Black Hat SEO Digest

SENUKE – Trying it out again and I’m very suprised!

When SEnuke first came out I gave it a whirl.  I found it buggy, and I found that I already had better systems in place for building links.  Recently though some of my favorite link spam methods just went down the drain and wasn’t working anymore.

I had two choices.

1.) Find a couple of new types of scripts to post to.

2.) Save myself some time and just use something that existed already.

I’m doing both really – I’m working on a few new scripts that will do the trick, but that takes time.  I needed something right now since I have client sites and foundation sites that are just desperate for more links. My helpers are doing their thing – but they stick to the white hat and foundation sites.  They don’t promote my lower level spam sites.  Needed a faster solution………..

SO ——- I broke down and ordered SENUKE again.  That was two days ago and I’ve got a complaint (again).  It isn’t buggy enough anymore… I feel the need to keep using it

Not only that – it’s going to cost me restructuring expenses.

Why?

I need another PC just to run this on and another desk   It does it’s job quite nicely but since it needs to run with no interference it’s getting in the way of the 3 pc’s I have up and running at the moment.  You see I’m down to a 3 pc set up.  Normally it’s like this:

My ubuntu machine is what I program my ruby and ruby on rails aps on.  That’s where my link building usually happens.  I don’t use it for much else since it annoys me for everything else.  Unless I’m coding or running it to build links – well that’s it.  For you “windows” kids out there it’s a pain in the rear if your not used to it. Ubuntu is a beast in itself.

My main machine runs vista and I use it for what I’ve got going on right now.  For example this post is on my main pc.

I’ve also got a laptop, but it seems that my kids and wife have ’stolen’ it, and I never get to use it anymore.

So I suppose I’ll go out and pick up a cheap PC in a few days and another desk.

By the time I’m done, SENUKE will have cost me:

$127 per month.

$500 for a new low end PC or laptop.

$100 bucks for another desk… or I’ll go all out and get a bigger desk to combine my normal desk with it.  I’ve always wanted one of those “U” shaped desks with a PC on every side.

SEnuke also needs a few more bucks a month than the subscription fee to get anything out of it unless you’ve got more time to baby sit it than I do (my own solutions end up costing this as well).  First off I have to pay for captcha solving for some of the senuke modules.  That’s fair  – 14 bucks for 2000 captchas is no big deal.  I’ve also got to pay for someone to write my “spun articles”.  There is a service that you can pay by the line, or that gives you packs of spun plr articles.  I usually end up using both.

My estimated costs for a month:

Captcha Solving about $100.

Spun Articles about $500.

Chances are you won’t be using SEnuke as much as me.  You’ll probably spend 28 bucks a month on captcha’s tops, and you can go as low as 30 bucks for the spun article membership.  If you spend hours away from your PC you won’t need the second pc either.  You can set SEnuke up and go to bed.

Am I going overboard here?

I don’t think so.  I already pay much more than this per month for my helpers to spend hours per day creating and participating in web 2.0 communities.  While they take the time to participate and bury links very deep and below the spam radar, they can’t handle volume like SEnuke can.  I won’t be stopping what they do – because legit posting is always better.   I’ll mainly be using SEnuke to push links to my other web 2.0 properties for now.  It’s a good way to increase the links on my “legit” profiles values – and of course all the sites they link to.

Remember kids – it’s all about the links

There is a free 7 day trial for you to test out SEnuke through any of the hyperlinks in this post.  Since it’s a paypal subscription you can log in and cancel directly whenever you want.   The $127 isn’t peanuts I realize – but if you get 3k (or more) links in 7 days for free what do you have to lose.

SEnuke – Had to Pass… BUT…

As I posted previously I was taking SENUKE for a little spin during the 7 day free trial.  Overall it seems to be in pretty active development (which is a good thing).

However, I have the same problem with this tool as I do with my own — to many variables, to many places to deal with.  It’s a GREAT way to promote my ‘black hat’ sites – but it’s not something I even want to use for the foundations.  I probably could use it for them and be more than fine but I’ve already got my own systems in place for that.

I’ve also got my own methods for getting links – so this ends up being overkill once combined with those.

So for me – it’s overkill.  For someone else starting out – it’s probably going to help you promote your foundations and black hat sites.

SeNuke – Testing it out!

So I signed up for SENUKE today to give it a little test run.  The 7 day free trial made it worth checking out.  I’ll be playing with some of the moduals and I’ll report back.

If you decide you want to play along – the 7 day free trial is active at the time of this post… good news.  It’s through paypal so YOU can control if you want to cancel prior to the 7 days with no worries you’ve got the POWER!

Probably take about 30 minutes to sign up for all the crap to make it work – then I’ll have to start a posting with it.  I think if I take what this does, combine it with sitewidelinking, the nss2 promotion center, and my own link farm it’s going to work out quite well.
