Hi guys…
Well, obviously “a few days” have come and gone and Authority Loophole still hasn’t launched. As with most product launches, the culprit is a combination of technical stuff, unforeseen tasks, etc. As well as “real life” stuff that tends to take up a fair bit of time…
Anyway - that said, we are aiming to have this out before July 10th, with fingers crossed.
Alright, a bunch of people have been asking questions about the software, the link-building process and of course - the costs involved.
So here’s some answers to your questions…
Q: If The Links Are Being Placed With an Exploit on ONE Widget, Can’t They Just “Shut it Down”?
A: No, “they” can’t. That’s because the widget is simply a script that works with existing blog installations - and literally millions of wordpress blogs use it, several thousand of which are quite established.
Just like how wordpress can’t control its blogs “remotely” on other people’s servers, let alone fix an exploit across millions of sites.
Q: Won’t Google Somehow “Figure This Out” and Discount the Links?
A: Regardless if they “figure it out” or not, the nature of the “hack” is actually not harmful at all. Also, your links will only “stick” on the site if you use the tool properly - and done correctly, the sites you’re grabbing links from won’t be bothered since you’re actually adding value to their blog in the process.
So it wouldn’t concern Google regardless, since it doesn’t interfere with how the widget itself works. “Crap” links won’t stick anyway, which means that Google by default won’t be considering them.
Similar to link-building via dofollow blog comments, it only works if you’re adding value or legitimately RESPONDING to something the blogger has to say. If you do that, using this exploit, then your links will “stick”.
If you simply go out and spam, then you’re wasting your time and burdening the webmasters who will, guaranteed, delete your link anyway.
That’s all I can really say about it without giving away the process, which our software largely automates.
Q: What’s The Price - And What are the Additional Costs to Do This?
A: I can’t reveal the price until it goes live. Sorry - but I will say that it is not high ticket, nor is it recurring.
As for the additional usage costs…
NOTHING. Nada. Zilch.
No extra hosting, tools, resources or anything else required. Use software, build links. That simple - no surprises.
Also, this link building tactic will benefit any type of site. It’s not better-suited at all to any particular search engine or site structure. You can use this to drastically boost the authority of your conduit sites, content sites, MSN Loophole feeder sites (and your blog network, if you’re doing that), your “real business” site, ecommerce sites, authority sites - anything.
The closest I can get to revealing the price right now is to say that it will be accessible to newbies as well.
Q: What If Hundreds or Perhaps Thousands of People Do this….
A: Think of the hundreds of thousands of people out there writing articles for traffic and links. Guess what? That’s still very effective for getting indexed and ranked. Probably always will be.
More than that - think of the millions upon millions of blogs out there that automatically “ping” their RSS feeds into the ping services to get spidered, indexed and ranked.
All that stuff still works folks. And it has worked for years.
Since this strategy - though “clever” and very effective - still depends on value. The people who use this properly will get some of the easiest links in their life.
Those who abuse it - like anything - will be fighting and uphill battle. And even if there are widespread voluntary updates (such as the “nofollow” settings to combat comment spam) at some point in the distant future, only some sites will employ them, and certainly the people who just use this properly won’t have to worry about it anyway.
But as it stands right now, the “link fields” are ripe for harvest, and anyone who actually builds links by using this is in for some seriously easy authority links.
You can speculate, wonder and deliberate - or you can get linked and get ranked. Your call.
Always remember that the BASICS of effective SEO haven’t changed since the search industry took over the “web directories” back in the late 90’s…
Relevant, original content + links = traffic.
These days, even moreso.
Stay tuned.
-Chris

Chris, I am looking forward to learning more. Keep me updated and thanks. Jack
4 Alex Poole // Jul 3, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Thoroughly intriguing, and thanks for the tease on price Chris
It sounds like, as with the majority of tools that save time, those who use this properly will benefit hugely, whilst those who see it as shortcut that obviates their need to provide value will flounder, and then doubtless bleat that it was all a big scam in the first place..
Best of luck with the launch.
Kind regards,
Alex
5 Doug // Jul 3, 2009 at 2:43 pm
Can’t wait to see this. I’ve been using Linkvana for a bit (and will continue to do so), but am always up for getting a few more links.
Glad to hear you harping on the quliaty content thing. We don’t need more garbage.
Thanks,
Doug

Sounds intriguing. Definitely some people will abuse this. However, hopefully many more will not. I’m looking forward to seeing what this new system is.

