We’ve just rolled out some updates to SocialAdr:
- You can now get affiliate commissions paid out with SocialAdr credits (at an awesome rate of 1 cent = 1 credit), rather than PayPal
- Updated StumbleUpon and MySiteVote connectors to have better error reporting
- Added ability to export CSV SubmissionBoost results at the bookmark level (rather than for ALL bookmarks)
- Free members can no longer receive Tweets, they can only send Tweets to earn credits
- We’ve reduced the credits earned by Tweeting and normal bookmark shares by 1/2. This is because we realized after adding Twitter and Google +1 that Free users were able to earn way more credits than originally intended.

Not cool on the twitter thing. I would rather ditch the +1 than to drop off the twitter credits. I and others left tribepro because of changes they made that screwed the free members. This is different, but I still feel screwed. I can gain less credits now with the +1 than I did before with just twitter.

Hi Bill, thanks for the honest feedback. Just to clarify, Free members can still “earn” Twitter credits, you just can’t receive Tweets any more. From your comment I wasn’t sure if you understood this.
We have to keep a balance between features/benefits of the Free account and Paid accounts. Even though we do offer a Free service, which in my opinion is one of the best value Free services in the SEO biz, we’re still a business.
When we realized the Free accounts were able to earn more than double the credits as they originally did, we had to make some changes. Hope you can understand.
That being said, we will still be adding new social sites in the future, most of which will be accessible to our Free members.

Yeah, I did miss that free members can no longer receive tweets. Not that it matters.
This is a great service, and I understand about needing to stay in business.
Bottom line is, I earn fewer credits now than before the +1 integration. That is my issue.
Thank you for keeping on top of things though. This is still a great service.
