I have a similar question: I'm running on a single pc but from time to time i need to re-install the OS. Will it work ok after re-installing?? Thanks.

jayuk76

wouldnt it be better if the software used varied IP Addresses to do its thing? Even using a Proxy you are still doing numnerous tasks on the same IP...the value could be multiplied if it was working from varied IPs for each task? or have I missed something?

apollo_69

Hi Casey, I bought the software a couple of days ago and have been running it non-stop (2 instances - 1 on get popular, 1 on sniper mode, both on the same domain / keywords with 50 threads running) but not seeing any improvement in the ranking.....am thinking it's because the proxies aren't local, I'm targeting singapore websites and I can't even load any in manually so would like to know if/when you are planning a release with localised proxy lists? Otherwise as cool as this software sounds it's not much use to me....please let me know if I'm doing something else wrong as I'd hate to be missing out on all the fun!

caseyallen

@packjack , you can minimize the software, and it'll run in the background.

@winsonong, It sounds like your keywords aren't saving. Are you clicking on the domain First, then adding the keywords for that domain?

@ddev, Thank you very much -))

It doesn't save cookies. =) So no worries.

Rotating browser agents is in the next update. Is that what you're talking about?

If not, I apologize I'm running on 3 hours of sleep lol.

@gotti, Great idea!! Will add that in an upcoming update. =))

@thesecret , dl & activation sent!

@packjack, I just sent you another license to use, once you use that successfully the system will automatically deactivate the previous license.

@ddev, It should work after reinstalling. But if not just shoot me a PM, ticket or email and I'll send you another out immediately.

@jayuk76, I'm not familiar with that. Tell me more info about how that would work.

@appolo_69, I plan to implement scraping & filtering the proxies in an upcoming update for proxy sniper.

But at the moment, it's just proxies from around the world. It seems to be doing the trick for me, and my websites are U.S. based, and the proxies are global.

Although I'm not sure about singapore websites. They may indeed need localised proxies.

Anyone other SEsnipers from singapore? (Got that term from Bronke) =D

Also, the ranking improvement time frame seems to vary greatly. It may take up to a month or so to see improvements. From my experience anyway.

desireeaib

This must be run on Mac? I have a PC but trying to move everything to Mac.

Is there a time on site feature yet?

apollo_69

Thanks Casey, please keep us posted on the localised proxy release, i will keep trying using your list in the meantime....it would be good if you extended the money back guarantee to 30 days if that's how long it can take to see results, just think that's fair.

Also I just tried restarting the software again and it's prompting for the activation code, and not accepting when I enter it, can you please take a look?

Transaction ID: 37L70775J7714882W

ETA: btw i edited your search engine config file to the Singapore versions of google and yahoo, thought that might help but still no luck yet....

Cheers!

Luke Gregory

On ''Average'' how long does it take to see a improvment??

ddev

Rotating browser agents is in the next update. Is that what you're talking about?

Right, Rotating Browser Agents (just the more popular). That would help a lot.

ddev

Hi Jayuk76,

If i'm not wrong there are different type of proxies...

- Transparent: They expose your IP.
Personal Comment: Big Sites Will Easily Detect this if you use a software like SESniper a lot.

- Anonymous: Identifies itself as a Proxy Server "Hey! I'm a Proxy" ... but your IP is not exposed. Personal Comment: Similar to the Previous Option.

- High Anonymity Proxy:Doesn't identify itself as a proxy server to other sites (looks natural), and doesn't expose your IP. Personal Comment: This is a Good Option.

You can easily see what sites like Google see (IP and host) if you go like sites like this: http://www.spyber.com/

IMHO... the type of proxies you use should make a difference.

Just in case, this site (free), checks your proxy lists and tells you which sites are don't work and which work (+ if they are transparent or not):

http://www.checker.freeproxy.ru/checker/

Best Regards,

Diego.

Hi Casey,
Yes, I did clicked on the domain before adding the keywords.

