So I'm beta'ing the new AutoBlogger Pro
 

I must say, the standalone version is magically delicious. You're all in for somthing nice when this comes out :thumbsup

Tell us tell us!! :) :)

Sounds good indeed :)

its only delicious if the traffic follows.

Cool stuff, man. Glad you like it. Any favorite features, etc?

The campaign manager is making my life 100 times easier :thumbsup

Cool deal. We designed the campaign manager to allow you to put all of your ducks in a row before firing up the engine. You can add specific blogs and groups of feeds to the campaigns before activating rewrite rules and relink rules (as many as you'd like), or headers/footers (ads) and sourcelink patterns (giving credit to your sources). They're hot-swappable, too, if you haven't tried that. You can change them "on the fly" (or deactivate them, saving them for later), and your changes will be in effect for the very next group of postings.

My sig (currently) has 5 screenshots. One of them (the 4th, I believe) is the campaign manager, if people are curious.

*run by hi*
hi nick!
*end of run by hi*

I must say edge, that looks to be coming along REALLY nicely man

congrats on everything

the standalone is something I have been waiting for, I might just have to pick up a copy and ditch RSS2BLOG when it gets released.....rss2blog has all but stopped development, it blows, they were doing great for a while, until they released v4, then they just started slacking

looks good man im intersted in a copy myself

Thanks man, much appreciated. It's been a lot of work (and a lot of all-nighters with about 10 cups of coffee -- haha), but it's been well worth it for the product we've got in beta right now.

Glad to hear that you've had it on your mind. Believe me when I say I get at LEAST 1-3 ICQ's every day asking about it: how much is it, when can they buy it, etc. Seems that quite a few people are anticipating it highly as well.

As far as the RSS2blog stuff, I really can't comment much. I've said in the past that I think it has its uses, and have recommended it on ICQ and on GFY to people who I thought could have used it. Previously, that functionality was that Autoblogger pulled IN, and RSS2blog posted OUT. Now, however, the ABP Standalone product posts OUT, as well as does all of the nifty relink, rewrite, header/footer, sourcelink editor, etc. With all of the personal and professional attacks from the RSS2blog community lately, I can't imagine I'll be doing much more than ignoring them in the future. I can't believe, frankly, that they haven't already come to this thread and started trashing people/products. It's kind of sad.

Glad to hear you're thinking of switching -- although I'm planning on being the bigger man and not waving Autoblogger Pro Standalone in anyone's face to get them to switch. People see the ridiculous attacks, sniping, and "screw you" policy, and they can decide for themselves. We'll just continue to put out quality software at a good price and say "fuck the haters."

:)

Lookin good :thumbsup

to be honest, that was my biggest issue with ABP, aside from the lack of domains, I still like that r2b is unlimited, but ABP definitely has much more advanced features, and now the fact that you are about to launch a version that posts out, well, shit man, you will have a pure winner on your hands

i am a lucky beta tester too... i have to say that chio and new owner dom never cease to amaze me...

you people will shit when its released to public...

i am beta testing on a brand new site. i will post results of where i stand pr wise in a month....

Ready for the kicker?

The current plan for Autoblogger Pro Standalone 1.0 is .. *drumroll* .. unlimited domains. And only a $100 upgrade from Autoblogger Pro 1.0, 2.0, 2.5, etc. (Wordpress versions). Lifetime upgrades of the Standalone are free, of course, etc, etc.

Yeah, "people will shit themselves" seems to be the prevailing opinion of the beta testers so far. Thanks for the kind words, they're appreciated.

Awesome. I'll add the standard "your mileage may vary" disclaimer, of course. Just because YOU have good results with it doesn't guarantee that someone else will, etc, etc, etc, I like pie.

The strategy we talked about just now on ICQ is what made that site a PR6 with nothing but an image on it, no meta, etc. :winkwink:

that's totally hottie traffic

The ninja death squad will be at your house shortly, so this is software is never released and I can keep it all to myself. :pimp

Fine, have them use the "secret knock." You know the one. :1orglaugh

wow man, now THAT is a nice feature :)

Did you add the mass import of relink keywords?
It kind of blows to do them manually if you have a lot. Some kind of import feature would be nice.

sounds kuhl.

cool stuff

For sure. I'm thinking it will be a feature a lot of people like. :winkwink:

I'm not 100% sure we're talking about the same thing. Are you talking about the Standalone version now? What type of import, exactly, would you like? Something to import your old ones from a ABP 2.x (Wordpress) installation? It's all MySQL driven, so you can certainly just dump into the database "raw" if you'd like.

No, I'm talking about the current live version.
I hope the new version has an import feature so I can just copy/paste a list of keywords and URL's instead of manually inserting them one by one.

can't wait to give it a try

This one:

Say I have 50 keywords on several blogs that all need these links I'd have to setup these rules for each blog?
Or does the new version have a centralized rule admin that will effect all blogs?

Mind if I partake in some of the Beta testing? Ask dissipate what kind of domains I've got ;)

It's a central admin that works independently of sites (blogs).

Thank you.

That's one of the great things about the Standalone version. You set up your rules, then you can apply them to any blog you'd like! So, yes, it has what you're asking for. Blogsa re posted to using "campaigns" -- so a campaign can contain (for example), 5 blogs, 10 feeds, and a specific set of relink/rewrite rules. You can change them "on the fly" (in the middle of a campaign), at any time.

It's all interchangable, like Lego blocks.

Beta is currently full, but thanks for your inquiry! We have a good number of people who are submitting excellent feedback and working with us to squash and bugs out there. We're in close contact with our testers, and are working towards a retail release very quickly.

well thats good :thumbsup

ill check it out when its available

come on ;) I'm sure you have room for one more :P

Sorry, as of right now, all of the spots are taken! :)

The good news is, you won't have to wait long for the retail version.

When? When? When?? :)

cant wait, sounds good

Is this going to replace the Wordpress version?

Is this going to replace the Wordpress version?

I love my autobloggerpro.

thanks...

sake...

ABP 3.0 will be the update to the "Wordpress" version. The Standalone will be a separate product, and will be maintained and developed separately. Currently, the plan is to have them both.

I can't speak for him, but I can predict he'll say the same thing I told you last week: submit a ticket so that we can open a dialogue about that request, and get it taken care of. If you need the URL, it is:

http://support.relinksoftware.com

been a week since last message, gonna bump this to see if there is any news on the new abp standalone and abp 3.0

The beta program has officially ended for Autoblogger Pro Standalone 1.0. We are in a "code freeze" at the present time, to prepare the product for its retail release.

We anticipate this release to be on November 1st, which is just a few days.

It's very exciting for us, and as you've told us many times in ICQ, for you guys as well!

The screenshots for the new product can be seen in my current signature.

Users of the (current) Autoblogger Pro product (the one that ships with WordPress) will have a window of time that they can purchase the new Autoblogger Pro Standalone for a special price.

Looking good so far.

Thanks :thumbsup

We've put an assload of work into it. It's building some nice looking sites, too.

can i test it, too?

Autobloggerpro is an awesome product and with everyone useing a free version of wordpress, you know there are going to be exploits, so a standalone version would be very much needed
