Have you used or do you use NameCheap's Site Booster Package?

I was just looking at NameCheap's Site Booster package that claims to submit your site to places like on Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, Foursquare, and Google, Bing, Yahoo search engines, review sites and mobile apps etc. They say that if you buy Site Booster through their Apps Marketplace you can easily manage and renew all your services from one location for just £3.41/mo.

More details are available on their Apps Marketplace page

https://www.namecheap.com/apps/marketplace/253/sitebooster

Has anyone used this? If you stop using it, do all your links remain? Or do they remove them all if you end your subscription? Can anyone confirm this to me?

They have an explainer video on that page as well.

But comments are disabled on that video! Why is that do you think!?

Is it because they're trying to hide something??

Some people say the issue is that once you cancel your subscription, all your links are removed from the places where they submitted them. Is that true?

Can anyone who's used it confirm this?

Thanks!

This service has some real transparency issues. For instance, with the image of the ratings showing on the page, it might give an impression to a novice webmaster that sitebooster actually gets you ratings - rather than it being a service to submit your info to directories. Also as you said, the comments are closed, and if so, then why? What comments were there before? Typically, a company will want to leave those comments open for the positive feedback of their customers. And, maybe there was none. Also, there are only two ratings or feedback on that service link you sent. Only two people used that service? Surely they would add more ratings than that, if there were more customers. You can see hundreds of ratings/reviews on Amazon products, so why not more than two on this one? A lot of questions about this specific service and I'd love to hear any new info you find out about it.

So I decided to do a bit more research into this and opened a live chat request with NameCheap staff.

I wanted to ask them what else they do for me each month and if they submit to any other places because you can only submit to one site once so what else would they be doing for me each month I'm paying for you know? I also wanted to know if all my links and the listings themselves would remain if I canceled the subscription and here are my questions and their answers to them FYI.

Here is my chat transcript log.

So he answered all my questions satisfactorily as far as I'm concerned. I mainly wanted to know if the listings (any my links in them) would remain if I canceled the subscription and according to Vlad A, apparently they do.

I might give this a go. I mean, I could do all this myself anyway or pay someone to do it. But for £3.40 it seems like quite a good deal. The only downside to canceling your subscription is that you wont have a panel where you can see any reviews you've got. But that's what email notifications are for in that you will get an email notification when you get a new review on Yelp for example anyway.

What do you think?
