    After all these years, I'm surprised Shawn has let this go to its grave so tragically.

    It's not working now. It wasn't working last night. It hasn't been working for at least a week now. Except for backlinks.

    I would like to know what has happened to the money we have donated here:
    http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/donate.html

    and if I donate some more today, what do I get for it? A tool that doesn't work?

    Can someone based in the USA not call them and find out what is going on?
    These are the telephone numbers (apparantly).

    it's NOT working here
    and we all may have to live without or at least start thinking to live without the tracker - may be without DP at all
    Shawns last post was on
    Sep 3rd 2008 4:23 am


    hence DP apparently w/o control and maintenance

    millions of people disappear each year and the planet keeps going round

    we have enjoy DP for a long while
    many have benefited for a long while
    now may be time to move on in life

    That page should answer all your questions. Shawn spent the cash on the hardware that this forum runs on!

    My main concerns with buying a tool are...

    1. I find Windows software increasingly has hidden nasty surprises and am reluctant to buy from outfits I don't know, ESPECIALLY in the SEO field where slime is so pervasive.

    2. I don't necessarily trust developers to sacrifice features or coding time in return for less impact on Google which reduces our own risk (since it's presumably our API keys that are still being used.)

    I'm not saying Rank Tracker falls into either category - just wish there was something else. I've seen the standard "satisfied users, fun features" page too often and don't want to run a virtual Windows for one program... I appreciated Shawn's explanations and hard work put into making sure this tool worked for everyone, and the relative freedom from risk given the donation based structure.

    Won't do you any good to call. Those numbers are for his software that people paid for and they don't even get return calls, so what do you think your chances are to get a return call on a free tool?

    Seems like some people are just not getting it. If Shawn does anything be thankful, if not don't be surprised. Don't be shocked when DP is gone all together either he may just let it all go. Or maybe if he loses his case with ebay he will have the need to start programing again??

    Looks dead to me...I was someone who donated so it auto check every day and it hasn't updated (it's been "stuck") since early October.

    Oh well, was nice while it lasted.

    It isn't working for me, either. It has worked one time in the last 2 weeks.

    Have you? I didn't even know that he had a blog. Has he posted to it recently?

    For all anyone seems to know, he could be sick, dead, on vacation, shacked up with a hot new girlfriend, contemplating his navel at some ashram or mourning his losses in the stock market. Does anyone actually KNOW anything?
