Xrumer Aggressive Posting Mode: How to Avoid Complaints
Since running this blog for the last few years, Xrumer tips have probably been one of the most popular requests. So, I thought I’d share a tactic which works great with the Xrumer aggressive posting mode option.
But, first, I’ve received growing number of emails about when WPBlackhat is officially opening again – very soon! We currently have 700 members and are the most active, BH underground private-membership site on the Web. We will be opening the doors for 300 new members as we are expanding to 4 new forums – some exciting stuff going on! However, if you are thinking about joining, DON’T do what this guy did: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/blogging/177927-question-seriously-has-anyone-heard-wpblackhat.html He’s now banned from joining! The whole point of a private membership site is that things stay private.
Ok, let’s move on. If you’ve ever played with the aggressive mode of Xrumer, you know it can really piss off forum owners because it creates multiple threads after registering. And, if you spam a lot of forums you WILL get complaints! But, with the following tactic, I’ve had ZERO complaints so far
Here’s what to do: create a highly spun post for Xrumer that includes at least 3 URLs. 2 of the 3 URLs are randomly chosen sites in different niches to you.
The post will be something like this:
The internet is great. You can visit sites like [Website 1] and read some great info. Another great site is about [website 2] – this really provides great tactics about blah, blah, blah, blah. Finally, go to [Website 3] and you’ll learn about blah, blah, blah.
But, it will be in spinning syntax – {word1|word2|etc}. To create the above post in spin syntax I recommend you use The Best Spinner – it’s awesome! Website 1 and Website 3 are not your sites and they are used as red herrings. On your site Website 2, use this plugin: http://www.contentgeneration.org/temporary-cloaking-while-link-spamming/ - it allows spiders to see your site (blog) while displaying a ‘suspended’ message to human visitors.
How does this tactic work? When forum owners see your posts on their forum, they will click the links. Out of the 3 sites, 2 work fine and 1 is suspended. So the forum owners ignore the suspended site (your site), and complain to the other two site owners or their hosts or registrars – but you will get few if any complaints! So, far I’ve not got one complaint and this link-spamming tactic is very effective if you spin the post a lot!
Use this tactic for deep linking to your sites and don’t just throw all the links at the homepage!
CPA Redirector 2
By far, the most popular post on this blog was the release of the CPA Redirector plugin. It’s been downloaded nearly 100,000 times!
And, here’s the much anticipated updated CPA-R:
CPA-R WP Plugin: http://www.contentgeneration.org/cparedirector2.zip
Standalone CPA-R: http://www.contentgeneration.org/scparedirector2.zip
SCPA-R: http://www.contentgeneration.org/scparedirector2.1.zip (removes index.php)
This new version is simpler, easier and even more effective to use. CPA-R has been copied by numerous script developers and sold! However this version, unlike the rip-offs, is guaranteed to NEVER EVER leak the referrer. I’ve tested and added additional functionality that guarantees 100% the referrer will never be leaked, and it does not matter what browser or browser version is used! And, most importantly, it uses a final php redirect and not a JS redirect, which means it works with ALL networks and is totally undetectable – unlike the rip-offs!
This new version works like the old version, but there is no need to modify any themes. Simply, upload to the plugin folder and activate. There are no more redirection options – it’s simply the best and easiest version of CPA-R to use. And it will never leak the referrer under any circumstances!
Inside WPBlackhat, I’ve been beavering away at putting together the best and easiest system to make money online – and, yes, it’s greyhat! The system leverages Web 2.0 sites for both traffic and link-juice, G’s fondness for exact-match domains, and the amazing selling-power of pre-sell blogs. This system will be available to WPBlackhat members only – because it’s absolutely killer! However, watch out for the next post if you’d like to get a taste of what it’s all about!
The Art of Link Spamming
It ceases to amaze me how many people complain after buying link-spamming tools like SE Nuke, Scrapebox, EVO II, Sick’s Profile Maker and - the big daddy of them all - Xrumer. The usual complaints are: ‘my site dropped in the SERPs’, ‘looks like my site is now banned’, ‘my site is still not indexed’, blah, blah, blah!
Realize, Google’s (and other SEs) spam team buy these tools and test them. They look for footprints and patterns. So, if you use them out-the-box then you may find they aren’t effective or they damage your sites’ ranking!
Most buyers of these tools fail to appreciate that link-spamming is a skill! Like learning to be a plumber, electrician or bricklayer, etc, but the art of link-spamming can be gained in a relatively short period unlike other trades.
As with learning any trade, trial and error plays a big role and so does learning from mistakes. Yet, I wonder how many owners of the tools above have bothered to learn how to use them properly or continually to develop their skill? Less than 5% perhaps?
First, let me tell you that all the above tools work and work well if you know how to use them. Also, if you know how to use them effectively, you cannot fail at moving your sites up the SERPs consistently!
So, how can you develop your link-spamming skills?
It’s so simple you’ll be floored: practice, make mistakes, learn from them and improve. Here’s how to do it. (While improving your link-spamming skills, practice on other peoples sites and NOT your own!)
Choose a small number of niches that you are not interested in. Choose some keywords related to those niches. Use the keywords to search Google and go to pages 10 to 15 and choose one of the URLs on that page. Now:
Spam lots links to a URL all with the same anchor text.
Find another URL and spam lots of links with varied anchor text.
Again, spam links to another URL using just profile pages.
Spam links to another URL using non-related anchor text.
Spam links embedded with spun text.
Spam just a few links to a URL, then after a while, a few more.
Etc.
Keep a journal and monitor how the URLs perform in the SERPs, very soon, you’ll begin to understand how variations of link-spamming can affect sites and pages; especially when you see sites/pages move up the SERPs and even drop in the SERPs. Then, you’ll begin to develop insights into how to link-spam effectively and how to NOT link-spam!
Because link-building is such an important skill, WPBlackhat is being re-structured to provide even greater value to it members. As a result, we’ll be focusing on two core skills (with many case studies) that can take any-one who masters them to earning six-figures and beyond! What are those two core skills?
Link-building mastery, and;
Pre-selling master.
To make 6-figurres annually, these are the only 2 skills you really need and nothing else! I’ll explain more in my next post.

Ubot: The Next Generation of DIY Bots
As mentioned before:
- What’s a bot? Xrumer is a bot, BF SEO is a bot, SE Nuke is a bot, you use bots to game MySpace, Facebook, Bebo, and many other 2.0 sites. Bots are automated or semi-automated tools that carry out repetitive and mundane tasks – such as account creation, verification, scraping, captcha solving, blog commenting, etc, etc.
Bots can scrape, login, logout, add links, remove links, get content, manipulate content, post content, etc. In other words, bots can do almost anything. The problem is the difficulty in creating bots, right? Wrong! With UBot any one can write a bot quickly to do untold things. UBot is the simplest way to create bots!
The guys behind UBot are doing a special promotion and you can save a significant amount of money if you grab UBot Studio NOW. But, first, read about UBot:
Next have a play with a bot:

Now read what people are saying about UBot.
We’ve been using UBot Studio in WPBlackhat for a while now and have a growing number of bots that do all sorts of things. And, all WPBlackhat members agree, it’s fantastic tool and indispensible! So, I recommend you grab a copy: http://ubotstudio.com/Checkout.aspx
Link Building Tools and Domains Chats
In the last week we had two online chats inside WPBlackhat:
Link building tools: http://wpblackhat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3296
Domains – new, expired and aged: http://wpblackhat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3321
As usual the chats were really good – informative, insightful, and to-the-point.
