Sending FTS Notifications – Feedback Needed



Free Traffic System Members,
We Need Your Feedback/Suggestions
About an Important Thing Inside Our Membership

As a member of Free Traffic System you have access to the tools of sending articles/comments to the blogs with traffic and PR, spending credits on it. The blogs – on the other hand – can make money from publishing articles and comments on their pages.

From the emails that we started to receive to our support we noticed that lots of Free Traffic System members…

…both blog owners and content submitters
need a NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

Owners of the paid blogs often say, “We didn’t know that articles were pending. If we knew, we would have logged in and approved the ones we want and make $$$ from publications.”

Submitters of paid articles and comments also want a faster decision. They don’t want their content pending for approval/decline for days or weeks.

That is why we are asking our community to help us and share YOUR OWN VISION of what can be the best system to notify paid blog owners and content submitters about:

- new paid content coming in for verification;
- approval/decline of the paid content;
- OR any other notifications you think to be appropriate.

We want to make sure that this system is convenient, ethical and effective in helping every member to maximize the power of article and/or comment publication on blogs with traffic and PR.

That is why any ideas that will help us to build this system will be highly appreciated.

    I think it’s a very important thing to consider.
    Today the real problem is “TIME”, so every service that sends updates in real time will be a great improvement. Thanks

    It is better if you add notification feature

    yes i was in my admin section the other day and thought that there needed to be some sort of automated reporting system instead of manually clicking thru and copy/pasting the approved articles etc

    would also be great for some sort of tracking system so that we know which domains of ours we had submitted to which blogs in the system, so we can select targeted, yet different, sites each time for max effect

    thanks

    I think it would be great if the members got notification emails on their articles like a confirmation once approved for publication . And also a word of warning to pass on wordpress considers FTS a cheat program for fooling search engines in order to gain a high ranking my blog was shutdown because i ran a review with a link in it . However if you have your own hosting and domain name they won’t bother you .

    I agree with the previous post – notification would be great.

    I think it is a great idea. Today, with so many things going on, the issue is time & I find that when we are not notified of acceptance/rejection I am wasting a lot of time to login on all the sites to check the status.
    A simple email to notify us would do the job.
    Thanks for your understanding.

    Yes this should be a way to improve the service and to be more ethical and effective towards the blog-forum owners. If they know that this is working properly they can relax and leave auto-approve on.

    One more thing is that for free member, now all the blog owners are PR0. So if we upgrade, perhaps, its the same deal like free member. In this case, might as well we look for blog owners with PR3 and above on Google search and write for them.

    Hello. I think that adding notification system would be great solution.

    Regards.

    Yes I would like to see quicker approval of articles but I would also like more information when the status is “declined” or, more frequently, “error”. It would be helpful to know what “error” means and in both cases which site was involved or I might well resubmit to the same site.

  12. Kitty said on December 21st, 2011 7:01 pm

    Totally agree with the above poster. When there is an error, you should be told why. I also have blog comments I made late October/early November that still haven’t been approved. Maybe the blog owner doesn’t know, or maybe it was declined. How do I know when the only message is “new”? A notification system would improve the system.

    Notification would be a good step. However, I am not sure if you know, but there is a big problem finding quality paid blogs to submit articles to. I spend hours looking for a quality blog to submit to and they are almost impossible to find. When I do, I submit and often my articles are rejected and I have no idea why.

    First, about 1/3 of all blogs are no longer functioning. PLEASE create a system to take blogs out of FTS when they no longer exist.

    Second, the majority of the blogs have poor quality content. Even those which require payment seem to not be reviewing the posts. I do not want to pay for a post to be included in a spammy blog. I am looking for quality paid blogs which will accept a well written post and they are so difficult to find.

    Third, I have the feeling that some blog owners are not even looking at the posts and the posts are automatically rejected after two weeks. I hope that a notification system would improve it. But currently, we sumbit and waste two weeks until the post is rejected. We do not know why it is rejected, if it is due to quality or the fact that the post was not even reviewed by the blog owner.

    Here is my suggestions: FTS could have a system showing the percentage of blog posts that are accepted in the past week, month and year. A blog owner that is accepting either 0% or 100% of blog posts is probably not reviewing the blog posts. They are probably either ignoring the posts and we are wasting our time or they are accepting all posts and again we are wasting our time.

    If that does not work for you, then please consider a system where we can rate the blogs for the speed of acceptance and the quality of the content. It would make the search for blogs to be much easier.

    I certainly agree and appreciate that notifications will just be fine with everybody.

    To be honest with you, I missed the old FTS. It was easier than v2 when it comes to submit articles since we dont need to deal with each of blog owners. When moderator approved it, the articles will go to all selected blogs in the system automatically and blog owners no need to do anything.

    I would prefer leave the above method for non paid blogs. And for paid blogs, let the owner of the blogs do the approval.

    Also, would it be nice if there are 2 categories. one for free blogs and the other for paid blogs. Since we have to select manually a hundred blogs with consideration of choosing the relevant blogs as well as the free ones (if you go for the free ones), it would be a time saving if you divide those paid and free blogs into different categories.

    I used to submit every damn day into old FTS, but not anymore in this v2.

    I would like to see a user feedback, When one gets scammed then they can tell the whole community. Or you could have a good bad voter system. when a blogg gets enough bad votes its thrown out of the system and the owner notified so they can improve

  17. mike said on December 23rd, 2011 11:37 pm

    The process is simple.
    1. Fix the way you submit articles to other sites. Sure keywords are important but web owners want quality content. There should be some type of way to detect if the article is being duplicated into another website or is non readable. Also nobody likes spinned articles, this should be removed. A unique article per sit, that’s safe seo.

    2. what would be a better solution is submitting an article and getting it auto approved, having a system that detects that article is unique and readable. something like a score system to respect not just giberish being sent at random and 1 unique article per site not 1 at every 20 sites, it will be difficult to see who the actual owner of the content this way.

    3.have some type of alert on article submitters for what blogs were already submitted (sometimes i do not want to submit to same site and then i end up doing so because dam webmaster decided to make another slot for himself) this would help if the blog sites were highlighted notifying you that an article was already submitted there. (it’s simple leave an indication or color on what sites were submitted already, i don’t want the same site submitted to again)

    4. If there is still bitching about the articles do the following. webmaster has deadline to respect (lets say 4 days max) after this period the submitter needs to resend the article to another site. i am not waiting a year before they decline or do anything about it. There is a difference between bad quality and just being a real ass, and by ass i mean picky. If that is the case what are you doing here?

    5. If the article you want to submit isn’t good enough, IM me or send me an email, i can supply people with good articles but at a price.

    Email notification would be great. A blog owner or a submitter should have a right to choose if he/she wants to be notified.

    Also I would suggest another improvement for article submition:
    at the moment when i submit an article both paid and non-paid blogs are comming up. so it would be great if I could ask the system to show me only unpaid or only paid blogs. It will be much quicker and comfortable to submit different kind of articles!

  19. Forex platforms said on December 26th, 2011 1:11 pm

    I don’t understand the logic of putting a price for PR0 blogs. Who would waste his time to create one unique article and submit it to PR0 blog? As for me all blogs with PR0 should be for free submition.

    I also think it makes no sense to put any price for PR0 blog UNLESS… this blog has good targeted traffic and blog owner attached screenshots proving this traffic.

    If this blog has no traffic and no PR – then the blog owner of this blog is putting an unrealistic price and no one will pay for it.
