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!
@blackhat I would venture to guess that most sellers are "dodgy" because what your asking is basically useless and misrepresentative of the truth. For example here is 1 project I have
But I have many projects per server and I have many servers, all producing lists. I use multiple methods of list production and use some projects only for particular methods and/or platforms or types of engines. So no 1 project is going to give you a accurate detail or picture.
What your asking for is much less helpful and informative then the current live stats. This is especially true on a service like mine vs a 1 off list, because I constantly filter out dead targets and add new ones.
Anyway the screenshot is above, for the little that its worth.
Im having 0 verified submission.. Its running for 12 hours already.. I have set to a very low obl around 50 and high pr around 3 and tick the avoid subdomian and no follow..
I am also getting no forms at all.. How can i avoid no forms?
firstly, thanks for showing the stats. Secondly, the show graph tool is anything but useless. Unlike showing a a list of platforms with inflated numbers of targets (which is truly useless), the show graph option actually shows the success rate, number of uniques, and the breakdown of engines. It's called PROOF that at one point or another, the list had the success rate and stats that are advertised. by your logic, even "current stats" are useless because you're constantly filtering out dead targets and adding new ones. anyways, i'm not here to argue, just trying to find someone that can back up what they claim.
@blackhat I don't follow your logic, I guess thats not how I look at it. But if it works for you then more power to you.
@Molex Those are fairly aggressive filters, is your PR filter on the domain or the url?
No forms just happen sometimes, if the page doesn't load, if the target is down/dies/changes cms to one thats nto compatible etc..
login failed sounds like the account is created but then you can't login. This could happen for various reasons. It could be your proxies being blocked or their geo local, it could be the account data is bad, it could be that you changed something in the project.
Are you getting login failed for your email accounts or your actual link building targets or?
Hmm im using reverseproxies. It changes proxies every 10 mins.. Do you suggest this? And also with regards email i have changed it to a new email from @BanditIM nokia mails..
Well @loopline my filters are set to url not domain as i find it much more relevant to metrics this days compare to domain.. Whats your advice?
@Molex Well using a PR 3+ url filter is going to nuke out most contextual targets. I mean I don't know what url GSA uses from the CMS to determine the PR, but I would venture to guess its the starting url.
So when I create the list I build a test link on a given domain, say domain xyz.com With a contextual target its going to create its own sub page for me so like
xyz.com/loopline/post1.htm
that xyz.com/loopline/post1.htm is brand new and is not going to have pr, especially since google has said there may never be another pr udpate and pr is near or over a year since its been updated in the first place.
That aside, if you set it at a url filter then GSA is likely going to check to see if that newly created page by me has a pr 3+ and it will not so then it will not post to it. So by setting contextual targets to PR3+ on url level you effectively filter every single contextual target out right there, so your success rate is going to be extremely low at best.
it seems the organization of the folder has become quite chaotic. Before the list was broken down by platform and lists were grouped together like this. For example, all Blog Comment lists were kept together in the folder.
It's not like that at all now. After looking through the file list it seems there are random text files in there possibly added by other people or something? For example, in my folder there are files with names like sitelist_blah.txt, sitelist_fruitshow.txt and so on.
This is making it quite difficult to use the service. Is there plans to improve this?
i joined using the list on nov 29. Immediately installed the list and setup sync box. Ran the list on 10 new campaigns, and immediately i noticed alot of download failed errors and i go into the folders to look and see all kinds of funky folders with weird names.Not even close to what he claims for list being synced and updated. Probably more like 5000 links being added a month, i based this on my 2 weeks of using the list at roughly 1000 new links a week, and i wont even give it that. is this list a joke?
So a few days ago, i cancelled my subscription and using the list for about 2 weeks, after i paid for a full month and he locks me out of the site and removes me from box sync AFTER I ALREADY PAID FOR THE WHOLE MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm getting the same issue with some dudes above. The list is being sharing and uploading by someon, there are many file with the wrong name in verified list. So SER can not pull URLs from it. Please check this issue, i think it comes from the Box synced and other people overwrite their own verified list in Blue Box Synced folder.
Yes, same for me. Yesterday there was no one file inside the Box for all day, so I could'nt use the list all day. When finally the files came back, low quality because many submissions but around 1% verified....
Received the invite to Dropbox folders, does it mean you are now moving the member list to Dropbox - if so great because i already use Dropbox on all my VPS's.. I assume you will update those daily.