7 Forex Monster Review // Jul 3, 2009 at 2:47 pm
Looks good Chris..Looking forward for the tool to come out. But just to understand, is the concept same as some of the monthly paid services out there?
If that is the case, this will be really great since the tool will be of good quality and one time fee.
8 Paul Stockton // Jul 3, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Hey Chris
I manually look for relevant dofollow blogs for links - so can’t wait for the launch.
Great job.

9 Domains at Retail // Jul 3, 2009 at 2:49 pm
I’m still interested but hope this isn’t going to be like a slightly better version of the PGB commentator tool or isn’t something that I can easily do via the site command which I use now to find some nice links.. Have to wait and see on the price.. I’m all for leaving useful comments though..
10 California Commercial Lenders // Jul 3, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Doug,
I’ve been using linkvana for a couple of months and I started tracking Yahoo links back to my targeted site. Of the posts that actually got indexed (maybe half according to Yahoo) I noticed that 90% + of those posts from linkvana are coming from sites that have 0 page rank. Anybody else having any results with linkvana????
11 Digital Camera Ratings // Jul 3, 2009 at 2:52 pm
Chris- You have me even more intrigued now about Authority Loophole. I can’t wait.
It seems to me that all of the skepticism comes from the same place as procrastination and the inability to act. It’s easy to just sit back and say, “oh, that can’t work” than to try something and tweak it until it does.
Your materials definitely get me in the ‘act’ frame of mind. If I get lazy, I just go back to them and get the urgency back.
Thanks,
Bob
12 Mikael // Jul 3, 2009 at 2:54 pm
One thing that I still don’t get is why you would want to steal a position from someone else that is using a keyword that is very different from yours.
Why would I e.g. want a stong link with Asbestos lawyer pointing to my cat site?
13 Mike // Jul 3, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Sounds like the ‘top commentators’ plugin.
14 admin // Jul 3, 2009 at 2:58 pm
@Doug - What matters is how the page itself is indexed. PR really means nothing, and being that it gets updated about once every 4 months (while Google’s index is CONSTANTLY updated), it’s not a good gage of quality.
What matters is how your sites are ranking, and that comes down to how well you targeted your keywords.
@Mikael - Because at the end of the day it’s still a link, which will help to boost up your overall authority and index all your site’s pages.
It’s the same as linking to your site via article marketing with a hard URL anchor link. The link still counts for a lot.
SEO still depends on your on-site factors for relevance, just as much as your offsite link authority for where it should rank.
15 Claude // Jul 3, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Chris,
Thanks as always for the info.
Looking forward for this tool. I’m currently using the Loophole Method along with LinkUMate and LinkUBaiter but got a little hungry and targetted a huge niche with millions of competing pages so i understand it takes a bit longer to see results. Hopefully this software will cut some time.
Merci
16 Domains at Retail // Jul 3, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Mikael, I think the idea is if you have a cat training site then you find the links from say a cat food or cat health site. I believe Chris said you will look for relevant topics?
As for LinkVana, I too have noticed some of my backlinks do come from PR0 sites.. I believe LinkVana keeps adding new blogs to the network and those are the PR0 blogs.. I have seen some PR2 site blogs posting my content but not as many.. Of course the actual blog post doesn’t have PR
but a link is a link and I have seen some initial movement from my LinkVana posts.. Although I think I sandboxed my one site by doing it too quickly 
17 MichaelZ // Jul 3, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Chris,
It just makes me crazy when technical stuff comes up just when I want to do something cool. Authority Loophole sounds interesting and especially interesting if th e proce is something newbies can afford. I am hoping that means regular newbies, not that guy you wrote about before that spent the 6oK and still did not have a website.
18 admin // Jul 3, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Yes, the software finds sites that match the keyword theme you specify.
Regardless, links don’t have to be as scientifically engineered as people think.
-Chris
19 admin // Jul 3, 2009 at 3:09 pm
@MichaelZ - haha!
I guess I might as well spill the beans, it will be 3 easy payments of $2799 and just $799 a month after that to use the software.
And as soon as you’ve spent $60K in recurring fees, then you’ll get a discount on one of our numerous OTO’s and “coaching” programs (based in Utah - inside joke with those who know what that means…)
-Chris
20 Bill // Jul 3, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Hey Chris,
I’ve been using your stuff for a while now and it’s always TOP NOTCH. I’m sure this will be the same … I’m looking forward to the launch.
21 Tony Marino // Jul 3, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Chris, that this will help our Conduit sites is really great. You always over deliver and I’m sure the price will be value-for-value, all of your other materials are under priced if anything (please don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining about your prices, I’m just sayin). I’m anxiously waiting on this as backlinking is a great SEO tool.
Thanks,
Tony
22 SEO Deconstructed // Jul 3, 2009 at 3:45 pm
Looking forward to the software Chris - as Bill mentioned, you stuff is always great!
keep me posted about the launch for sure.
cheers