I think you probably too busy to handling so many queries about the program until overlook my questions previously.

Basically I have 3 questions:
1) there are files domainname.keywords auto generate on desktop. Can we change the file location?

2) I also facing a situation that the keywords list missing whenever I go to "Setting" tab to delete Proxy list ( Ctrl+A then follow by Del button) before load fresh set of proxy list.

3) I saw "Loop" appear under Domain list. What is the "Loop" means?

-----------------------

About the 1st question, you been answered me at thread #343:
"The file that is saved on your desktop, should be being saved in your sesniper program files directory. Try running it as admin, and let me know the outcome."

I read again your previous thread and found that my 1st issue is similar to your testing scenario which you mentioned in thread #126.

For your info, I set myself as administrator for this desktop computer and I have full-control of this PC. Unfortunately, this issue remain the same.

I also found a thread from @crete at thread #178 about how to run this program as admin, let me copy his method and paste below:
1. Close the program
2. Right click the icon and go to properties
3. Select Compatability Tab
4. Check the box at the bottom that says "run this program as administrator".

I tried to follow but there is NO option of "run this program as administrator".

I am not sure is this due to I have using different OS compare to @crete. The OS I am using is WinXP.

It would be much appreciate if you could address my issues.

winsonong

Hi @ddev,
I am confuse about your suggestion. Do you mean that we shall check the proxy list given by @casey ?

There are about 200 ip in the proxy list, we have to check one by one in in Online proxy checker: online check HTTP and SOCKS proxy lists. Free SOCKS proxies, free HTTP proxies lists. ?

ddev

Hi Winsonong,

What i suggest it's just a personal opinion. I wouldn't drive 1K or 2K hits per day - just to say something - with transp. proxies. I'd slow down and try to mix those proxies with HA proxies. Again, this is something personal (more considering that Google...is Google).

Proxy Tool: I didn't have time to install it yet, so can't talk about it but the checker i've posted it's a bulk checker (can copy-n-paste).

By the way, there are sites that sell large lists of HA Proxies (some work with a subscription) but can't remember them right now. If someone knows one, please post.

winsonong

Hi ddev,
thanks a lot for your info sharing

caseyallen

@desireeaib, Currently the app only works on Windows.

The time on site feature is in the next update.

@apollo_69 Pming you.

@Prestige Seo, an average of 2 weeks. Most people see it in less, much less. But it took one of my sites 7 weeks, so I have to be honest. =)

@ddev, It's coming.

-----------

About the proxies questions...

Proxy Sniper scrapes Anonymous and High Anonymity proxies.

Is this what jayauk76 meant by varied proxies?

Or did he mean many different proxies. In which case yes Proxy Sniper scrapes many different ones, and then tests them to see if they're working.

@winsonong...

1) It shouldn't even be putting it on your desktop, unless that's the only place it has permission to save files.

2) Same as above, if you don't have appropriate permissions it won't save your keywords. I don't think it has anything to do with deleting the proxies.

Try and add the domain, then keywords. Then add another domain. Now go back and click on the previous domain. Do you still see your keywords?

If not, it's not saving to your computer. That means your computer isn't giving the app the appropriate permission to write files to your computer.

3) Loop means where it's at in all your domains/keywords/search engines.

When it does it's job it'll start back over.

I'm not sure what it'll say with Windows XP. Are there any other windows XP users using se sniper?

Will it say "Run as Administrator", or will he have to go to the compatibility Tab?

With Windows 7 and Vista, you can simply right click on the icon, and "Run as Administrator", it's at the top. The "Properties" option is at the bottom.

@ddev, I believe HideMyAss has a subscription. I think it's a one-time $25 to keep getting them every month. ?? I'm not sure.

ddev

Thanks for the info Casey. Good to know it only scans A./H.A. Proxies.

One question - don't know if someone asked before, but it's becoming too long to read ... Is it possible to enter a full url to boost?

