Funny you should ask...I tried to check it out about a week ago and had some trouble with registration so I emailed Ankur. He sent me the details but I haven't tried it since.

this is more about how he handled the project - having 10 sites is better than 30 but not working LOL and this gmail thing is a nightmare - I had 100 working accounts - they stopped working yesterday

You know...This is the best way to fight spam, blow up the free email accounts.

Without the email accounts things get much, much tougher.

It's getting harder and harder to get email accounts, almost daily now, and it's not just gmail. It seems Yahoo and AOL are cracking down big time.

The way to counter this is to use the very same strategies I've posted here for years...We need to go "deep" instead of "wide".

By this, I mean we should register for a wide variety of resources using a few accounts, instead of trying to create a bunch of accounts at the same recources.

I believe content should be converted to other media, like pod casts, pdfs, etc and submitted to give a better variety. Also, things like contests, press releases, software submission, etc.

When you really think about it, depending on free email accounts for manipulating the SERPs provided by the search engines themselves is a plan waiting to fail...And it is the SEs that also give the emails.

Also, we're going to need to get email addresses at a variety of places. It may even be an option to buy some cheap .info domains that offer free email forwarding.

regarding domains I had a similar idea - but it looks like they are going to integrate AOL now -

And AOL returns Google results, which means Google has some good connections with AOL. Plus, AOL will probably get hit with tons of auto-reg now and need to crack down in the future.

I can see it becoming very hard to create free accounts and even harder for them to be accepted by sites.

UPDATE - well you cant use AOL for Blogger blogs...

I wasted a unique article on this software and got 2 Blogs created (out of 30 - they even included more services) and those 2 Blogs were not even interlinked - LOL

Again, I think Ankur is a good guy that just got in over his head with this project.

Those 2.0 sites are just getting hammered and changed things up all the time. You really need someone working full time to keep up with the needed updates.
