Questions
What is
SERPAssist (SA)?
SERPAssist is an Internet Marketing tool that helps you drive
your target pages (sometimes called money sites) higher in the
Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs). It does this by automating
your article marketing strategy. SERPAssist is NOT a bulk
spamming tool - there is no support, for example, to blast out
spammy blog comments, etc. Instead, SA is a tool to help you
implement your IM article marketing strategy.
What sites are
supported?
Here's the
current list
of supported sites.
Do I need to
create the accounts on the Web 2.0 sites?
Nope - SERPAssist fully automates the creation of new accounts
and the posting of articles to these accounts.
How is this any
different from other tools?
There are two distinct differences between SERPAssist and the
other tools that provide similar functionality.
The first is
SERPAssist is a "visual diagramming tool". This means you are
"drawing" your backlink strategy in a designer (like Visio).
SERPAssist records all your "tasks" and will then execute those
tasks automatically!
The second
difference is SERPAssist uses central servers to execute your
tasks. This means your tasks (account creation, confirmation,
posting, pinging, etc.) all happen in our data center - NOT on
your local PC. Create your backlink diagram, submit the tasks,
shut down your PC, go play in the pool with the kids, and when
you open SERPAssist you can check the status of your tasks.
What about
proxies - if you are submitting the tasks, won't the sites ban
your servers?
SERPAssist uses a rotation of over 300 proxies from a variety of
known providers. Further we limit the "tasks" on a proxy by site
so the success rate is excellent. Further, if a proxy is banned,
we simply remove it from rotation and your tasks execute on
another set of IP addresses.
Don't I need to
provide my own private proxies?
Nope - included in your monthly subscription is access to our
proxies. No hunting around the Internet for "proxy lists" or
paying a separate fee - we include this.
What about
decaptchas?
Also included in your monthly fee are 200 free decaptchas. If
you find you need more, we support 3 of the best decaptcha
service providers - simply choose a provider and enter your key
and SERPAssist will automatically use your decaptcha provider
once your monthly 200 are exhausted.
Why a monthly
fee? I'd prefer a one-time payment.
Just like you, I too license software and I would prefer to pay
once and be done with it. Honestly though, between the web sites
changing (sometimes 2 or 3 times a month) and the included
proxies and decaptchas, there is just no way I can charge a
one-time fee and support the product for the long haul. A
monthly subscription is really the only way to make this a
success for everyone.
Can I run
SERPAssist on multiple machines?
Yes, you are allowed 2 PC installs under the same account.
"Now that you are
a customer" Questions
Where is the
documentation?
When you installed SERPAssist, the "SERPAssist" Program
Group includes a link to the Getting Started Guide (a PDF)
please start with that - it'll get you going.
What are Target
Pages?
Each project can support up to 3 specific URLs that you are
trying to promote (and drive higher in the SERPs). Future
versions will support more than 3. For now, if you have more
than 3 pages on a given site you'd like to promote, you'll need
to create multiple projects.
What's a
Project?
Everything in SERPAssist is "project based". This is simply
a way to organize your plans and group tasks together. You can
only have one "project" open at a time in SERPAssist, but you
can have as many projects as you like.
What's the
story on Pinging?
SERPassist has a built in pinger. This is configured as a
"set and forget" feature. Just enable auto pinging and every URL
generated will get pinged automatically by the SACentral
servers. You do not have to do any else.
What about auto
bookmarking?
SERPassist has support for automatically creating (and pinging)
bookmark sites when you create a new Web 2.0 site. To do this:
1. Open a project
and create at least 1 bookmark account.
2. Click Options | General Settings and select the Bookmarks
tab.
3. Verify the option "Auto Bookmark Blogs" is selected (this is
the default)
4. In the Diagram, add a Bookmark node and attach it to each Web
2.0 blog node you create.
No need to do
anything more. Now, whenever a Web 2.0 site is created (and you
successfully post an article) a bookmark task will be created
(and added to each Bookmark node in the diagram). Just submit
those tasks and the SACentral servers will post a link to the
bookmark account(s) previously created.
What's next?
Well, there are LOTS of new features, not to mention tons of new
web sites, that are in the works. In particular the next major
release (2.0) is scheduled to go into Beta in the next few
weeks. Version 2.0 is a considerable update to SERPAssist and
will set the stage for even more features and functionality.
Stay tuned!