For example suppose there are 2 ezine articles (one from a competitior on Page 1 and another one from me on page 3) and i want SS to boost mine only of course. Is this possible? (to enter a full url to boost). How many pages will it check until it finds the entered url?

Once again, sorry if i'm asking something you've previously answered.

Thanks.

Diego.

Chris Baxter

I have Windows XP Pro, and it works absolutely fine - no need to login as an admin.

caseyallen

@ddev. You're welcome. :-) And no problem.. if you have question, I'll answer it, even if it's been asked. No worries.

Yes you can enter any url, not just the main domain. You can have subdomains, article urls, youtube urls, etc

It'll check 10 pages to find your url. If yours is on page 3 it'll find it.

Also, if anybody's urls aren't indexed for a specific keyword, run "Get Popular" to get it indexed.

--------

@woggy, Thanks!

Chris Butterworth

Yep.. tried the Proxy Sniper...works fast and clean... Come get your proxies!! LOL

kevintg1

so it only checks 10 pages
then gives up

Casey
I was wondering if you had plans to implement Sheduling into the application, where we can schedule when it runs, how long and what mode the software functions in.
Also scheduling by project.

Since the program needs to run periodically to maintain the rankings this might make that easier to do that.

Also I subscribe to a software that backlinks and works in a browser like yours does, the new release of this software is going to be able to perform the functions in the background without actually opening the browser / multithreaded. Not sure how this happens but do you think this background, non browser functionality could ever make it in to your software...


thanks

MisterE

Casey,

What is the upgrade policy, will current purchasers be eligible for free future updates?

And a question for current users. My ISP has a cap on monthly bandwidth. Does anyone have any idea how much bandwidth this program uses?

TIA,
Mark

Vibrant Warrior

I noticed that you have an interesting software called Backlink Nuke. Do you have a WSO for that yet? And how effective would you say the two are when used together?

Thanks.

caseyallen

@kevintg1, OK, I asked my coder, and was waiting for the official answer from him.

It searches 150 results in google, that's 15 pages.

--------

@imageworx, Yes, I believe someone else requested that too, and a pause button.

I've got the next 2 updates in the works, but I will definitely have it in my features list. I'll keep you guys posted on which features will be in which updates.

-------

@MisterE, all updates of v1 of the software are free.

And v1 customers can upgrade to v2 for $7. I tried to make it as cheap as possible.. but still be able to cover the software development fees.

v2 for new customers will be $77 for warriors, $127 for others.

There's something very cool coming in v2. I can't say just yet, as my coder has to make sure it's completely possible.

You guys are goin to love it.

--------

@Vibrant Warrior, It should be ready any day now. This backlink software is unlike any other as it'll be Super easy to use. That's why it's taking so long. It's an absurd amount of work in the code, to make it so easy on the front end.

caseyallen

Hey guys, I have to run to the store before the big snow tonight. I won't be gone more than 2 hours. Any orders or questions, I'll get to as soon as I get in.

Will P

How often do you recommend we update the proxy list?

Chris Baxter

Casey suggests twice a day.

Randy Miller

Thanks gotti3636,

I had been on the fence about this, but based on the results you've had, I'd be a fool not to dive in.

chestmary

Edit - Disregarding message below - Apparently when I initially erased a space which appeared in the confirmation box it freaked MySql out, I tried again without removing space and it worked.

Hi Casey,

Sent you an email to SEsniper <sesnipercom@gmail.com> re: activating the software.

Big snows - it's what I dislike about living in the Northeast

Thanks
Mary

qalott

@caseyallen i have pm you ... please reply to that asap...

[QUOTE=caseyallen;2960332
@hbnavajo, Yes it'll run in the background, on autopilot. It's very 'lightweight', it won't bog down your computer's resources.

I'm running it right now, and it's using "34,144k" of resources. Just to give you an idea of how much that is... My windows mail is using "551,804k", and my Yahoo Messenger is "80,688k".

Right now, it doesn't count as hits on any statistics or analytics. I wrote about that in more detail in post #315 up above (page 7). It's explains about javascript.

In the next version, it WILL count as a hit/visit, and you'll be able see these in statistics.

The app is mostly to increase search engine popularity therefore increasing rankings. But in the next version it could be used to generate fake traffic. Your referrers will always be from whatever search engines you select.[/QUOTE]

Hi Casey

Nifty Software it seems but may I suggest you rethink about it counting fake traffic . Unscrupulous users may use the fake traffic to inflate the sale prices of their websites.

Secondly Google might start counting the impressions and this could add false adsense earnings. Some users adsense accounts could be shut down if that happens. Besides I am sure your intention is not to generate false income for users.

Thanks

Will P

You have a recommended site to purchase the proxy lists from, and which do you prefer socks4 or socks5?

ddev

Thanks for your fast response Casey.

One thing that could help is to add more proxies to the proxy scraper (maybe from different sources) since i found that most of them don't pass the proxy filters (not the one that comes with the software, but with some like http://www.checker.freeproxy.ru/checker/) + i couldn't find A/H.A. Proxies (maybe changing the source could help).

I consider the proxy tool you give as a bonus (i think the main thing we all have to focus here is your app - Sesniper), that's why i don't worry so much about this (besides, many of us hav tools like Scrapebox that help to get proxies and so on), but if you can enhance this bonus tool, it will help a lot.

I wouldn't put this as a priority, but would add it to future updates

Best Regards,

Diego.

Vibrant Warrior

How many proxies do you recommend using at any given time? And what happens if I just allocate a large pool of proxies and let it just run without prompting to switch proxies or plug in a fresh list? Are they likely to get banned that way?

caseyallen

@MicroNicheBuilder, I recommend at Least once a day. If not 2-3 times a day.

But from testing once a day does it. But I try to keep them as fresh & working as possible.

@chestmary, Glad you got it figured out! =)

@qalott, PMing you back now.

@hbnavajo,

Very good idea about the adsense impressions. I'll have my coder give you guys an option to use javascript or not. So that way if you want to use it to increase views you can, if not, then leave it as it is.

@MicroNicherBuilder, I can't recommend any as I haven't used any. I've only used free proxies.

But I did see where HideMyAss had a subscription to proxies. But without trying them, I can't vouch for it.

konradbraun

I tried HideMyAss... I was dissappointed. It did not give me what I needed and as such I would not recommend them. Also... their support is terrible.

I tried taking advantage of their money back guarantee... but they denied my claim. I am not worried about the money - but felt like I had been taken for a ride. Over promised, under delivered!

Again... up to you, but I would not recommend anyone hiding their ass with hidemyass.com

Vibrant Warrior

How do I look at a site's competition and other factors and determine whether its possible to rank it on the first page of Google with your tool? And how will I know how much work is required?
Lastly what about the Sandbox element? How do I stay clear of that?

Thanks.

myralove

Wow....this is my favorite thread on this forum. I sat on the fence for the first day or so, but had to buy before the prices increased. Glad I did. The programming on this is great. Besides, for $47, there really was a small risk for me.

Anyway, I tested this on a client site for a big, big city local search. Ran it through 15 loops yesterday on Sniper Mode. I had been frustrated because he had been stuck on the second page for several weeks. He was on the second page #16 yesterday when I started. Now he is on the 1st page #10 today. Competition without quotes is "About 30,700,000 results (0.15 seconds)" - copied straight from Google search.

FYI, I basically ran it all day for 15-20 local terms. I can't confirm exact amount as I am running the app now on a different website and don't want to stop. I am sure if I had focused on a smaller list of terms it would have run more loops. But I need it to look as natural as possible so I kept the list long.

Disclaimer: my client totally trusts me and I have built his site from scratch to compete with some giants in his industry. It is a seasonsed site with over 50K backlinks. And he is in the top 20 for over 700 well trafficked terms now. So I was confident that I was not putting him at any risk.

