FCSnetworker review
dear all, i have been a hardcore user of gsa ser and recently i started using fcsnetworker as my tier 1 links and use gsa ser to power them up.
I upgraded my packages 3 times and quite honestly im a happy customer.
Pro:
Works as advertised.
There was some hiccups in posting to wordpress but it was resolved very fast
Very good support, I send a lot of tickets and all of them were answered within 24hrs
Advice was given to how to maintain live blogs
Cons:
The pc based fcsnetworker account creator didnt that smooth as it takes up a lot of resources. To be objective, i had to restart it a few times but to be fair, i still manage to create slightly over ten thousand accounts easily.
And they currently have a web based account creator tool but as its in beta, i havent used it yet but this is a good move as this shows they are working on things non stop.
For anyone evaluating fcsnetworker, i dare say from my experience its good. To be support is more important than price.

how to do fuel the links from fcs networker?
and also whats your package? does they require captcha like dbc? same with proxies?
I suggest to you to run the account creator by a VPS.
After to have some (actually not often) problems with it, I tryed to install it on my VPS, and there it works much much better. I can create more accounts and I don't have some problems I have using it by my laptop. I just lower a little the threads of Gsa Ser when I use the account creator, and I also use not too much threads on the creator
About submitting, I don't agree with your point 2. When somebody do a real blog, why should he let the blog stopped for 1-2 weeks without posting anything? I think it not happen on the real blogs.
I usually post since the day I create the accounts, I upload 3 articles without any link (one per day), and the day 4 or also the next week I upload the article (longer than the first 3) with my link.
Just my 2 cents
Yes, maybe it can be a good strategy. The best way should be to mix different strategies.
For example, for most of the webs I was thinking to do same as you wrote, and exactly to upload 3 articles without link, then the last one, bigger, with links to the money site, and then nothing more. But for some of them, the "best" one (like wordpress, livejournal, purevolume etc) I want to try to keep uploading content just for to improve their authority and so their link juice.
It's just an experiment I want to try when I finish to prepare all the webs.
About how many accounts per day, actually I'm going slow now because I'm busy with other things of SER, changing VPS, making articles etc. I only can say that with every run of FCS, I'm getting 50 accounts when I use FCS by the VPS; and 40 using it by my laptop.
A question: I still don't understand how the email creator works.... Usualy I let FCS create automatically the single email it needs for make 50 accounts, but is it possible to create (BEFORE to run FCS), a bunch of email accounts?
Thanks for your reply. Actually I have thousands of yahoo email, I will try to use that for next accounts I will create.
About the number of accounts, I referred about "accounts per run" and not "accounts per day". At the moment I'm getting 50 accounts "per run". If I start multiple run I get 50 x (run number).
I wrote that number because it's an "index" of how many web 2.0 are working at the moment with FCS.
Considerating FCS has now 59 web 2.0, getting 50 is a good number, it means the 85% of webs 2.0 are working now.
FCS it's really a good tool!
Ser lists have nothing to do with FCS, just different things
I also like that they use their own verified proxies so I never have to worry about that in scheduled posts. Its a nice clean interface and I like that I can make edits or run full campaigns from any browser, anywhere.
The windows account creator is well made and the best Ive seen for the platform its created on, in comparison to GSA its a hog but for what it is and does it more than adequate. I managed to build over 3000 social accounts in a few days with it and most of them are still going. btw you can buy account packs if your not into creating them yourself as well.
For $27 it does everything I needed senuke to do only better (for web 2.0s and additional bookmarking.) I cant see myself cancelling it anytime soon. Im not associated with FCS in any way either. Going forward I think a tool like fcs or serengines is the way to go then have GSA back them up with a few tiers.
The desktop account creator 'thinks' that its created a lot more web2s than it actually has, with more than 60% of them being D.O.A (at least for the decent sites that allow you to create a subdomain, anyway).
The way that it reports posted articles leads a lot to be desired, with the blank referrer not working properly half the time (if you want to click on them to check them manually), and just the way that the data is presented not being that great.
Also, the posting mechanism seems to trigger filters, meaning that even more of your blogs seem to get deleted, even if you folow best practices.
It does seem to work really well for creating and posting to social accounts though, but I think that for all of its faults (and even though it annoys the hell out of me sometimes), rankwyz is still the better option, at least for building a network of web2s, anyway.
It must be that I'm so used to struggling and doing things backwards with rankwyz, that to do it any other way just doesn't seem right any more. lol
Don't get me wrong though, I didn't think that FCS was 'terrible', it just wasn't really for me (although, I did like how easy it was to set up campaigns with).
you held off your rankwyz and FCS accounts (i am not even asking why do you have both) for a tool that is not even released
Good Call mate.
@davbel @2TAke2 both have ups and downs. But i can assure you for a one given bug for FCS rankwyz has 5.
And the famous "filter triggering", i think it is about IPs for both of the services. But there are times my posts and accounts getting deleted within second with rankwyz.
That was the first reason i left them
Only thing i dont like with FCS is I have to verify all the blogs manually to see if everything went fine. I am not sure if any other tool delete the default posts after creating accounts.
I don't go after easy or even medium ones.
My keywords and my niches are impossible to rank with just FCS and SER.
It surely helps but nowadays i don't think you can rank with just web2.0 for any keyword other than very low competition ones.
Also FCS is not a software, their account creator is.
To those using proxies with the account creator - do you notice a significantly lower success rate than when you don't use proxies? I get about 50 without and anywhere from 35-40 with proxies (semi-shared private).
