Kill that engine. And claus, do what we have been telling everybody to do - look at each engine and the stats to make an intelligent decision on what engines to use, and not to use. You'll get rid of the dogs that way, and you will make a lot more verified links. So don't just stop at Ning.
It is for sure but you'd have to script them yourself. there's a whole guide on how to script new engines. YOu'd have to do some searching around but ozz put out a quite a few guides on exactly how to do it. + if you go to Start -> All Programs -> GSA Search Engine Ranker -> Script Language Documentation is a quick Guide in there.
"Another great engine gone in SER. They Dwindle more and more each day."
<-- maybe it needs some optimisation. monitor the submission process first with the debugger, report everything you notice to sven and send him some examples where you think something went wrong. apart from that its a recaptcha engine which is to avoid if you don't use any 2nd services for captcha solving.
also keep in mind that some engines are very limited in target URLs, because they don't get used such often. you simple don't get more target URLs than you have scraped after a while.
another thing everybody can do is to provide some better footprints for scraping. there is so much everyone can do to optimise every engine.
I'd love to collect and send all that info to Sven, But would it be used? Sven already seems like he's got his plate full already with everything going on. I'd hate to bog him down with more stuff. ;(
I think ning had changed their platform. cause when it was first released I got great results from it. while using a service such as Image Typerz. after a while though I stopped getting any type of results so tells me that ning prolly changed up something to stop the submissions or whatever. I'm hoping that James service will be able to update these engines and also add new ones. But who knows when that would be.
I'm trying to find a programer that would be able to add engines and keep them updated but i'm totally clueless as where to look.
I used to outsource a lot to PH. But I had nothing but horrible results. Anyone else have any suggestions?
We 're in the same boat. I tried to find a programmer to do the job but I miserably failed. So I gave up and I settled on waiting for James service or @sven's platform trainer. Whichever comes first!!. : )
@ LeeG I hope it's not me that's a troublemaker? As I wrote earlier - I should have posted this topic in the LpM thread. Your succes had me looking at the succesrates of different engines.
What would be a nice feature in the future would be an engine share feature, similar to the captcha share feature in CB when the trainer gets added to ser
I'm surprised nobody mentioned that NING is a low success platform because of the fact that it asks the user a unique question about the site while registering.

Thumbs up to both of you.
In my example - 50.000 submissions 0 verifieds. Kill it - as you both say :-)
Trouble makers hijacking threads.
Wonder where you guys got the idea from about killing poor yield engines
Time + effort + hijacking threads = bad name like LeeG

Im hiding from Ozz, Im not lurking

I think Ozz will agree its a good idea. Im sure he would hope others would join in the hiding game
Oh, you mean sharing the platforms
I have my occasional moments
That's to bad. I wonder does anyone code their own engines and just use them for personal?
