As you may know I signed up for a 7 day free trial of a software program called ‘SEnuke’ just about 7 days ago. In the last couple of hours before the trial was up, I just had to cancel the trial. I tried using the program and had nothing but trouble with it. There is obvious room for the possibibility I’m just a dumbass, but I don’t think that is the case. The program sounds good in the beginning. In fact had it worked like I expected it, I’d be their biggest fan, but alas that is not the case. It does have a couple of neat features. It has a niche finder that is suppose to help you discover vulnerable niches where you have a chance to dominate as they say. But it was my experience that whatever keyword search I did, the result was a message that said, “Don’t bother, not worth it.” I believe I did find one that said go for it…..I think it was ‘Brain Surgery in Transylvania.’
Another feature of the program was it’s ability at the click of a button to submit your articles to article sites and then bookmark those submissions on bookmark sites. I had nothing but trouble from day one. Now here is an update directly from their site concerning the afforementioned problem….SEnuke Problems To Be Fixed In A Few Hours
July 5th, 2008
Hey guys,
A script on our server which retrieves information for the different sites that SEnuke submits to has gone haywire. As a result, many sites that SEnuke submits to are having problems. This will be fixed in a few hours and all sites should start working properly. Please bear with us.
Thank you.
Now I admire them taking resposibility for the problems. But this software is not in the beta test mode. They are fully promoting it as a stand alone working model. And to entice you to see how wonderfull it was, they gave you a 7 day trial. Bravo. But at the end of the 7 days, they started charging $97 a month for the use of the program. For $97 a month, that thing better hum along with no problems as simple as bad script, and it better whisper sweet nothings in my ear and kiss me once in a while.
It does none of that. I guess what bother’s me the most, is they brought to the market a program that was not completely beta tested and did not perform as expected. If the program was $10 a month or even $47 flat out purchase I could cut them some slack. But iit is not at that level. They are in essence charging almost $1200 a year for a program that they say has a script go wrong.
I have written a lot of software, and when the software didn’t work, it was because I programmed something wrong in the beginning. It wasn’t that some script down the road decided to change it’s self and do some rogue damage. That’s not how software works. Now it’s true that you can not catch all the bugs at first. There maybe some functions that go haywire, but they were that way in the beginning. It’s just no one testing the program asked it to perform some task and then once someone did, they discovered the program had a glitch in it.
But that’s not the case here. Their glitch is one of the main functions and selling points of the software. I must say they have or had a great idea. But I don’t think, even if working correctly that it is worth $97 a month. I had high hopes for the program, but I must give it a
THUMBS DOWN rating.
