Why do my confirmed urls show redirect links?

[zebrachriss]

I've noticed that I'll have 1000 our of1050 links like the following as confirmed backlinks --> http://www.futurama-madhouse.net/cgi-bi ... sional.com

These are simple redirects, not backlinks, so I'm receiving no SE rank from 3 days of running the NO HANDS SEO BOT. Is there a way to eliminate these from being made and have the bot spend more time actually making backlinks? (:

You have full control over what types of links NHSEO will post to. You can prevent Link Shortener type links by going into the advanced settings and disabling the Link Shortener platform types and go to the Link Shorteners tab and unchecking the "Active?" checkbox.

A lot of these types of sites' redirects will class as a link and are good for indexing purposes as well as being an easy link to get.

3 days is a very short time to expect any kind of SE boost, most of the time it will take weeks or even longer, and that is assuming everything is setup efficiently.

Gotcha, the issue I'm seeing is that 95% of the links confirmed are shortner links instead of real solid backlinks.

If I turn off the shortner links, will the bot put more effort into creating real backlinks or the same effort?

[zebrachriss]

So I unchecked the shortner links platform then restarted NO HANDS SO, however it created a ton more shortner links instead of backlinks.

Is there another way to eliminate these shortner links so that the 50 links per day are not 100% shortners, but instead backlinks? This is very important.

Thanks bud (:

You also need to disable the "Active?" option in the Link Shorteners tab as well.

[zebrachriss]

Yes, that's what I did. I unchecked the "active" box so link shorteners would no longer be used.
HOWEVER even after restarting the bot, the backlinks continue to be shortener links instead of backlinks.
Ideas?

Still wondering how to get real backlinks instead of shortner links, even after following your instruction.

You do have the built in proxy harvester enabled. The entries with "Removed non-working proxy" and "Found working proxy" are only ever put in the log from the built in proxy harvester.

The Setup Wizard will never set Google as a search option when using public proxies, there is no option for using the built in proxy harvester with the Setup Wizard.

The Setup wizard will actually disable the internal proxy harvest as it is not advised for the vast majority of users, it will setup the proxies to use the ones output by No Hands Proxies and it will set the search options correctly. You can change the thread settings to your liking without too many issues but it is not advised to touch any of the search options or proxy options as they will be set to their best with the Setup Wizard.

NHSEO will not just be running a single profile, if you have multiple profiles and they are all active and have no limit to the amount of links then it will eventually get to them to post links. You can clearly see that the "Posted" figure in all but the tier profile is higher than 0 so it has been trying to promote those profiles but if the proxies are no good or setup incorrectly it will be failing on it's web requests resulting in no links being confirmed.