Also can u confirm that we have 2 list: AAM Live Sync Identified (G2) nd AAM Live Sync Verified (G2) -- or are there any other.
mdsurf Which folder are you talking about? The Identified?
I messed up the filter run for a short period and filtered them by platform rather then by group-platform. But it should still all be readable by SER. Im moving the entire sync service at the moment but Ill take a look shortly.
@rad I believe you are skewing the facts and providing half the truth here. For example your box sync account was still active, I just now deactivated it. The website auto deactivates when paypal passes the IPN data saying that you cancelled, but I always turn it back on for anyone that wants access. Most people don't care because I leave the sync active until the day after they are paid thru, which is what I would have done with you.
You are refunded though and now cancelled from sync as well. I always stand by my product and and while there was indeed a box.com sync issue what was out of my control and a GSA SER issue that was out of my control, and I believe some user error on your part, I would still rather people be happy with my service or get a refund and go elsehwere. Like I said, you are refunded. The download failed aborted issues were a SER issue that everyone that uses SER was having and its not fixed.
There are no folders at all in the main list, only the text files. Box.com is currently providing the sync service, and they are doing a poor job I agree, which is why I am now using dropbox. The testers report its better from every angle and the entire network is switching shortly, its actually running on both, but its running better on dropbox.
@paisit@lamylam@peterperseo box.com is being non functional is what happened. Hence the complete switch to dropbox. I did everything in my power to force it to sync, but I can't control their backend.
@Molex How fast do you have it login to post articles after the account is created?
@royalmice Yes box has been faily badly, which is the reason for the dropbox move. Along the way I discovered that box was using about 10 times the physical resources (on average) as dropbox uses, plus dropbox handles quantity sync exponentially better then box, which makes it much faster. There are multiple other pros with Dropbox, at this stage its a total win for everyone all the way around.
Glad you like Dropbox.
Yes there are 2 lists, Verified and Identified (at this stage). Later there will be a 3rd list for reCaptcha/text captcha but I had to put it off while I test a quantifiable way to isolate them. But yes 2 lists at the moment.
The Dropbox folders are set on live update, they will get updates every few mins (depending on your connection, but on a vps it will be fast so every few mins).
Ok, thanks, I already read your email about this change. While I'm waiting the new tutorials ot instructions that you said you will write on your website, I'm already trying to use the 2 new list.
Just a quick information, please.
The folder "Verified" I suppose is the one we have to connect with the "Identified" (also called "submitted") port of Ser. But what about your second folder "Identified G2"? What we can do of that? Are the urls on that folder already included on the other "Verified G2" folder or are different urls?
@peterperseo I have a video that details what the identified folder is for in the members area, it mentions box but as for what the folder is and what all the various uses are, thats all the same.
The verified folder would go in submitted slot or slot 2 and the identified folder "could" go in the identified slot or slot 1 (if you don't sort lists in with the feature in GSA SER tools) else it could go in the failed slot or slot 4, or you don't have to use it at all.
@theorbital Glad your enjoying the switch. Ive gotten only positive feedback from everyone about it. It was indeed a resource hog, a large one.
I actually had a user tell me today about an issue I had. With box it was so slow I had to build in delays in some of my process or it wouldn't be able to sync out things properly. Dropbox is so fast, its processing things and setting there waiting doing nothing for 20 seconds while my delay runs, so now I had to speed things back up because dropbox is so fast. Thats the kind of progress I like.
@Molex, 900 should be fine. I would let SER do its thing on verifying, but sometimes it takes 2-3 days before links get approved and show up verified, but often its much quicker of course.
Have you switched over to dropbox? Do you find it any better and causing less errors?
so setting it more than 1440 minutes? yes i did swtch to dropbox and yes i got less errors now.. but still there are some errors do you advice on building links to each verfied urls even its not yet indexed? or it should be indexed before you can linnk build on it like for tiers
@molex Well its a tricky thing, if you change it you will probably pick up more links, but it will seem slower for the first day or two. You can experiment and see what you think. Glad you get less errors.
Definitely build links to it. If its not indexed, building links to it will likely get it indexed.
Did some solid improvements this past week and upped the daily link build count by 500-1000 additional verifieds per day. I hope to do the same thing this week and then add 2 additional servers in a couple weeks.
1 server is offline at the moment, has been for a couple days, tech difficulty but it will be fixed shortly.
Also in the past week I updated the frequency of list updates. Previously duplicate urls and domains were removed once daily. Now duplicate urls and domains are removed automatically every 10 mins, these changes should marginally improve success speeds when building links.
