I have no clue why I wasn't getting email updates from this thread, but here I go.
Great, thanks for the update!
Hi,
Is it possible that you can send me some list of your blogs? If I understand it correctly,d do I just give you one article, and you spin them to your blogs?
Thanks,
No, I'm sure if you read the thread, the blogs really do exist and people are posting to them. Not exactly sure what you want to verify by looking at the blogs. Also, you don't give me your article. When you sign up with NPP, you will login to your very own back end and submit your articles through there.
Do you plan still offer every links of every post in the future ?
Yes
If someone wanted to find out your domains they could fairly easily even without showing the permalinks using footprints in the articles they post.
Or even checking the initial results in yahoo explorer and aggregating the results over time to find them all.
Theres just no way to stop that if someone really wanted to it would just take them a bit more time.
We had taken this into consideration. But at the same time we do see it as a security risk. We have to wonder why are we just about the only ones that give out our permalinks to people's posts. There has to be substantial business reasons why other companies such as SEOLinkVine and LinkVana don't release any types of reports.
Also, we had a plan in place for an automated backlinking system that was going to automatically back link everybody's articles, but we are now going to make that a member upgrade.
Logged into NPP this morning to get the lists of urls for a few of my recent article submissions. Instead, I find that we are now only allowed to see 10 article urls per submission -> the other 614 articles are secret.
With all due respect, not allowing your customers to access the urls of the articles they have submitted is a HORRIBLE idea.
As others have pointed out in this thread, the individual article urls for NPP almost never get indexed in Google. If a customer wants their NPP submission to be worth anything, he/she must use a tool like Backlink Energizer to make Google index the articles.
What have you done? This won't stop spammers from hitting your blogs: it just makes NPP worthless for its paying customers.
It's like your product just committed suicide.
I'm sure you have noticed that we have changed everything back. We had a partner to partner discussion and have come to an agreement on what's best for this.
Uggh...not a fan of this move.
I'm sure you know by now that it's been changed.
PERMALINK list is VITAL for us - this is a really really bad move for us. Have been a supporter of ALL the changes to the system so far - but this one is not good.
I'm sure you've noticed the change also.
wtf.. man I was SOO close to buying into this program like 1-2 weeks ago and have been waiting on how things are going/being handled before I jumped in.
Sorry you guys having issues, but glad I found out before jumping in.
This wasn't an issue with the network. Bet we were debating about network security. And this came up as a very important topic. Since then, we have recanted thing change as we know that a lot of people use the permalink lists for use of their clients.
NPP is running smoothly and fully operational.
Looks like there has been a U TURN on this - Excellent to see that NPP actually listen to their customer base !!
Yes, we had a very long discussion yesterday and considered the input of many older members a newer members.
