keyboard to obtain the following manual. Although I'mnot a millionaire yet, it's like Botmaster says “No one i sgo ing to teach you to become a mi l l i ona i re overn i gh t .”The contents of this manual are designed with theprofessional marketer in mind. Newbies may still havetrouble adapting to the terminology and technicalaspects of certain portions of this manual. This is whywe created the forums at http://xrchat.info/f/As a valued premium content subscriber you will haveaccess to the premium section where our personaldiscoveries are posted on a daily basis.We are Xrumer researchers and we are working for you!Thank you once again for purchasing XrumerUnleashed, now let's make some money!copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer Unleashed

Chapter 2 SEO MethodsSearch Engine Optimization 101If you are already familiar with SEO just skip this part. It's not long,but it might be useless if you already know it. That being said, thisisn't meant to be a complete course on search engine optimization. It'sjust meant to bring us all up to speed on the basics of search enginemarketing.Building backlinks is the name of the game, and you probably boughtXrumer because you want more backlinks to your site. The more linksare pointing to your site, the more important your site will be toGoogle.PageRank is how Google decides the importance of

Page 3: 183433 xunleashed

your page.Generally speaking the higher the PageRank, the better it is to have alink on that site!Anchor text is the clickable text found on web pages. It points to a webaddress (URL) using words that describe the content. For example ifyou had a site about bananas, you would want to link to your web pageusing the word “bananas” as the anchor text.Just as important as anchor text is the text surrounding the anchor,before and after. Observe the following 3 links:copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer Unleashed<a href=”http://buy-bananas-online.com”>Buy Bananas</a><a href=”http://buy-bananas-online.com”>Buy Bananas</a> NowBuy Fruits, <a href=”http://buy-bananas-online.com”>BuyBananas</a> and VegetablesThe first example has no text surrounding the anchor. The secondexample has the word “Now” after the anchor. The word “Now” is notsemantically relevant to the word bananas. The third example hassemantically relevant terms before and after the anchor. This is idealand this is what we teach.Text rotation, Anchor texts and SemanticsIf your keyword is “buy bananas”, your subject line might besomething like Buy Bananas Online or something like that. We use thevariation system to make the text different for

Page 4: 183433 xunleashed

each post. The point ofdoing this is that when Google analyzes your backlinks, they won'tappear to be all the same.Translation: If Google sees all your backlinks and all your subjectslines are exactly the same, you won't get as much value becauseGoogle will think “The same person is posting these links”. On theother hand, if the links are different and the subject is different,Google will award you high value to your backlinks.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedLet's do a basic example using the variation system:{Buy|Purchase|Obtain} Bananas {Online|Today|For Cheap}{} indicates to Xrumer to choose one of the terms between { and }randomly, using | as a separator. If you use the above example inXrumer's message window and hit Test, the result might be:Obtain Bananas For CheaporPurchase Bananas Onlineor any other permutation.Xrumer gives you the mathematical value of how much text ispossible. The more varations you use, the greater this number – whichis a good thing!In this case, you can see the basics of the variation system. Now weneed to apply this to our links. The technique I use is simple. Take

Page 5: 183433 xunleashed

your 3 top keywords, put them in an anchor.This could mean formatting to Bbcode if you are posting to forums, sohere it is in Bbcode:[url=http://www.domain.com]{Bananas|Cheap Bananas|RipeBananas}[/url]copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedAlternatively, you can use a links file like this:[url=http://www.domain.com] #file_links[file.txt,1,S] [/url]The command #file_links[file.txt,1,S] tells Xrumer to choose one linefrom the file “file.txt” . This is especially useful later on when we dealwith creating replies that sound legit!You can also use variations with the nickname field.Advanced variations using identifiers:[url=http://www.domain.com]{#1Bananas|Cheap Bananas|RipeBananas}[/url]Using this as your anchor, you can now put the same string in thesubject line: {#1Bananas|Cheap Bananas|Ripe Bananas}Why not use is as your nickname, email address as well? What thisaccomplishes is simple. Xrumer will randomly pick either Bananas,Cheap Bananas or Ripe Bananas. Whichever it picks it will stick witheverywhere you use {#1Bananas|Cheap Bananas|Ripe Bananas}. Thisallows a great deal of flexibility when creating anchor text variationand thematic replies!

