1. Enhanced the Submission Rate functionality to not start bookmarks in cases where:
• The user had manually started then paused the bookmark
• The Submission Limit had been reached
2. Fixed a bug where a BonzoBox bookmark submission would be reported as successful but the history would only display the root domain, and not the user’s page where the link could be found.

SocialAdr has been featured on Web Hosting Search as one of the best website development resources for 2012.   If you’re not aware of this site, it’s a popular and independent web hosting information guide, so we’re quite flattered.

Lazy Link Builder

• Was: 20 active bookmarks
• Now: 30 active bookmarks

Lazy Link Addict

• Was: 40 active bookmarks
• Now: 60 active bookmarks

Lazy Linkaholic

• Was: 80 active bookmarks
• Now: 150 active bookmarks

These account feature changes are reflected on the Account Upgrade page.

You’ll see a new field on the Add Bookmark page, as well as on the My Bookmarks page.

The field when you add or edit a bookmark takes priority over the “Default Submission Rate” field on your My Bookmarks page.  So, as an example, you can set the Default rate for your account to “Slow”, but then override individual bookmarks to be “Normal”.

The Submission Rate options are:

• Drip = once every 7 days
• Slow = once every 2 days
• Normal = twice a day

To slow down your submissions, your bookmark will be automatically paused .  You can still start it again yourself if you don’t want to wait the 2 or 7 days for it to receive submissions again.

Important

There’s no guarantee that the rate you set will be exactly what you receive, because of the human element of SocialAdr. So if you set it to “Drip”, don’t be surprised if you get submissions every 8 days, instead of 7.

This new functionality is v2.725.

I’ll update this post when it’s complete.  Wish us luck!

• Removed link to old “My Bookmarks” page, so now the new page is the only one available
• Updated the “Add Bookmark” page URL from /mod/bookmarks/add.php to /pg/bookmarks/add, so the URL format is consistent with the rest of the site
• Improved handling of bookmark URLs with variables (?=) and fragments (#) so that SocialAdr support isn’t needed to help add these URLs
• Added a validation on the Reseller – Account Manager page to ensure that sub account names don’t include special characters (#,$,%,etc)

• Added email notification for when a user receives a Facebook Like
• Added email notification for when a user receives a Google +1
• Added “Friends” count to Facebook Likes Received History page
• Added “Followers” count to Tweets Received History page
• Bug fix to handle special characters in Google +1 and Facebook URLs; was preventing certain cases from earning credits for those clicks
• Added ability for Resellers to disable/enable Twitter, Google +1, and Facebook for sub-accounts
• Bug fix to handle special cases where upper case characters are used in bookmark URLs, would throw an error when bookmark was edited
• Removed the “Latest bookmarks” hyperlinks on the home page widget; now only show text for bookmark titles

It was a long time coming.  Truth be told we started development on Facebook integration in 2010.  Unfortunately there were some technical challenges that put the project on hold.  One of our main concerns with integrating a new social media service is the whole “footprint” issue, as well as the possibility of accounts being banned for “spam” or for being “too promotional”.   So these issues presented several challenges when it came to Facebook.

The good news is, we’ve finally rolled it out and we believe our solution will be effective.  Subscribed members can now receive Likes on their URLs.

What do I need to do to receive Facebook Likes?

If you already have a ‘Lazy’ account, absolutely nothing.  If you don’t, you just need to upgrade.  Free members cannot receive Likes.

Lazy Members

Where can I view the history of Likes I’ve received?

You can view your history at History > Facebook Likes Received

How many credits does it cost for each Like?

It’s based on the number of Facebook friends the user who clicked Like has.

((ln(friends+50)^2)/3)-4

Example: A user has 356 Facebook friends and clicks Like on your URL.  You will lose 8 credits.

How can I opt-out of receiving Likes?

You can disable Likes for all your bookmark URLs here.

Free Members

How do I add my Facebook account to SocialAdr?

Head over to the Setup Wizard page and authorize the SocialAdr Facebook app. Then you’ll see the Like buttons on the Share Queue page so you can start clicking them to earn credits.

How many credits do I earn for each Like I click?

It’s based on the number of friends your Facebook account has * a multiplier that’s related to your account type. For ‘Free’ users the multiplier is 0.1 (this is the same as when you share bookmarks).

((ln(friends+50)^2)/3)-4

Example: A ‘Free’ user has 356 Facebook friends and clicks Like. She will earn 8 * 0.1 = 0.8 credits.

Where can I view the history of Likes I’ve clicked?

You can view your history at History > Facebook Likes Clicked

The rollout of Google +1 is SocialAdr release v2.72.

• Removed “Domain” column as it was redundant as the URL contains the domain
• We now save the “state” (# entries shown, pagination, sorting, search results) so when you reload the page it looks the same as last time
• Changed “Last Activity” column from friendly time (ie, 7 minutes ago) to a purely numeric representation of yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm so that the column was completely sortable
• Updated “Submissions” column to be sortable even if fields contain strings (eg. 78 of 100)
• Added link to Title field that went to a page where you can view the spun title, spun description, and tags

We also updated the Overview documentation.  Details of new features had to be added and some irrelevant information was removed.

The Resellers – Control an Account page has been updated to include buttons to all the history pages, including recent ones like Google +1 and Facebook Likes.

And last but not least, we’ve added Facebook Likes!  Details about this will be in a following post.

I’ll post a comment once the maintenance is complete.

Thanks for your patience in this matter.
