Last year I announced a new feature coming… but it was never announced to public that it is under test because I do not want any expectations for it.
Well, now it’s complete… I did the finally testing and it’s working well. It’s not a tool that public users can use but it’s a tool that can help every article approved and marked for distribution to have a wider reach!
The pinger! Yes, the pinger… each time an article is approved (articles for distribution only for now) we will activate the pinger notify ping services.

Since 2004 iSnare.com has implemented a CAPTCHA in the login area. I have a thinking for the impaired that they might not login, but then I decided to postpone he research for a CAPTCHA with voice. Not until now, someone contacted our support department and talked about the issue as she herself is having trouble logging in with the image codes as she is blind.
I personally thank that email because it brought a project I thought of 4 years ago but I really and un-intentionally forgot about it or gave it a low priority.

For almost 2 years now, I implemented a duplicate checking algorithm at iSnare.com that checks each and every article to be reviewed against hundreds of thousands of our live articles. And since then I have been improving that algorithm to not just make it faster but also make it more effective and wiser… and guest what… it gets more than 90% of all duplicate contents.
Duplicate, in my definition is based on percentage of how much it duplicates an article already approved. And I have basis of a certain percentage on when to flag an article red (for disapproval) on the editor’s view.

I AM VERY SORRY to all our members, clients, publishers and loyal readers!
Because of a very unexpected happening our main database server crashed and we had to recover everything. Lucky us it was not a fatal crash and only affected one table but that table is where the articles are!
It was recoverable but unusable so we have to recreate another table exactly the same and transfer everything!
I went home late from the office because of this and I made a promise this will NEVER happen AGAIN!

This isn’t the first time I posted my concerns about these types of publishers. Though I have not implemented a fine penalty for those violating and abusing our service which is offered for free, I am reconsidering it again.
Every time we got hit by an abusive bot hundreds of dollars are thrown to trash. Not only in iSnare.com but also in other content sites not limiting to article directories.
Others are fighting back with technicals yet others just ignore and upgrade hardware. Well, that’s costly as our servers are very costly as of the moment already.

We just launched an update in www.isnare.com today and if you are very good at looking at differences in sites then you might just notice. Though, I think it isn’t hard to figure out and look for.
Going around isnare.com, specially the front page… you’ll be able to see tags… Yes, tags… but one thing is different… they are not user driven, they are algorithmically tagged to an article from our servers. Once the article is approved and viewed the first time our algorithm will tag the article and that will be it’s birth mark to our directory…

It’s 2008 and also time for our bi-monthly editor’s performance review. But I am not going to talk about the editors but instead what I noticed in most articles they approved.
As I’ve noticed. There are alot of articles with URLs in the “About the Author” section which contains some really long URLs… Much longer than this “http://www.isnare.com/?aid=211608&ca=Computers+and+Technology” for an example of a long URL.
Now, as an article marketer myself I would personally not recommend you doing that. Why? Article marketing does not only cover online based reprints and also not all users will just click on your link when they want to go back to your site after one visit.
