Hey Grogan! Yeah I think you were the first user. :-)
Recip images I didn't update as often as the database because
usually I added new sites as text recips and others didn't change
very often. Most of the database updates I did were removing
dead sites with expired domains so over time the number of sites
got less but the reliability of those sites got better. If you missed
it there was another database update early this year. For the
most part I've stopped with the database updates. From where I
see it, users are better off with their own custom database
rather than competing with each other for listings. Also because
it's really customable I found adding your own partner code and
maintaining a good list of decent traffic senders was a better bet.
Yeah Drew adding any kind of data to a system can take some
time if it's to be done correctly. I didn't want to go the same tack
as other submitters and have "intelligent" category selection and
all that kind of thing. By TGP?s blacklist is full of people submitting
wrongly categorised galleries using other submitters. So instead
LinkUp tries to reduce the load not by thinking for you, but by
clicking for you, the interface is setup to reduce the amount of
clicking and tabbing needed to enter the data rather then try to
guess what should be entered using code.
Expensive.... yeah in today?s market it may be, supply of auto-
submitters has gone up a good deal since then. At the time I
wasn't going to start off at a bargain price as this reduces the
worth of the product and makes support harder. I've seen too
many coders go broke undercharging and put it at the price it
was really worth. Which was quite competitive at the time and
came with a payment plan.
This however will change for the new offering. I can't drop the
price too much, as this would devalue the product for my existing
users. I wouldn't want to give it away and have a flood of
newbies take the listing space that would have been for my long
time customers. I'll be dropping the price when I re-offer it, not
sure how much but it should be competitive again. This will be a
limited time offer tho, just to make it worthwhile doing some
extra features while not upsetting existing users.
Back to suggestions....
Any ways you can see to make the data entry faster Drew?
