forever. I would have paid $297 just to be given such a long list of thousands of constantly updated WPMU and pligg sites.

2) Email confirmation and setup of new wpmu sites. They handle the emails, they handle changing the blog theme, they delete those damn blogroll links that need to be deleted every time, they handle the captchas for a price so low its virtually nonexistant. If I had to get an employee that would do nothing but sit there all week long starting up new blogs, typing captchas, confirming emails, it would be worth $297 and they couldn't keep up with what this program will do.

3) Blog management. I wrote my own jetspinner-like PHP function a while ago and my grand plan was to write something like link farm evolution, taking spun text and posting them to blogs. They organize it so well, and I'm totally impressed with the way I can modify all the blogroll links and post to / manage all my sites so easily. A tool that would do only this (even if I had to find my own WPMU blogs and create them myself) would be worth $297 to me.

4) Pligg posting to advertise the blogs. It really is amazing, super easy to get backlinks to your blogs to start getting them indexed. They have captcha breaking built into it. Again, this alone worth $297 to me.

5) Everything I haven't even played with yet. The content creation tools, the fact that I have free updates. I don't know whether they'll charge for major upgrades, like if they implement livejournal or some other new systems, but to me they'd be worth the cost of upgrades.

Right now I have about 500 blogs that are set up, took me about a day to get them arranged and that day was just letting automated things do their job, not that I had to spend any time during the day to set things up. My only real work is spitting out the spinner articles. I can totally manage 500 or 1500 blogs with this software no problem.

This is a sweet system ... I would NOT want to be competing against this system within my niches, at least not without the chance to compete back using link farm evolution. I don't make a penny if you buy, in fact I probably will lose money if this thing becomes oversaturated and as a result, google does something to dampen its impact. Its worth the price.

 

[blackieman]

There was a question asked earlier, and there was no reply so I like to ask this too.

We buy a tool that lasts for a while. Regular WP has closed XML-RPC by default (you have to go in and enable it). So soon, MU's will have XML-RPC turned off (my guess) specially after folks start to use a tool like this a bit too much .. so what happens to this tool.

LFE will turn XML-RPC on automatically.

And don't worry about it, we support Pligg, Blogger, Tumblr, Wordpress.com too.

WPMU is just a small part of it.

 

[stock]

linkfarmevolution.com,, the page blank!!!

 

[stressfree]

so to be clear is this white/black or grey hat link building?

 

[stressfree]

can an idiot like me run it? Or is it tech savvy?

 

[busin3ss]

It could be either WH or BH, depending on how you use it.

And you don't need to be tech savvy, the only part you need some tech knowledge (and we have extensive guides and we even do it for you for free) it's in the installation process. You know, setting up databases and permissions like any other script.

 

[blackieman]

WPMU is just a small part of it.

xml-rpc needs to be turned on by the website. If not turned on, then no way to post to that using this protocol. My 2cents recommendation for your long term biz: login as normal users do (via program) just like SENuke. Harder to program, but would last a longer time.

Thanks for the feedback. We do "loing like normal users" for other platforms (Tumblr, Blogger, Pligg, Wordpress.com) but we don't do it on this version for WPMU sites.

Just wanted to agree that the installation guide is pretty good, even if you're not tech savvy. when I bought LFE I didn't even know what half of the technical terms in the installation guide meant (cron job, database, permissions, etc) and was able to figure it out thanks to the step by step directions and the power of google

 

[sabul]

i've used YACG with great success to autoblogs ..i think this stuff should be put into our attention ...he made great plugins and script ..
