Gleb, this post is nearly 10 month old … sorry.

I agree with you but at the time it seemed like a cool idea, although not very well implemented I must admit.

Hi Alex, I agree about great efficiency of OnlyWire service, but would argue about the OnlyWire plugin.
It has “reward the author button” which gives me consistent error “sorry it didn’t work”. So I presumed that if author couldn’t write the code to reward himself - then this thing has something to fix.
OnlyWire is essential to my business, so I’d rather do it manually now at least till the plugin will work flawlessly.

Thanks for great articles! I stumbled one, and already installed few plugins that you recommended.

Matt,

After this post I actually had to disable OnlyWire as it turned out it was failing to submit my posts properly. I do it manually now.

I use both of those as well - they are great plugins.

As for onlywire - i have been using htem for almost one year - and i’m totally satisfied.. no complaints from me…

Thanks for HUP, fmjrey!

You are correct I have found same issue with OnlyWire and had to remove it - idea behind it was good, but executed poorly.

In addition to this I’ve just discovered in their terms of service that they ask for permission to add sponsored links to your bookmarks using your login.
You agree to let OnlyWire bookmark the http://www.onlywire.com site AND the OnlyWire Sponsor site on each of the bookmarking services you are participating with. OnlyWire will only bookmark the Sponsor site link one time.

Even more reasons to stay away from them!!!

My advice is to stay away from onlywire. I’ve been using it for a year, and this is the second times it fails silently on me with Simpy, leaving me to manually adjust the missing links (very tedious) I’ve created for more than 3 weeks.
Emailed them, no answer and no fix after a week.

Silent failure + silent support = stay away from them!!!

I have created another Only Wire plug-in. It can be found at Only Wire Plugin.

It is very simple to install. I have to heard of any technical difficulties with it.

Roland,

Thanks for comment. I use a rather standard font and making it bigger will not make information better

Thanks for the tool, I don’t use AdSense of text ads for the most part … I prefer affiliate marketing and or ads that actually pay me a bit more but am sure someone might appreciate your tool. Thanks for sharing.
