		<description>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  &quot;fatface&quot; plus &quot;leave a comment&quot;  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   &quot;loophole&quot; falls into the so  what  to me, you still have to write the comment and that takes the tome.

Dont sweat it....

		<description>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!

		<description>If anyone feels this software may be &quot;grey hat&quot;, 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&#039;t forget, there is always the second option in using this software as well.</description>

		<description>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&#039;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&#039;m only blocked on this one domain.

I sent an inquiry to Akismet and got the following response.

**********************
Hi Brian,

You&#039;re not banned by Akismet.  Akismet isn&#039;t a blacklist.  It adapts to the preferences of each blog.

Your comments aren&#039;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??</description>

		<description>Hi Chris, 

I&#039;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&#039;m not sure I would call it ethical - you are, after all, &#039;stealing&#039; 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&#039;s being abused?

• Top Commenters doesn&#039;t seem to update immediately, even on blogs which don&#039;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&#039;ll find that you&#039;re more often than not in the RC list in the blog&#039;s sidebar.

		<description>@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 &quot;trigger&quot;, you can very feasibly replace your job income.

And the tone of the salesletter is one of REALISM.

I&#039;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 &quot;got it&quot;.

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&#039;t afford to spend time on things that REQUIRE marketing skill.

It&#039;s an alternative.

Each site is built and marketed very quickly.

It&#039;s not about building/promoting &quot;one site&quot; every 5 months.

It&#039;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.

		<description>Chris, 

I&#039;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&#039;re making a mistake offering it for free. Here&#039;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&#039;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 &quot;rest of us&quot; are all the same in that we all want to make a quick buck, we&#039;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&#039;s 20 hrs/week, 80 hours/month... for 5 months = 4000 hrs. 

Is that for one site? Even at minimum wage you&#039;re talking about 24-25k for a site. 

I&#039;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.</description>

		<description>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&#039;m sure my loophole numbers pale compared to many out there, but at least it shows others are making a fair return. -d</description>
