I’ve heard back from a few people that every man and their dog is out beating the drums and promoting SENukeX and saying it’s the best thing since sliced bread.
Me on the other hand I’m posting for a different reason:
I truly believe that the SENukeX is flawed and should not have been released in it’s present condition.
Why is SENukeX Flawed?
I mean SENukeX is missing fundamental functionality that should be used by anyone even attempting to do backlinking. Why would you submit articles and have no way to boost these powerful links. Everybody out there is submitting articles you need to fire backlinks into yours to get the search engines to take notice of them.
You have to think about these articles differently to lock in more number ones in the major search engines, these articles are submitted to some of the most powerful websites on the internet for getting backlinks so its best you know where they are.
The video about SENukeX below is best watched in full screen:
These websites are absolutely awesome for those long tail keywords that are pretty easy to rank for they just need a bit more power and they will stay on the number for a long time to come. By tracking these links it gives you far greater options for expanding your link building to 2 or more tiers with these supporting articles and enables you to lock in more of the number 1 spots for related keywords of your supporting articles.
It was a total let down for me to be told by SENukeX that article directories didnt supply urls to the actual articles or RSS feeds. From experience I know that Article sites do produce Author RSS feeds and if the software could pick up the links to the submitted articles then it would be able to use those to turn into RSS feeds and submit them to directories. This is a major flaw in SENukeX.
Plenty of cheaper products in this market offer this sort of functionality so I see no reason why SENukeX should not offer the same as it’s pretty basic SEO to boost your links in this manner.
I could not believe my eyes when SENukeX then told me that video sites do NOT produce RSS feeds so was then unable to submit those!
To be honest I expected more from SENukeX, a $147/mth software package.
For this sort of price I should not be restricted by the software for the linking structures I care to dream up. I mean I should be able to dream and conjure any “diagram” that I choose.
I think they spent to much time creating the slick polished exterior of SENukeX and not enough time spent on the core functionality that even the cheapest of software has in the same market has. They succeeded the polished product and product lauch but that does not make up for the lack of basic functionality.
Believe me if you’re using any other tools in this arena then you are NOT missing out on anything by not owning SENukeX, in fact I would say you are probably at an advantage.
I personally like to build backlinks holistically to my websites so my project is my website I want to have all the pages of my website under 1 project so I easily know what is going with what Im doing even if I leave it for a couple weeks.
With SENukeX you set a project per page which is just not the way I do things but that is only my personal preference not a fault with the software.
What was a fault of the software was relying on pixelpipe to submit videos and there being a problem with the way SENukeX handles the login. So the video submissions didn’t work for me.
Last but not least with a big launch of this type of software there must have been a massive increase in the number of sign ups on the websites included with the software, I think this caused a forum owner to take radical action because I went and checked it and there was a message from Google saying there was a DNS error and in 2 other windows there were the same chinese website.
When I shut done the software all hell broke loose as I tried to work on my own sites as they to started being redirected to chinese sites, it took some time to fix this as virus scanners said there was no virus.
Look if you are thinking of using this type of software save yourself the money and get something that’s:
- cheaper and
- has the functionality that these types of software should have.
If you’re on a shoe string you might want to try something like sic submitter which is only $20 bucks a month, saving you $127/month.
If you’re able to pay a bit more then go for something more customizable like Magic Submitter which is $67/mth and you can add any sites you want with the designer, saving you $60.
I personally believe that either of these software solutions will help you more than SENukeX.

I feel the same way… All the hype about SENuke x was just that…All hype! I have been using Majic Submitter for 8 months now and it’s easily the best content syndication tool out there! I pay $67/month for it and love paying this, why?… Well that’s simple, because it does what it says on the tin! Plus, not only have I successfully taken sites to the top of Google, the support from Alex (the developer) is second to none as he chats to me via Skype whenever I call. You can’t get better one to one support than that – no need for ticket support here
just skype him and he’ll respond! Anyway, let’s not stray away from the heart of the matter here, SENuke x is flawed and is way to hard to use and has a lack of functionality still.
I agree whole heartedly Leo, Thanks for the comment

