um...all updates to rss2blog are free, I am not sure where you get that upgrades have to be paid for

I had version 3, and have for 5 months now, and version 4 came out 2 days ago and they sent it directly to me

One reason I can say that I love rss2blog and would NEVER use ABP is that the owner of rss2blog is one of the nicest people in the world and never talks down to someone inquiring about her software, and that is all I see people supporting and working with ABP doing to people on this board. It is like a big snobby fest any time someone criticizes ABP

I am not quite sure where you get that I said that. can you quote me please, because I think you may have misunderstood whatever I posted.

Rss2blog does not allow me to change nearly as much as what ABP does. Hell, one of the most boasted features of ABP is the ability to change linking codes in rss posts, HA. Isn't this on the same level as shaving?

and let me point this out, I have built up an insane internal network of site. I have paysites, free sites and maintream sites. I do not promote anything that is outside of my network, I do not believe in selling something for someone else, when I can do the exact same thing and take all the profit. So, the needing to change links across an entire network thing isn't a feature I need, because they are my links and they never change.

I use blogs for pushing up my primary site ranking, I have no interest in making pretty blogs, or blogs that people will bookmark. I have a hard time even calling them blogs because most people would laugh at them because they are just basically feeder pages that are updates on a consistant basis.

So, I guess if I wanted to make really nice blogs that people bookmarked and constantly came back to because I had pictures of hot women supplied by rss feeds from other sponsors, ABP would be perfect.

But I need hundreds of blogs (a new one each day), so that search engines have hundreds of sites that are all pushing my main sites.

ABP is simply better, no need to cry over it.....

Chio just a thought here about this post.. If it's 25 domains now, I think it used to be 10? Why not just make it unlimited? That way you are the same as rss2blog for pretty much the same price. I mean in reality do you sell that many second copies of server licenses?

It's just my thoughts, but if rss2blog is the only competition why not just match them and it's one more thing people can't say is better or worse. This is assuming you aren't selling that many 2 second server licenses.

Oh and for this awesome idea you could be a cool pirate an hook me up for a half price :winkwink: :winkwink:

I think Theo needs to give "Brother Soap" a hug.. :winkwink:

The upgrade email told me it costs money, genius.

And who made a RSS2Blog vs. ABP post? Sheesh. Right, that was YOU.

At least you can admit it. Now go away.

I use original content so that the search engines can make love to my blog.

I got the same email. It told me that I had to pay the difference between the older versions price, and the new one which was 100.00 if I remeber correctly.

I can quote the email if you'd like.

As you can see from the feature list, it's not even really a competing product. I hate to say it so blatantly, but we've played "fair" for a long time, and now a thread pops up with RSS2Blog vs. ABP? I'm sorry, but they aren't even in the same universe.

ABP isn't an unlimitedhalicense. If you want an "unlimited" version of something that isn't as good, that's your choice. For me, give me a well-licensed product at a fair price, and I'll keep rolling with it.

It's a no-brainer.

YARGH! I get some nice love too :) From another ABP thread. Some demo sites I posted information for quoted below

Crockett I've mentioned here, and there that's exactly what we are doing. A complete stand alone product able to post out to anything, and free upgrade to existing users.

YARGH!

I use rss2blog and I'm really excited about the new features in v4.

Sig time.

For those people who couldn't afford or didn't want to pay $297 to try out RSS2Blog, there was an option with the earlier version to get it at a cheaper price.. $197 instead of $297 I think, with the stipulation that if you wanted upgrades you would have to pay the $100 difference.

If you bought the regular version at $297, all updates are free.

Wow, that's pretty fucking sleazy!

The chumps in the other thread kept saying "You can buy ABP for $197!" They never mentioned anything about it being an "old" version, never mentioned anything about needing to pay to upgrade, or ANYTHING.

Sounds like outright fraud on their part. Ouch. That makes me nervous to ever do business with RSS2Blog again -- They'd probably lose their affiliates accounts for shit like that if they were ABP users.

YARGH! I went to the site and ordered it. The price was 197.00 *shrugs*

That site looks like an infomercial to me so who knows.

Yeah, my issue is that dial, Babaganoosh, and the rest of the morons kept saying it was $197 or whatever the fuck ... it's deceptive and scammy. No wonder the "no refunds" thing has caused so many problems.

I offered to sell my RSS2Blog license for $1 to someone who wanted to try it -- I don't use it, ABP is better for what I personally do, and yet I don't need to make threads like this crying about how RSS2Blog sucks -- he asked the RSS2Blog scammers, and they said I couldn't transfer the license. I ended up just blowing away the package and trashing the emails -- worthless then, and worthless now.

It does doesn't it. :1orglaugh Apparently using yellow highlighting and making your page a mile long works but unfortunately it makes it look like the fifty million other fly by night silver bullet greatest internet marketing software ever made type sites that make their money off lazy webmasters and provide zero support and then resurface 3 months later with a new product.

Despite the marketing over-hype I took a chance and have been more than happy with the results. I can't say the same about several other pieces of software that sit gathering dust in my "stuff I don't use" folder :Oh crap but that's how it goes.
