		<description>I ended up buying it last night and installed it on a few sites  and while I may play with it a bit more over the weekend, I&#039;m pretty sure I&#039;m going to wind up requesting a refund.

My biggest complaint is it loads very slow. I&#039;m on hostgator and it takes ages to load.  Also, maybe it is great with Ebay listings, but there is no way I am risking my EPN account. So I&#039;m using Amazon and nearly all of the listings it pulls from Amazon are crap -- items out of stock, items irrelevant to the keywords. Did I mention the pages load slow? No one is going to stay long enough to click an Amazon link in the first place. LOL It is slower than phpbay which is making database calls.

I know it is supposed to be just a toss things up and see what sticks kind of software, but if I&#039;m going to take some time to do keyword research I want some granularity. I want to be able to tweak the settings enough to actual pull highly relevant related content.

Also, it is just way spammier than I was expecting. This is beyond just a thin affiliate site. The sites are garbage. In my opinion, Google may not like thin affiliate sites, but they are perfectly useful to a visitor who is looking to buy something specific. These sites though aren&#039;t useful at all.

You really can only make money with it by putting up tons of sites and if you are using Amazon I doubt very much that you could actually earn a dollar per day per site. And I just don&#039;t want to put 100 garbage websites out there and I don&#039;t want to spend 80 bucks on Info domains that I know will be de-indexed in a few months.

Oh, and I would think the footprint is very obvious. I have no idea how they can say it doesn&#039;t have one.  The layout appears to be exactly the same for every site. How is that now a footprint?</description>

		<description>Yeah, I know why it&#039;s jumbling and stuffing your content--the idea is to give the searchbots fresh content every time the page is loaded.  The stuff I saw on the site I looked at reminded me of the crap that I have to clean out of my Akismet every morning.  It&#039;s buried down at the bottom where it hopes your customers don&#039;t go to look--they just click on your affiliate buttons.

So it&#039;s built to take advantage of Google&#039;s fresh content bonus over and over again, as a substitute for backlinking.  Not a bad idea, actually, while it lasts.</description>

		<description>You can narrow the Amazon listings to certain categories, but the number of categories they&#039;ve built into it is very limited. None suited the niches I already have domains for.

As for content, I actually loaded up my own content. But whatever you upload is just turned into nonsense stuffed with keywords. There&#039;s some kind of Markov script that&#039;s taking whatever articles you add and spinning them then spitting out random bits of it. If you load a few articles, it actually jumbles them all together then stuffs it with the keywords for whatever page it is on. Basically, it&#039;s just for search engines, i.e. completely useless for actual visitors.</description>

		<description>Thanks, Thea.  The sample site I saw was really spammy looking, but I wondered if the software has options for narrowing the type of product it calls for display so you don&#039;t get all kinds of weird, unrelated crap that no one wants.  And you do  have the option of writing your own articles instead of scraping them and/or spinning them.

But 1,500 pages in one sitting seems like overkill to me, Googlebait or not.</description>

		<description>Good to see you over here, Lissie.  Yeah, having a big personality has its risks.  My impression of Vic is that he&#039;s a sweetheart unless you mess with him or his peeps.  IMO the roll-out for this was pretty damn quiet compared to a John Chow or Gary Conn bonanza, and I wouldn&#039;t put it past Vic to give up some income in the near term so his friends can use it and make commissions on it before it wears out its welcome.  If not, well, I&#039;ve been wrong before in this business and the sky didn&#039;t fall.</description>

		<description>You  make a point I hadn&#039;t realised up until the last day or 2 - Vic really polarizes people even in our little corner of the Internet. I await with interest to see what happens - but I know something for a fact if I don&#039;t build sites with Niche Devil then I will never make any money with it - stands to reason really!</description>