Page 6: 183433 xunleashed

In this last example you'll see how to combine variations with youranchors and your surrounding text:copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer Unleashed{Fruit|Exotic Fruits|Tropical Fruits}, [url=http://www.buy-bananasonline]{Buy Bananas|Buy Bananas Online|Buy Ripe Bananas} and{Mangos|Plums|Pears|Peaches}The final result is constantly different, which ensures Google and othersearch engines will eat it up and ask for seconds!In this tutorial I will show you how to build profile only links. This isa very basic tutorial for all the noobies out there so please dont flamethe post.Profile Creation From A-ZProfile posting is a very effective use of Xrumer. The benefit of profileonly posting is that your links tend to stay up longer, as well yourspeed of posting is a lot faster over forum posting.In this tutorial I will be using the default LinkList (LinksList id1.txt)for demonstration purposes only. I never use the default list as they areheavy spammed and in my option do not add any value in terms oflong term success of your link building campaigns. Always harvestyour own link list!copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedOk, lets get startedOpen up Xrumer, and then click on Project --> New

Page 7: 183433 xunleashed

Now let’s start filling out our project settings.When doing profile only blasts it's important to make each profileunique. If your posts (profiles) are not unique that it opens a massivefootprint that Google can see and in my experience treat your linkswith much less weight.Nick: Xrumer#random[a..z] - this will create usernames such asXrumera, Xrumerb, Xrumerc, etc. You can also use the {|} method forusernames as well such as {XrumerMike|XrumerTed|XrumerSteve}.You can combine the two like this:{xrumer#random[a..z]|mikea#random[a..z]}copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedThere are a million other way to slice and dice this, but this will get usstarted.Pass: Put whatever password you like here. Just keep in mind that

Page 8: 183433 xunleashed

some forums require you to meet certain complexity standards. Sousually I make a password like: password1Real Name: This will auto generate when entering your nick and forthe most part can be left alone.Homepage: This is where you will enter your links. This will show upin the profile as just links with no anchor. You can enter just one linkhere or rotate them like {http://homepage.com|http://homepage.com/deeplink.html|http://homepage2.com} or you canstore your links in a .txt file (one per line) and call it like this;#file_links[C:\LinksList.txt,1,L]ICQ: I normally use a random 9 digit number starting with 5 you cando that like this;5#random[0..9]#random[0..9]#random[0..9]#random[0..9]#random[0..9]#random[0..9]#random[0..9]#random[0..9]which would give you a number like this; 543631115copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedCity: Here I just pull a random city from a .txt file. Just like links youcan add a city (one per line) in a .txt file and call it like this;#file_links[C:\ListOfUSCities.txt,1,L]Country: I normally just use;{USA|US|United States|Canada|CA}*** Please note that the city and state willautomatically try and pull from x_fields.txt***Area Of Work & HobbiesI point a lot of fields in the Xrumer AI (self learning) to use these

Page 9: 183433 xunleashed

fields. You may notice a lot of forums have addition (custom profilefields) where you can enter your own text in. I love these fields as itgives me an opportunity to stuff relevant keywords into the profilesXrumer is creating.Normally I split these up. Let's say im promoting the xrchat.info site. Iwould create two text files; one with my primary keywords, and theother with secondary keywords.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedList 1 might look like this;xrumerxrumer forumsxrumer tutorialsList 2 might look like;backlinkslink buildingSEOI usually use the Google keyword tool to generate these lists. Once youhave your lists you can use the {|} to enter them into these fields oryou can call from a .txt file like this:#file_links[C:\primarykeyword.txt,1,L]Signature: This is where you can put your anchor text.If you are promoting only one url you can enter something likethis;[url=http://xrchat.info]{xrumer|xrumer forums|xrumer tutorials}[/url]the above will rotate the following; xrumer, xrumer forums, xrumertutorialsIf you wanted to add some of your primary keywords

Page 10: 183433 xunleashed

before youranchor link you could do someting like this;copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer Unleashed#file_links[C:\primarykeyword.txt,1,L][url=http://xrchat.info]{xrumer|xrumer forums|xrumer tutorials}[/url]Email SettingsThere are pretty self explanatory. Just fill in the basic info. There aresome other tutorials around the fourms that explain the mail settings inmore detail.The rest of the fields you can fill in with whatever you like (xrumerwill not allow them to be empty) as they will serve no relevance toyour profile postYour settings should look something like this;

The High PR Parasite Doorway MethodSimply put, this is a method where you steal another site's page rankby creating a page on their domain and then having many pages link toit via Xrumer. For example, let's say you create a page on a high PRdomain such as http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/ (Create ablog).Parasite pages are nothing new. If you’re not familiar with the concept,a parasite host refers to a keyword targeted page on a strong, legitdomain. Parasite hosting takes advantage of Google’s favoritismtowards olderdomains.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedOn the high PR page, that's where you put your advertisements. Thispage will rank quickly on the search engines as it is sitting on a highPR host.Then, using Xrumer we will deliver 1000's of backlinks to this parasitepage. The result is that this page will achieve a high rank very quickly.For beginners, here are the steps you need to take:copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedStep 1: Open Xrumer, fill out email and nickname fields. Here's a hintif you want to have a keyword in the username: keyword#random[a..z]. The result will be nicknames like keywordhd, keywordje,

