Introduction

Dear Reader,

Firstly, thank you so much for purchasing the Ultimate Scrapebox Advantage. You have decided to put your trust and faith in me and the methods that are in this guide, and you have made the right decision. I know that the techniques, methods and ideas that are discussed here will enlighten you and enrich your use of the Scrapebox tool in every aspect imaginable.

In this guide I will give a short introduction to the basics, what I think you should know, most common add-ons and their uses, and other resources to help you as well as the merge feature and proxies.

Then I get into the meat of the course and I start to discuss auto approved blogs. I talk about stealing your competitor’s links in various different ways, and give you other ways of building auto approved blogs too. Then I talk about high pr moderated blogs, and go into some detail with methods there as well. Next is do-follow blogs, I talk about how to find them and all the information that should come with finding them; I give some great resources and techniques here which you are going to love. I talk about getting your comments approved, finding high pr forums, using scrapebox learn feature, and other techniques like scraping images, plr articles, rss, indexing, and more. In the appendix section I give all the resources I use, tools, websites, and most importantly, a list of custom footprints for you to use.

It’s probably best for you to read this guide before putting anything into practice. However if you would like to just skim through the guide and see what techniques you like or using the material in the appendix section more beneficial, please do what suits you best.

Anyway, it’s time to get the introduction out of the way and start on the good stuff... So let’s get to it!

Cheers, Josh M

Basics

Stuff you should already know

I don’t want to waste too much of your time going over the obvious stuff. There is literally a ton of free information on scrapebox to get you started, and it would be a waste of both of our time to include it in this e-book. This guide is meant to give you advanced backlinking methods, and advanced scrapebox uses, and putting those two together to help your sites rank faster and smoother.

If you don’t already know how to use scrapebox, then I urge you to follow these links, and watch and learn. The tool can be learned in a few days, and mastered in a few weeks, and with this guide you will have the ultimate advantage over anyone who only has these free resources.

The Ultimate Scrapebox Advantage

Just before we start, I would like to mention that in any business you will need to invest money. For example, you have just invested in a guide to teach you scrapebox methods. Within this guide I will tell you where are good places to invest your money to help you along the way; however I will always present a free option for you.

You do not need to spend any more money, but if you’re serious about Internet Marketing, which I’m sure you are, then you should understand the importance of investing, so don’t get upset or offended If I tell you that it’s a good idea for you to go and buy some tool, or service.

Don’t forget, there is usually a free version for everything, so don’t worry... ...Let’s begin!

Scrapebox

Here is scrapebox broken down for you, it might look complicated if you’re looking at it for the first time, but if you think about it in sections then it’s much easier to deal with. Scrapebox is split into 4 main areas, the harvester, the URL section, the proxy area and the comment poster.

The Tool

Your keywords or footprints go here We will use Custom Footprint

Proxies down here

List of Harvested URL’s Here

Trim your List with these options

Input your info for commenting Here

Harvester

URL’s

(9)

Here is some more basic information on each area to help you understand what this tool can do. Do not expect to be an expert after you read this, this is just meant as a reference and

introduction to the various features.

The Merge Feature Clear Footprint Put Keyword lists or Footprint Lists Here Scrape Keywords Import a list

URL’s are Listed Here Remove Duplicate url’s/domains Trim all to root domain Check pagerank of url’s Check Indexed Scrape emails from url’s Import/Export URL list Import/Export Url’s & PR Start Harvesting Perform Action with List

Proxies go Here (mine are blotted out) Select which search engines to scrape from Check proxies or Harvest Proxies

Select Method of Posting (Fast is Good for Auto approved, slow gets a higher success rate but takes longer, and manual is great for high pr relevant postings) Select either Ping mode, RSS, Trackbacks or Link Checker Information for the comments goes here Start Postin

(10)

TIP: When you select check links, when you select it the names field, emails field, and comments field will be greyed out. All you need to do is put the link you are checking for in the websites area, and the list of the sites you are checking on.

Anchor Text and the Names Field

You can use the name generator to generate names for the name field, but this field is also used as an anchor text field. This is because your name is usually used as the link to your site, so if you want to have the right anchor text for your link you need to write them in the names field. This is usually a problem for people, because if you are linking to several domains then you want to spin the anchor text according to those domains. Also you don’t want to have to keep changing the names field. So I have the solution, I always just fill the names field up with generated names, these can always be the same every time it doesn’t matter. Then in the website field, where your links are going to go, you write the text file like this,

• http://www.website1.com {keyword1|keyword2|keyword3} • http://www.website2.com {keyword4|keyword5}

What this will do is spin the keywords in the brackets and use as anchor text for the preceding website. This means you can link multiple sites with specific anchor texts, and it means you don’t have to input your keywords every time into the names field or have loads of keyword text files ready for the names field.