In the link-building-tools chat we mainly discussed Xrumer, Link Farm Evolution, comment spammers, SEO Link Pro and similar tools. I explained the best way I’ve found to use these and showed an example of getting a hub page to rank number one for a keyword and also get some page rank too – using automated tools! I also emphasized the importance of building your own empire of free-hosted blogs, getting them page rank and how to use them for your money sites.
The domains chat was excellent too, and the follow up questions on the forum were detailed. I explained the problem with new domains is that they have no trust in Google’s eyes, and because they have no trust they don’t rank well. I demonstrated one of the best ways to get domain trust pretty quickly so new domains can start to rank well. Interestingly, I asked members whether they thought quality links or domain age was most important for trust. What do you think? The answer may surprise you!
We also talked about expired domains and the three things to consider when buying them. Finally, aged domains (aged sites really) was discussed and I told a story about one team guys buying tons of old sites and how they cashed in on them.
Our next chat is on Monday, the last one before the new-year. The chat is about pre-selling – the MOST important skill any online marketer can learn. Unmissable!
It’s nearly Xmas, so we are gonna open the doors to WPBlackhat for just a day or two for 15 new members only! After that we close the doors! In my next post I’ll announce it, but if you want to sneak in early here’s the link: http://wpblackhat.com/member/signup.php
Link Building Tools Chat
The link-building tools chat has been postponed to Monday 7th December. It was supposed to be this week but pig flu got hold of me!
We’ll be covering all the popular link-building tools (Xrumer, LFE, Brute Force SEO, Evo II, SE Nuke, Link Dozer, etc, etc. In particular, I like to focus on what works – what’s currently working in the SERPs and getting sites a better ranking position.
Link building is the most important but most boring part of SEO, so you don’t wanna miss this chat it will be great and eye-opening.
Also, as most members find the chats so informative, I’ve arranged a few more in the next few weeks including:
Domains: aged, expired, new. Where to buy them from cheaply and how to exploit them for maximum ranking.
Pre-Selling: The most overlooked strategy in online marketing! Why be constantly chasing more traffic when you can increase conversion by 3, 4, 5 times or more using killer pre-sell strategies.

2010: Where’s the Money?
As internet marketers we all like to see our profit increase year in and year out – not always possible, but it gives us a warm funny feeling if we do it. So, with 2010 just over a month away, what will you do different next year? What will you do to increase your bottom line?
Well, recently I’ve been racking my brains to identify the basic skill or skill-set that essentially all marketers (especially affiliates, like me, you and every one else that reads this blog!) should improve and even try to master. What fundamental skill should we all really focus on improving?
After a lot of deep thought, the answer is Pre Selling
What is pre selling? Here’s a simple quote I found while reading some blog: “Pre-selling is basically getting the user to buy the product in his/her mind before he really even buys. So by the time the user gets to the actual buy now page (landing page), he/she is already ready with credit card in hand to buy.”
Collectively, the affiliate networks have paid out BILLIONS (1,000,000,000s) to affiliates, and this figure will only INCREASE over the coming years!
Now, ask yourself how much money have you lost because you have not bothered to pre-sell to your visitors? Or your pre-sell copy/tactics sucked so much you made minimal conversions? Don’t worry, we’ve all been there!
I’ve been delving into pre-selling tactics for a while now, and to be honest, I’m floored! An entire realm of marketing dynamics exist that I knew virtually nothing about! The more I delve into it, the more astonished I am!
I’ve found a myriad of concepts and tactics that can be employed to increase sales by 3, 4, 5 times or more! I admit some of these concepts and tactics are certainly on the dark side! Such as:
Using social proof to increase trust;
Invoking negative emotions to amplify proudct desire and interest;
Employing isolation to reduce buying resistance;
Combating primary and secondary buying objections;
Emphasizing primary and secondary buying motives with social proof;
Cult-like dynamics (don’t ask – lol)
These pre-selling tactics can be used on blogs, forums, typical websites, landing pages, etc, etc. For instance, instead of a banner linking directly to a merchant’s site, you could link it to a post on your blog where the pre-sell strategy begins.
