Long time no love for seobayers so iam writing this tutorial for you guys:

One of the biggest mysteries about xrumer has been creating profiles and me myself being a noob , but a smart one:P, always try to find ways for creating thins easier. Recently i was doing a test and found a good way of generating profile links easily. Before we start i will post results:

Tools - Hrefer 3.3, Xrumer 7.5, Scrapebox, Adword tool for keyword, Keyword studio pro and a linklist merger

Linklist generated - 250k (unique domains)
Profiles generated - 60k (unique domains) - a lot in just 20 days.

Step 1
Generate keywords which people actually try to rank for. This is the most crucial step in profile building. I saw a huge list being shared on another forum which had over 300k words. I say what is the use for searching keywords like "aaaaa", "abra ka dabra" etc. Who will rank for these? So i used common sense and generated keywords which people actually use for ranking.

Usage -
1) Note down atleast 100 keywords from google search (not adwords) which are broad and have massive competition like credit card, insurance etc.

2) One-by-one load these keywords into keyword studio pro (i used crack version:P) and generate similar keywords. Note that these words are better than scrapebox wonderwheel scraper.

3) Load all these keywords into scrapebox and generate keywords upto 3 levels. De-dup them etc. and save them. Then in the end make a huge list of all the keywords generated from original 100 words.

Step 2
Load them into hrefer but before you begin do this:

1) Edit additive words and just use these:

"powered by smf"
"powered by vbulletin"
"powered by phpbb"
"powered by ip.board"

Etc. etc. etc. but only forum software names. I did this so i don"t know which are most useful.

2) Edit search engine filter and place this:

Member.php?action=
profile.php?viewprofile=

Etc. etc. basically all those filters which have view profile in their url.

The logic is to get maximum of those profiles which have been made for the purpose of visible backlinks. (Iam having trouble loggin into my dedi so will post the complete list later)

3) Start scraping and wait for it to complete.

Step 3 - Another very important step.

Usually you all just load the links in xrumer and blast away but no you should analyze the database also to remove dead ones. So click on tools -> database analysis

1) Type the same "powered by" stuff into the box on left hand side.

2) Choose your linklist and select search content and 50 threads and go. This will remove all 404 forums and blogs etc.

Now we run xrumer with this linklist.

1) Load the database and setup your project.

2) Goto advanced options -> select register only, goto speed<---> success and move all the way to success and select recaptcha with 40-50 atempts.

3) Start and let it complete.

While the posting is done i usually move to next keyword building step.

When all your profiles are created, load them into linklist merger and create a big file from it. Now remove dups and all and you have a good profile link package.

So the jist is - keywords which people search - only few additive words and filters - right settings etc.

You will notice that from your final linklist with medium success and recpatcha off and 20-25 atempts for captcha you will get approx 30k+ profiles. I get 60k with recaptcha and half-success

Happy profile creation....

Starting a New Topic

Browse to the board where you wish to post and click the New Topic button (positioned by default at both the top and the bottom of the board, as shown in the ), which should take you to the Start new topic screen. While this presents a number of options, the two most important are the Subject field and main Message field (not labeled as such, but obvious by its size). So enter your subject and start to type (or paste) your message into the main text area, noting that a message missing either a subject or a body will not be accepted for posting until it has both. If you"re happy with your plain text message, you can then post it by clicking the Post button and/or preview it first by clicking the Preview button, but there are many further available to make things that little bit more interesting.

  • Some forums show the navigation tree at the top in a space-saving horizontal mode.
  • Some forums may be configured to offer an additional Spell Check button alongside the Post and Preview options.

Starting a New Poll

A poll is basically a topic with an added question and voting options, started by clicking New Poll instead of New Topic . To post a poll it is necessary to fill out the Question field and at least two of the Option fields in addition to the Subject and Message fields required by a standard topic. Further options to configure how many choices the user may vote for, how long the poll should run, whether users can change their votes and what conditions must be fulfilled for the results to be displayed should be self-explanatory.

To offer more than five choices in a poll, simply click Add Option as many times as necessary.

Note that it may also be possible for some users in some forums to add a poll to an existing topic.

Posting an Event to the Calendar

Where this option has been configured (it"s not standard "out of the box"), you can post an event by selecting Calendar from the followed by Post Event from the calendar screen. What you see now is a Start new topic screen with supplementary fields for the event title, date and target board, which simply add your event to the calendar and create a link back to your post in that board.

Replying to a Topic or Poll

Replying to a topic or poll is basically the same as , but it"s not necessary to enter anything in the Subject field unless you wish to change what"s already there. To vote in a poll, you simply have to select your chosen option(s) and click Submit Vote .

If "Quick Reply" has been enabled, a simple reply field will also appear after the post(s) on a page, but you"ll have to type your and manually if you choose to use it.

Quoting a Post

To reply to a post by quoting it, you can either click the Quote button for the relevant post and add your own message to the quoted text or click the Reply button followed by Insert Quote from the relevant post in the "Topic Summary" below, but note that:

  • Both these options add a link to the original post showing the name of the poster and the date and time of the post, whereas the quote tag simply quotes the relevant post without this additional information.
  • You can also retain or add the "author" attribute independently of the full Quote function, as demonstrated in the below.

Modifying or Deleting a Post

To modify a post, click the Modify button and make your changes. Note that most forums are likely to be configured to show the date and time of the last edit, but the administrator(s) may also allow a short period to elapse before this happens.

To delete a post, click the Delete button followed by OK from the Remove this message? box that appears. Some forums may also allow you to remove topics or polls that you start, but the buttons for these are usually at the bottom of the page.

Standard Posting Options

Notify me of replies

Check this to subscribe to email notification for the topic.

Return to this topic

Check this to return to the topic (instead of the message index) after posting (NB you can also set this behavior as a preference in your profile).

Don"t use smileys

Check this to prevent certain in your post from being parsed and rendered as smileys.

Attachments

If enabled, this feature allows you to attach files to your posts in much the same way as most email clients, so you simply have to browse to the relevant file(s) on your computer before clicking Post . You can delete your attachment(s) or add more by , but please note that:

  • The permitted file types and sizes are set by the forum administrator(s).
  • Although most forums are likely be configured to display attached images as part of the post, it"s not possible to preview attachments so you should always browse to and attach your files just before you finally post your message.