Page 14: 183433 xunleashed

keywordhg, etc.Step 2: Put keywords in the subject. Use variations! Also, make sureyou use variations for the words that surround the anchor text.Examples of high PR hosts:Wordpress, Squidoo, BloggerIf you're familiar with SENuke, great. Take your high PR links fromSENuke and put them into Xrumer and watch your SERPS explode!SENuke is a great tool to create hundreds of hig PR parasite pages.The Linkwheel MethodThe linkwheel method is the same as the high PR parasite method,with one important difference. The goal of the linkwheel is have thePR leak to the whitehat page, resulting in organic ranking for thewhitehat page.Example: My whitehat site is http://buy-bananas-online.comI create 3 blogs on high PR domains. Each blog links to http://buybananas-online.com using the words “Buy Bananas” as the anchortext.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedSo now we have 3 blogs:http://bananablog1.blogspot.com,http://bananablog2.blogspot.comhttp://bananablog3.blogspot.comEach blog looks like this: “Hi everyone, this is my blog about bananas.If you want to <a href=”http://buy-bananas-online.com">Buy

Page 15: 183433 xunleashed

Bananas</a> this is the right place!”Save the list of high PR parasite URLs to a text file and call itprlinks.txt , put this file in your Xrumer directory.Create a new Xrumer project. For the homepage field put this:#file_links[prlinks.txt,1,N]For the signature, put this:[url=#file_links[prlinks.txt,1,N]]Keyword[/url]Again, it's best to use variations and not just one keyword. If you areusing variations your signature will look more like this:[url=#file_links[prlinks.txt,1,N]]{Keyword|Keyword2|Keyword3}[/url]copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedNow, in the body post put this:[url=#file_links[prlinks.txt,1,N]]Keyword1[/url][url=#file_links[prlinks.txt,1,N]]Keyword2[/url][url=#file_links[prlinks.txt,1,N]]Keyword3[/url]It should look like this:(Don't forget to use vartiations!)I put it 3 times because I want 3 links to be displayed from the fileprlist.txt . If you look at the viagra spam you see on the forums, theywill put 20-30 links. It is recommended to put between 10 and 25 linksand to include lots of semantically relevant text before and after alink.Russian Pre-Registration Domain BombinBlog Comment PromotionWith blog comment promotion it's really important to choose goodkeywords as your username. The reason is because

Page 16: 183433 xunleashed

many blog engineswill use the username as the anchor text. You can use the variationmethod for the username like this:copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer Unleashed{keyword1|keyword2|keyword3}Or, alternatively here are a few methods that all do the same thing butin different ways. Exploring these possibilities will increase your graspof Xrumer's capabilities:Try these in the username field when posting to blogs:#file_links[keywords.txt,1,N]This will choose one random line from the file keywords.txtkeyword#random[a..z]This will create a username using keyword and append a letter from ato zkeyword#random[0..9]This will create a username using keyword and append a number from0 to 9keyword#random[a..z,0..9]The same as above, with “,” acting as OR operator. That means it willappend either a letter OR a number.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedRemember, you can use spaces in your username when posting toblogs:Using generic messages as your commentsIt's very important to use good messages as your comments. Botmasterhas included such a file for your pleasure, it can

Page 17: 183433 xunleashed

be used by calling itlike this:#file_links[Antispam/Neutral/en.default.txt, 1,S]You'll notice the English language has been brutally slaughtered in thisfile, so use it if you're too lazy... If you're ambitious check out thechapter on “Artificial Intelligence”.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedYou should get the idea, it's not very hard to come up with genericcomments that will seem real so they get approved by the blogmoderators. People are vain, so appeal to their vanity bycomplimenting their site / blog. Even with a username like CheapViagra, you may still get comments approved if the comment makessense.Another good tip is to use the #hostname macro.Example Comment:Sweet site, I hadn't noticed #hostname before in my searches!Keep up the great work!Xrumer will replace #hostname with the name of the website!The ElinksList MethodThis method of building backlinks is highly effective in term of gettingyour links to stick. With this method you make a forum post, and aftertime go back and edit it with your link at a later time. This method isnot a good way to get traffic, but an excellent way to get backlinks.The reason this is effective as forum admins will

Page 18: 183433 xunleashed

generally check thenewest posts. So if your original post was something like;“Hey I’m new here. Forum looks great. “copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedThen your message, in most cases will not be deleted. As time moveson your message gets moved down lower and lower in the forumqueue.The setup for the elink method posting is very similar the first part ofthe Q&A posting method. The goal is to make you user and messageappear to be just a normal every day user. To make sure your postsstick I recommend changing your priority categoriescopyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer Forums Please note I chose theoption to post ONLY if the categories in my list exist on the forum.This will lower your success rate on your first run as Xrumer will donothing if those categories don’t exist.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedNow I uncheck the option to check for active links afterposting. This will speed up your first run as Xrumer will not have togo back to check if a link was placed as there is no link to check. I alsouncheck the editing profile after registration as well as the loading ofavatar. Unchecking these options will greatly