To improve your pre-sell skills, start by reading this: http://makepeacetotalpackage.com.s3.amazonaws.com/udcc/premiums/CopywritingConspiracyLoRes.pdf
Then look for the following torrents/downloads:
Forbidden Key to Persuasion – Blair Warren
Triggers – Joe Sugarman
Keys to Power Persuasion – Alan Tutt
How to Write Killer Presell
Etc, etc.
There are many more books to read but that will get you moving in the right direction.
Because of the importance of this subject, I’ve created a new section in WPBlackhat called Presell Mastery, here: http://wpblackhat.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=12
And I’m scheduling an online chat about it too very soon, because it’s more important to convert existing traffic than to be constantly chasing more traffic!
If you learn/improve one skill in 2010, make it the art of pre-selling and you could increase your income dramatically!
How to Increase Sales the BH Way
There’s been so much crap about the FTC’s “affiliate marketing rules” I felt I had to do something about it
Political bureaucrats meddling again in business creating more red tape, more costs, and undermining true business dynamics - laissez faire capitalism.
F@ck the FTC: How to Increase Sales the BH Way is a strategy that can increase sales by 3, 4, 5 times or more! It can be used for physical or virtual products/services, and it’s not FTC compliant

Virtual Niche Blogs with a (Large) Dash of Blackhat
A while ago a member of WPBlackhat posted a script to create virtual blogs (here: http://wpblackhat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1327) on WP. The author of the script is Stephen Rider and is blog is here: http://striderweb.com/nerdaphernalia/features/virtual-multiblog/
I suspect, unconsciously, I’ve been thinking about a way to exploit this script for a while (although it’s obviously useful for simply maintaining a large network of blogs), because a few hours ago I had “Ah-Ha” moment!
Let me tell you more…
First, I’ll ask you a question: let’s say I have a general blog about technology and a niche blog about registry cleaners. Would you agree there is a significantly greater chance of making sales of a registry-cleaner product on the niche registry blog than the general technology blog (even if the general blog had numerous registry cleaner articles)? From my experience, it’s much, much, much easier to make specific product sales on a niche blog than a general blog.
Now, if you understand a little about TrustRank (not PageRank), you’ll know that articles (or posts) on sites with some trust, get indexed quicker (almost instantaneously sometimes) and can rank well - very well sometimes with few or no backlinks.
So, here’s the idea. Take a general blog with some trust (you can get them reasonably cheap from DigitalPoint or Flippa). Add some posts about kids’ toys, Wii games, video reviews, etc, etc, etc. These posts rank well because of the domain trust. Now, imagine if we used cloaking combined with virtual blogs…
We cloak the posts on the general blog so only the search engine spiders see them. Human visitors see something entirely different – they see a virtual blog. For instance, if the post they clicked in the SERPs is about toys they see something like: http://toptoyreview.com/, or, if the post they clicked in the SERPs is about Wii games they see something like: http://wiigame.deals-for-less.com/, or, if the post they clicked in the SERPs is about video reviews they see something like: http://videoultrareviews.com/
In other words, search engine spiders see the general blog but human visitors see a virtual niche blog related to what they are looking for. By showing humans a niche blog, there is significantly greater chance of making sales!
How difficult is it to turn this idea into reality? In fact, it’s fairly easy. Inside WPBlackhat, we already have the cloaking technology with several plugins using it very successfully, so it’s just a matter of creating a plugin to manage the virtual niche blogs. The niche blogs themselves can be created using http://reviewazon.com/ or a similar plugin.
Ok, time to get coding!
Update:
The author of the script is Stephen not Jason
There is some confusion. This concept has nothing to do with redirection - it’s all about db switching. As mentioned by Stephen, an entire WP blog is stored in an SQL db. So, switching a db is effectively switching a blog. The dash of blackhat is about switching to a relevant database based on a keyword. I’ll create an example that illustrates it.