Settings Menu

Adjust Maximum Connection This is scrapebox’s ability to multitask,this is used for checking multiple pr’s at once, making multiple comments at once, etc. I recommend leaving it at default and then increasing it slowly over time until you get to your perfect setting. If you have a slow

computer then you might want to try lowering the default a little bit.

Adjust timeout settings Scrapebox has a timeout feature which tells it when to stop trying and move on. The amount of time that this takes is decided by you in this settings area. If you are on a fast connection then it

shouldn’t take as long to perform tasks, also if you are using private proxies it should be faster as well, so the timeout should be shorter too. If you happen to run into a lot of 404 or timeout errors, then increase these values until you are at your perfect settings.

Post Only using Slow Commenter

Use this if you’re getting a lot of errors with the fast commenter option don’t use this for default. The slow commenter increases your success rate, but decreases the speed of posting.

Use Multi Threaded Harvester This Speeds up your harvesting rate dramatically. It also eats up more cpu than usual; this option is good if you have a fast

computer. Adjust Multi Threaded

Harvester Proxy Retries

This is how many times scrapebox should try to connect using the same proxy after it gets a 404 error. Default is good unless you’re seeing a lot of errors, then you can lower this setting.

Fast Poster Connection Balancing

The Fast Poster Connection Balancing splits your list in to 500 URL batches internally, the connections go down to zero momentarily after each 500 URL "burst' before the next 500 are posted to. This gives Windows and the network a short break to process

outstanding messages etc and allows everything to free up. It will slow down the comment session slightly, but can provide more stability on some peoples systems.

(11)

Options Menu

Use Custom User Agents Edit Custom User Agents

“User Agent” is a term that refers to a browser, or application that accesses the web somehow. When you are looking at a website, your user agent string is logged by various statistical programs that are installed on the server. So, if you use the same user agent you could be leaving a footprint.

Its best to select use custom user agents, and then in the edit custom user agents section put in various user agents you could use. Go here and copy paste some http://www.user-agents.org/index.shtml?moz.

Enable Crashdump Logging This is a great tool and very helpful for the long run. Your scrapebox might crash, or sometimes your computer might crash, or anything might happen where the program has to close, and you don’t want to lose your data, things you have scraped or harvested etc. You need to install the add-on, scrapebox crashdump logger, you can then successfully enable this in the options menu.

Setup Email Notification Server This is useful if you are running scrapebox in the background and want to be notified on when it finishes a task that takes a long time. This is also good if you have scrapebox running on other computers and you want to be notified when it’s done.

The Add-Ons

The Add-ons are a great section of scrapebox, Before reading this guide, make sure you have

downloaded and installed every add-on, and read what each one is. There is short description in the available add-ons window, and at this site -http://www.scrapebox.com/addonsso I don’t need to explain them here. There will be some add-ons that are used in some of my techniques, so you will need to know what they are. There are only 23 add-ons and their name are all pretty self

explanatory, but if you don’t know what one does exactly, and the short description is not enough, do a search for the specific addon.

An Important Word on Proxies

Proxies are really important when harvesting URL’s or posting with scrapebox, and the best proxies you can get are private proxies. I would say that getting your own private proxies is an absolute must for any scrapebox user, especially those that are avidly using it and since you have bought an

advanced guide, I am guessing you are one of those people.

There are Private proxies, shared proxies and free proxies. The free proxies that can be harvested using scrapebox are great for a quick use, and if you use free proxies then make sure you scrape new ones before every use of the tool.

Shared proxies are proxies that are shared between paid users, and private proxies are proxies that are just dedicated to you.

Free Proxies are great for doing simple tasks like scraping in small amounts and checking pr so in that respect I recommend scraping new free proxies every day. Also free proxies can help increasing the speed of some of your tasks and minimizing your footprint. However getting private proxies or shared proxies is important too because you will complete tasks much faster with better results. I usually get 2 or 3 private proxies, 5-10 shared proxies, and 50-100 free proxies every day that I use scrapebox. I get my private proxies at http://www.yourprivateproxy.com/413.html (affiliate link) where they have cheap package deals on private or shared proxies.

