UD does appear slow compared with others, but there are good reasons for that.
Many tools only measure success of submission NOT success at publication.
Succesful submission aint' the same as publication With some of these tools your measuring two different results. Submission is real easy - real quick and means next to nothing. Publication is much harder. UD only reports success at publication, and if "fails negative" in other words if it's not sure - it says NO. I like that attitude and wish more SEO tools would do it.
As for anchors. and URL's UD allows you to put in as many as you want (great for diversification) I've had 12 URL's and 48 anchors rotating around a couple of links as a max, higher is probably more than possible.
UD is a little slower all the same. (well, at least 50% slower) - and that makes a difference for sure.
As for Nofollow. Will people stop harping on about that as if it was important.
The only thing nofollow links prevent is the trasferrence of Page Rank.
You can index and get rises in SERP's with no follow links
The only restriction is the accumulation of PR points.
If I'm number 1 in google for a great term I coudn't care a less if the page in question is PR0 or PR7. I've ranked several sites high in SERPs on WIKI's alone (and so - to be fair - has everyone else over the last 6 months it seems)
And seriously - who gives a feck about PR? Even google are about to lose the exclusive patent on the whole project in the next couple of years, after which, my guess is PR (which means next to nothing now) will mean absolutely nothing at all.
WIKI is a pretty small part of Ultimate Demon anyway. "30,000 link blasts" on any platform type is general a numb nuts way to go about linking these days. Diversification is the key. Mixing good WIKI's with WEB2, article and bookmarks (like Scuttle Plus that offer some nice static URL's on high traffic sites)