Page 19: 183433 xunleashed

improve the speed ofyour first posting run.I also check the Make log of categories list so I can do research lateron and seek out other forum categories / topics they may look good forposting.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedNow choose your link list and start posting. Once finished check yoursuccess links:In this case I have 194,350 success posts. Now when I go through toedit these posts my success rate will be a lot lower then this numberfor the simple reason that some forums don’t allow you to edit posts,or have a time limit set in place for the time your post is available foredit, and some posts may just be removed. Xrumer is a numbers gameplain and simple.When composing your edit message you can completely post a newmessage, or just go back and add a link. I usually keep the original andjust add a line.So if my original message was;“Hey I’m new here. Forum looks great. “I would make my new message like this;“Hey I’m new here. Forum looks great. I found a great way to get themost out of [url=http//xrumerunleashed.com]Xrumer [/url]“copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedOr if you want to be sneaky you can use the link

Page 20: 183433 xunleashed

disguise the links likenormal text (no underline, different color for links) by posting mymessage like this;““[color=color_url]Hey I’m new here. Forum looks great. I found agreat way to get the most out of [/color][url=http//xrumerunleashed.com]Xrumer [/url]“This will only work on about 10% - 15% of the forums you are postingto. Your links will still be active if the link disguise fails.Now let’s set the advanced options:copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedNotice this time we will be posting on behalf of a previously registereduser. As we already registered on our first run. Also I have selected the“Enable checking for active links after posting” this time so we get arecord of which forums worked for us.Now once you have your edited message. Make sure you selected thesame link list and selected the elinks database.Now start posting!copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer Unleashed

Chapter 3 Direct PromotionIf you want to promote your website directly using Xrumer, it isrecommended to get abuse proof hosting. Most webhosts will shut youdown if someone merely complains that you posted a commercialadvertisement on their public forum.First, you will want to enable Aggressive Posting

Page 21: 183433 xunleashed

Mode, located inadvanced options. This will create several topics on the forums insteadof just one. It will take the moderators longer to delete them thusincreasing the exposure of your ads.It is recommended to post only to forums for directmarketing, so a new hrefer filter is needed. Look up theforums only filter in the Artificial Intelligence chapter.This filter will eliminate 99% of the junk and leave only forums. Atypical scenario where direct marketing can be used is for thepromotion of a dating website:[url=http://affiliate/affiliate-link.php][img]http://affiliate/banner.jpg[/img][/url]Using banner advertisements usually draws more complains than textadvertisements. A mix of both is suggested, where a text review forthe product is posted along with a banner. Experiment to see whatworks best in your niche.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedQuestion and Answer Mode:A popular way of promoting projects is to use the q&a mode. Theresult is that you can have a “conversation” between 2 forum users.The Q&A method is one of the methods I use the most. This methodcan be used not only for direct marketing, but also for SEO purposes.The first user can ask: “I'm not sure if #category is the right place topost this, but I'm wondering if anyone has tried

Page 22: 183433 xunleashed

Hostgator.com fortheir web hosting?”Then, the second user answers: “Yes, I use Hostgator for all myprojects. Don't be afraid to sign up today, the prices are really goodtoo!”In order to effectively use the q&a mode, first you will need to setupyour project for user A. User A will ask the question, promptingresponses from other users.Open up Xrumer, and then click on Project --> Newcopyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedYour first run is going to be posting a question. So as we fill out theprofile settings try and make it as “average user “ as possible. Includeno link to home page, or link in your signature. I skip over a lot of thepersonal details here as we covered them in the last profile tutorial.Since our link will not be in the profile of the question poster, therotating of fields for unique content is not as important.Here is what my question post will look like:Now the post part is the most important. In order to get you post tostick you need to make it sound spammy. Unlike the profile, you wantto make the question unique so spinning you post as much as possibleis a must. Here is an example:copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer Unleashed{Hi|Hey|Hello} {I’m|I am} new here. {I am|I’m}

Page 23: 183433 xunleashed

sorry if #categoryis {not the right|the wrong} place for {this|this post} but I was hopingsome one here on #hostname would be able to {help|assist} me access{facebook|myspace|youtube|bebo|gmail|ebay|amazon} from {school|work} as it {it is|it’s|it is currently} {block|restricted|firewalled}. Any{help|assistance} would be {greatly appreciated|great|wounderful}The out put would look something like this:If you don’t know already, #hostname will add the name of theforum/site you are posting to. #category will be the name of thecategory that your post was placed in. Ok now let’s set the advancedoptions and get ready for our question posting.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedHere is what mine looks like:I have selected “Mandatory registration with posting” as the postingmethod. I also have found better success in question posts staying uplonger that have avatars upload so I chose to “edit profile afterregistration” so I can “load avatar at profile editing”I also chose to “make log of categories” as I am always looking forways to refine my postings.Now save, select your link list and start postingcopyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedNow once you finish. We can start prepping our reply posting. The

