Jetsubmitter 2.0 Status

I just wanted to let everyone know I haven’t fallen asleep behind the upgrade… in fact I’ve barely slept at all since yesterday :-)

So far everything looks to have transfered correctly but I’m running final tests on all the new sites I added in.

Once they’ve completed and everything checks out then we’ll be good to go.  I’m hoping tonight/tomorrow.

Thanks!

Todd

Jetsubmitter/Jetspinner downtime tonight

Jetsubmitter 2.0 is ready to roll out!

I was able to complete all of the features listed in the previous post… plus a new kick A** auto-registration system!

100% automated account registrations… one of the #1 complaints with Jetsubmitter’s automated system was the fact that the registrations were automated but the user would still need to go in and confirm each and every activation link… a major pain…

Well now our system will basically ‘click’ these activation links for you!!

(And no this does not make our system a tool for spammers - we have systems in place to detect and remove anyone using the system for spamming article directories)

Tonight I will be taking Jetspinner and Jetsubmitter both down for server backups and final testing on the production server. This means you will have at least a few hours of down time. As long as no major problems arise during the move, the next time you Login you’ll see the new Jetsubmitter 2.0 interface and new features.

I’ll also put together a quick video to walk you through the new features and interface.

Jetsubmitter and Jetspinner will both be made unavailable to new user sign-ups for the next week until I have a chance to update the sales page and test server loads.

Jetsubmitter 2.0 on the horizon

Jetsubmitter 2.0 is well underway now. We’re revamping much of the backend, redesigning the interfaces to be more userfriendly, replacing dead sites with new ones, and adding much needed new features.

Improvements already underway include:

  • Much greater category support (over 150 categories now supported AND multiple tiered category selection, we will try to find a matching category in the order your specify for us as submissions occur)
  • Realtime Jetsubmitter progress spy (think digg spy) - you can watch as submissions, registrations, etc occur in front of your eyes
  • Pagerank of sites now shown
  • New sorting options for the sites tables
  • An even more detailed logging and error correction system
  • Project start and end date selection
  • More advanced repair features for failed account activations
  • Improved GUI
  • Importing from other spinning systems
  • and more!

These are the major issues that have arised over the past 5 successful months since Jetspinner and Jetsubmitter initally launched. We’ve grown to 3000+ Jetspinners and 300+ Jetsubmitters strong.

Jetsubmitter 2.0 will of course be a free an automatic upgrade for all current Jetsubmitter members.

Feel free to post or email us with your own suggestions for improvements.

Thanks for your support!

Multiple Penname Support & Advanced Error Checking

I just finished adding in 2 new systems to Jetsubmitter.

The first is multiple penname support. Each time you create a project you will now be able to specify the select of a specific penname to use. If no pennames are showing then that means you have not added one since the new system was added. Simply go to add a penname and add the penname you would like to use. It’s ok to use one you’ve already previous used.

Multiple penname support

The second update should greatly cut down on the confusion regarding why your submissions fail.

From now on anytime a project fails submission to a site Jetsubmitter will log the error for that site.

The most common errors are:

  1. Login Error - This most likely means that you need to run repair account signups, either the confirmation email was never confirmed or it timed out with the site
  2. Site Error - This usually means the site you were submitting to was down during the time of submission or has some kind of error out of Jetsubmitter’s control.
  3. Penname Error - You’ll see this error when the penname you created previously could not be registered because someone at the site is already using this penname. You can either start using a new penname or add an alternative penname that will be used by default if the primary can not.
  4. Article Spinning Error - If all of your sites are failing this is the most likely issue. You will need to make sure in Jetspinner that “Allow Jetsubmitter To View Spins” is checked AND that you can successfully spin the article in Jetspinner without getting a time out error or parser error. If you’re getting one of these 2 errors you have a { or } out of place. Simply break it down in paragraphs and test each one until you find the problem then spin the full article successfully.

Outsource your spun articles

Today we’ve added support for having your article spinning outsourced. You’ll be able to focus more on your business and less on writing articles!

This new feature makes it easy to share articles between users and manage projects.

New cool feature

We’re nearing the public release of jetspinner.com and Jetsubmitter.com is progressing nicely.

One of our beta testers presented a very powerful idea today, which I’m not positive he realized how great it was at first even.  But you’ll be able to take and explode your efforts more then I was even doing now!  Every person that wants to use your article will get their own unique version with ease.

Jetspinner Beta progress

The Beta is going extremely well.  A few small bugs have been weeded out but overall things look wonderful.

I’ve also completed a Data Merge feature which is very cool.  You can take a CSV database file with information regarding similar items with different specs and pull these specs and details into the article all automatically.  (car make/model/year/hp/etc, wine year/name/vineyard, tv model/res/size, cameras, anything!)

Also for anyone afraid that Jetspinner might be a little over their head there was a great unsolicited testimonial on a forum today:

“Hi Todd

Thanks for that, it works like an absolute dream, I was using ***(name removed)***  and couldn’t for the life of me find out what I was doing wrong, but it just wouldn’t spin a damm thing, I put the same article into yours without any changes and got 99 articles straight off… and it is far simpler to use, everyone knows how to “cut and paste”. The instructions….. I didn’t even have to read, (typical male) it really was that simple to use… way to go…

I look forward to you releasing “jetsubmitter”

Once again Thanks

Andy”
