Permanently Closed Marketplace Sales Thread

[jagreen78]

I would like to see how successful this idea is once someone has put it into place

Is that what the sample forum shows?

I'm just curious to see:

1. how it shows up on big G
2. the traffic it gets
3. if real humans are actually using it

Without those 3 things then why do I care what your sales page says...

I have been running a couple auto forums for the last year and a half, using another system. They fill up fine, get some traffic (not much,) and dont lead to many signups at all.

But they get thousands and thousands of pages indexed in google. Lots of pages end up with some page rank, and its great for linking.

Very nice videos and sale pages.

Because your only content source is Yahoo Answers, you will end up with thousands of virtually identical forums, and with the recent google crackdown on duplicate content and autoposters, I can not see this method getting any serious traffic. The spinner wont help either because google recognizes that now.

Thank You looks great I agree with the above post not for me

I'm pretty sure you have seen the reviews posted before. Also if you want you can wait for the reviews that are going to be posted.
As mentioned before the traffic totally depends on the niche. If its a warez forum it can get like 10k visitors a day too but a very highly specialized niche wont get that many visitors but would make a lot more depending on the niche..

For getting a lot of signups we recommend closing the forum from being viewed by guests which leads to a number of people signing up.

For your forums i'd really recommend some backlinks. It seems that you dint do any backlinks blasts. They really help in getting rankings higher. I see that you are getting traffic which is a good sign. If you do close your forum to guests you would be able to convert that traffic into signups too which would multiply your revenues multiple fold and wont affect your earnings too since you would still be displaying your ads.

I dont really agree to the virtually identical portion. Lets do a simple search on google and discuss this: If you search on google "site:answers.yahoo.com" google would tell you that it has over 135 Million pages indexed! Now if you have worked with yahoo answers before you would know that yahoo answers does not have the BEST SEO and there are a lot of pages that are not indexed. I wont bounce numbers but if you get a link to one of my un-spun forums running and copy page the heading with brackets in google you would mostly get NO results.

So i believe that the issue of identical forums is not valid.

Added to that if you spin the text before using spinner. I can guarantee that the spinner is the same quality as the best spinners out there.. If you want i can give you link to sample the quality of spinner yourself.

Also the same text when spun again n again gives different results as you would be aware that happens in every other spinner. So the possibility of forums being identical is highly unlikely..

I would like to add again if the software had been a guru product and only a boat load of promises we would have never gotten a BST thread that too on BHW where the smartest minds of IM hang out and would have sold the product on warrior forum or something...!

Hey I am pretty interested in this, I am just wondering if I decide to sell the forum later down the road is there something I need to uninstall or something?

And if I do will the posts and threads from the software still be there?

well the posts that are made by the software would stay there forever. The software generates posts thats all and does not remove the posts if the software is un-installed or something.

Please send a link to the sample forum. Does the sample use the spinner?

How do you keep the forums from getting SPAMMED so damn much? Everytime I get a forum indexed anymore it's loaded with trash the next minute.

put a captcha n stuff for signup... n blame xrummer etc for that..! this is the same stuff u exp with scrapebox when using autoblogs.

Very interested in this but pretty sure the content if not spun will end up in the sea of duplicate content. If I pull content out of a sample forum and google it using parenthesis it is not to be found.

That is correct. But you should not be worried about that because our spinner is of the quality of the best spinners out there. Our dictionary is pretty massive and it is contextual. I'll be posting a sample of the spinner soon. I've raised a request i'll be getting a link hopefully soon from the tech team.

I already have a forum, do I need to replace it with this software or is this just an addon that will auto post? I am looking to trial it but not if it means I have to replace my forum.

well the software works with phpBB forums only. Each key supports 15 installations. So even if you get the trial you can easily buy try it on another installation that is not your forum if you like it you can install it on your forum too. You dont need to remove anything it would only add content to your forum once you install this.

 

[coxie]

Thats fine, I have phpbb, its late here in the UK so I will buy the trial tomorrow.

A word of warning, phpBB captcha has been cracked by the latest version of xrumer (version 7). Captcha'd phpBB forums are no longer safe from being spammed to death. One other perverse aspect of all this is the better your forum shows up in the search engines, the more likely it gets spammed because xrumer and the like use the search engines to find these forums. So you have think this through if you are going down the auto-forum path. If you can get a human moderator, a lot of this stuff can be stopped. We have used people in the Philippines for moderation with success, but the forum has to generate enough money to justify a moderator.

Maybe Rony has more thoughts on this.

I am watching this thread closely, very interested. Bought BlackHatZens forum generator, am waiting to see the sample forum. Hoping the support is better than Zens.

Spam in phpBB is no different from spam in wordpress. It is going to happen and you "have" to install prevention measures. Like you cant let wordpress autoblogs live without putting prevention measures similarly you cant use phpBB without spam prevention mods.

I would really recommend going through the list of 26 mods available for spam prevention here: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=427852

There are a lot of posts on this topic in phpbb and i would recommend going through them.

No intention of thread jacking here.

The developer of BHZens forum generator OSH got in a accident and was in hospital. You cant expect support from a guy who is in life support.