Page 24: 183433 xunleashed

profile and awnser post can be setup much the same way. Here iswhat my reply posting profile will look like:For the reply I will use something like this:I {saw|came across|noticed} your {post|posting|thread|question}.My {school|work|job|company|high school} {blocked|restricted}access to {myspace |facebook}.After about #random[1..9] hours of {searching|looking} I found[url=http://myproxysite.com]{myproxy|facebook proxy|myspaceproxy}[/url]copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedWhich would result in something like this:This was just a basic example for you to get the idea. Now check youradvanced options to make sure they still look like this:copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedNow comes the part you all were wating for. Select the Rlinks db forlink list posting you made orgionaly when asking the question:So if the link list you posted orgionally was LinksList id995.txt yourreplay post would be RLinksList id995.txt - And that’s it for the Q&Aposting method. A few things that can help your success is goingthrough a first run with register only. Then run though the success listwith “post on behalf of previously registered user”.It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours between

Page 25: 183433 xunleashed

posts to avoidsuspicion.Advanced repliesNow, you can bump the thread by posting as user A once again. To dothis, simply switch the project back to the first project. Edit themessage, but don't change the email or username – make sure thosestay the same! Now, go into Options, Advanced Options and select“Posting on behalf of a previously registered user”. Make sure you arestill in RlinksList mode on the Links database tab, then hit Start!You can go back and forth between users, and you can go as far as youlike with this. For example, one thing that's fun to do is to createintroduction posts for your bots first before promoting anything.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedFirst, edit the priority categories in the project settings and put only thefollowing:Introduce Yourselfintroduce yourselfintroductionIntroductionnew memberNew Membercopyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedTick the box that says “Post only if these categories exist otherwiseskip”Now, run your list as user A but simply post an

Page 26: 183433 xunleashed

introduction like “Heyguys, nice to be here! I love #hostname!”On the second run, you can come back as user B and post in theintroduction thread “Welcome to the forums!” Using this method youcan create the illusion of real users carrying on conversations.Important Note : Make sure you create a new copy ofyour linkslist for each conversation thread you want tocreate, otherwise the wrong replies will be posted andXrumer's RlinksLists will get mixed up.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedPM Promotion Kung FuBotmaster’s latest release of Xrumer has a lot of enhancements inregards to PM promotion, however it is far from perfect. Many forumshave strange rules when it comes to PMs. Some forums don't allowyou to send a PM unless you have a certain number of posts, or untilyou’ve been a member for so long, and some admins just have itdisabled completely. Your success rate will be a lower then it is withposting, so please don't be discouraged. First, you need to harvest a listof forums that Xrumer specifically works with for this method. To doso, check the chapter on Artificial Intelligence.Mass PM SetupOpen Xrumer and click: Tools -> Delete all links according toblacklist (you did remember to update your xblack.txt right?)

Thisway I fill in something like this:copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer Unleashed#file_links[C:\cities.txt,1,L] and the cities.txt would be a listing ofcities, one per line.Now for the topic I recommend something like;(Per your post | hey #uname | etc}The #uname macro will fill in the name of the person you are sendingto….however this only works about half the time.For the body of your message (and as well as with the topic) Iwouldn’t worry to much about macros as your not worries about yourposts being duplicate. However some forums have protection that willlook for message similarity so usually just adding

something like“#gennick[sjdhrd,6,15]” this at the end will allow you to bypass that.Save your project.Mass PM PostingThe mass PM posting process works in two stages; registering andposting. First, follow the steps outlined in the chapter “ProfileCreation From A-Z”. You can also browse the Xrchat.info forumsfor a while.Now we’re ready to send some Pms. First change the posting from toMass-PMcopyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedNow to to Options -> Advanced Optionsand set the following:Click Start and your promotion!copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedOne thing I forgot to mention is after your first run of registering only,it’s a good idea to send pm to only the forums in your PROFILES listas Xrumer will not try to post to forums you were unable to registerwith. Also with PM promotion its a little harder to track results, but ifyou use JhonnyXXX’s tracker script you’ll get a good idea of howmany people, and from what forums people are viewing your PMs.If you need to modify the PM posting, member list gathering to fitcustomized forum setups take a look in the masspm.ini …. and check