@Scaramanga Yes thats correct, although I have ramped up production since. I remove bad sites every 1-3 times per month on average. Although its time to do it again right now.
@theorbital yes I am adding them in. I see that there is a new SER version just the past couple days so I haven't got everything setup for any platforms that may have been done up with it, but as a general rule I have new platforms added in 7 days or less after SER starts supporting them and often times its done in the first day or two after they start supporting them.
@loopline - your lists are rocking for me no complaints! - I think some users need to DO instead of worrying about minor details. The sites Im ranking now is due to full automation and hours of tweaking on SER. You are saving me hours or headache scraping when now I can crack on with what Im good at
Comments
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?
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.

As noted contextuals are light at this moment, but that is changing soon.
Sure, I mailed you back, probably the best way, else Ill pm you as this isn't really the right thread for it.
Hey Matt,

@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.
You posted

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.
@flemingoh
Sorry mate, behind on mails.
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.
are you on holiday? I am trying to reach you.

Max
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.
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.
@MaX
Thanks!
@shaun
Thanks for signing up! I sent you invite for the live sync back when you signed up, but just wanted to say, glad to have you onboard!
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.
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.
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.
Thanks
@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.
I would venture to guess that most sellers are "dodgy" because what your asking is basically useless and misrepresentative of the truth. For example here is 1 project I have
http://s19.postimg.org/q683j8m2b/123.jpg
But I have many projects per server and I have many servers, all producing lists. I use multiple methods of list production and use some projects only for particular methods and/or platforms or types of engines. So no 1 project is going to give you a accurate detail or picture.
What your asking for is much less helpful and informative then the current live stats. This is especially true on a service like mine vs a 1 off list, because I constantly filter out dead targets and add new ones.
Anyway the screenshot is above, for the little that its worth.
Im having 0 verified submission.. Its running for 12 hours already.. I have set to a very low obl around 50 and high pr around 3 and tick the avoid subdomian and no follow..
I am also getting no forms at all.. How can i avoid no forms?
I don't follow your logic, I guess thats not how I look at it. But if it works for you then more power to you.
@Molex
Those are fairly aggressive filters, is your PR filter on the domain or the url?
No forms just happen sometimes, if the page doesn't load, if the target is down/dies/changes cms to one thats nto compatible etc..
login failed sounds like the account is created but then you can't login. This could happen for various reasons. It could be your proxies being blocked or their geo local, it could be the account data is bad, it could be that you changed something in the project.
Are you getting login failed for your email accounts or your actual link building targets or?
Well @loopline my filters are set to url not domain as i find it much more relevant to metrics this days compare to domain.. Whats your advice?
Well using a PR 3+ url filter is going to nuke out most contextual targets. I mean I don't know what url GSA uses from the CMS to determine the PR, but I would venture to guess its the starting url.
So when I create the list I build a test link on a given domain, say domain xyz.com With a contextual target its going to create its own sub page for me so like
xyz.com/loopline/post1.htm
that xyz.com/loopline/post1.htm is brand new and is not going to have pr, especially since google has said there may never be another pr udpate and pr is near or over a year since its been updated in the first place.
That aside, if you set it at a url filter then GSA is likely going to check to see if that newly created page by me has a pr 3+ and it will not so then it will not post to it. So by setting contextual targets to PR3+ on url level you effectively filter every single contextual target out right there, so your success rate is going to be extremely low at best.
I'm getting the same issue with some dudes above. The list is being sharing and uploading by someon, there are many file with the wrong name in verified list. So SER can not pull URLs from it. Please check this issue, i think it comes from the Box synced and other people overwrite their own verified list in Blue Box Synced folder.
I am getting tons of login failed (sorry, username, or password)
Yesterday there was no one file inside the Box for all day, so I could'nt use the list all day. When finally the files came back, low quality because many submissions but around 1% verified....
Received the invite to Dropbox folders, does it mean you are now moving the member list to Dropbox - if so great because i already use Dropbox on all my VPS's.. I assume you will update those daily.
Also can u confirm that we have 2 list: AAM Live Sync Identified (G2) nd AAM Live Sync Verified (G2) -- or are there any other.
Many thanks for dropping Box, never liked them.
Which folder are you talking about? The Identified?
I messed up the filter run for a short period and filtered them by platform rather then by group-platform. But it should still all be readable by SER. Im moving the entire sync service at the moment but Ill take a look shortly.
