Page 3 - new tool gives headache to linksmanager link exchange

That's all well and good but will you be able to compete with Broadprospects Price?

Thanks all for the support,
maybe I am naive, but I think that I got so much from the SEO forum and I am using so many free tools out there that members here developed (thank you people!) that if I have something which I can contribute back, also for FREE I am trying to do so, I do not make a living from people who are helping me on a daily bases with advises, for me creating a tool like link swapper is just the same as giving a good answer on the forum who needs it.
It is not all about money, I think it is a matter of attitude, I volunteer a lot , I contribute money to organizations which I feel are doing good and in this case I am giving service for free which doesn’t really cost me much, I already developed the service and the bandwidth is not an issue.
I lived in the US for a few years and now I live in Israel, and happy about it, I do not see the world as US vs. the rest of the world, but we are all one community, and in my believe the more you will give the more you will get back in many different ways, for the services that I give for free for the SEO community I am more then pleased for the rewards I got back and will keep on doing this on a constant bases, I also used links manager and I do think it is a very nice product, all I did is writing something which I think is easier , trying to make it better and giving it to everyone.
The main drive for developing such a tool and understanding that it needs to be free is the fact that I like most SEO, I have many many sites to take care of and if you multiple the $20/month by the number of sites I am taking care of it is just too much for me ($$$) and I guess for others as well, so I am sure there are issues and small bugs still (like in any tool) and I am also sure that it will have some in the future, the issue is addressing them fast and trying to improve the product as much as possible for everyone.
Thanks again

Well all the features i need are already included with BP's tool.. Can't really see what else you need... And like Zippo says above, can you compete with BP's amazing price?

and you can rest asure that if something is missing, let me know and it will be placed it.
Thanks

Whats absurd is we dont support our own, it has nothing to do with race, it has to do with living in America and supporting american businesses. Living in america is the key phrase here. Outsourcing is pushing our american jobs to other countries and driving our economy down, I know I am in the relocation business and I see it happen every single day.

I used that analogy because it seems paralell to me. I attended a conference this past weekend and one of the topics suggested a story that really hit home for many of us. A 5 year term employee was layed off, then told that she had to train the outsourced work that was coming from a different country and if she did not, she would loose her beneifits and pension...can you imagine training the person that would replace you from another country? There is something wrong with that.
I think we have lost site of what made America what it is. The support and desire to make America stronger by building solid foundations for americans. You can't have one without the other.
I understand the "outsourcing" issue and I appreciate you breaking it down for me and your last comment PK is true, but I dont see where I ever mentioned anything regarding judging. I am talking loyalty....not sure we are on the same page there.

As for linksmanager...it has nothing to do with this "outsourcing" arguement. I do completely agree that making strides for bigger and better things is a good thing. Who wouldn't? Did you read the title to this thread? All the same things we sit on this board and complain about day after day, you do to other companies. Ironic dont you think?
Everything is cause and effect, I just wished people saw the effect before it slapped them in the face.

The complete url was all that was needed to make the tool work as intended. Thank you BP and the best of luck to you.

Lets not forget we are discussing this great new free tool that BP has so kindly created for us here and not the economical effect its going to have on america which i think is totaly irrelevant (especially to use non us visitors to seochat)

IMO i think the big old USA will manage if BP and others decide to release free products that others charge for

There is lots of shareware and freeware out there if you're willing to settle for second best. Lets get real, unless anything that is 'free' is to the scope of linux and all its mass-support, anything free is basically, well, you get what you pay for ;)

That's a lot of talk from someone with a product no one knows of and who won't give any details. Tell you what, send me over a FREE copy and I'll take a look at it for you

Looks cheap and chinsy to me. I am a fairly proficient web designer, and wouldn't put anything on any of my websites that looks like this. Cheap (or free) doesn't always mean better. Sometimes you have to drop some dollars to get a quality product.

That's what I was attempting to say, but my thoughts didn't go far either. Anyhow, I tip my hat to free providers, but there will always be a market for quality products.

Hexed.

This looks good, but I'm wondering why it is using one centralized database. I feel more comfortable with a links manager that allowed me to use my own database. I just found one at www.autolinkspro.com that looks to be nearly identical to this free one, but uses php and MySql.

BroadProspect, It's great that you've offered this for free, thanks - but I really wonder why you want all that data under your control. As the service gets more popular, you're going to be paying more for servers, bandwidth, etc. just because you're a nice guy? Forgive me for being suspicious, but something doesn't add up for me here.

I'd rather pay a one-time fee for something like autolinkspro than have all the data under someone else's control. What happens if you decide to pull the plug, BroadProspect?

Thank you

Ouch! I'm sometimes wonder why people with Free stuff even bother to help us out at this board anymore. Gesh, can't we just thank people without tearing them down?

I agree. Comparing Linux to a free script or even a developed script is BS. autolinkspro started the same way and I'm sure the first Linux kernel was grand :sarcasm:

Dont like it than dont support it. But flaming someone for trying is plane ignorant.

See Rant Rant on a Free product then a legitimate question.
