Day 55 and 56 - Bum Marketing Adventure
Sorry I missed updating last night. I was coding like a mad man into the late hours. I get in a zone where I HAVE to fix my code before I do anything else. By the time that was done, it was 3:20AM.
I've really been working hard on this social bookmark submitter. So far it can submit to 5 different sites. I'd like to get it up to at least 10. I need to figure out a better way to keep track of how well the submissions are getting done though. Sometimes the sites don't update quite fast enough and the code reports the link as not being there, but when I log in, it is. Perhaps move the error checking to the back of the code and put a 10 second delay before it runs or something. I just get a little annoyed seeing an error in submission only to log in and find it there, heh. The point of the tool is to NOT have to login, lol. Oh well, if I can get it working with 10+ sites (I'll keep going until I run out) it'll be well worth it. I want at least 10, but I'd like 15-20.
Still, frustrations aside, I think that's pretty good for somebody who knew zero Perl just 3 days ago.
Eventually I'd like to make it so it post links on my blogs and automatically ping to however many sites I can find. I'm sure I'll think of other neat things. I know that right now it's pretty much just wasting my time...but when it's done it'll be pretty sweet to have a tool that'll get me indexed in (probably) under 2 days consistently and help me stay ranked high. All I'll have to do is fill out a small form and submit.
