Automated Site Submission
Traffic-Bug Automated Website Submission - On A Mac
Automated site submission software - whether free or low-cost - has appeal to any of use who've slogged through hours of manual link building. But the software tools to do that tend to be for Windows PC's only. Or so I thought, even when I encountered Traffic-Bug's classic squeeze-page showing 3-D box shots of one SEM package after another: Search Engine Submission software, Directory Submit Software, RSS Feed Program, Social Web 2.0 Bookmarking Submitter 'bundle' I could try for free -- just by submitting my email address.
Without having to run any special SEO software at all, Traffic-Bug.com and their 'software' offers a low-cost, web browser based way for Apple computer users to use Safari or Firefox for Mac to set up and submit thier site(s) to search engines, directories, social bookmark, and RSS feed sites. Easily. Automatically. Slow and Steady -- On a Mac.
Hundreds of slowly built auto-pilot backlinks? Unlimited sites , feeds and deep-linked pages for $20-some bucks a month subscription? Killer DIY Push-Button Search Engine Marketing? Sound too good to be true? There's quite a debate raging in SEO forums as to Traffic-Bug's effectiveness - or worthlessness. Especially from sharky-snarky forum posts in 2009 when Traffic-Bug first launched in beta. But that was then. A year later in 2010, it's still in 'beta', but has undergone refinements and fixes - and seems worth a try.
I decided to test Traffic-Bug's link-building effectiveness on a new website. Literally within minutes after registering a domain, getting the 2-page site live and installing StatCounter analytics -- I logged into Traffic-Bug - set up bookmarking Titles, Descriptions, etc to the main index page and let 'er rip. Within hours, I received 2 directory submission emails, and verified that these two directory links were in fact, immediately live.
With no other search engine marketing efforts that I'd normally do IMMEDIATELY on a new site to get it crawled, indexed and ranking -- I'm going to force myself to LET TRAFFIC-BUG SLOWLY BUILD LINKS for me, day after day and monitor my backlink profile growth using StatCounter, Backlinkwatch.com and link popularity checks at SeoCentro.com - No, I'm NOT going to tip off Google by installing their filthy 'We have all the info we need to love or punish you' Analytics code - nor doing site verification at Alexa, Yahoo SiteExplorer or Bing Webmaster Tools. No HubPages, Squidoo Lens, Social Profile Building.... Nuttin' else. For 14 days.
