  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.

  Twitter is back up!

  As of about an hour ago the Twitter integration is live again!   We’ve made a few changes in order to comply with the Twitter API Terms of Service, and the good folks at Twitter were kind enough to provide guidance while we made the changes.

  Here’s what’s been changed:

  • “Quick Tweet” page removed – so you are no longer able to queue up 5 tweets with the press of a button.  This is so that you’re forced to customize and review every tweet being posted to your account.  Sure, it’ll take more time to do your tweets now, but this should make them more desirable and meaningful.
  • Sponsored declaration added – each tweet will now have one of the following added to it.  This is to make it clear to your followers that the message is an advertisement.
    • Ad:
    • #ad
    • Sponsored:
    • #sponsored
    • Promo:
    • #promo

  We also strongly recommend that prior to hooking up your Twitter account to SocialAdr, you review the Twitter TOS and the Twitter Rules (specifically the section on Spam).  One simple practice you should follow is to also use your Twitter account for real, non-advertisement, unique messages, that don’t include links…in other words, don’t only use your account for SocialAdr or other marketing systems.

  SocialAdr v2.55 Released

  Tags: history (5), quick share (5), quick tweet (2), share queue (8), tweet this (1), tweets (7), twitter (8)

  For this latest release we’ve added a new Quick Tweet page which allows you to tweet 5 bookmarks at once, with the click of a single button.  If you’re familiar with the Quick Share page, this new page functions exactly the same, except rather than submitting bookmarks to your social bookmarking accounts, it submits them to your Twitter account.

  

  We’ve also:

  • Improved the “Tweet This” button performance on the Share Queue page (but we still plan on making it even faster)
  • Updated the History – Stats page to show more detail about Twitter

  New formula for tweet credits

  We’ve updated the Twitter tweet credit calculation formula:

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

  Why?  It used to be tiered and result in only 4 different values:  1, 5, 15, 25.  This wasn’t exactly fair since someone with 999 followers would get 1 credit while someone with 1000 followers would get 5 credits.  So this new formula is definitely more fair, gradual, and caps out at a reasonable limit (for example, if you have 300,000 followers tweets are worth about 50 credits).

  This update is SocialAdr v.2.54.

  Tags: add bookmark (10), microblog (2), opt-out (2), tweets (7), twitter (8)

  For this latest release we’ve added the ability to opt-out of Microblog posts (currently this just includes Twitter) at the bookmark level.  Previously this was only possible at the account level, for ALL your bookmarks.

  You’ll see a new checkbox near the bottom of the “Add Bookmark” page:
