In my search to maximize posting of this weblog, I came across an add-on from Firefox known as Submit’emNow 2.0. Submit’emNow 2.0′s Lead developer, Alexei A. Sergeev and Alexei A. Korolev, its Project manager made it accessible to the public on the 25th of October in 2006.
Submit’emNow is a freeware directory submitter that allows you to submit your site or blog to various internet search engines and directories in a half automatic mode (like manual submission, but much faster).
Submit’emNow allows you to considerably reduce the time and simplify the process of site submission preserving the quality of manual submission at the same time. Firefox, as it writes on its website, “You can submit your blog to 100 blog and rss directories!” (for further info, visit https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3240
Features include,
- Reduce Submission. TimeSubmit’emNow takes care of small details thus allowing you to reduce the time necessary to promote your resources in search engines.
- Support of Vary Directories. Fully automatic site submission software can neither correctly select the category for your site nor enter numbers displayed in images that resources display in order to prevent search spam.
- IntelliBackLink. The revolutionary IntelliBackLink technology allows you to submit your site to resources that require a backlink as fast as if they would not require a backlink at all.
- Manual Quality Submission. Submt’em Now allows you to completely control the process of submitting your site thus guaranteeing 100% quality.
- No Reasons for Ban. The user controls Submit’emNow so it is not an automatic search spam program that can harm the promotion of your site in search engines and even result in it being banned. (features info taken fromhttp://www.submitemnow.com/
Given these features, this Firefox add-on can really drive a weblog content writer to use it. But what if this piece of heaven is just an icing on a cake? I tried using this software last night but before I could even use it I had to setup Firefox since I didn’t have one. I’ve had one before but I unistalled it due to bugs, it just keep on crashing and I couldn’t even get a good help from Firefox’s IRC channel, #firefox, that is if you use mIRC.
I was using Firefox 3.0.3 at that time. I prefer not to elaborate the technical support experience but to give you a hint, I’ve contacted them five times yet could not get enough of what I needed so I just decided to remove it. Anyway, after I redownloaded Firefox, which now has a new version, Firefox 3.0.4. I continued to download this Submit’emNow 2.0 add-on. Hopeful that I am, it is just surprising what I got in return. I’ve had compatibility issue regarding the use of Firefox3.0.4, which was their latest version of the browser, with this add-on.
Take a look at the screenshot I’ve attached below:
Meaning, it cannot be used with the latest version of Firefox. According to their webpage, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/versions/3240
“Be Careful With Old Versions. These versions are displayed for reference and testing purposes. You should always use the latest version of an add-on.”
Here’s Submit’emNow Version History with Changelogs: — October 25, 2006 — 90 KB Works with: Firefox: 1.5 – 2.0.0.* Minor bugs fixed
Version 27.09.2006 — September 27, 2006 — 120 KB Works with: Firefox: 1.5 – 2.0.0.* Submit’emNow 2.0 was the same version they have on their website www.submitemnow.com
Firefox knows that this version is outdated but how could they keep such add-on be posted if it’s not working? Well, it might work with the older versions of Firefox but who knows if there are still some end-users using Firefox1.5-2.0.2 when in fact, based on experience, whenever Firefox releases a newer version, some of the changes are not be applicable with the older version so tendencies are high for an end-user to update their browser.
If Firefox says that older versions of add-ons like this are for reference and testing purposes only, it only means that Firefox keeps a lineup of add-ons just to show that at some point in time, these add-ons existed. However, Firefox still advise its users to always use the current version of an add-on.