Page 36: 183433 xunleashed

cleanest, most honest wayto earn a living online, but is it entirely evil? NO! There's a way to usecookie stuffing as a marketing tool without the need to stealcommissions. Cookie stuffing is a double edged sword and I willexplain how it can both help and hurt merchants, depending on thecase.Percentage based stuffingThis is what you've heard about as wrong, immoral, whatever. I'm nothere to pass judgment, I'm just here to explain how things work!Percentage based stuffing is exactly what it sounds like. You knowthat X percent of computer users shop on ebay, so you stuff ebayauctions. The same goes for amazon, or any other major online retaileryou can think of. If you know the demographics of a forum very welland you know where everyone on that forum shops online, you cangrab all those commissions very, very easily. It's not as easy as itsounds but I will show you step how it's done. Remember, thistechnology can be used for good or evil. Don't be a dick and stuffamazon, ebay and auctions. You'll just get banned! Use the stealthmarketing method instead.Stealth Marketing MethodWhen you promote products on forums, administrators are always

copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer Unleashedweary of affiliate links. If something looks like a promotion oradvertisement, it will simply be deleted.With the stealth marketing method you don't need to place any affiliatelinks, you don't need the user to click on anything at all! Let me put itin perspective with an example post for my banana company:User A: Has anyone used hostgator? Is it decent?( 24 hours later, the mods have looked at this post and they havedecided to let it stay. It doesn't look like a promotion. Along comesUser B with a helpful reply:)User B: Hi User A, I noticed you haven't decided on a host yet. Don'tworry, I had the same challenge a few months back. Hostgator iswicked, I haven't had a single problem![img] COOKIE STUFF FOR HOSTGATOR AFFILIATEPROGRAM[/img](Notice that hostgator is NOT a hyperlink, it's simply typed. Mods willlook at this and they might think twice before deleting it. There are nolinks at all!)The end result is that you will get credit for the sale of anyone whoviews this post. All they have to do is go online, search for hostgatorand signup – you'll get the commission!copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedA few things to keep in mind about cookie stuffing with Xrumer:

Page 38: 183433 xunleashed

• Pick smaller affiliate programs. Large affiliate companies likeeBay, Amazon, and Commission junction have huge resources at theirdisposal, and spend a lot of time and effort to ensure people do notcookie stuff. There is nothing worse then seeing 5K disappear fromyour account.• Start slow, and build. This can be controlled via some cookiescripts, or via the number of posts you make with XrumerSpecial Cookie Stuffing Note:Hostgator uses a tracking system where the 1st click wins. That meansif they click on your link (or you stuff your link cookie), even if theyclick on someone else's affiliate link the first cookie will remain.Many companies use last click wins. In this case you might want toput a link to the domain you're promoting (not an affiliate link). In theexample above, if Hostgator was using last click wins, we couldsimply add a link to one of hostgator's hosting packages like this:User B: Hi User A, I noticed you haven't decided on a host yet. Don'tworry, I had the same challenge a few months back. Hostgator iswicked, I haven't had a single problem!

everything is setright. Here is what my advance options look like:copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedNow lets start sorting by PR. Click on Tools --> Sort Current List byPRcopyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedYou have two methods of sorting, by host name or entire link. Inormally select host name especially if I using sorting the PR of asuccess or profile list for use in a link wheel. As for the thread count Iusually set mine to 50 ( that's what botmaster recommend). Now forsorting methods you have standard, multisort, and sort in range.Standard - This will create a result .txt file with the URLs with thehighest PRs on the topMultisort - This is my favorite as it will create a separate .txt file perpr. The result file will be PR1.txt, PR2.txt, PR3.txt .....Sort in range - I normally dont use this methodOnce your all set click Run and your offYou may notice a good number of -1 or -2 results.

All you have to do is insert animage into your post. Follow the instructions in the referer trackingpackage and you're on your way to tracking your success – which is avery important factor in making sales!Chapter 7 ModificationsWe'll begin the Xrumer Modifications by doing a lesson on selflearning:Let's begin with a walkthrough of the self learning menus:System Options - There is where you can enable and disable theself learning system. I always recommend running with selflearning mode enabled.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedThe options here are pretty self explanatory, and deal with the level oflogging you want to enable. While the self learning system will handlea lot of the basic types of additional fields required for signup, as wellas sign up pages that will have non standard field names it’s only thetip of the iceberg when training Xrumer.The most important setting here is under “Add field

Page 45: 183433 xunleashed

when learningwhen”. During normal use I will usually select the option for “AddANY unknown fields and forms . . .” This option tells Xrumer to logany field it does not automatically recognize. We will see why this isgood in the next section.When working with a new link list I typically select the “Form couldnot be filled in, message was not sent” this is good as its logging thehtml form fields Xrumer is not able to fill in (typically seen under“the rest” report tab) and log them for later review.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedThe results of the self learning will be stored in Xrumer AI DB andwill not be added to XAS_AI until you define them under the“Control” menu.Control - As stated above this is where Xrumer stores the fields, etcthat it could not fill in for your review. Some of these may already befilled in as that is a result from the “Automatically accept programassumptions” from the option menu.Depending on the size of the DB collected lunching the control menumay take a few minutes to open. During that time you will see;And then you will get this message for another few minutes;copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer Unleashed