To find free proxies you can use the scrapebox proxy harvester, and then test them to filter out the bad ones. Here is a youtube video on proxy harvesting

(13)

Footprints

You have to have a basic idea of what footprints are and how to use them with scrapebox as most of the e-book is centred on the use of footprints. A footprint is basically a marking on a website that makes it unique to other websites. For example every website that says .edu in the url, is going to be an education/university website. If a website has the keywords “dog houses”, then that is a footprint that tells us that the page is related to “dog houses”. In fact, any text in the entire html coding of a website can be tracked as a footprint.

Here is an example. I searched in google with this footprint. “powered by wordpress” “leave a reply” “dog training”.

This brings me all the websites that have those phrases in the html code of the website. Here are some cut-outs of one of the resulting websites.

And here are portions of the source code that have the footprints highlighted.

<met a ht t p- equi v=" Cont ent - Type" c ont ent =" t ext / ht ml ; char set =UTF- 8" / <

</ a> - Al l Ri ght s Reser ved<br / >Power ed by <a hr ef =" ht t p: / / wor dpr ess. or g/ " >Wor dPr ess </ a>

At the end of the book I will provide a much more detailed footprint list and you can use that to scrape anything you want.

This is just a simple example of using keywords to scrape various sites, and there are infinite possibilities here. However if you want to become a scrapebox master, you need to be aware of some basic google operators that you can utilize to get the most out of your footprints.

Eventually, you are going to want to produce your own footprints, as these will always be the most unique, and you can only do this with a basic knowledge of operators to start with, so here are the operators that you can use.

Keyword “dog training” in the title which is perfect for our niche. The keyword “leave a reply” was visible,

so we know commentin is allowed.

(14)

Search Operator Meaning

allinanchor:keyword The keyword must appear in the anchor text of links pointing to the page inanchor:keyword Only the keyword following the operator must appear as an anchor text of a

link pointing towards the page

allintext:keyword All words must appear in the text of the pages

intext:keyword Only the keyword following the operator must appear in the text of the page allintitle: All query words must appear in the title of the page

intitle: The terms must appear in the title of the page. allinurl: All query words must appear in the URL.

inurl: The terms must appear in the URL of the page. inurl:.xxx Searches a site with the domain suffix “xxx”

“keyword” Searches for pages that have your “keyword” in the page. -“keyword” Shows pages that does NOT have that “keyword” in the page “keyword phrase” Find pages with that exact keyword phrase

link:www.site.com Find linked pages, i.e show pages that point to the URL site:www.site.com Search only one website or domain.

These are the standard search engine operators, and I will be using them later when we talk about more complex footprints to use with scrapebox operators.

Also these common operators can be included with any other footprints I give you, you find in the appendix, or you just pick up. These can be combined, messed around, and used in many varying different ways. I will continue from the example I used earlier, which is already using three keyword phrases. Let’s see what we can add to that.

I could make the footprint,

• Inurl:.com intitle:dog training “powered by wordpress” “leave a reply” “dog training

That will scrape all the pages indexed by google that are .com, have “dog training” in the title, are on the platform wordpress, and give you the option to leave a reply.

I will go through most of the footprints when I teach you the techniques and methods of various scraping so I won’t go into too much detail here, but you should always come back to this section to see how you can drill down to find what you want with more targeted operators and so you get used to using them regularly.

Also, I provide a massive list of footprints for you to use at the end of this e-book in the appendix section, so don’t think you are going to have to find all the footprints yourself. Most of the work is already done for you.

The Merge Feature

This feature isn’t really spoken about much in tutorials that I have found on the net, so I will explain it here and then give you all the resources you need in order to use the merge feature.

Basically, you have your footprints in a text file, with the scrapebox operator %KW% in it

somewhere. (e.g “powered by wordpress” %KW%). Then you load up keywords in the keyword area of scrapebox, or scrape keywords, and when you have your keywords, you hit the merge button. Then load up the text file with the footprint in it with %KW% in the footprint, and the footprint will be merged to all of the keywords.

You can do this with several footprints in one file, and several keywords. The more combinations of keywords and footprints, the more results you will get.

(15)

Think of the possibilities here, if you have 10 footprints in the text file, and you have 100 keywords, then you can merge 1000 unique footprints, which will all scrape hundreds if not thousands of results each.

Also you will be able to reuse the text files with your footprint in it with future niches/keywords that you would like to scrape for.

One more thing, and this is a special treat for you guys, I have attached with this course text files that are full of footprints, that are all ready for the merge feature.... awesome, I know!

So all you need to do now is input your keywords, and then merge in one or more of the text files for, forums, blogs, ping sites, edu, gov etc. and the correct footprints will merge with your keywords instantly.