@rad
I believe you are skewing the facts and providing half the truth here. For example your box sync account was still active, I just now deactivated it. The website auto deactivates when paypal passes the IPN data saying that you cancelled, but I always turn it back on for anyone that wants access. Most people don't care because I leave the sync active until the day after they are paid thru, which is what I would have done with you.
You are refunded though and now cancelled from sync as well. I always stand by my product and and while there was indeed a box.com sync issue what was out of my control and a GSA SER issue that was out of my control, and I believe some user error on your part, I would still rather people be happy with my service or get a refund and go elsehwere. Like I said, you are refunded. The download failed aborted issues were a SER issue that everyone that uses SER was having and its not fixed.
There are no folders at all in the main list, only the text files. Box.com is currently providing the sync service, and they are doing a poor job I agree, which is why I am now using dropbox. The testers report its better from every angle and the entire network is switching shortly, its actually running on both, but its running better on dropbox.
@paisit @lamylam @peterperseo
box.com is being non functional is what happened. Hence the complete switch to dropbox. I did everything in my power to force it to sync, but I can't control their backend.
@Molex
How fast do you have it login to post articles after the account is created?
@royalmice
Yes box has been faily badly, which is the reason for the dropbox move. Along the way I discovered that box was using about 10 times the physical resources (on average) as dropbox uses, plus dropbox handles quantity sync exponentially better then box, which makes it much faster. There are multiple other pros with Dropbox, at this stage its a total win for everyone all the way around.
Glad you like Dropbox.
Yes there are 2 lists, Verified and Identified (at this stage). Later there will be a 3rd list for reCaptcha/text captcha but I had to put it off while I test a quantifiable way to isolate them. But yes 2 lists at the moment.
The Dropbox folders are set on live update, they will get updates every few mins (depending on your connection, but on a vps it will be fast so every few mins).
While I'm waiting the new tutorials ot instructions that you said you will write on your website, I'm already trying to use the 2 new list.
Just a quick information, please.
The folder "Verified" I suppose is the one we have to connect with the "Identified" (also called "submitted") port of Ser. But what about your second folder "Identified G2"? What we can do of that? Are the urls on that folder already included on the other "Verified G2" folder or are different urls?
Thanks
I have a video that details what the identified folder is for in the members area, it mentions box but as for what the folder is and what all the various uses are, thats all the same.
The verified folder would go in submitted slot or slot 2 and the identified folder "could" go in the identified slot or slot 1 (if you don't sort lists in with the feature in GSA SER tools) else it could go in the failed slot or slot 4, or you don't have to use it at all.
@theorbital
Glad your enjoying the switch. Ive gotten only positive feedback from everyone about it. It was indeed a resource hog, a large one.
I actually had a user tell me today about an issue I had. With box it was so slow I had to build in delays in some of my process or it wouldn't be able to sync out things properly. Dropbox is so fast, its processing things and setting there waiting doing nothing for 20 seconds while my delay runs, so now I had to speed things back up because dropbox is so fast. Thats the kind of progress I like.
How fast do you have it login to post articles after the account is created?
@loopline i set it to 900
and also how long do you expect for the links to get verfied? just a thought
900 should be fine. I would let SER do its thing on verifying, but sometimes it takes 2-3 days before links get approved and show up verified, but often its much quicker of course.
Have you switched over to dropbox? Do you find it any better and causing less errors?
yes i did swtch to dropbox and yes i got less errors now..
do you advice on building links to each verfied urls even its not yet indexed? or it should be indexed before you can linnk build on it like for tiers
Well its a tricky thing, if you change it you will probably pick up more links, but it will seem slower for the first day or two. You can experiment and see what you think. Glad you get less errors.
Definitely build links to it. If its not indexed, building links to it will likely get it indexed.
1 server is offline at the moment, has been for a couple days, tech difficulty but it will be fixed shortly.
Also in the past week I updated the frequency of list updates. Previously duplicate urls and domains were removed once daily. Now duplicate urls and domains are removed automatically every 10 mins, these changes should marginally improve success speeds when building links.
Here are the current stats:

Yes thats correct, although I have ramped up production since. I remove bad sites every 1-3 times per month on average. Although its time to do it again right now.
@theorbital
yes I am adding them in. I see that there is a new SER version just the past couple days so I haven't got everything setup for any platforms that may have been done up with it, but as a general rule I have new platforms added in 7 days or less after SER starts supporting them and often times its done in the first day or two after they start supporting them.