And then finally you will see a list like this;If your list gets to large, or you want to manage it by link list, or justwant to start from scratch rename the log .txt file locatedXrumer\FieldsForAI\Log.txt …All fields currently added will still beretained in the Xas_AI file.Keep in mind if you rename this file to create a new log, you will needto restart Xrumer just like any of the other internal program files.You can sort the control panel fields in any way you like. Typically Isort by the “Text before field”. Text before field is shows the textimmediately before the html form field Xrumer was unable to fill in.While this typically will describe the field in question, sometimefurther inspection is needed especially if the “field name” looks wayoff from the text before field.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedHere is one example of that;You can see the text before field is e-mail however we can see that thefield type is a checkbox, and the field name is a checkbox. So fillingin an email address here would not help at all. If you click to the linkon the right hand site it will take you to registration page for manualinspection.Now let’s start updating Xrumer. For my first example we will belooking at this line;

Page 47: 183433 xunleashed

We can see this signup page is asking for a text field to be filled in mymy Yahoo IM id. While this most likely isn’t necessary to signup it isa great place to add some more key words. When you select a linefrom the AI control panel you will see it populate down below.Now just like all the project fields in Xrumer. This can be filled in anynumber of ways.Pick a field from your Project profilecopyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedSince the nick name from my projects often reflects my keyword I amgoing to opt to use the same value. So if I select nick name then clickok the original line will now look like this;Let take a look at another field.This time its looking for age. We will have to use the custom textoption for this oneFor my custom test I am going to use #random[2..4]#random[0..9] –this is going to pick a random age between 20 – 49. The first part ofthis #random[2..4] picks a number between 2 and 4 and as you guestit #random[0..9] picks a number between 0 and 9. Some forumsrequire you to be over a certain year of age to join – typically over 13or 18 years of age so any age between 20 - 49 should be fine. I chosethis example to illustrate that you can use any Xrumer macro tocomplete the field. For any custom text field I

fill in I try to use amacro to ensure that each post is unique. Once your done addingthings in just click the “x” in the upper right hand side of the controlmenu and you’ll get a dialog box like thiscopyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedCaptchas and SECRETCODE:Although I can't teach you advanced HTML in this course you don'tneed to know that much to figure out what's a captcha, what's ausername field, etc. Let's start by looking through the entries one byone.Here's the first sample entry:Field name: Field Type: Text Before Field:AB_Question Text For protection againstspam, please answer thefollowing question.1) Click on the checkbox associated to the entry you want to change2) Select from the dropdown menu “Field Value:” the selectionSECRETCODE3) Press OKIf all went well you will see the green “State” checkmark light up andyou will see SECRETCODE appear in the entry.Let's keep looking for another entry.

Page 49: 183433 xunleashed

clear this field isanother SECRETCODE. Although “Text Before Field” is very usefulin determining unknown fields, it is unlikely that in this circumstancethe field name is related. Look at the “Field name”first. If it's obvious,go ahead and set the value for this entry. If it's not so obvious and youneed a second clue, have a look at the “Text Before Field”.Xrumer Unleashed Tip: Always double check the entries that Xrumerlearns on it's own. Most of the time it knows the correct field but ithappens that it will mistakenly associate the wrong field.When you're finished teaching Xrumer new associations, simply closethe self learning window. The following dialog box will appear:Teaching New CAPTCHAS to XrumerIf you decide you want to teach Xrumer new captchas, you'll want toknow about the captcha mask. Located in DeCaptcha/default.mask ,this file indicated the location of the images. Keep this in mind,Xrumer needs 2 pieces of information to solve a captcha: It needs thelocation of the image, and the name of the field which should be storedin the xas files.There is a method to enable Xrumer to attempt to solve captchas itdoesn't know for sure it can solve. This is done by adding this to

All you have to do now is restart Xrumer and it willautomatically fill in the fields you have taught it! Now let's look atanother way teach Xrumer:Import of Field Names – This little gem will allow you to import alist of values into your XAS or XAS_AI file. I also encourage users toupdate your XAS_AI file to leave you XAS alone.