Hey Dave, totally agree with you. Asking $147 USD a month for something like that just doesn’t make sense to me. I’ve used Senuke in the past, when it became available to the public and used it for a while, and then quit, because it was buggy, and I had to baby sit it all the time etc… at the end of the day, I could and can do better with other tools and some additional manual work, either done by myself or my outsourcers.
For a tool that costs that much, I’d definitely expect more automation and less baby sitting and manual work, so thumbs down for SenukeX, I’ll stay away and will do just fine, thanks.
Yes for the price it is over rated, to many bugs for my liking to be a full release, should have kept it in beta and got the core functionality that these tools should have nailed down before release.
Hi Dave,
Thanks for your post and video explaining SENukeX. You did a better job explaining it than their own sales pages!
I had received several internet marketers promotions for SENUkeX, and when I followed their links to the sales page, I didn’t find clear information to tell me specifically what the software did or justify how it would provide a ROI on the high monthly fee.
After watching the video you have demonstrated how it works and its weaknesses in front of my eyes.
Cheers,
Annette
Hi Annette, Thanks for the comment, Yes I agree the sales page is a bit lacking lol.
I signed up to get the trial and before I was directed to PayPal, across the bottom of the screen splashed: 13% HST Added for Canadian Customers. Being from calgary, alberta, Canada, I thought WTF? We only pay 5% GST here, why so much?
I opened a support ticket weeks ago asking for their GST number and physical address and informed them that they are only required to charge 5% GST across canada and are required to collect all taxes from residents of their own province, only. I have not had a reply and don’t expect one.
Also doing some digging of Whois, I found out that SEnuke is operated by IATC Enterprises at 435 Main St Tobique New Brunswick, Canada. However, if you look up the location in Google maps, you get a barn. Seriously… a barn.
Next I did a search of NUANS at nuans.com which has a realtime system of the Government of Canada to check for all corporate and tradename registrations in Canada. IATC Enterprises did not exist so I searched just IATC and a registration came up for IATC MARKETING AND CONSULTING registered in Nov, 2009. There has been no IATC in any name or province prior and a product registration for senuke was registered in 2008 under JOEY BRIAN RUSSELL in New Brunswick. Neither incorporated or partnership.
Anyway, all the companies I found for this guy are using the same email address: iatc@nbet.nb.ca
So…Next I traced the email back to http://whois.domaintools.com/iatcmarketing.com. Check out the whois and the address is different, here it’s: 235 Main St Tobique, New Brunswick, which is a First Nations, Indian reservation.
So red flags have gone up all over the place for this. They are operating SeNukeX as IATC Enterprises and collecting 13% tax from canadians when their business isn’t even registered with the province. Plus, two different addresses on the same street and one is a barn?
I think with SeNuke they saw a profit and rammed out SeNukeX before it was ready to make a huge fast buck and they are going to make as much as they can then disapear and go onto the next thing. After all 6 months at 1000 members at $150 a month is $900,000. For that kind of money, your address isn’t going to be a barn and you sure as hell want to be Incorporated in teh event of lawsuits or class action for whatever reason.
I’m telling you, shady business going on here and I won’t use them to be labeled as a spammer if in a few months Google figures out the patterns and starts blacklisting.
So there is a little research about the SeNukex ‘team’ and all because they tried to get tax from me they were not legally entitled to.

Thankyou for your awesome find on this lol.
A barn I laughed so hard I nearly choked on my coffee lol. I don’t know why but images of an evil super villian and his henchmen all huddled round a NASA style computer setup planning to take over the world popped into my head. Have to admit Areeb looks kinda like a super villian in the video on the salespage lol.

PS what a great idea for a Google bomb lol. Areeb Bajwa evil super villian out to take over the world lol
@all:
how could you tell that senukex is useless? i have used the older version and helped me a lot, especially when senukex was launched, the payment compensated when my website boosted its pr for only a couple of days.
cheers!
I tried SENuke and SENukeX and IMHO you should check out Magic Submitter its much more powerfull, lol. The thing with PR is it updates every 3 -4 months so the PR jump you saw would have been from your previous efforts while not using SENuke.
Also when you try to leave a hyperlink to SENukeX you might want to make sure it’s correct before posting it http://www/senuke.com/x/ is not really going to work it’s close lol but not right.
Got to get those links right or Areeb might dock your wages lol.

Oh… that’s funny because if it was an affiliate posting, they would have used the affiliate ID. Hmm could the posters IP address be New Brusnwick by chance?? “snicker”….
I agree that SEnuke X does have its problems, but I think it is still a pretty good program. Nothing else has the level of automation that it has. Right now I have 18 campaigns scheduled to run for the next 2 months. Took me a few hours to setup those up initially, and now it is all hands off.
I disagree with your recommendation of Magic Submitter as an alternative. I’ve been sorely disappointed with that piece of software. Cancelled my subscription last year.
Being able to incorporate your own sites is a great feature, however, it is also the downfall of that program in my opinion. There are rarely any updates, and when sites stopped working, the answer I got from support or in the forum was to “just fix them myself”. That’s BS. If I’m paying $67/month, YOU fix them!
I think the best alternative is actually to use SEnuke X with Article Marketing Robot. Don’t run the article module in SEnuke X. Use AMR for all your article marketing. You can extract the URLs from there and boost them with something like Linklicious or SEnuke if you want. If you are looking for something cheaper than SEnuke X, than SEO Link Robot is a pretty good piece of software.

Hi Mike, thanks for the comment
I did try article marketing robot but didnt get on well with it, I think if you use MS logically then it’s all plain sailing, but it does take some getting used to at the beginning.
I think if you make a point of adding new sites every day then you’re golden and it becomes way more powerful than anything else on the market and it’s all under one roof so to speak
