Wow, I haven't been getting any email updates from this thread.

As far as the usernames, we are fixing that. Initially we thought it would well with article integrity control, but we realize that we would rather deal with some riff raff here and there than create that sort of footprint.

We have been doing some updates, as well as trying to fix the themes. We originally were just WP based. But WP uses up so much CPU that hosting accounts don't like. So we have basically created our very own blog engine. Which making the themes more unique is on our list.

Sometimes it may not seem like it, but we are working extremely hard back to here to make everything as perfect as it can be.

Thanks

They are just getting better and better. We have now purchased a new server for the blogs.

We are giving each blog it's own individual IP address.

600+ blogs mean 600+ IP addresses and MUCH faster blog loading time.

We hope to have this fully implemented in the next few days!

We look forward to even better results once this is finished! You don't even know how excited I am about this :)

Actually, we have a video that goes through the spinning process.

Now, I know that we have added a few extra forms since we originally created the video, but those extra forms should be self explanatory. If you're still unsure, just shoot me or support a message and I'll be more than happy to assist you.

Thanks

So it would seem that hosting on multiple blogs is suspended and on others the pages do not load...

I actually went through a report and I can't find a working link in the bunch. Do you have any information on this?
 
Since you're using subdomains i cant find a single page indexed in Google. I'm about to cancel this service....

We are currently moving all the blogs to a new hosting server and adding more IPs. We were currently on a 120 C-Class IP network, but we are now going to a 200 IP network. Originally it was going to be 1000 IPs, but THAT hosting company jabbed us around and we decided to not go thought route. So those blogs will be back up and running, the new name servers just have to resolve. That's it.

Hmmm, I'm not sure how using subdomains has anything to do with them not being indexed in Google. There are many websites that are subdomains that not only are indexed but have authority page rank as well. I know that we are going to be getting rid of some domains that are not performing as well and replacing those.

We are currently working on an automatic backlinking system that will automatically backlink everybody's articles and this should help with some of the articles that don't have as much luck being properly indexed as others.
 
Seems like you're growing too fast to handle your tech issues. Although I like your service, I must say that you should improve on your customer relations. If you are moving servers or changing web hosts, you should put it in your SOPs to INFORM your customers well in advance and not simply let it to chance for us to find out. This is second time I've experienced downtime within a month and it does not speak well of your service. After all, if this is a scheduled down time, you should be able to inform your customers in advance. A simple email, given at least 48 hours before the scheduled downtime with the following details is appreciated:

EXAMPLE
[Description of the Maintenance]: Server Upgrade - We're upgrading the server to 200 IPs.
[Date]: Friday, Nov 12th 2010
[Time]: +0800GMT
[Expected Duration]: 6 Hours

If, for some reason you can't complete the job within the stipulated time, then please inform you customers again to notify them by how long the job is expected to last.

You don't need an hourly update, but at least some information for us would be greatly appreciated.

Please understand that we are buying your service for SEO purposes. If your blogs go offline regularly, IT WILL affect the quality of the backlinks that are embedded in your blog network. How good can that be?

Hello,

Growing too fast is not the predicament. We are upgrading for our members to give them better quality and better IP diversity. Also, when migrating and changing name servers, it's not an in and out project that can be done in one day, but over a period of time of spotted intervals because of one, it's a lot of work and two, name servers do not propagate right away.

Our service is not down, nor has it been down during this time period. Articles can still be submitted, and they will continue to be posted as each blog comes back online from the name server change. So there is no service down time what so ever.

We have done this before at the very beginning (almost a year ago), and we had more support tickets than we needed to deal with because of a rather simple change that took less than 4 days. If this was going to be an actual extended period of time with the your back end down (and no one able to log in), we would have mailed a notice.

I repeat, this is NOT down time. It is really an upgrade of the actual blogs and IPs. You can still login and submit articles in the back end with no effort. They will be indeed published within the standard time frame and perhaps even quicker.

Also, we are never offline on a regular basis. We actually had to make this move because of one, we wanted more IPs and we didn't like our performance from our last C-Class hosting company. That's why we got a dedicated server just for the blogs with the purchase of 200 IPs.

