SENuke
[youtube LVrvcf7_Gdw]
It began in the Warrior Forum, where a member there with 33 posts attacked every software program I released. The only posts he has (except for about 5 of them) are to bash my product or sing the praises of SENuke.
Then, this morning, I got a Google alert for the name of my main product that showed one of their affiliates targeting the name of my product. Needless to say, it’s time to show them what happens when someone targets my stuff to sell something else. We’ll see if they like how well this posts ranks for the name of their product…
SENuke was the first SEO software to focus on link wheels. It’s focus is using web 2.0 properties to dominate Google. Even cooler, it actually worked.
They have awesome support and do whatever it takes to keep their customers happy.
SENuke did a lot of things right.
Their keyword research module has some cool features. Market Samurai is far better. It’s the only keyword research tool anyone could ever need.
Other than my software, theirs is the only one that allows you to spin any type of content it submits. The negative is that they focus on spinning by word or phrase. Google will catch a spun piece of content that is the same length as a different one.
SENuke has many features. With video, RSS, social bookmarks, and web 2.0 content sites built in, you can build a lot of links to your sites and plenty of links to your links The social media focus on the software is a definite downfall. Google hands out slaps to social sites like crazy…
SENuke users have had a decrease in the indexing of the wheels they create using the software. One user reported a 15% indexing rate. That’s really bad.
SENuke has around 80 sites built in, according to their sales letter. That isn’t much. Between Link Wheel Software and Traffic Magnet, there are well over 3,600 sites built in. If you take out the web directories, that still leaves over 500.
SENuke users get 25 spun articles per month. Think about what happens when 1,000 send the same article out at once. That just isn’t cool.
The rankings shown on SENuke’s site is not good. If nobody searches for a term, there is no point in trying to rank for it. Ranking for the name of their product is important, but there is still only 195,000 results for the term “SENuke”.
SENuke isn’t as automated as they claim. You have to go into your email and click the email verification links that most of the sites send you when you create an account. Link Wheel goes in and does that for you…
SENuke worked very well in the beginning, but doesn’t work as well anymore. Link Wheel and Traffic Magnet are customizable, so you can duck Google slaps with ease.
SENuke is the leader in SEO automation tools right now. They’ve opened a door for me to stomp right through and provide people with tools that will always do what they claim – work. It doesn’t hurt that they cost over $50 less per month either.
Edit: Please see the second part of this post and put your comments there: SEnuke part two.
So Ross, are you saying you don’t like SENuke? I mean, it has been around for a long time… Maybe SENuke still has a valid application in the market today for links? I don’t know…maybe I’m all wrong about SENuke. *wink*
Actually Susan, I like SENuke plenty. What I don’t like is when those that have agendas bash my stuff. I’ve proven that it works over and over again. I’ve proven that I can rank for just about anything that I want, yet I still have naysaying morons blasting me…
It was the last straw when one of their affiliates targeted the name of my product.
I have an enormous amount of respect for my competitors, especially if their products work.
wow Ross, this looks really good man!
great job brother.
lets chat soon, been a while.
Yo Ross, Good meeting you last week in Hotlanta!!
I think you was very fair with the comparisons. Although like you said at the end they just recently made a big update.
My main problem with SEnuke was that it was a resource hog and couldn’t do anything when it was running. It’s best to have a dedicated computer that just did SEnuke. It would actually be kinda of cool if it could do multiple campaigns throughout the day on autopilot.
Then it was 50/50 that it would actually submit to all the sites. Sometimes i would be lucky to get 75% of the accounts to actually bookmark or make a post. So eventhough there will be 50+ sites maybe only half will actually go thru. I never seen it 100% post to all the sites.
It also seems that many Web 2.0 Owners can easily spot an SEnuke site and quickly get them banned. Not sure if it’s SEnuke or just an error by the user.
Hey Ross cool video. Thanks for explaining the difference between linkwheel and senuke. I really appreciate what you’re doing and the tools are very essential especially for someone like me who doesn’t have the luxury of free time.
Side note: I have a support question about the linkwheel question. Can you please have someone get back to me?
Thanks
I’m not sure if this comment will ever even go live on the blog, but here goes anyways…
Hey Ross,
Areeb here. Normally I would never comment on this kind of thing. Competition is healthy, it creates better products for the consumers, but I just had to, because not a single thing you said is correct. Not one single thing.
1) You speak of a low number of sites that the software supports. That is false. SEnuke has 3 times the number of websites in each module than is shown on the sales page. The sales page was designed almost 2 years ago. That’s what SEnuke looked like TWO years ago. We do have a note on the feature list that it’s really old and to check our blog. But thank you for reminding me that it severely needs updating. we’ve been concentrating too much on the quality of the software, not as much on the marketing side of things. Plus we’ve added 2 more modules since launch that are not even described on the sales page.
2) You speak of 20% indexing rates. Where did you get that from? Indexing rates are near 95%. Just check out our forum
3) You speak of shared spinner articles. That is false. Spinner articles are 100% per unique PER member through our integration with CB and TBS API’s. One click spinning to 45% uniqueness.
4) You speak of proof that doesn’t show the number of competing sites. That is also false. Just click the image to expand it
Also, if you’d like proof, check out these 110 success stories: http://senuke.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=4
5) You speak of manual email verification. Where did you get that from? It’s 100% automated with one click.
6) You speak of a software that follows one fixed strategy. Perhaps you’re thinking of EVO2. Our software could not be more customizable to your own strategy.
7) The reason you created this video was apparently because we “targeted” your product. Or I guess one of our affiliates. Really? Is this the correct response? Find me two popular products whose affiliates are not targeting each other’s names to make sales? They’re affiliates… that’s what they do.
Me personally, I will not target the name of your product. I do not believe in that kind of marketing.
Hi Ross
Good read, i bought into SENuke, but i only ever ended up using it to create my web 2.0 accounts, admittingly they do a lot of upgrades and fixes, and that in itself is a pain on the …. cause a lot of the time when you start it, its updating, which then breaks your focus.
I ended up moving to IMacros and Roboform to do a lot of automation, still learning though.
