Is it a Dump?

Hey out there! I paid them the $15 to have the additional sites to submit to. It's great except that most of the scripts are outdated! I certainly CAN program myself but I purchased the scripts for sake of time. When, if anyone knows, will they send us new updated engine files? I have already contacted them BUT they said to wait.

here [webmasterworld.com] is some info for canada.com and this [webmasterworld.com] is for fast.

As far as other engines, we're working on finding out for you.

Do you work on the program?

>>Do you work on the program?

"We" is referring to the moderators who may have done some updating on their own.

No I don't work on the program, I just use it for submitting. Hopefully as soon as everyone is back from the extended holiday, we can come up with more information.

Did the Dumptruck people tell you how long you needed to wait for their updates by chance?

No. Just said they were WORKING on it.

Thank you for the 2 scripts but there are MANY other engine scripts that are outdated by far and trafficstudio hasn't done an update to their scripts since April of last year! Any one else have updated scripts they can share? What about Infoseek? There must be a way around that one.
Thanks guys!

What about the scripts for the common engines? Are they all still okay? I was just using the "view response" option (something I rarely do) and I noticed that some of the pages I was sent to did not say something like "thanks for submitting" but instead said something like "to submit your site...".

An example, Go has changed their submit page to offer the option of paid or regular submission - does DumpTruck need to be updated or all my URLs still getting sent to Go?

Looking at the dumptruck report for submitting to Go, originally a 302 "temporarily moved" response is received, but then a 200 response "OK" is right below the 302 response. It looks like Go is handling it OK on their end, but the dumptruck program could be updated to avoid any future problems which may occur down the road.

I stopped using Dumptruck when I believed the company had gone bankrupt - which was quite disturbing. When I recently heard that it hadn't I went back to have a look at their latest version. I was disappointed to find that they were not keeping up with the changes in the SEs. This put me right off it. Having said that, I would *never* use a submission program on the top 8 search engines!

After some waiting for the Dumptruck people to get back with me, I took matters into my own hands. I have updated virtually all of the scripts myself and they work too!!!
So email me at internetraffic@yahoo.com if you want the updated scripts.
