Scritty, very good posts and thread, can I have any question?
Why don't you link the first post? Will my account deleted if I place quality article with link as the first post? Are two quality posts per blog enough for haven't got account deleted?
30% of all web 2.0 sites survive? Domains are quite cheap these day, why don't use them...at least 6 for every money site?
Are you using free/private proxies during opening new account at Wordpress and other properties?
Is there any software to manage all web 2.0 sites from one place?
Is link from article directory lifetime?
Thank you.
For the record, when I bought SLR from Steve Hawkins, he's provided a sh*tload of awesome documentation for the program and he just sent out a strat guide today, I don't know if I'm allowed to send the link, I don't wanna piss anyone off, and I'm sure if you google it you can find it, in anycase, he says your first "article" as scritty refers to as your "bedrock" should not have links as it will get them removed. Now in regards to web 2.0 software here's my personal 2 cents, I think you should take all the top ranked web 2.0's and create them manually:
wordpress, typepad, blogger, live journal, tumblr, multiply, xanga, posterous, etc
YES, there are some good web 2.0 submission software out there and here's my current opinion ATM:
so far so good, some thing's to consider:
1. It's GOING to become a subscription based software in 2011 and steve provides sick support for it as he has in the past with his other programs, he has a good rep.
2. Senuke SUCKS today, and there is little hope until Senuke X comes out in 2020
3. Magic Submitter = Joke
I think it's like $147 w/ the WSO which is a pretty rockstar deal, only complaint is that I would like to see some higher quality web 2.0 sites, but NOTHING on the market provides good automated web 2.0 submission anyway. it just saves SO much damn time when I'm creating accounts, granted, you'll still want to log back in and make changes, but here's a list of the web 2.0 sites offered in SLR w/ their respective page rank, I checked on that giant list that shane hunter provided on the backlinks forum and believe they're all do follow(too lazy to delete my notes, things I do to customize them)
BTW, I use YourPrivateProxy for my proxies, I'll make roughly 1 set of accounts per day depending on my needs, seems to be working alright so far. If you're even considering IM, I think getting a set of private proxies is just necessary to power all of your programs.
