We have just released new version for the following products:

• UltimateDemon 1.0.5.0 (change log)
   
• BookmarkingDemon 6.0.1.0 (change log)
   
• ArticleDemon 2.0.1.0 (change log)

Some bug fixes and many new enhancements added to the software.

Most significant enhancement will be the daily submission snapshot:

Make sure you know how to setup your catchall address with your hosting company. Not all hosting companies allow catchall email due to massive abuse.

Once you have setup your catchall address with your hosting company, you can proceed to set it up in EdwinSoft's demons.

First, add the primary catchall email into the software, click the [+] button.

Setup the email settings for the primary email. Remember to test the settings and click [OK] to save.

Now you will set up the "fake" email. Click [+]. (You can set this up from the mail tab or during your task creation.)

Tick the checkbox "This email address forward to a catchall address".

Enter the "fake" email and select the primary email from the dropdown. The primary email will be used to "catch" emails that are sent to the "fake" address.

Which means to say all emails sent to "xxxxxxxx@maincaptchadomain.com" will go into "admin@maincaptchadomain.com".

On 21st February 2012, we said that we will release Wiki support in UltimateDemon on 6th March 2012. We have been working very hard to miss that deadline and we managed to miss it.

Today we present to you UltimateDemon version 1.0.4.0. Within this version, you will find:

New Wiki Platform

Increase your link diversity with Wiki.

New PR + IP + Alexa + WOT Scanner

With the new scanner, you can easily find out if a web site is trustworthy.

New Link Checker

It allows you to test if links are still online.

If you have not upgrade to this version, what are you waiting for? ;)

We have finally released UltimateDemon version 1.0.3.0.

More than 20 new enhancements have been added in this release.

The following is an excerpt from the change log:

• You can now retrieve seed articles to help you have a quick start in writing article for your article or Web 2.0 submissions. You can find it located right at the top of "Step 3" when you create/edit a task.
   
• Added contextual linking support for article directories (WordPress self-add only).

For more details, you can check out the latest change log.

In the next few days we will be releasing UltimateDemon version 1.0.3.0. In this new version, there will be more than 20 new enhancements added.

Today we will let you take a look at 1 of these many new enhancements - Contextual Linking.

Contextual linking allows user to insert keyword anchor links into the body content of their articles.

This feature will only be available to all self-added WordPress article directories.

We know there are moments that we will hit a mind block. There are just no inspiration to get us started in writing.

In the upcoming release of UltimateDemon, one of the new features that we are introducing is "Extract Seed Article".

Take a look at how easy it is to use:

A month has passed since the launch of UltimateDemon. Many great enhancements (more than 30) have been added into the software.

One of the feature that we want to highlight today is the link farm checker. Even though this feature has been there since day 1, in the latest version (1.0.2.0), we have brought it to the next level of simplicity.

You can now easily identify sites that are part of a link farm by simply right clicking on any site in the "Sites" screen and choose "Identify Sites With Same IP".

Take a look at how easy it is to use this wonderful feature:

It has come to our attention that there are users facing high failure rate when using UltimateDemon.

We have looked into this and we have found out the likely cause that it is due to account activation. The default time to retry email activation was set to be 3 minutes and apparently, that is too short.

This in turn caused the task items to fail with the error "Exceed Retry Limit".

How to check if you are affected by this:

• Select the task from your project screen that is 100% processed and have a high number of pending items
   
• Click [Task Log] from the toolbar.
   
• In the "Task Log" screen, mouse over the "Status" column and you will see a small funnel icon at the top right corner
   
• Click the funnel icon
   
• Select "Exceed Retry Limit" (1)
   
• Check the "Message" column to see if most of the items are displaying the message "Task delayed as no email containing activation link is found" (2).
  
  If you see a lot of items with the above message, you are one of the affected users.

A screenshot of how it will appear on your task log (click image to enlarge).

How to correct this:

Users who are facing this issue can fix it by applying the following steps:

• Select the task from your project screen
   
• Click [Task Log] from the toolbar.
   
• In the "Task Log" screen, select any item that has "Exceed retry limit"
   
• Click "Reset Retry Limit" from the toolbar
   
• Check "Reset all items that have exceed retry limits"
   
• Click [Yes]

UltimateDemon will retry email activation again.

Recommendation:

Set "Verify email after X minutes" to a larger number (10 minutes) when you create a task. This will provide sufficient time for emails to arrive in the mailbox.

What's going to happen next:

We will be looking into this and a new update that is aimed at addressing this issue will be released. We appreciate your patience.
