Review - Today I tried your service for the 1st time and was dissapointed due to its low performance. Didn't take a look at stats before and was lured by Brandon I am usually using just articles, web 2.0, wikis and directories. Maybe the results would have been better with other platforms, but I don't bother to use them.
Have used different list providers and most of them have given much better results - serlists, donald beck etc. I am cancelling the subscribtion, but if there are some great improvements till the end of the month could subscribe again. Appreciate your scrabebox videos a lot though..
With lists that do not update in real-time (static lists) you will eventually go through all the links within the list and your lpm will slow down because the list has been exhausted. Real-time lists constantly update so there are always news links to post to so you never experience a dip in lpm.
@RayBan Thanks for the feedback. I just finished a purge that has been going on for a week or so now. When I do a purge I eliminate every target and start from scratch. If the targets are not reverified they don't make it back into the list. This is the current only real way to accurately purge the list.
However the downside is contextuals get re-verified the slowest. Im working on a better way to do this, but at the moment its where I am. So the contextual targets are regrettably light at the moment. To that end I am restructuring some of how I build lists in the first place so that I can build in more contextuals.
I also just purchased 3 new servers in the past 2 days to up list production, they are not fully setup as of this moment, but in the process.
So in the near future contextuals should be a lot better, as that is the focus. I am also working on bringing in not only current contextauals but a revolving system for newly created contextual domains.
Regardless its going to get better, but I appreciate the feedback as it helps me put my focus where customers want it to be. If I didn't know what people wanted and what wasn't working well for them, I would have no idea what to work on, thanks.
Also reCaptcha and Text Captcha targets are coming along, although slowly. I had hoped to have them launched by now, but Ive run into some snags, but they should be up sometime in the next couple weeks as an optional free extra.
@SoIO 3 is no issues, in fact we can talk outside of this thread. But I can allow more then 3 even, I have a few current users with special needs and Im flexible.
@1957525979 As noted contextuals are light at this moment, but that is changing soon.
Been a customer for 3 months now. I am only hitting the contextual
targets now. I had to adjust GSA for I am running 90 some campaigns and getting way to many approved - a lot more than expected.
Thanks for the help . Thanks for saving me a lot of work. Everyday, I wake up with 20 or so good links verified for each campaign - unbelievable.
Wanted to give my review here of this service which may be helpful to someone else out there.
Signed up for this last Friday which was several days ago.. the owner sent us the signup for the box acct and we signed up .. We cannot and have not been able to connect the box sync to the folder of urls. We get an error that says we dont have permission because he didnt set us or allow us.. We have contacted this owner several times with no response.
This has to be the worst possible
experience in a url package we have ever purchased and its for sure the
worst support ever as we still have not got a response back from him to
our several emails PLUS several private messages.
Beware
and stear clear if you dont want to throw away your money.. we are
cancelling our subscription now and will be contacting with our American
express acct to ensure a return of our funds for something we never
received.
@JamieB34, Im happy to help and sorry you can't get things setup, however I have exactly zero emails from you. None direct and none from the contact form and no PMs here on the forum. It would seem at the very least before you cancel a service and take the time to leave a bad review that you would at least send a PM on the very forum your leaving a review on.
Ive been selling lists for years now and I always 100% stand by my product. I see you have left negative feedback on other forums as well and you also state you cancelled your subscription but I also have no cancelled subscriptions in many days.
Im trying to understand here if you are actually a customer with help or if you are just blowing smoke as you said you sent multiple pms and yuu have sent none.
The only person I have that has mailed me with an issue Julien and I mailed them back and their mails are bouncing, their mail server is not configured correctly, but I have pmed them on a different forum.
So can you do as you said and actually pm me your email address so that I can at least know who you are?
Regardless, the error you are mentioning sounds like a permission error that box has to deal with. I don't set all the permissions, some permissions are set by the 3rd party service and are out of my hands, when your logged into your online account just go to "help" and you can get help and even submit a ticket for it and it will get fixed up.
Did you try that?
@lostbwana Glad that things are working well for you, you should see even more contextuals over the next couple weeks. Also Im ready to beta test the reCaptcha/Text Captcha service, if anyone wants to help me out and give me some feedback that would be great.
