What is recommended for search engine submission scripts?

Ideally it would be nice to find one that could be run daily from a cron and grab new sites from a list each time.

Thanks,

Brad

Thanks for the replies.

Unfortunately, I don't know perl, or any other languages, so I am stuck with what is out there already. Perhaps I could spend a couple of bucks and get some work done.

What is the URL for dumptruck? I couldn't find it on any of the handy dandy things called search engines.

Thanks,

Brad

The previous post was a free download, what was wrong with that?

Brad

I think that Janet edited out the ad and replced it with the link to Jim's ad rates.

Janet: I like the idea of taking hte baltent advertizing out and giving a like to the rigth way to advertise.

I know that Janet censored the ad, the question is why?

I viewed the ad before it was censored, and it was in no more "advertising" than the Dump Truck link above.

[Sorry, you can not re-write the rules here]

Any ways, so much for free speech on the Internet, at least on SearchEngine Forums. Perhaps I will try elsewhere.

I (and perhaps other users) would like a further explanation as to why the post from XanthisHP was censored.

The post was no more of an advertisement than the post from Videoace which went unedited.

Other than that, the post did not breach any of the other stated rules, so one can only assume that it was one of the "unstated" rules. Or perhaps, there are "unstated" issues between the two parties?

Brad

The fact that we do not allow ads here is a "stated rule".

"Please note that advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are inappropriate in the Search Engine Forums."

No "further explanation" is needed. No ads. Period.

Do a search (all forums) for the differant programs available. You will get all the pro's and con's from a varity of users.

As for submission software, I personally use dump truck to submit my pages to the search engines. Dump truck is very powerful, don't abuse the power, or you run the risk of doing a lot more harm then good.

During the time of the post, Feb 2000, I felt my "free" program was essential to the search engine promotion environment since it supported 40 engines, live results with logged success pages (not some submit means sccess junk), Dump Truck like feature which you can submit more than one URL, simultaneous submissions to the SE (faster than old Dump Truck), and a host more features, all for free just like Dump Truck. I don't get paid at all for this so I didn't bother to pay Jim for ads as Janet said in my earlier post. Well, what I am trying to say here, if Jim could lighten up a bit on what sites can and cannot be posted as something for the search engine forums scene. Search engine promotion relies on other information outside this site. Well, there's my 2 cents. So I'll stop my rambling and shut up for now before I get in trouble.

BTW, I still have a demo up, so if anyone liked to see what the bad boy can do, just drop an email, and I'll send a link. The code was available at one point in time, but I don't think I will release it again, ever.

I don't remember the exact post that you put up back in Febuary, but I do see that I replied and thought that is was more of an ad than information. This was about a month before I stared moderating this forum and clairified the rules for posting. The way it has been explained to me is if you reply to a users question with your URL in your post that is fine. If you write a long post descibing the benifits of your program, site, or URL that is not going to fly.

Most people have thier main site in thier profiles, saying things like "I have a great script on my site, check my profile to see it." is also acceptable.

Now that I am here as moderator, I keep tighter control of what is going on. Back when this happened this forum needed a new moderator and the Admins were taking care of it (along with way too many other responsiblities). If your post has more information in it that sales pitch, I will tend to keep it in the forum.

Thanks, that does clear some things quite a bit. I think I do recall that the post in Feb was structured to some what, an ad. I believe I wrote it where I listed it's features (trying to compare with Dump Truck at the time) and that it was free which may have thrown Janet into removing the post.
Still, I didn't think it wasn't that bad enough to delete the post. Just the URL removal would be fine and the original poster could have emailed me about the script and I could have given him the URL.

Well, I can see how some URLs don't go modified by a moderator now. It sure does clear some grudges I had against this site for a while which shows with the number of posts I contribute. Well, I guess I might start posting back to this site. Thanks again SimpleEnigma for clearing up the matter.

I hope to see posts from you in the future, it sounds like you can add a lot to this and all of the other forums around here
