A New Direction

1st Jan 2008



Eli and I have decided to take squirt in a new direction. Recently the amount of updates to squirt has not been up to the bar that we originally set for the squirt project.

 This is mostly due to our project load up until Jan..

 We are re-focusing on the entire squirt experience.

 We have set deadlines for squirt projects. We will release updates every 2 weeks. On the 15th, and the last day of the month.

 The first update in the batch of kick starting the squirt process is a revamp of the actual squirt submission tool. There are several new methods of promotion we are going to include in that. Also a revamp of a portion of the back end to increase efficency.

There are also several other major changes on the table for squirt.

Originally we let past members keep their “forum” account. However we have the need to reinstall the VBB (Posts will be saved) and recreate the accounts. This will fix the problem with the private messages, the editing of the posts and some other user functions in the forum. However by fixing that problem with the forum, the accounts that are not active subscriptions will not be able to be recreated.

This is the update scheduled for the end of january.

We would also like to get feedback on the idea of having a community vault. Exactly like the squirt vault, where you can download various tools and data files, the difference being that the content in that vault will be uploaded by other members in the community.

 There is no doubt that the quality of information within the squirt community is astounding.  The amount of knowledge within this community is beyond any possible expectations we ever conceived.

 With that in mind, I would like to extend a challenge to our little community. We need to double all of our income this year. We’re going to be more efficent, wider niched, higher converstions.

 I am very excited about 2008..

I look forward to seeying you guys in the forums.!

The queue system now allows you to delete things from the queue.

Also navigating within the menus should be easier with more inter-navigation.

Queue System (Beta) - Live now

22nd Nov 2007



Hey everyone,

 First off Happy Turkey day, hope everyone got a chance to hang out with their loved ones this holiday season.

 Second, due to popular demand we are proud to announce the queue system for squirt submissions. You can access this by clicking on Promote, and then “Enter Queue System”.

 There are 2 methods for queue’ing upcoming promotion. You can do the Mass Add technique which will allow you to queue large lists of sites/keywords quickly.

There is also the single add to queue option where you can add sites one at a time.

 The queue system will only submit your available submission.. In other words your limited to 10 submission per day.. The queue system will use your daily allowed submissions automatically.

 Also, we have some very cool projects in the works for everyone that are nearing completion. Look forward to more updates.

 Good Luck everyone!

    TrackbackPro searches for blog listings in a search engine. It makes a list of those results, then it goes to each of those pages and looks to see what kind of blog it is. It then either looks for the trackback URI on the page or it builds the url structure based on the determined type of blog.

    Once its determined its list of trackback URLS it then goes thru each of the urls and posts a trackback request

    After installationClick on Settings -> Manage Proxies -> Add Proxies

    Ticketed Support System

    13th Sep 2007



    We’ve now launched a ticketed support system.

     You can get to it by logging in and then clicking on Support on the menu system.

     This is to help us organize support issues. Lately due to the large amount of spam ending up in our email boxes some support emails have been missed. We’re hoping this support system will take care of that problem.

    We’ve also added a forgot password function to the main login page. It has also been put in the new support area reachable from the frontpage of squirt.

     Thanks guys,

    Rob

    Adding things and making changes!

    4th Sep 2007



    The userpanel now has the option to download the complete history of all past squirt submissions.

     It gives the

    URL - Keywords - Day Stamp

    Also now added to the vault is the highly anticipated RSS Exploiter

    What it does: It scrapes popular blog ping sites for a list of titles. You can grab 200k+ titles with the click of a button. Then it generates RSS output files with the titles, and your blog posts. It replaces the URL to the blog post, to your own URL so you get a link. Then these feeds are re-submitted to the popular places spam blogs look for content, so your re-published titles are picked up along with your blog post.

    For more details on how it works, look here:
    Blue Hat SEO-100’s Of Links/Hour Automated

    Features:

    • Has the potential to gain you thousands of backlinks, with your keywords included in the anchor text
    • Delete all adult titles with one click to ensure your sites TrustRank isn’t hurt
    • Delete characters like ¤,È,ˆ,ž, etc with one click
    • Pings four popular sites Spam blogs use, Technorati, Google Blogs, Feed Burner, and DayPop
    • Randomly alternates blog posts, so all the posts aren’t the same
    • Add a keyword/keyphrase to the end of each title, so your keyword is in the anchor text
    • Generates multiple large feeds in seconds
    • [Improvement]Multi-Threaded, so the interface doesn’t freeze up during big operations
    • Simple to use
    • A bargain for what it does.
    • Notifies you whether or not each ping was a success or failure
    • Delete phrases from all titles with one click
    • Generates valid rss .93 output
    • Has a wizard bar to help you through the entire process

    Cons:

    • The statistics are really lacking. All that is currently offered is to manually insert the number of links for each search engine to compare gains from when you started.
    • “Delete Duplicates” operation is not threaded, so it may freeze up the programs interface for a minute. When the duplicates are done being deleted it will work normally though.

    Stay tuned much more things are on the verge of being released.

    99.9% Uptime Guarantee!

    13th Aug 2007



    What about that .1%?

    That was this morning :)

    We had some bunny related issues early this morning. They are resolved. We are watching the SQUIRT server closely today to make sure no more fur flies. If anything happens we’ll throw some lettuce and carrots at it. Good to go! PS. No data or sites submissions were lost. Enjoy the rest of your day.

    -Eli

    Disclaimer: the uptime guarantee title was a joke; it in no way indicates any actual guarantee.
