Well, Holy Gawd, beejazus and begorrah! SENukeX is finally working. As I mentioned in my previous post about SENukeX, I gave up trying to use it on my aging Win XP system and rented a Windows VPS server to run it instead (I went with AccuWebHosting following recommendations). Looks like that was a good move.

SENukeX has been ticking away unattended for the last week. I can see that it’s crashed a few times but each time it’s recovered, restarted and continued on from where it fell over, just as it’s supposed to. Plus, it runs 24/7. Now, assuming it did run properly on my XP setup, I’d have to leave my PC running 24 hours a day – and I prefer not to leave electronics running unattended because of the remote possibility of them spontaneously bursting into flame and burning down the house. Besides, on a VPS, the software can use the full resources of that computer and run more backlink campaigns than my PC since I’m using my PC for lots of other stuff every day.

Building SENukeX Backlink Campaigns

Building backlink campaigns actually takes a bit of time though I’m sure I’ll get faster at building them as time goes by. At the moment, it takes between 1 and 2 hours to build a campaign. That’s because I’m using 4 articles per campaign, 1 press release (which I have to write myself) and 1 video (which I have to create myself). Then I have to come up with about 20 titles for articles (i.e. I’m spinning the article titles), author bios to use for the article directories and comments to leave on social networking sites. I probably spend more time than I need to “crafting” these.

The Terms of Service (TOS) for Google Analytics basically say that they can do whatever they want with the data they collect from your sites and this includes using that information to determine search engine rankings.

By installing the Google Analytics code on your site, you are giving Google a back door window into your traffic patterns and they will quickly determine that your (affiliate) site is not the kind of site they want in their index. You see, Google doesn’t really like affiliate sites. Perhaps I should qualify that assertion a bit more. Google doesn’t like little-guy affiliate sites; they don’t seem to have a problem with the big guys and large corporations running affiliate ads on their sites.