23 Kyle // Jul 3, 2009 at 3:49 pm
“based in Utah - inside joke with those who know what that means…”
Yes! I love that idea. Idaho & Utah are such cool places for coaching programs, and hopefully you’ll have random dudes call us like 18 times to pitch us on spending $3,000 more (which is the “discount”).
Anyway, sounds like awesome stuff. I’ll buy it for sure. Later Chris,
Kyle
24 Alex Newell // Jul 3, 2009 at 3:49 pm
links are funny little beasts. Sometimes as you go down SERPs the number of links on the websites goes up not down as you might expect.
I’ve never quite understood link quality Chris.
On the other hand I do expect a link from an article of mine in ezinearticles.com is probably going to out rank one in a blog comment field…
25 chazf411 // Jul 3, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Patience is not our strong suit. Looking forward to release.
26 Jasper Eliot // Jul 3, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Mikael: The reason why you might want a strong link with Asbestos lawyer pointing to your cat site is because you never know if your cat comes down with mesothelioma. If he does, an asbestos lawyer could come in very handy.
27 Jim James // Jul 3, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Chris,
Is this going to end up in the VIP access area?
Or if we purchased the ‘Loophole’ product - perhaps a discount?
Best,
Jim
28 Nick // Jul 3, 2009 at 4:36 pm
Sounds interesting! Will the software work on Mac?
29 Tonga Employment // Jul 3, 2009 at 5:11 pm
As Mike said…
>> Sounds like the ‘top commentators’ plugin. <<
Or more likely, the ‘Recent Comments’ plugin.
30 Gary // Jul 3, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Is this a trackback submitter type of script? If it is, then it is nothing special unless there is a twist to it and with a lower price than existing ones.
Hope it is something else though… thanks
31 Susan // Jul 3, 2009 at 5:26 pm
we’re waiting to take the said tool for a spin.
Thank you for not making it a subscription based product
32 admin // Jul 3, 2009 at 5:28 pm
@Gary,
No, it isn’t.

33 Rex Turner of MegaMarketingReviews.com // Jul 3, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Hey Chris,
I will keep an eye on this because everything I have seen you do has been quality.
It will be interesting to see what else it does besides just find blogs without nofollow tags.
It’l be coool.
Best of luck,
Rex Turner
34 Ray // Jul 3, 2009 at 5:35 pm
How easy would it be for the site owner to remove the links or just not allow it?
35 Michael // Jul 3, 2009 at 5:49 pm
I’m wondering if this will be able to replace opening accounts on web 2.o and bookmarketing sites.
36 Domains at Retail // Jul 3, 2009 at 6:31 pm
I wonder if this will be the site for it? authorityloophole.com.. hmm but that is for Profit Loophole?
It’s Dave Kelly’s voice in the video and the google cache shows as of June 28, 2009 nothing was on their before so it seems pretty recent… is this it Chris?
37 Kevin // Jul 3, 2009 at 6:48 pm
How does Authority Loophole compare to “Blog Comment Demon”?
38 Horse Betting System // Jul 3, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Sounds great and I am sure if Chris is involved that it will work
39 Jared Miller // Jul 3, 2009 at 7:00 pm
I’m in as long as he has a guarantee and it’s not crazy expensive.
40 Jeremy // Jul 3, 2009 at 7:22 pm
Looking forward to checking it out.
I think a newbie price would
be $97.00?
41 Ken // Jul 3, 2009 at 7:45 pm
Look forward to hearing about the release.
42 Get Rid of Warts // Jul 3, 2009 at 7:58 pm
Looking forward to seeing your software and, hopefully, to buying it at a reasonable price. As to what constitutes a reasonable price, I will have to leave that to your imagination, but it will hopefully be something that I can afford - your stuff is usually good quality and works.
Thanks for the heads-up.

