How To Best Use Verification On First Tier?
I have a project to my money site that I need to keep as tight and safe as possible.
I have read folks like to set verify to 5 days to make sure they stick and to help avoid
building more tiers to those dead links.
However, I am worried if I do this on my first tier I could get far too many verified links while waiting
those 5 days to actually verify them and far overrun my target number of links per day.
On this first test I set the project up to verify automatically, now it's stopped for the day
and half of the links are already missing.
What is the best way to handle this situation on this first tier?
Obviously having dead links in an upper tier would be a huge waste of time and resources,
yet I can not risk blasting hundreds of links per day.
How can I best accomplish what I want?
It seems to me re-verify would clean up those dead links, but it does not seem to be re-verifying them.
It is kinda looking like it's done for the day.

The T1 links should be set to verify automatically at 1440 minutes. Most of us have enjoyed success using the formula to build 'x links submitted per day'. The overall tendency is to have a global verify-to-submit- ratio of about 20%. So if you want to build 10 verified links per day, then you submit 50 per day.
People that have screwed around with 'verified per day' have gotten some nasty surprises with too many links being built. @sven just brought up in another thread that if you do the 'verified per day' deal, then you may want to have verification set to every hour, etc. That way it nips things in the bud quickly.
No one on here has been advising to set a T1 to verify in 5 days. That is just incredibly dumb - for the reasons you stated above. Most here do 'submitted per day' on 'automatic 1440 minutes'
As far as re-verify, I do that manually once per week. Takes about 45 minutes depending on how many links you have to verify. Just stop SER, make all projects inactive, highlight all projects, right click, show URL's>verify>verify all URL's. It really isn't necessary more than once a week. If you do it within the project using one of those tick boxes, it will definitely slow down your posting.
I usually have all T1,T2,T3 set to verify automatically every 1440. On all the junk tiers like T1A,T2A,T3A, I disable verification, and usually do that once per week (manually) right before I re-verify. And to be quite honest, the only thing that needs re-verification are the T1T2T3 tiers as they have other links blasting at them, so you want to weed out the dead ones. As far as the junk tiers, I only re-verify solely to keep my project sizes smaller on SER and take up less memory - no other reason.
If it's automatically that the minutes doesn't meter. The verification will occur every few minutes. You can't modify the minutes box if you set verification to Automatically.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I saw you said 'If it is set to a different number, then just change the one setting to Custom, and then you can change the minutes. Then you can stick it back on Automatic.' but to me this makes no sense. Can you please clarify?
As to ser engines and their process I can't speak from experience so you have to ask the users. As far as their web properties, yes, they are solid.
