hey sweetfunny,
bought your tool nearly 2 years ago and only just started using it!!!
anyway, wanted to ask, is the RSS ping now able to ping normal URL's as well as RSS feeds? I tried using just a normal URL and it went through as success, so I'm assuming it does, but just wanted to clarify?
thanks
RSS ping sends pings to RSS services with valid XML feeds. So if your using it to send pings to non RSS aggregators, its just creating useless traffic and wasting bandwidth that does no good.
Can you clarify what it is your wanting to do?
Is the new backling addon only able to scrape up to 1000 bl per url? As I remember the previous also free was way more efficient.
Yes, it is capped at 1000. The backlink checker originally started a few years ago, scraping yahoo site explorer, which capped results at 1000. Then when Yahoo retired it, it was transitioned to using alexa, which also capped results at 1000. Not it uses MozScape by SEO moz, which also caps at 1000. Search engines cap results at 1000 results displayed, it seems to be a trend....
Moz Scape is actually much more accurate, on a broader scope and much fresher data then alexas was, so its actually a useful improvement. Also MOZ will give you backlinks for each individual url, where as Alexa would only give you the root domain backlinks regardless of what you loaded in.
So the previous you were thinking of, if you took 30 pages from a site and loaded them all in to the tool when it scraped alexa, it would only pull the same 1000 results for them, the root domain backlinks and you would get 1000 results max.
Now with MOZ if you load in that same 30 urls, you could get up to 1000 backlinks per url, so up to 30K backlinks for that domain.
Clearly the new moz version is hands down better.
My 2 cents.