Once you get the hang of it

Page 51: 183433 xunleashed

things become easier. Here's what you need to do to train Xrumer toperform a basic form submission:1) Create a new directory with a fresh install of Xrumer. This isCRUCIAL, as you will be messing with Xrumer's core files.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer Unleashedcopyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer Unleashed2) Enable Self Learning mode: Click on Self Learning Mode, thenclick on System Options, Then click the “Enable Self Learning”checkbox. The reason it's a good idea to enable self learning whentraining Xrumer is that it is meant to alert us of forms it was unable tofill. In this particular example we will be showing you the manual wayin case the self learning misses something.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer Unleashed3) Paste the URL of the form you want Xrumer to submit to in theTest field. The Test field is located directly underneath the big buttonthat says “Resume from last possition”. Once you paste the URL inthis field, press the Test >>> button located underneath the Stopbutton.Now let's go in-depth into Xrumer. First, what type of form are youtrying to submit? Does it require registration? Is there a captcha? Let'sstart with a basic example so that we can wrap our heads around the

concept.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedNote that for this particular example we will not be registering anaccount, as this classified ad system does not require email verificationor registration. All Xrumer needs to do is fill in the data and submit theform.For this to work, let's make sure we set the following options inOptions, Advanced Options. For this test, go ahead and Uncheck allthe boxes. We don't need any special options for this project.The first thing that you will need to do is submit the form manuallyand write down some important details. Let's start with the name andemail field so that we can introduce some more important files: XASand XAS_AI.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedOur first project will be to submit a simple form. We will besubmitting to http://au.bokrin.com/post/jobs_cat/internet_sub/ , so goahead and fire that up in Xrumer's Test mode. Depending on what iscurrently in your Xrumer's XAS configuration files, you may get adifferent result. I get the result in green font “Success”. You may get ablue font, or even a beige font with only the word “sent;”. All of these

are based on the file xmessages.txt which we will explore further in alittle bit.What's important here is that Xrumer has attempted to post to the formon http://au.bokrin.com/post/jobs_cat/internet_sub/ , now we need theexact details of the submission. Open up the Xrumer folder and thenopen up the Debug folder.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedIf your current LinkList id is 1, the debug files will have 1 appended tothem. Open the file called POST id1.HTML in a browser. Remember,the file number (1 in my case) is determined by the current LinksListid number.Here's what it looks like for me:copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedYou'll notice it says in big red letter “You must agree to the terms”.Right-click on this page to view it's source. Let's get the field name forthe checkbox, in this case “check_a”.Now we add it to the following section in XAS.txt:#checkbox1#agree1#check_a;check1;check21NOTE: According to the Xrumer documentation, one should onlyneed to put#check_a

You will haveto play around with it! Here's how you find out what was posted. Openthe file FormFields id1.txt . It should look something like this:=====[ FormAction: http://au.bokrin.com/post/jobs_cat/,FormEnctype: multipart/form-data ]=====[select] subcategory = Internet[select] city = Adelaide[text] city3 = Kwajalein[text] location = Marshall Islands[text] title = juicy title[text] price =[textarea] description = juicy description[text] email = [email protected][text] email2 = [email protected][checkbox] check1 = yes[checkbox] check2 = no[checkbox] check_a = agree[submit] post_submit = SubmitYou can check this file after each attempt to see what exact variableswere sent. We can see the all important [checkbox] check_a = agree,so we know that the problem checkbox will be ticked.If we submit this form using Xrumer's test mode, it will be submittedsuccessfully to the category “Business Development”.copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer Forums

JhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedWhat if we want to submit to a different category? It's very simple, weaccomplish this with the priority categories. Open your Xrumer projectand click on “priority categories” button. Put the name of the categoryyou wish to select at the top of the list and submit the form again. Youwill now be submitting to the category of your choice!Xrumer Modding Tip: Priority categories control the SELECTinputs!Advanced Modding:copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer UnleashedIn order to perform an advanced modification you will need to getfamiliar with 2 files. They are XURL and XMESSAGES.XMESSAGES is a list of status messages used to determine if Xrumeris logged in, if it is banned, if it submitted successfully.(XMESSSAGES determines what's happening)XURL is the logic behind Xrumer. This file is needed to determinewhere the registration link is on page, where the link is to create a newpost, etc. (XURL determines where to navigate)If you look at XURL.txt you can see the format of the syntax. A casuallook through the file shows you all the options that are disabled out ofthe box. For example, look for the line:[0,'reputation.php'],'');This is telling Xrumer not to visit this link, so

if you want toexperiment with any link that has this name, you will want to removethis!The first Earlier versions of Xrumer up to the current one at the timeof writing ignore the first line in XURL.txt . Knowing this, don't putyour modifications in the first line, put them in the second line sincethe first line is ignored for some reason.You need to point out to Xrumer 3 things:copyright©2008 Your Name or Xrumer ForumsJhonnyXXX & Murk Xrumer Unleashed1) Where is the main forum2) Where are the threads3) Where is the new post linkThe bulk of this is achieved through xurl.txt and the followingcommands:URL_TOREGISTRATIONURL_TOVIEWURL_TOFORUMURL_TONEWPOSTSometimes, it's necessary to indicate to Xrumer that it's ok to post.This is done via xmessages.txt and the ALLOW command. You mayalso have to use FORCE_SUBJECT and FORCE_TEXTAREA onsome forums or guestbooks. The best way is to experiment with onechange at a time and document your progress.
