As long time readers will know, I released Autostumble back in April 2008 (wow, yes coming up two years ago). At the time, it absolutely wtfpwned StumbleUpon and our network delivered just under half a million vote swaps.

The program went through a few versions, having various features added on the way and multiple fixes as StumbleUpon desperately tried to keep its pants up. The final (version 4, which was fixed in such a hurry it came out the factory with “v3″ still plastered on) was the last incarnation of the application.

Unfortunately, the time taken to monitor the network, answer support e-mails and keep the fixes coming was consuming more time than I ever intended. I worked with another dev to get an online version up, but that never got to a stable launch, so the whole thing basically gathered dust.

So three things:

1) I’ve released the Autostumble source code for download for anyone that wants to have a crack at reverse engineering it.

2) For those that can’t code There is actually a really nice copy of Autostumble which works, that is currently doing pretty well from what I can see. It also has a function to add reviews, which AutoStumble never had. So, if you still want to swap some stumbles, that’s the place to go.

3) I talked to the guy that runs it, and he has arranged this voucher code for old Autostumble users: AutoStumbleOld

Enter that code and you’ll get a pretty nice $20 off.

I’ve been working hard with the development team at the full-time SEO company I work at to develop some really nice apps for the SEO world, which shall be surfacing in Q2 of 2010. It’s really surprising what you can achieve when you have a team of full-time developers to help.

Anyway for now:

Coders can get Autostumble source code.

Marketers can get a working Autostumble type program.

This is all. [insert vague promising of posting more here].

I’ve been on twitter for probably about a year, but only really started using it recently. I’ve had quite a few emails asking what my twitter account is. So, to save some time you can find me here.

Anyone else having problems with Feedburner? Overnight, I’ve (apparently) dropped from ~1200 subscribers to ~500. A quick Google search shows lots of people reporting the same problem.

Anyone know what’s going on – or had a similar experience?

As long time readers will know, I’ve mainly used Digerati as a platform to publish articles on the more techy and blackhat side of SEO. This may not suit everyone, but it’s really something that interested me enough to post from a personal perspective.

Those of you that really pay attention will know I’m a director at Further Search Marketing. Further have just put their new website live, which we’re making inroads to have a really decent SEO Blog.

If you’ve enjoyed my writing style and content so far, it may be worth you subscribing to the Further SEO Blog, as I’ll be posting there more regularly than on Digerati.

I’ve already done what I would consider two, “good” posts:

Banned in Google? The Complete Guide: This article is aimed for those who have suffered a penalty or ban in Google and how to get listed again as quickly as possible.

The Google Sitelinks Guide – This is (as far as I’m aware) one of the most detailed posts on Google Sitelinks, how they work, how you can get them and what effect they seem to have on your site.

The posts on Further will be more business orientated, with less technical focus, but just as much detail (but less swearing).

So, if you’ve been an avid reader of Digerati, you can get more on your browser or in your reader.

Do it (:
