What types of links are SER getting for you?

Dunce

Created a project for testing, with all types of links & all engines except document sharing and video. Run it for some time, and here is what I got.

That's all verified. So, what you guys getting? Maybe any tips on how to improve specific engine/type links like article, web 2.0, social bookmarks, etc?

rodol

if you want good results selecting Everything just don't use any filters at all and check "Always try to place a URL with an anchor text in descriptions/comment"

and check "put URL to places where is it clearly seen as SPAM"

Don't use keywords to find target sites.

Brandon

If you want more of a certain type of link, you need to stop the easy links like blog comments, trackbacks and indexer.  That will give more threads to the quality links in my testing.

you need more samples... 1000 is not enough. and whois/index stink. they have high % rate anyway..

where do you go to see the breakdown like that of what types of links and their engines?

m1xf1

Options/advanced/tools/show statistics/identified or successful or verified or failed are the options.

skyf

try to always place an URL with anchor text in description/comments > checked


which platforms would this option apply to?

Sven

@skyf many actually. Some platforms have an URL field and a description field that allows you to use html/wiki/bbcode syntax to add a link. But if you do not enter a link code in your description, this would not post a link there but only leave one in the URL input field. So you end up with no anchor text used when not having this option checked.

AlexR

@sven - it seems that this sentence with the URL is very generic and is leaving massive footprint of SER. If I was Google I'd just look for this sentence that is auto added and discount all links where it is found. 

I see the text is in each engine file. Is there a way to globally be able to customise this? Would leave less of a footprint if each user is using their own custimisation and it was easier to customise. 

I'm using macros anyway, but thinking about the global footprint SER leaves. 

klaus007

isnt only the sentence "Also visit my homepage" "visit webpage" and so on, before the link with anchor comes very generic? the rest is spun, isnt it?

seagul

you can edit the file to put in whatever you want. click "edit" next to the checkbox "use generic anchor text %" or you can edit the file directly "generic_anchor_text.dat" in SER folder. The great thing about SER is it's so customisable. Thank you Sven I love it!!

Sven

@AlexR, it's all configureable in the *.dat filed. Feel free to provide a better sentence or edit it on your own.

AlexR

@sven - is it the "generic_anchor_text.dat" or the one in the engines? 

I am referring to the sentence that get's added in the various blog comments if you tick use anchor text in blog comments. It's just if it's in the engine files, then on updates it will get overwritten. Just an idea... 

Sven

Have a look at "auto_anchor.dat" and "auto_anchor-article.dat" ...these have the sentences in it that will get used for adding a link at the end.

AlexR

@sven - You're a champ! Sounds like it's been a long day for you too! I've just found bug after bug after bug in my sites! 

Will definitely edit the auto_anchor.dat! Thanks for the tip!

The reason I was confused was I am learning about the engines, and while checking the blogspot.ini I saw the following and was wondering where it is used?

postBody=%Blog_Comment%\n<i>{Also see my|My|my} {site|website|page|webpage|web page|web site}</i>{ > |: | :: | - }<b><a href="%url%">%anchor_text%</a></b>

Sven

fixed blogspot engine

AlexR

What are the chances that I randomly picked the one with a bug!   

Really glad there is the auto anchor option to edit that applies globally!
