I will make the sales page live tomorrow… although technically tomorrow is only 10 minutes from now. I want to get a good night’s sleep for once though so… some time in the next 8 to 12 hours, it will go live and there will be an announcement here, as well as to the announcement list at www.macroking.com/uncs.htm and on the NC and PGI forums.

Thanks in advance for all the support everyone, and welcome to the soon-to-be new owners!

If you’re already an owner, or you are on my announcement list, then you already know. Version 3.0 of my Ultimate Niche Creator Setup system will be released shortly… it is technically ready, I’m just testing the download & delivery mechanisms now to make sure everything works reliably. I can’t handle doing this through email again!

I have not yet settled on how many copies I will sell this time, nor on exactly what the price will be. I’m considering several possibilities, and once I decide then I will make the order page live. Current legal owners (yes, there are non-legal ones out there… *sigh*) will be upgraded at no cost.

If you have lots and lots of websites, you almost undoubtedly at SOME point or another have found yourself staring at hundreds, perhaps THOUSANDS, of empty folders because of some script or another that you ran. How do you get rid of them all without going insane in the process???

I was just faced with this dilemma, and of course a little web searching turned up the solution!

This is a shell (SSH) command, so you must have shell access in order to execute it. The command is:

find -depth -type d -empty -exec rmdir {} \;

I’m going to make this available for sale one more time, as well as upgrading all former owners free of charge. Go to http://macroking.com/uncs.htm if you want to be notified of 3.0 availability. I’m not sure how many copies I’ll make available this time, but I’ll at least make it available to everyone who signs up on the announcement list. I anticipate I should have everything ready and documented within a couple of weeks at most. I haven’t yet settled on a price, but it will be higher than before.

I’ve had Website Position Wizard ever since it was first announced, and when the paid “Pro” version was released, I jumped on the upgrade. As mass ranking-check programs go, this one was the easiest to work with in terms of push a single button and get all your results. Only thing was, I had to run it manually every day if I wanted daily data. Yes, I could’ve written an AutoHotKey script to automate the process, but that takes time and frankly it just never seemed to warrant that much effort.

OK, I think I know what you’re thinking… “What the hell kind of blog post title is THAT???” Well, you’ll probably see in a minute what I meant.

Many of you probably know by now that I am no longer using blogs for portal building. Not that they aren’t good tools or anything, I just decided a few months back (just before all the new blog automation tools came out) that they took too damn much effort and time to set up, post to, and maintain. Not to mention the extra resources all those MySQL calls and RSS2Blog activity were hogging. So I simply stopped using them and have developed techniques that don’t require blogs.

I’m actually almost paralyzed by the shock of this. I just figured out (it really wasn’t hard!) a method that will allow me to build pretty much as many sites as I want, at a rate of somewhere around 30 seconds per site or so. This is just crazy cool. Of course there is still the keyword gathering, the blog & ping, and all the other parts of the portal puzzle. But as far as building the sites, I can now go from a brand new domain, to 100 functioning completely set up sites on 100 different subjects, in less than a half hour.

Hi everyone… sorry for the lengthy absence, I’ve had a TON going on. Between “normal” end-of-the-year stuff, creating and supporting sales of my method for centralized control of NicheCreator sites, my other business ventures, and a zillion other things, I just haven’t sat down to write here recently.

But, you know me… I love free stuff, expecially if it solves a particular problem or need! And today I think I may have found just such a free solution for some of you. I have no used it yet, but it looks very intriguing (oh and did I mention it’s free? ;))

Dave W. over on the NC forum just posted this and gave me permission to re-post it here, so this is really hot off the presses!

Check this out! It’s awesome and FREE! I just recently got and subsequently recommended Indexing Tracker, which is quite excellent and much “prettier” than Dave’s new tool, but Website Position Wizard is pure utility. It does what it needs to do quickly, easily, and even has some nice historical data tracking that IT is missing. All in all, Dave is coming out with some truly fantastic stuff and continues to do so here.

I told myself I wasn’t going to mention this in a public fashion until I was more sure of its results, features, stability, etc. But then I’d hate to think that people whom I consider friends (as I feel many of you reading this have become!) missed out somehow because I took my time.

So, what am I going on about? Well as many of you undoubtedly know, I’ve been using NicheCreator for a month or so now, and I like it a LOT. Prior to that, I was using Traffic Equalizer, which I’ve stopped using now that I have NC.
