I don’t get the appeal of Facebook. I really don’t. It looks crappy (like something designed by a teenager) and it’s got the most gawd-awful user interface I’ve come across in a long, long time.

Yet people love it. Go figure.

And people love it so much, they love it more than Google. Yes, folks, it’s official, Facebook gets more traffic than Google. It’s been acknowledged by Google (who are now fighting back with Google+) and Facebook now has a PageRank of 10, equal to that of the almighty Google itself.

Despite hating the whole Facebook “thing”, as an affiliate marketer I can’t ignore. I’ve tried but it just won’t go away.

Providing more free traffic than Google can shake a stick at means Facebook now has to be factored into the affiliate marketing equation and than means building fanpages (yuck!).

Facebook used to use something called FBML. Haven’t got a clue what it stands for (Flippin’ Bloody Marvellous Language?) but it was dropped in favour of iframes. Whoop-de-do. All that happened while I was looking the other way hoping Facebook would be just another flash-in-the-pan fad.

But no, iframes and Facebook are here to stay. Now I couldn’t be arsed spending time building crappy fanpages with Facebook’s tools and their crappy interface. I want a tool that’s going to take the pain out of it so I won’t end up slitting my wrists at the end of the day.

Well, one such tool trundled into my Inbox today.

There’s lots of emails going out about it – it’s called the Income Hybrid 3in1 Software Suite (catchy title, huh?). It’s 47 bucks and you can click the link to get it if you want.

I found there’s a 1-hour webinar on a special page that only a select few are supposed to see but I’m in a crappy mood what with all the Facebook crappiness I’ve been dealing with today that even though I shouldn’t give you the link…

It’s been about 6 weeks since I last posted about SENukeX. In that time I’ve been away on vacation and engaged in some other projects for myself and clients and haven’t had too much time to devote to SENukeX.

You may remember that I mentioned in my previous SENukeX post, that I thought the software was buggy, had been released too soon and lacked decent documentation.

So what’s changed in the intervening time?

First, several new upgrades have been released. It now stands at V1.0.49 (it was V1.0.28 when I wrote my last post about it).

Second, the only new training I can see that’s been made available is an SENukeX Training Webinar. I haven’t had the time to watch this so can’t comment on its usefulness.

It’s been a little over 2 months since my last progress report on the Cheap Electricity Options blog. The blog is now just over 4 months old. This is what it looks like now:

I’ve added a couple of more plugins to the site to help in getting more backlinks:

Indexing Tool Plugin: This is a commercial plugin ($47) that aids in getting backlinks by getting the articles you submit to article directories and blogs indexed. Rather than repeating information here, you can read my review of the Indexing Tool plugin here.

Pingback Optimizer Plugin: This is an alternative plugin to the Index Tool above but, since both plugins use different methods for getting the search engines to spider pages on external sites, I use both together. There’s more info on Pingback Optimizer here.

Web Traffic Genius Plugin: I was already using this plugin on the site but the developers released a new version a few weeks back that adds even more RSS aggregators so the RSS feeds it creates for each new post added to a blog can be sent out to those extra aggregators. This results in even more backlinks and visitors.

The Unique Article Wizard interface

Note: This is a product review, click here to visit Unique Article Wizard’s site

While Unique Article Wizard (UAW) is a service I looked at a number of times, it was only recently that I signed up for it. I’m already a member of Article Marketing Automation which posts articles to a blog network, so I wasn’t sure I wanted to sign up to what I thought was a similar service. However, I succumbed and signed up to UAW. The monthly fee is $67.

Where similar services post to blog networks, Unique Article Wizard posts articles to article directories. Over 1,000 directories are listed in its database; some cover a wide range of categories while some are very niche specific. So your article won’t be posted to every directory but having an article go out to several hundred directories would be an average result.

Unique Article Wizard also includes a way of spinning articles. And, since these go out to article directories, each article has an associated author bio. And it’s here that Unique Article Wizard’s power lies…