I have been using Linkvana for quite a while and this new software is all that you hear it is.

46 MLM Home Business Opportunity // Jul 3, 2009 at 9:18 pm
looking forward to see what this is… i love link building and this could be another handy tool!
47 Bruce Stewart // Jul 3, 2009 at 10:07 pm
The price will be: For the people who see the value that they can get out of the software if they are not to lazy to use it. Sometimes $25 is over the top and sometimes $97 is cheap.
For me I seem to be stealing out of the food and fuel money tin for things.
Darn this internet marketing thing it has mass control over me!
48 ca // Jul 3, 2009 at 10:49 pm
It’s a commentator tool from the sounds of it and if so, they’ve been around so what pray-tell would be the big deal here….just re-gifting so to speak.
49 Residual Income Affiliate // Jul 4, 2009 at 1:29 am
As always, I’m chomping at the bit to get to your next big project, Chris, and authority loophole sounds like the type of software that could boost us all to authority site positions. Can’t wait!
50 IM Remarkable // Jul 4, 2009 at 2:27 am
I can vouch for the fact that an incoming link does not necessarily have to come from a site that has relevance to your site.
What seems to matter is the anchor text, the quality (PR) of the linked-from site and the quantity of links obtained, slowly and regularly.
For example, a good quality jazz music site can happily link to a new dog food site and the dog food site will get the link juice.
This Authority Loophole tool looks promising!
51 Mark Stewart // Jul 4, 2009 at 2:59 am
Hi Chris looking forward to this. I was thinking of trying link vana but its a bit on the expensive side right now, may be later.
But cant wait to try this peace of kit your bringing out
52 Eric // Jul 4, 2009 at 3:03 am

will this software also work for non-English speaking markets?

One question that I don’t think has been asked yet: does the software run locally or on a server. If it’s local, what are the systems requirements? eg is it Windows-only?

56 What Is Parvo Virus // Jul 4, 2009 at 8:02 am

It certainly sounds intriguing, and I’m looking forward to the launch when we can get full details.
Will there be limited copies of this software, and will it co-exist with other linking tools (e.g. 1WayLinks, Trackback Spider)?

57 How To Get Your Ex Back // Jul 4, 2009 at 9:30 am
I’m really looking forward to this. Since I’m still in the mini-site phase and getting traffic is my main stumbling block at the moment, this really makes a whole lot of sense.
I’ve learned now to get on with it, and only buy things that directly tie in with what I’m currently doing, that I have time to implement, and which won’t sit around on my hard drive gathering virtual dust =)
I assume if it’s a joint thing between you and Dave we can expect not only the program itself, but videos and pdfs on how to use it for maximum effect, since there’s definitely a right way, and a wrong way of using it?
I must admit, I’m glad it won’t be recurring =P
58 Simon // Jul 4, 2009 at 9:42 am
I’m was surprised to learn how many internet marketers are still using M$ as their operating system - so buggy, unreliable and open to attacks.
I graduated to Linux many years ago and there’s no going back.
So Chris, you’ll have to address the operating system compatibility question for those of us who use fast and secure unix-based operating systems.
59 SAM HAYNES // Jul 4, 2009 at 11:01 am
NB.. The websiet is not yet operational due to “stuff” like providing care for a wife with Alzheimer’s and Muscular D….24-7. (Aren’t gene pools wonderful?)
I’ve only read ten or so of the responses, but I get the drift. Just log me into the ‘ditto’ club. Hell’s bells…who wouldn’t want an easy route to massive one way back links?
I’ve spent the last three and a half years trying to get a profitable affiliate marketing business model launched and now believe I have a viable route to take; all the tools ready for a simple launch. I can wait another ten days or so.
So, then… I’m ready for a newbie priced, non OTO, non ‘recurring’, coachless, no html coding required other than piping thru my text editor.
Do me one favor if you can… use a high contrast font of about 12 point in the text. I and other seniors have ‘macular degeneration’ of the retina which makes reading eighty percent of common website text illegible without five to ten power magnification.
Do what you can. I’ll be waiting!

