PingCrawl v2 Review

[teampl4y4]

So I finally got around to finishing PingCrawl v2.

Things I fixed:

• Support for php4+
• Wordpress 2.7 support
• More shared hosting friendly
• Adjusted hook usage

Shoot me a pm if you are interested in reviewing this on your wp.com blogs.

I am also in the works of polishing an admin to make it easy to manage the guy.

I've had a few testers.. made more tweaks to the code. - For those of you interested, PingCrawl v2 Joshteam’s Weblog

Support for php4+

No offense but who the fuck uses php 4 yet? If you actually do, it's way past time to upgrade (just though I'd let your retarded ass know).

Preaching to the choir man..

When I first released PingCrawl w/ Eli ( Blue Hat SEO-Advanced SEO Tactics New Wordpress Plugin - PingCrawl ) I got blasted with emails, and comments on both his and my blog talking about how it didn't work on php4. Such a pain in the ass.

It's encrypted this time. I looked at my old version and it wasn't.

Any particular reason? Has someone third party seen the code that can vouch for it?

Does it do anything some people may not be pleased about?

WTF?

Drake, same code.. but it still has the 12% link injection. People were taking that out in v1. Showing someone (3rd party) code wouldn't do anything, it would be impossible for them to verify the same code base got encoded.. that's why I am hoping the community will review.

I did have some issues with the encryption though..

It looks like it's actually 20% injection rate.

 

[teampl4y4]

It looks like it's actually 20% injection rate.

You sure? If that's the case it's a bug. Can you show me your test-case? Also.. do you have an autoblogger to test this with? People were saying v1 didn't work too well with autobloggers.

 

[teampl4y4]

It's not encrypted anymore, and made a few more tweaks.. please review - again shameless plug ( PingCrawl v2 Joshteam’s Weblog )

I keep getting a time out error on teh original pingcrawl...anyone know why this happens?

 

[guerilla]

Depends how many tags/blogs you are going after and what sort of hosting you have.

There is a way to increase the timeout,

Author URI: http://www.bluehatseo.com and http://joshteam.wordpress.com
*/
set_time_limit(360);

if(!class_exists('PingCrawl')) {

I go 2 blogs per tag, and rarely more than 3 tags on shared hosting @ Hostgator. Usually works out ok.

Josh team, thanks for this plugin. You should put a donation thingee up.

It could be a) you are targeting too many tags - or b) you are using wp 2.7 and php4 - there was a race cndition that I fixed in the new release 2.1

Haha, no need for donations. Just appreciate keeping the 10% link injection in for me Do you mind testing 2.02 with an autoblogger? It should work w/ them now (unless the autoblogger work outside the wp framework)

I use Pingcrawl on "by hand" blogs.

My autoblogging is all done by XML-RPC.

Sorry.

Sorry.

The XML-RPC interface of WordPress, or your own that's goes straight to the DB layer?

I don't know much about code and whatnot. Am I just a retard?
