Check your own forum, I just did, and it seems like there's a whole lot of unhappy people with this issue, which is why you had to nip this in the bud quickly and rudely, I bet.
I don't see how my response was rude at all, that wasn't my intention. You said, "GSA has a huge email verification problem" which I stated was false.
Good email accounts like, oh I don't know, Outlook|Hotmail|Yahoo? They work fine, had the links in the inbox, and I could log into and access through pop3, but many times I had to log in and verify links myself.
Yes, but you want to make sure that your accounts have the spam filter set to automatically forward everything that lands in the spam folder, into the inbox. There are a good amount of providers that sell accounts like this or you can try a catchall.
Also, you mentioned logging into your accounts manually to verify links. Just note that since SER uses pop 3 to read the emails, if you login manually, the emails will still appear to be unread, even though they have been, that's a limitation of pop 3, not SER. (just in case you weren't aware)
That image you linked must be recent, because it's gross, and proof SER isn't as good as it used to be. Back before the horrible update that affected emails, the ratio of submitted to verified would be much closer than that image. Look at that first line, 23,331 submitted to 9410 verified...That's literally what I was talking about in my other post. Before the infamous update, my submitted links actually got verified and didn't pile up. Also, what are those little icons? Is that a skull?
You can set SER to verify links whenever you want. The links "piling up" are just links waiting to go through the verification process so if you don't want them to pile up you can set the option here to verify more frequently:
Also you right click on the project > set status > active (verify only) and it will run through the verification process.
The icons are just randomly generated by the software so people can distinguish between their projects easier.
What happened to GSA? Is it true you are intentionally sabotaging the software? Are there still generic urls linking to mr. cutts?
Sven (the developer) isn't an SEO, he's a developer so that URL was accidentally added to the generic URL's section and was removed right away after it was brought up. Has nothing to do with trying to sabotage anything.
I'm going to fire up SER and see what's up. Last I used it was version 5 or 6ish.
Ya we're on version 8.31 now and the software has evolved quite a bit since you've used it. There are newer features that you might find useful that weren't in the versions you used.
is it ok to buy hotmails from fiverr and just load them up in gsa ranker?
Actually, something might have changed with hotmail in the last day or today. Some people are mentioning that when they're logging into hotmail they require a phone verification. You might try a different provider in the mean time or a catchall email.