Can blog owners use it to get backlinks from other blogs, rather than begging other blogs to add links to their blogroll?

Yes Sam, they can indeed.
This completely circumvents “begging”.

64 Dexx // Jul 6, 2009 at 2:11 pm
Hey All,
Just wanted to drop a line and my experience of using the Authority Loophole software on just one domain, one day, a week ago:
I currently have (according to SEO Elite):
SEVEN PR7 backlinks
EIGHT PR5 backlinks
EIGHTEEN PR4 backlinks
and a crap load of PR3, PR2, etc.
Did I mention that was from just using the software one time and letting the Search Engines do the rest?
Now that being said I did add a couple new tactics to using the software which helped me get those results and get ranked/listed faster…
That will be given out in a free report for visitors that opt-in to my backlinking strategy site I created just for this software…
I wont mention the URL here of course…but you’ll be finding it…very shortly…
Actually its already ranked #5 in Google after being created less than two weeks ago
65 Adrian // Jul 6, 2009 at 2:20 pm
@ Dexx - Is the page where your links are… pr7,5, etc… or is it the domain?
66 Jen // Jul 6, 2009 at 3:18 pm
This sounds really intriguing, can’t wait until July 10th to find out more…!
Please keep me posted.
67 Cameron // Jul 6, 2009 at 3:30 pm
I’m a newbie, floundering through troughs and peaks, hoping that I can actually use this software and that it will provide a much-needed peak

Cameron,
It’s what you PROMOTE, my friend, that makes all the difference.
Link building is definitely a required part of the equation for organic traffic.
But what you need is an effective offer, above everything else.
Peruse this blog (the archives) for some ideas.

I’m building a list of 100 of them or so that I will be using to promote my sites. Plus thats just for the one keyword I was looking for…wait until you see how the software works, you’ll be able to find tons of them yourself

I’ve read that post a few times before, but thought I would do again. That’s why I was so annoyed. People are going to read through these forums, see stuff like this and think “Hmm, it must be true; I read it on an internet marketing forum”.
-Daniel
79 Adrian // Jul 8, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Well, the loophole method is still a no-go as of yet for me, spending $550-$600 a month on it. I had some issues whether my fault, overlooked, or not clear enough in the lessons (don’t remember) but my code wasn’t on every page. To add to that, only a couple pages from each blog are indexed.
My question is (Chris), doesn’t the system work well when the engine comes back to spider your page again? Don’t we want it to be more than just indexed? I’m also wondering why my pages ranked so well even with less pages indexed, than what I have now.
Right now I’m having articles written to submit to the major directories for a few backlinks to help kick things off.
80 admin // Jul 8, 2009 at 7:54 pm
Hi Adrian,
In regards to the spidering activity, what you want is an ongoing PATTERN of influx, which is what the linkubaiter rotation does.
This is why it’s important to have blogs that are well indexed, so that they get spidered repeatedly, and thus provide MSNBot with several “new” links each time.
Your pages ranked well initially because it was luck of the draw. When whatever pages you had indexed were spidered, whatever links the spider saw were taken into account.
MSN is all about link GROWTH. Influx.
You can definitely kick-start the process with articles, RSS submissions, press releases and so on and I strongly recommend doing that actually.
Before I learned this method from Dave, all I was doing was basically just submitting software applications to all the major software directories, which would also build links (kind of like article marketing).
My MSN rankings at first were a side-effect of an effective traffic strategy. You are required to have a publisher URL if you submit software to a lot of the larger directories, so I would just build a one-page ultra simple “placeholder” site to keep them happy.
But when I started seeing that MSN would respond to a whole crapload of new links by shooting up the placeholder site’s rankings, then I got pretty excited.
Especially since Google’s response was to sandbox it.
But MSN Loophole, once your network is established, is simpler than doing a fullscale campaign like “shareware” marketing. You just insert your URL into the linkubaiter or otherwise link rotation script and you’re done.
There is a reason why, even after the better part of a year, our sample sites are still ranking strong.
-Chris
81 Adrian // Jul 8, 2009 at 9:18 pm
That sounds about right. Well, if I attained a ranking, I can surely get it back. It gave me over $2K that month it ranked from just the one keyword, so you can see why I believe in it =)
I’ll do:
article marketing
blog links
social bookmarks
and see how things go from there. Since MSN doesn’t count pagerank, buying links for PR is worthless right? It’s just link volume.
The last factor is patience.. I know because I’ve been doing SEO for 1.5 years for just one phrase…. promise is showing now =)