We appreciate it if you have any support issues, please email support.

Thanks

You are right, but also please understand that when our members continually scrape our network with scraping tools like scrapebox it does a lot of harm to the network, chewing up resources, making blogs slow to load, and lets not forget 100,000 comments awaiting moderation.
 
Since there seems to be some growing pains, how about lowering the price from $39 to like $20?

I was about to join today to be honest, but once I got to the end of this thread I was concerned about committing $40 a month to a service that seems to be having growing pains since Aug 2010 in this thread.

Several members report slow posting, sites down, slow pages, footprints and theme issues, etc. You yourself said multiple times since Aug that your building up the IP range, domains, server down time, etc...

I know shit happens, thats the natural of this biz.. but it just seems like every month something is going on with your service. I'd be more inclined to jump in and try it out for a few months, but not until I see more positive reviews or a lower price point.

Please don't confuse an upgrade as a growing pain. Since August we have made numerous upgrades. A faster, better looking and more efficient back end. Posting has sped up since then and much more. Blogs will now be faster when this is completed along with having 200 IPs instead of 120. There has not been any server downtime to the back end to my knowledge with exception to that upgrade back in August. Almost three months ago.

As far as theme issues and footprint, I'm not really sure what you're talking about. We still have a very small footprint (and yet we are improving on that) and we do not have the same theme on every blog. But they are spread across about 40 themes and we will be improving on that as well. Don't forget that since we only allow spun content and non duplicate content, EVERY blog has different articles on them.

At this point, we can't lower the price because well, people have already signed up at this price and that would be unfair.

Compare us to SEOLinkVine, to where they don't own the blogs, you have no clue when your articles will be posted/deleted or whatever else. I think our price is more than fair. In which they do charge $59 to $69 for their service last I heard.

We are always looking to add more domains, but that doesn't doesn't deal with network problems. From time to time we will replace domains because they are underperforming, but the same thing. That's not a network performance issue. We continually maintain the network because we want to provide the best possible for our members.

Im not confused and I am not arguing with you, I am just going by the members in this thread and their experiences they have shared here.

As far as price, you mention it would be unfair to offer it at $20 when others have paid more to be in the network, but based on that logic.. don't you think its unfair to offer it here for $39 and other forums for $67?

Its cool and all, but I just wanted you to know everything I stated above was shared here by other members so its not something I personally made up myself. When I see better reviews then I will join up, even at $67 a month if I have too, but right now I don't see any positive reviews so I feel its not worth sinking in close to $40 a month for something there is no recent positive reviews for, which is why I mentioned the $20 price.

Thats all I was saying brah

Oh, I was not arguing with you either. I was just stating some facts and misconceptions people may have.

As far as the $67. That price is for people who find us generically through searches and other advertising. The discounted price applies to people who find us on such forums such as Wicked Fire and others. But both offers are indeed up at the same time. That's why that is still fair. :)

As far as waiting for positive reviews, do what you wish. But we're not a service that actively emails our clients asking for reviews like others do. So I guess we will wait and see what happens next! :)

This is probably a true statement

But you gotta understand. I don't care about the back end if the front ends pages wont load.

For me the place where my links are not loading for any reason is a big kick in the nuts.

So changing IPs and hosts or WHATEVER across the whole network would warrant a notification to the users.

After all you would not be in this thread this morning had a email been sent out like

"Hi Guys we're upgrading hosting today so some blog pages might not load for a little while... kiss kiss"

Its up to you but it seems like a easier way to do things.
 
Sorry to take air my grouses here. It must be bad for your PR.
But truth is, I cannot access your server, let alone log in for the past 12 hours. If you don't call that a down time, I don't know what is.

And, BTW, for the new IPs to resolve, there is such a thing as lowering your TTLs before you switch to the new IPs. That way, you can resolve to the new IPs faster.

Still, you totally missed the point I brought up earlier. Why can't you notify your subscribers of any service maintenance, even if you do not expect any down time? In any server upgrading or maintenance, it is common to expect an element of latency. That I can accept. Even down time. But please inform your subscribers of your work status. Keep them posted. It's very cheap way to keep your customers happy and attract new business.
