5 Jun 2007 15:18 - Link Placement: We have been having a site purging period so many links that were not being displayed have been removed making link counts go down. On top of that we have had a few large clients join with big demands on server time slowing placement. Due to the latter we are considering ways to prevent this causing issues with placement and have introduced a limit to how many links an account can place in any 1 placement. So far we have chosen the following limits: Free account = 100 links per placement ; Advanced Features = 500 links per placement ; Unlimited Features = 1000 links per placement. These limits are a trial and we look forward to your feedback on our forum.
 
21 Mar 2007 19:50 - Improvements to server performance.

6 Nov 2006 10:52 - Link placement has been taking aproximately 20 hours so we have stopped placing at weekends to let other jobs catch up a bit, you will still get 6 or 7 placements a week.

11 Oct 2006 13:05 - Email server currently down, this will cause a few errors on the forum when posting.

26 Sep 2006 12:18 - After much feedback we have removed the max adsense ads filter from our algorithm. Please leave feedback in the forum if you would like to keep this in and how many ad blocks would be acceptable to you.
 
25 Sep 2006 16:50 - We are also making pages with more than 50 external links, pages > 200000 bytes and pages with more than 2 google adsense ads worth less.
 
25 Sep 2006 16:48 - We are applying a new parameter to the page verification which means that 138,000 urls will become worthless in the network, this will effect some peoples vaultages more than others. Any URL whose cached page has a different URL will now have 0 vaults.
 
19 Sep 2006 15:31 - Vaultage calculations didn't seem to run over the weekend, the job is too big to run during the week so expect an update this weekend. Subscribed members can click the link on sites / links screens to recalculate on demand. This will not effect normal link placement.

9 Jun 2006 14:30 - When we collect new page urls from your site we now collect more links at a time from subscribed accounts. 100 for free accounts, 500 for advanced accounts and 5000 (i.e. all) from unlimited accounts. This will speed up the vaultage gain for subscribed accounts.
 
9 Jun 2006 12:54 - For some reason the link counts on the 'Organise Links' page were wrong this morning, I have fixed them now and am investigating the reason.
 
18 May 2006 12:06 - Link placement has started to take longer than 24 hours, this has meant that there was no placement on Tuesday 16 May and will be none Thursday 18 May. We will be recoding the placement to reduce the time taken and in the meantime we will change the placement schedule to place every 36 hours 4 times a week.
 
5 May 2006 12:34 - You may have noticed that links have not been pushed for a few days, we are recoding to keep up with high demand and anticipate that all will be well by the end of next week (12 May 2006). In the mean time we aim to at least push links every 2 days and keep placement daily as it should be. Sorry for any inconvenience.
 
19 Apr 2006 16:17 - We have recently experienced some email problems, this has effected the forum and our main site both to a small degree in the form of errors during email operations. I have been out of contact for the duration of the email problems. Hopefully this has not caused anybody too much inconvenience.
 
6 Apr 2006 15:53 - We have made a decision not to place links at weekends. This decision has been made to improve the quality of the network and keep the data more up to date. Feel free to increase your links per day to compensate.
 
3 Apr 2006 14:26 - Links not pushed over the weekend, expect them to be pushed tonight.
 
27 Mar 2006 10:26 - Dugie will be working on and off for the next 2 weeks due to personal circumstances, as a result email responses and site / link approvals may be delayed.
 
15 Mar 2006 13:55 - Fixed the SQL deadlocking bug, scheduled link placement will resume on 16th March 2006.
 
14 Mar 2006 03:07 - Found a bug in sql that causes repeatable deadlock on database during link placement. Now I have found it and can repeat the error I will solve and get back up and running asap.

6 Mar 2006 14:59 - Multiple site ban functionality added for subscribed users.
 
27 Feb 2006 11:11 - To protect the network we are planning to reduce the number of pages you can use from your sites so if you are close to using all of your vaultage make allowances and either add sites or reduce your placed links appropriately. This will not happen for a few weeks yet although for those 18 sites that took advantage of the 10k or 7.5k pages offer a reduction to 5k will happen gradually over the next 2 weeks.
 
15 Feb 2006 15:10 - No links placed since 11 Feb 2006. New links expected later today - 15 Feb 2006. New batch calcs finished. Will see effects later today.
 
9 Feb 2006 00:13 - Working on batch calculations, vaultages and max link removals etc.. may not occur daily for 2 days.
 
7 Feb 2006 09:09 - Although link placement is working the push of the links to sites has been slow, we are working on this issue and it will be sorted soon.
 
6 Feb 2006 16:03 - Link placement daily time set +6 hours from normal time as of 7 Feb 2006.
