Upcoming Changes
11th Jun 2007
Hey guys just wanted to let you all know about some upcoming changes we’ve discussed in the tools.
- We will be making a private forum for the SQUIRT toolset to handle questions and feedback, and general concept type stuff.
- The analysis tool will print out the text of whats it checking for and what the results are.
- I will make a installer script for the trackback solution script.. This will check your permissions and help you set it up.
These are all ideas that were submitted by the request section of the tool I do read all of these and once the mass of emails slow down I will personally respond to them to bounce ideas of the people that took time to write the suggestions. Thanks to all of you for that, and the community would also like to thank you.. They are good ideas and we’ll move on them..
I’d expect to see these changes by the end of next weekend. Would say by 6/23/07.
As always if you have any questions feel free to email me at rob(at)robstool.com
Thanks Guys,
Robert Moore
Added: Several Country Code TLDS are not functioning properly.. Will code in support for .co.uk , .ca and .ch

Great stuff Rob, that installer would be really handy, thank you.
steve
I’m looking forward to more informations from analysis tool because now I’m little confused from this tool
Ed
Hi, just wanted to put a suggestion. It would really help if you can let us know what the IP address of your server is, because my server is deciding what to give you based on your IP.
Thanks
chuckie
Ed,
I am also wanting confirmation of the IP. I was told 75.126.200.220 which is the IP Squirt is installed on, but I get no hits from that after promotion of a domain.
I get hits from lwp-trivial/1.41 75.126.199.186 which seems to hit the index page 4 times on a promotion and once on an analysis.
I thought it was supposed to crawl inner pages as well for the promotion, but I do not see that in my stats.

Thanks for all your hard work. I ran a test site that’s been stagnant for over a year through SQUIRT yesterday and I’m already seeing results.
Chris
Maybe put down a list of ideas you have not got the time to implement.
Then put it up for other people to implement.
If someone makes a tool worth going up, they get a months free subscription and everyone gets the benefit!
julien
thanks dude!
jack
Time to fill up Rob’s blog with all of our useless comments I guess… At this point I can’t how well the tool is working for me because I’m still running my standard promotion on all of my sites(and its only been 48hours). Because I throw up at least 10 new sites a day I generally have them all on the same stats account that way I can just make sure my numbers go up month to month overall, so I’m hoping over the next month to see a much larger increase than usual and if so assuming the script worked! So how’s everyone elses initial impressions? I can’t wait until there’s a forum up for all of us exclusive VIP types to comment on our results/ideas.

I see the comments section at bluehatseo are closed.
I just wanted to thank eli and his partners on a terrific lesson in online marketing. Give the people a quality product (blog, info, tools) for free to build trust. Then later upsell them. Use the “limited time”, “limited spots” call to action and reap the rewards of your work and patience.
$100 x 250 members = $25,000 per month recurring .. plus a waiting list (?). Fantastic.
The thing is these tools sound like they are worth the monthly membership. Everybody wins.
This blog (bluehatseo) is a nice companion piece to that Dan Raines $15,000 challenge blog last year. Both are must-reads.
Thanks again
John The Artist
I really like the idea Chris suggested, that sounds like an excellent plan to me.

Eli\Rob,
Doggone it! You just have to release something cool like this when I was busy with my day job and didn’t have the time to look at the blog in a while didn’t you? Care to let an overworked and underpaid US military member in the “back door”?
Matt
(Ducks rotten tomatoes from members that are already in)
I Used To Be Somebody
Agreed! I’m hoping that will be quite a bit of the activity in the private forum..
Beerhat
We should get a mascot, I think the bunny will do. And then we could shave our heads…and wear blue coveralls… where’s our church going to be built? I hear there’s a great compou…I mean ranch in eastern Texas.
LOL
Eli
John,
That wasn’t marketing that was just Rob and I wanting to do something kick ass and ground breaking.
If you want a lesson in marketing watch over the next month how we skyrocket the value of the membership despite allowing no increase in revenue. Squirt is going to climb so fast in demand people will swear it’s a Google stock.
Watch closely for some wicked and never seen before tools coming throughout the duration of this month.
jack
Question, did anyone ever figure out what exactly it means what it says adjusting promotion technique to your current trust level? Not sure if that’s the exact wording but just got that on the last 3 sites I submitted(all subdomains off of the same domain)

