Forum Autoposter -- Comments and Beta Testers - GoFuckYourself.com

edgeprod · 08-21-2007, 11:07 PM

For a couple of years now, we've been selling Forum Autoposter, which has had some nice results automatically populating forums with users and content. These "seeded" forums then draw in "real" users, and blammo -- a forum is born.

Marking a transition in the direction of the product, we're in the final stages of developing the new Forum Autoposter. I'm soliciting comments from the community at large, fielding questions, and generally trying to get an idea of how a "mass market" version of something we've sold only to a select few would play out.

To begin, I need someone who knows their shit with mainstream feeds to please suggest a content-rich mainstream RSS feed.

Ok, all set up:

http://www.feedpuller.com/fap-beta/

That's a VERY "beta" version of what we'd crank out in a production package. The version that lives at that URL does *NOT* save anything to a database .. it generates "on the fly," but is highly configurable.

Notice how trolls actually come in to the threads, and get smacked back down by admins. I set the "chance" for this to happen darn near 100%, so that everyone can experience it and comment.

Thoughts?

edgeprod · 08-21-2007, 11:46 PM

Answering some questions from ICQ:

Q: All I see is a forum. What's so special?

A: No forum actually exists. What you see is an automatically generated page using PHP. It has pulled the feed I input based on Jace's suggestion, and made the forum posts ... all of them. It's also randomly inserted trolls, admins, etc.

Q: Do I need phpBB or any specific software to use it?

A: We haven't decided yet, to be honest. The old version of FAP used VBulletin and phpBB, but this one may be independent of both, or be compatible with both. It depends on the reception.

Q: I bought Forum Autoposter for $20,000. Will I get this software for free?

A: In a word? Yes. However, your $20,000 was mainly to use the technology years before anyone else had an opportunity to. If you do not feel you got $20,000 worth of value out of your investment, contact me via ICQ, and I will promptly return EVERY PENNY, without question. I'm confident you'll agree you saw a good deal of value. You'll still get a copy of the new one for free.

Q: Wait, wait, this is $20,000?

A: No. The old version was, and it was extremely limited in its distribution, for obvious reasons. This one is likely to be priced along the lines of other consumer products we've launched, such as Autoblogger Pro.

Q: Can I be a beta tester?

A: That's one of the reasons for this thread ... to refine the product and seek beta testers.

Are you asking me, or telling me that's what you already paid? If you're asking me, see the FAQ, it's well explained. If you're telling me you already paid for the old one, ICQ me for your free copy of the new one.

I think ROI its a lot more important than money.

Would you be bothered to work 1 day per month and make a few k's?
You can work on that other site for the rest of the month and do them both.

I have 1 single splog right now that is doing 3 sales a day on it's own, those are $30pps sales

I have 100+ splogs right now

I set up 2-3 new ones a day

surfers can't tell the difference, I use all sponsor rss feeds and don't change any text

i guarantee that you have posted on a forum that was started with fake posters and bots

forum autoposter is AWESOME for getting forums started, or when you have a low point with not a lot of people posting, just fire up the autoposter and initiate some conversations

hell, I used to do that on my blog user help forum, except I did it by hand, why not get something that would automate it?

actually, for blogs that are 70-80% search engine traffic, they are totally impressive when you factor in the amount of these blogs he has

same with me...I may only have 1500 or so uniques a day on some of my blogs, but I also have 100+ blogs pretty easily

there are hundreds of ways to do even the simplest things, why knock something you don't understand or haven't personally tried?

So from this logic you should vbe making 300 sales a day?

LOL

If you use RSS feeds and dont change any text i doubt these splogs would get any traffic. Duplicate content penalty, plus you have to actgually promote a blog (link backs and so on) to get traffic.

Pretty cool beans if they do, though.

Sounds good. Judging from some of the things you've put out, you'd have a lot to contribute.

I'll put out a feature list when the mass-market version actually has some.

So, let me decode what you're saying.

You'll code something, and charge $10,000, for something we'll likely release around the price of Autoblogger, which is $299?

Gee, your ICQ must be lighting up as we speak!

Eh, darksoul seems to know his shit, so maybe he found something we didn't. Either way, I'd be interested to see. It'd suck if he made that comment so early in the thread and they don't really have it .. may have turned some people off.

I'm sure he'll come back and elaborate, probably be able to point us to some page we didn't see, or some text we skipped over.