I also am building some very high PR homepage backlinks to his website for this particular keyword term. So I plan to keep it moving up. Right now, his Google Places is not kicking in for the term but I have seen it kick in for a ton of other local terms that are less competitive since yesterday, so I am hoping it will kick in soon and that will definitely help move him up as the top 7 listing are all Google Places.

Today, I testing on a website, that has no keywords in the top 20 listings for Google. (SEM Rush) This is my husband's car site. The car has been discontinued so we sell used versions of the car and car parts thru EPN. It has only made $1K so far this year plus a bit of Adsense, thru Yahoo and Bing searches. Currently I am running in the "get popular" mode across 8 terms. I will do that for the rest of the day and as soon as I see these terms start to pop up, I will run "sniper mode".

I am hoping that I will have a nice surprise for my husband! :-)


**UPDATE** I just checked and a few terms for my client that we ranked #5 for....we are now # 4 -
About 59,900,000 results (0.21 seconds) And another term we ranked #16 for...we are now #12 - of About 38,100,000 results (0.14 seconds)!!! :-)

ddev

Great Feedback @myralove. Congratulations!

myralove

Thanks. If this continues to work as it has for me, I will buy a few more systems on Christmas special just to run this script! The BUYING terms I shared above get 100K+ searches per month and are dominated by ftd, 800 flowers, teleflora, etc. Every notch up means a ton more money per day/per month!! :-)

BTW, Casey, how many systems can I run with my license of your software? These would all be systems I own and strictly under my control.

Will P

Doesn't look like the email and activation code is working for me, should I give it some time?

caseyallen

@konradbrau, Thanks alot for the review, because I was buying into their 'promises' as well. Now I will NOT buy.

----------

@Vibrant Warrior, With sesniper you don't need any other factors like backlinks. Although they do help.

Basically all you need to start is to run Get Popular to get your site in the top 10 for your keyword(s)


----------

@Myralove, Thanks so much for posting your results!

I absolutely LOVE hearing the great results you guys are having. And those are some great results Myra!

You can run 1 license on 1 computer. But on that 1 computer you can run as many instances of sesniper as you want. Like Gotti did.. He's running 2 instances of sesniper.

Just install it again in a different location, and that's it. =)

That should save you money from buying multiple licenses.

But if you want to run it on another computer (i.e. home, office, basement, etc).. you'll need another license.

caseyallen

@MicroNicheBuilder, what is it saying? Is it giving you an error, or saying activation isn't valid?

Casey

Chris Baxter

Are you using gmail by any chance?

If so, try entering your email addy as googlemail instead of gmail - I had the same problem till I guessed lucky ;-)

Chris Baxter

Casey,

As you are now adding a lot more value (the extra free proxy scraper and new features etc) plus many people are getting independent results from using your app, maybe it's time to consider increasing the price by $10 or so?

After all, some people are natural born "fence sitters" and won't take action until they realise how much they re losing out on!

Just a humble thought ;-)

Will P

Got it resolved. When pasting in the activation code it was adding a space to the end. my bad'

desireeaib

Hi Diego:

Have no clue what Scrapebox is or have a clue about using Proxies. Can you give more info on why I would have Scrapebox and a need for proxies??

caseyallen

@woggy, excellent idea. Just so the people who jumped in first got the best deal.

$10 increase it is. The price will increase to $57.97 , 12:00am Monday 6th.

Casey

caseyallen

@micronichefinder, No problem! It happens to all of us. =)

@desiree , You don't need scrapebox. I've now included an awesome proxy scraper/tester with the package. That's all you need.

Just run Proxy Sniper, and export as a txt file, Go to the "Settings" tab in SE sniper, and load in the txt file that you exported from Proxy Sniper. And check the box "Proxy".

Bronwyn and Keith

Hi Casey

Tried doing it Gotti's way with 2 versions running but it didn't work on our system. Will give your approach a go with different named versions on the same machine as it might work.

Changing the proxies three times a day. Running for 3 days now and changing the settings twice daily..... no change in keyword rankings yet.