I have actually sent you an email regarding an issue but didn't got a respond. Been about 2 days. Reckon I might as well post it here to see if I can get you to help.
I followed your GSA settings and been getting a lot of the following messages:
Regarding your issues @JamieB34 I would like to clarify.
You posted
"still have not got a response back from him to
our several emails PLUS several private messages."
You did send me 2 non detailed pms on another forum, none here. You sent me 1 email which I found and you waited exactly 29 hours after you sent that email before you posted a negative review here stating
"This has to be the worst possible
experience in a url package we have ever purchased and its for sure the
worst support ever"
I do try and respond within 24 hours but I have pneumonia at the moment and several other mounting issues and Im a couple days behind on mails, I do apologize for that. However to send a mail and wait 29 hours and then post that it is the worst support ever, I think thats unreasonable. You could have also got the issue resolved with a support ticket in the online login, as its a 3rd party issue any way. Ill grant that you didn't know that, but I think your jumping the gun a bit.
Then you sent me a pm today stating that I had to reply in a few mins with a quick fix or you were cancelling. Then another stating you would remove negative reviews if I fixed it today. I have no problem submitting a ticket for you, but when you try and hold stuff over my head I don't go for it.
So I fired you as a customer and you have been refunded and subscription cancelled. Im sorry it didn't work out, I do stand by my products, and I do try and reply in 24 hours, but at 29 hours to say its the worst support ever and threaten a charge back and post negative reviews to warn other buyers etc... its rubbish in my book.
Everyone else can call it as they see it, you have your money back, have a good day.
No form at all is when a form has been removed/SER can't find it. I haven't really dug in to find if SER has issues with discovering the form on certain platforms, but Sven said that it should be fine. If a mod turns off comments or posting etc... then it would remove the form and thus that error. This is an issue where the list simply dies. Given that its a live sync I have to go thru and prune the list of these targets. I currently do this by re-posting to and re-verifying every target, but that just takes a long time, I am currently working on a more efficient way to do this. You will always get some of these errors as once a target hits my list it can get a ton of hits pretty quick, since its live and it gets auto loaded into all customers SER, where as with a downloaded list it would be more staggered. However I do keep on top of it and prune these as new ones are added.
Text captcha found and skipped is where an admin changed the captcha. Again this just happens sometimes. Of course you can use a text captcha service to still take advantage of that target, and I may wind up recycling the target into the reCaptcha/text captcha list, if its compatible.
No engine matches can occur again if SER can't figure out the platform, or if its a platform that you don't have chosen to post to.
There isn't really any settings you can change to stop them, aside from using a text captcha service, to some degree its just the nature of things as the list dies, it gets pruned and replaced, but there are always some dead targets.
donaldbeckAdvanced SER Videos -> http://bit.ly/1ySrbwu | Learn SER For Free Step By Step -> http://sertips.com
@loopline I sent you a PM today, make sure you check it out when you have time. It's not about the internet lol. Just wanted to make sure I got your attention, as your time is clearly limited these days.
@donaldbeck Thanks, I read it, your extremely generous. Ill respond to your msgs shortly.
@MaX No, Im here, I don't go on holiday, I work on Christmas, New Years etc... I msged you back.
@Seljo Yes, for whatever reason there is an issue with the files that are coming down thru box sync, they are being encoded for some users, thus the funky characters. Im not entirely sure why this is happening, but its been happening the past few hours.
It is a 3rd party service I use to deliver the live sync, and they are working on the issue at the moment with high priority. The lists on autoapprovemarketplace.com are fine and not affected, so as a temp fix you could download the latest list and just right click on your project (or select multiple at a time) and import targets and select the list. I realize that defeats the purpose of live sync, but at the moment it works. The sync should be fixed soon, so you can of course do nothing and it will start working when its fixed.
Your service is great, I appreciate the time and effort you're putting to this
I just have couple of problems that I can't figure out why :
I'm running your service on my server with 1000 mb/s speed and at the beginning i'm getting around 20 LpM but after 10000 verified links eventually my submitted links dropping to 10 and it stops submitting and I get lots No engine matches, wrong engine, and No target to post errors.
Do you have any Idea what is the possible problem could be ?
