    Nice, .11 will have random "our picks" inbound links to mix things up a bit.

    888 pages on my main site now.....the downside (not really) is the mess Yahoo is making of my stats, it must have caught on three days ago...there have been 600 visitors to my site over the last three days searching for all types of stupid terms, obviously book related.

    Heres some examples, the books are supposed to be finance related...positive life quotations...who says elephants can t dance lessons learned...the way to wealth by benjamin franklin...badaracco leading quietly...tribal tattoo desings...elves tattoos...economics for dummies... the psychology of a rational decision.
    And another 600 similar, I can't believe people are typing in these terms...I just hope they are buying the books :D

    For some reason the books aren't populating the DB. FREEBS creates two tables in the DB, but no results populate.

    Got it. For some reason it was timing out trying to import all the books at once. So now I'm manually doing 100 books at a time and incrementing the start page by 10 each time.

    Cool, glad that worked out. The issue is documented and the p3.php written with the overrides specifically for that reason.

    Cheers

    It was fairly cumbersome. I tried to even just start it at page one and go to 2500 results and that didn't work. I tried even starting from page 1 and doing 200 results but the script timed out.

    How are others populating the DB?

    You must have some strict server settings, that's how those with timeout issues did it, 100 results at a time IIRC.

    hehe, aren't you the person that never uses IM programs?

    I mean MSN and Yahoo or such.

    I need to coordinate about and hour or two with someone that needs the other country code or codes.

    I'm on EST -5 GMT and usually work from about 9pm till 2 am.

    Let's see, that's 11PM, my time?

    I think it's about 6PM there now? I'm about to go eat, but this block from now for 4 hours is a working period for me too.

    I hate to get up early, hate to have you do it. :)

    Noppid, my buddy, when we going to get that random book addon. I was thinking along with a random book page and random "page" part so we can just point all our links there and get some major spidering done.
