SocialPiG is in Alpha testing. We are so excited about this product, it has morphed into a beautiful and a powerful social backlinking animal.

The next step is to Beta test it, and that’s where we need your help!

We’re looking for just ten beta testers initially. The beta programme will start 1st Dec. Before you kindly volunteer yourself, please make sure you read the rest of this message.

Being a beta tester actually requires some work on your part so before signing up, please make sure you are ready for the commitment. You will need to dedicate several hours of your time (over a two-week period) to help flush out any bugs before SocialPiG is ready for general release.

Beta tester requirements:

• You must be an existing BlogPiG member
• You must actually use SocialPiG in a live environment (your site url is required)
• You should understand how WordPress should work and how to identify potential bugs
• You’ll need to document each step you took, what page you were on, and the bug behaviour

What a beta tester is not:

• Someone just looking for an early copy of SocialPiG (There will be bugs)
• Someone who is a member but not currently using any other BlogPiG products

VERY IMPORTANT: Ladies and gents, this is Beta software, I’ll say it again: there will be bugs. That means we do not recommend you test it on your favourite blog, your high earning blogs or any site which you hold very dear.

What’s in it for you? Well, you get a sneak peak at the software (useful if you want to line up any projects with it or have any intention to promote it) and we’ll make sure you’re well looked after when the product goes live.

If you are interested and believe you qualify to test SocialPiG, please post a comment below confirming:

• You have one or more live WP sites you can test this on
• You have the time to test it
• You understand what a bug looks like

I’ll then pick up with you over email.

Thanks in advance.

Anyway, I stopped digging for a moment today and happened to have a re-read of one of our product pages. I realised with some surprise that even though the video mentioned one of the unique selling points of TagPiG, the copy on the page itself really didn’t make mention of this key point!

Good grief, what’s the point in creating a great feature if you don’t tell anyone about it? (I said as I clipped Gary around the ear!).

I know that BlogPiG has a higher calibre of member than your average site – I mean, you’re all so resourceful, intelligent and good looking (will flattery get me anywhere?) but I’m guessing you’re not telepathic, well at least not many of you. So I thought I’d just highlight one of TagPiG’s features in case you’re not making use of it yet.

You’ll already know that TagPiG automatically adds themed tags to your blogs and allows you to manage them, therefore getting way more pages deep indexed by the search engines. But what you might not have realised is that there is a unique feature which rotates all the tags created so that you help preserve your page rank!

Let me explain: TagPiG might source 30 or even 50 tags which relate to your blog post. Now, if you were to display all 50 or so tags at one time, your page rank could be dispersed among the many sub pages and diluted. TagPiG avoids this potential concern by allowing you to set a maximum number of tags to display at any one time, say five, or seven, and it then rotates through the 50 tags. That means that each time Google’s bots return to your post they are presented with a new set of tags and so index a new set of tag pages. That way your page rank isn’t decimated but you still get all those pages deep indexed! Clever, huh?

For more information about TagPiG just go to the product page here.

Anyway, the product page has been duly updated but it got me wondering if we undersell ourselves anywhere else. If you ever spot a feature or benefit of one of our products that we have neglected to mention, let us know! If we include it on the product page we’ll say thank you with a year’s fee license to a product of your choice!

Best wishes as ever,

Fiona

Yeterday’s email wasn’t supposed to go out at all, it was just an intro paragraph for SocialPiG in BlogPiG Labs. I love Mailchimp’s RSS to mail feature but now and again it can bite you on the …!

Anyway, given the overwhelming response I don’t think too much harm was done. There were a lot of comments and emails so I’ve pulled together the main questions and included a short FAQ for everyone below:

Is it just me, or where’s the actual link to SocialPiG?
No it’s not just you, I screwed up yesterday, there is no link to SocialPiG up yet.

I’ve Been a user of Auto Social Poster since it first came out and I can absolutely say that this technique works. If you’ve got ‘trickle feed’ as well then I’m all over this. When can we dive in?
I know bookmarking works! Yes we do have trickle feed as you call it (I like that name). ETA is still 3 weeks I’m afraid.

How much is it and where can I buy it?
Costing is still TBD but it’ll be inline with our other plugins I imagine. There are services attached to it though. ProxyPiG, CaptchapiG etc.

How does it work?
SocialPiG works by automatically bookmarking your blog posts with several (+30 in phase 1) social bookmarking sites. It does this via a network of SB accounts that we maintain behind an proxy farm and captcha service so you never have to worry about account creation or maintenance ever again. Your posts are trickle fed into the bookmark network gradually to appear natural and build a large organic (deep) backlink network over time. The accounts are also periodically fed with authority sites to balance the average pagerank and domain age in each account. There are thousands of accounts & thousands of IPs available. The maths that goes on inside the bookmark network to control posting rates and times is pretty advanced too.

If anyone has any special requests for features or functionality please do leave a comment here. We’re a community driven development company, we don’t develop ideas in a vacuum.

Hasn’t this been done before?
Not like this. Sure there are plenty of Social Bookmarking tools and plugins out there and I’ve tried most of them. Don’t get me wrong, they’re good, some of them are very good in fact. The problem is they all make more work for me. I have to set them up, I have to create accounts, I have maintian the accounts, I have to schedule them, I have to tweak them, I have to worry about my accounts getting banned because they don’t trickle feed bookmarks, I have to create new accounts….blah! You get the idea, some of you have probabaly been there or are still there. Tools should’t make more work for you, they should just work! SocialPiG just works…

Is this the Holy Grail of automatic backling? (my question)
No, probably not on its own. It’s another string in your bow and a very powerful one at that. The fact that it has zero overhead is the real win here. BlogPiG labs will open soon and you’ll get to see all the other auto backlink goodies we have in development. A combination of them all may well be just the ticket ;)

Can I promote it?
Sure you can, I’ll add the SocialPiG links to our partner page as soon as it’s launched.

You can now enter multiple categories into the ‘category’ field of your import CSV file e.g.:

• Entering ‘products,wordpress plugins,csvpig’ into the category field would result in the post appearing in 3 categories
• Entering just ‘csvpig’ into the category field would result in the post appearing in just the child category

You don’t need to update your CSVPiG if you’ve already done it recently as this feature is already built in, we just forgot to document it! I’ll be adding it to user guide shortly.

If you don’t already have CSVPiG you can download it here:

With this in mind I’ve made an early decision not to follow the traditional hype based product launch so BlogPiG.com will be a BULLS**T FREE ZONE! You will not see any mention of the following words:

ninja, laser guided, holy grail, lazy, jerk, dominate, tsunami, flood, silver bullet, storm, unleash, quake, goldmine, riches, explosion, millions etc.

BlogPig will just be about delivering the honest facts about what this software can do for you and what results you could expect if you used it. If you do end up buying it then it will be for the right reasons and because you know it is the perfect tool for you, NOT becuase of my hypnotic writing style and a bunch of marketing claptrap.