Matt from Loopline deserves a mention. The quality of a service or product is finally determined by the quality of the after sales service and the willingness of the seller to look after his customers. Matt is one of the most professional people I have bought from in 20 years as a developer. His knowledge and customer care attitude is second to none. If all sellers would be like Loopline the web would be a better place.
@specialist What engines/platforms/cms are you posting to? Is it contextual only or ..?
I mean the only reason I can think you would run out of targets is if you have your engine base set very narrow and you don't allow posting to the same domain more then once or if there is some issue where my list is not being synced into your machine (like if the sync app is not enabled or has crashed or something).
Wrong engine can be that you loaded in a list but did not select the engines it needs. No engine matches can be if the platform has been changed.
All of this could be caused by a sync issue, I think I actually helped you some long time ago via mail, as this post is old.
@Molex At this time Im so swamped with maintaining the servers and this list I decided to not sell 1 off lists. If you need a 1 off list at the moment then I would recommend serlists.com they are great. I will probably down the track go back to having 1 off lists as well. Im in the middle of coding up a lot more automation, but its a slow process to build a idealy fault proof system
@moonton Serlists are great, I respect all the members that make them and I even recommend their lists. My lists are different in nature in that its a live system that you buy into on a membership level.
So SERlists you buy a red/blue list today and in two weeks they have a new one and you buy it.
With my lists its live synced into your SER all month long. So all day as I find new targets they are auto loaded into your SER within minutes of me finding them. With SERlists you get new targets in 2 weeks.
I do multiple purges a month to keep the list purged and up to date, with SERlists you have to work with whatever old verified urls are good and then also addin in the new ones, so more list management.
with my lists you set it up once and it just works, 24/7/365 you get new lists, when you build new projects you just check a box in the project and it auto pulls from the lists. SERlists you have to buy and load them in and all that.
Plus I will be offering other things. Like a live identified list. Currently it has over 2 million targets that are identified. When I scrape I sort them all into a global identified list, so if you use reCaptcha or text captcha or other services besides Captcha breaker this can be great. Also it has targets I have not yet parsed for links.
The global live identified list is not launched, I mean its basically ready and any of my members can have access, and several do, but I haven't made the tutorial videos yet so I haven't launched it official and turned it on for everyone. So thats an advantage
and then I plan to shortly add SER Engines support.
Down the track I will also add a separate verified list for just reCaptcha and text captcha, but its been pushed back.
So SERlists are great for sure, but any 1 off list sales will have more list management then my system will, plus Im building in extras that aren't offered by current 1 off list sellers.
@blackhat By Unique I presume you mean unique domains or ? There are several symantical ways you could interpret your question, all with different answers, so not completely sure what you mean. However if you mean unique domains then there are about 4300 Unique Domain Contextual Targets in my list at the moment, of which 90%+ are dofollow. In fact I think they are all dofollow, but Ill say 90% just to be on the safe side.
It does change though, all month long I add new ones and remove ones that no longer allow for new registration.
@loopline Hi, I subscribe to your service. Did I read correctly that you have a list that contains recaptcha and text captchas ?..if so can I get a copy please. Like everybody else I'm struggling to get contextual links but I do pay for spamvilla captcha solving so I'm happy to give them a go.
@filescape I had to put the recaptcha/text captcha list on hold, isolating the recaptcha targets and text captcha targets proved more difficult then I had anticipated. Its still on the path, but its delayed.
Tomorrow I launch the identified synced list feature. It comes included with the verified list. All the targets I scrape get identified and loaded into a identified folder and you can use that with recaptcha and text captcha.
hi loopline, thanks for your response but can you provide the screenshot of the "show chart" option? it looks like this: http://cl.ly/image/09221K373M0T
you right click a project and click show chart > select the date to last 30 days (so we know stats are from a current list) and click "engines". this will show how good your lists are and will help me determine if i should buy your list. most of the sellers of lists on this BST has been dodging and being vague when asked to show actual stats from their results so i hope you wont be vague about it. thanks!

Have used different list providers and most of them have given much better results - serlists, donald beck etc. I am cancelling the subscribtion, but if there are some great improvements till the end of the month could subscribe again. Appreciate your scrabebox videos a lot though..
I have 3 VPS servers on 3 separate IP's.
How many servers can I run a single subscription on?
AskMe, SER Engines, Captchatronix allow 3 IP's on a single sub.
Any luck with this service?