Twice I have had blank screens on promotion submit, after the script ran for several minutes. I assume someone is hammering the server?
My submits are in my panel list, but I have no confidence the script finished executing.
bloard
So exactly what happens if I submit a site more than once because I’m in the same boat as guerilla having gotten a blank screen after submission.
Also, can I submit internal “hub” pages without it affecting the bang I get through my top level domain submission?
Mike the Madman
The tool works VERY well. I track everything with Web CEO (I’m “onlinethrills” in the BHSEO blog), and I’ve seen some SIGNIFICANT jumps in the right direction ;p
And I thought I was the genius…
markj
Rob&Eli, Thanks for putting this site together!
Is there anywhere I can get support for the trackback tool? I don’t think it’s quite working correctly.
jay
Eli,
Any idea with the installer for the trackback tool will be ready? Itching to go
Alex
Hello,
I’ve been having some trouble with Trackback Solution in the vault. I was getting an error message in msn.pl when it executed threads->detach. I commented this out and things seemed fine but it always says “tried to post trackback to 0 sites”.
Are there any known issues/bugs with trackback solution? Is there a place we can ask some questions about it?
Thanks.
rob
Guys I’m working on stuff literally at an insane pace.. This weekend I have alot of friends graduating and so i’m in and out of the office. I’ve set aside some time this weekend to work on my huge todo list..
There will be some changes this weekend, and some more next weekend.
(I don’t know why, but it seems like my most productive time is sitting on my back patio coding on a laptop heh)
jack
anyone else having a problem with squirt today? I get the same error on every submit
still adding them to my userpanel as if they were done but I’m doubting they are
ADDED BY ROB:
Jack I was uploading the latest versions of squirt, this caused some minor hiccups for about 10 min while I was uploading the new modules.
Sean
Yea I’m getting this error:
Software error:
Can’t call method “getDocumentElement” on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/XML/RSS/LibXML/Parser.pm line 73.
For help, please send mail to the webmaster (webmaster (at) squirt.robstool.com), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.
I sent a email to the email to let them know to the address listed above and to the email address that the account activation email was sent from.
ADDED BY ROB:
Yes this is something I fixed. 6/16/07
Abidi
Yes, after I hit the add site button an internal server error is the next screen.
guerilla
I hope they concentrate on getting all of the bugs out, the documentation done etc. New tools are great, but it’s not going to keep people subscribed if SQUIRT has problems.
jack
Well it was working fantastically for me until today
already got a bunch of sites on page1 so it’s paid for itself a few times over in the first week but I was sad because it’s not working today.
John
Eli, for those of us who are not using all our daily submissions, are we allowed to sell them? I was so eager to sign-up I didnt read any terms and conditions, if there were any!
john
well i never had any luck with the free sqiirt tool but it is obvious that the people that run this site are pretty sharp…so i took a sho,and signed u!.t.i did a test with several sites that google had not indexed.the paRKING COMPANY where they are,does some shit to get them indeexd pretty quick (within 3 weeks) usually but a few didn”t..observation…?i had been trying to backlink many of my sites(authority)to other sites of mine but frustratingly,no discovery of the site links by google for 3 months…..s.all of a sudden, some of my sites show up with 100 links.A couple have 300 links.now i am worried about google baned sities problem(link exchange bs)!..This tool is like a kangaroo deflector was it the tool or coinciedence?.but i am thinking it works after 3 days.
Eli
John,
We have not formed a policy either way when it comes to selling submits.
Sam
Hi Rob,
I see you’ve added more SEO information to the tool. I’m sure you’re going to get a few people asking this but I’ll just go ahead and ask anyway: What do “Link Structure” and “Saturation” mean? And what can we do to improve it?
Abidi
OK seems like I’m an exception.
I’ve submitted 6 sites, and I see zero results, no new backlinks, no se position improvements
I submitted them monday and on wednesday.
I’m totally disappointed thus far.
Eli, a manual check for my sites would be great. But I didn’t get a reply from you the mail I sent some days ago.
Thanks
Mike the Madman
The tool works INCREDIBLY well and shows SIGNIFICANT results after a day across a number of my sites or sites that I manage. But I’ll also say that most of the sites I’m submitting stand pretty well on their own (not scraper sites, adsense only sites, build-in-five-minutes sites, etc.) and are often on the first page of Google already.
Mike the Madman
For those who find some of the seo terms foreign, checking out the articles at http://www.seochat.com might not be a bad place to look.
Eli
Abidi,
Sorry your email must have slipped through the spam mail filter. Please resend and I’ll be happy to respond. Also please include the sites you’ve submitted so far, I’d like to take a look and let you know if I see anything odd.
Thanks,
Eli
erkan
does the 100$ not include access to the vault or the trackback tool for SQUIRT?
guerilla
We’ve lost the results portion of the Submit process.
What’s the preferred method of reporting problems and/or asking questions? Email?
Eli
Guerilla,
thanks. as of now you seem to be the only one getting that. Shoot an email using the requests section or send one to rob at robstool.com
thanks