Looking forward to the release as I could really use this in my arsenal for link building. Thanks

Chris, I don’t know you that well yet, but I have been in constant contact with Dave via email over the past 6 months since buying loophole for various tips and pointers, and I can vouch for both him and MSN loophole as we have been bringing in on avg of $3-4k per month from that method testing only about 15 IP’s / 20 blogs / and a dozen money sites at an initial cost of around $500 and a reoccurring monthly nut of about $100.
We have recently expanded our network in June to include almost 100 ip’s /150 blogs / and have been adding new money sites every week using dropped names.
Indexing and ranking both seem to be occurring even faster with the larger network. It cost us about $500 to buy more domains and hire my 14 yo to put the sites, and our new monthly nut is closer to $400 and I’m hoping to be in prime position this fall.
I will say that finding great niches is tough, but thats really the job of a full time online marketer - find niches, build sites, promote them. It’s not easy, and often times can be boring. But once the income starts to stabilize, you should reinvest like you would in growing any business.
Can’t say enough good things about loophole, and I will be waiting to see how this new thing does.

Den that’s well done! Can I ask how well indexed your blogs are?
85 SlimandStrong // Jul 9, 2009 at 7:18 pm
This all sounds quite intriguing!
Let’s hope the mystery road has a rainbow at the end that leads to a pot of gold. Failing that we could just buy umbrellas and enjoy singing in the rain as we go through the storm.
Seriously I’m really hoping this is as good as it sounds.
86 Snowbored // Jul 10, 2009 at 9:32 am
Adrian, maybe we can add each of our blog networks to each others and see if we can get them better indexed (not money sites, just blogs). If interested post a way I can contact you. I have around 90 blogs.
87 Adrian // Jul 10, 2009 at 8:43 pm
@ Snowbored
Something to think about. You can shoot me an email: support - at - chatyak - dot - com
Depends on the IP address as well =)
88 denny // Jul 11, 2009 at 9:07 pm
Thanks Adrian. To be honest I had to check as I dont keep track of that as closely as some, I just kinda follow the steps. But all of the original sites are indexed. I simply used feedage as suggested, and added a solid ping list to WP (prior to runing CC).
In this second wave I also had someone social bookmark a handful of the sites to give them a kickstart, and I linked to them from my existing sites. Noticing almost instant indexing from G, Bing still taking its time.
Hope that helps. Good luck!
@ Chris, I think I know the new loophole and have been trying to find a tool to exploit it as I’ve accidentally stumbled across it a couple months ago and got a PR3 in less than a month on a brand new site. (hint: TC?)
89 Adrian // Jul 12, 2009 at 1:03 am
@ Den - Do you use the ping list provided? Thats what I did as well, only 1-2 pages indexed.
90 Adrian // Jul 12, 2009 at 1:04 am
Would you be willing to share your blog url via email? (so I can do backlink checks to compare).
I’m doing article marketing for my blogs now.
91 Rochester Jewelry // Jul 12, 2009 at 4:36 pm
I too am looking forward to this… I have been a loyal Chris Rempel/Dave Kelly customer, using Linkvana and The Ranking Loophole to great effect. This sounds like a winner!
92 denny // Jul 13, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Sorry, these tips are as far as I go. But you can google for ping list or hit your favorite forum. I just wanted to give a little back to these guys by leaving my story. I’m sure my loophole numbers pale compared to many out there, but at least it shows others are making a fair return. -d
93 Ken // Jul 14, 2009 at 11:13 am
Chris,
I’m not quite sure what to think about all this with the loophole s/w, etc.
I downloaded the s/w and will use it. But I feel perhaps you’re making a mistake offering it for free. Here’s why I say this…
Basically it will get abused all to hell. That can happen anyway with paid for s/w, sure.
But it will not take long to find its way into god knows who’s pc. And there will be enough idiots who will abuse the hell out of it until site owners decide to do something about it.
I would have gladly paid you for your s/w.
Secondly, about profit loophole…
I get the impression a lot of marketers think the “rest of us” are all the same in that we all want to make a quick buck, we’re lazy, we all fall for the hype of online $$$, etc.
But we are not.
So, with profit loophole. 4 hrs a day for about 5 months and selling a site for several thousand, or whatever. That’s 20 hrs/week, 80 hours/month… for 5 months = 4000 hrs.
Is that for one site? Even at minimum wage you’re talking about 24-25k for a site.
I’m really a bit at a loss for what to think about all this.
Anyway, this is all a bit disappointing. But thank you for the s/w, good luck, and take care.
94 admin // Jul 14, 2009 at 3:54 pm
@Ken,
You misunderstood the PL salesletter.
The point is to build 5 sites a month, which would take roughly 20 hours a week. Half the time of a full time job.
If you promote them accordingly and then sell them when they “trigger”, you can very feasibly replace your job income.
And the tone of the salesletter is one of REALISM.
I’m not saying people are lazy.
I AM saying that it takes time to get good at marketing.
Took me the better part of 3 years just to reach a spot where I finally “got it”.
And as I get to know more and more fulltimers, the story is similar.
This is something people can do in the meantime, if they can’t afford to spend time on things that REQUIRE marketing skill.
It’s an alternative.
Each site is built and marketed very quickly.
It’s not about building/promoting “one site” every 5 months.
It’s about building and eventually SELLING 5 sites (or more) every single month.
If you are interested in generating consistent revenue where not everything is hinging on performance and traffic.

Hi Chris,
I’ve been using Authority Loophole for a few hours now and have a few observations:
• it works very well and returns some great results
• I’m not sure I would call it ethical - you are, after all, ’stealing’ a link that someone else has worked to earn
• a more ethical approach would be to use your own name and comment on enough posts to earn a place on the Top Commenters list - often that only takes 3 or 4 comments
• Bloggers are already beginning to notice regular commenters adding comments with a different email address and tone than normal - how long before they stop using TC because they feel it’s being abused?
• Top Commenters doesn’t seem to update immediately, even on blogs which don’t moderate.
• An alternative to TC is Recent Comments - if you find some high PR blogs which use RC as well as TC - bookmark them and comment regularly, you’ll find that you’re more often than not in the RC list in the blog’s sidebar.

I have been using Authority Loophole now for a couple days. I also agree with Kenny, it is better to make your own top commentator position through only a few comments. Don’t cut in line.
Can anyone help with this question?
I have a question about Akismet and getting banned from comments? One of my domains is blocked from commenting. I get a blank screen for each comment entered. I’m only blocked on this one domain.
I sent an inquiry to Akismet and got the following response.
**********************
Hi Brian,
You’re not banned by Akismet. Akismet isn’t a blacklist. It adapts to the preferences of each blog.
Your comments aren’t often being published because most people regard comments and web sites like yours to be spam.
Kind regards,
Alex.
***************************
It appears that Akismet is evaluating website domains if they are worthy. The one blocked is an entertainment video WP blog. What can I do to comment against the domain again??

If anyone feels this software may be “grey hat”, you can always use it to find the no-follow blogs and leave a anchor text comment without using the top commenters plug in.
Don’t forget, there is always the second option in using this software as well.
98 Carlos // Jul 16, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Hey Chris,
One downfall about this free linking method is that the anchor text is the website URL or name… so even though you can get a PR5 link it will not have the same SEO value as having the same link but with keyword rich anchor text…
Is there a way to use this method using any desired anchor text link?
Thanks!
Carlos

Chris,
Sounds like a win win situation here.I’ll be watching and waiting.

Hi Chris,
I just read your latest email about pulling the Authority loophole. I dont see why people were getting that excited , if you do a google search for “fatface” plus “leave a comment” to an extent the results you would get are the same. Authority loophole is just a tidy way of doing this.
Using the Wordpress top commentators “loophole” falls into the so what to me, you still have to write the comment and that takes the tome.
Dont sweat it….