Before Blasting

Before you go out and blast your site with thousands of links using my methods, make sure you read through all of them, and get a better understanding of the whole process. If you run through it and then come back and follow through with the information then you will learn much faster than by trying each method as you read it.

Also I have included in the “After Thoughts” section a portion on avoiding the sandbox, and how you can set up your linking structures so that no blast of links it too much. Here I discuss backlinking methods like web2.0, link wheels, redirects, aged domains etc.

This is what your text file might look like

Load up your keywords here, or scrape them

Then hit merge, and load the text file with the footprint(s) in it.

Auto Approved Blogs

Here are the methods I use to build auto approved blogs lists. These methods can be mixed up, turned inside out, and used at your enjoyment.

A couple of things first; when building a big auto approved blogs list, having paid proxies is almost always a must. They will make the whole process faster, easier and you won’t find yourself throwing your keyboard through your monitor because of a 404 error flashing on the screen. Also, I want to go over a few things before going into the details of creating an auto approved blogs list; do-follow, or no-follow, high PR vs. Low PR, and OBL.

Do Follow or No Follow

This is a question that I have seen posed in a lot of places, some people say that no-follow is a waste of time and useless to backlinking, and some say that both are important. Firstly, let’s get a few things straight. No-follow links will not help boost your rankings, since google does not consider them to be a contributing factor. There are a couple of exceptions that I think should be mentioned. Yahoo answers and Wikipedia are no-follow, but links from those sites are almost certainly

monitored and given value to by google. However the thousands of other no-follow sources will not help your rank directly.

Even so, No-follow backlinks are STILL important. Since we are trying to be organic and natural in our link building, we should always be looking to diversify our backlinking as I’m sure many of you know. Getting no-follow links is just another way of diversifying your backlinking and your footprint, and in fact there isn’t a better way to do it. If you think about it, a website that only has links on do-follow is a lot more suspicious than one that has a mix of both. So in actual fact, even though no-follow links may not help you in the ranks, the fact that they increase your footprint and diversify your links, they indirectly help your rankings by making your other links stronger.

So no-follow is still important, and I would recommend getting around 15%-25% no-follow links to mix up your footprint and your backlinking when trying to gain authority and rankings to a site.

High PR vs. Low PR

Quality versus quantity, get more of pr0’s, and pr1’s, and few of pr3’s 4’s and 5’s. The simple reason is that a high PR link contains a lot more “juice” than low pr links, and you do not need as many of them to get to the same place. Also if you get many high pr links, but few low pr links then you are not diversifying your footprint evenly enough and your backlinking will not look natural and organic. One high pr link (pr3/pr4) a week is good for a new domain, however you should only do that much if you are building consistent lower pr links. Don’t forget about no-follow as well.

OBL (Out Bound Links)

The amount of outbound links on a page is seen as very important to some people and not such a bother for others. I don’t think anyone really knows how much link juice gets diluted by the amount of out bound links on a page, and I definitely don’t know either.

I think the smaller amount of OBL on a page, the better. However if you are deciding which blog to comment on where one has 500 OBL, and one has 1500 OBL, it won’t really make a difference. If you are commenting on pages with less than 50 OBL, then that is a noticeable difference to think about. Again I think you should try to diversify, obviously the stronger links with low OBL you get more of in this case, just like no-follow and do-follow, but blasting your site with links on pages with a very high OBL can create some great link power when they are all added up.

(17)

Also you have to consider that any auto approved blog you post to, whether it has 50 OBL, or 10 OBL, can still be spammed to death in the future, meaning your comment will be lost in a sea of comments making your Low OBL quality link, a rubbish spammed link on a high OBL page.

Don’t forget we are only talking about posting on Auto Approved blogs now. Later on we will talk about getting quality blog comment links that will stick for a long time and not get spammed.

Finding Auto Approved Blogs – Trial and Error Method

This is the common method, but not the best. I will go through it here, and you can decide if it’s good for you or not.

You want to start with using a custom footprint targeting wordpress, blog engine or movable type blogs (a full list of custom footprints is in the appendix section) I find that using a custom footprint brings more results than just ticking the different blog platform options, but you can try both and decide for yourself.

Load a list of keywords in your niche, or scrape some, and then start harvesting.

You have a few options here; you can load up your keywords and merge some footprints to them. You can load up your keywords and select a blog platform to scrape from. You can load up your footprints and then input a custom footprint into the footprint area. Or you can hand write all the footprints with the keywords in the keyword area (which is what merging will do)

Either way, you should end up with a few footprints to be scraping for. Let’s say your niche is “dog training”, here could be a few possible footprints

• “powered by wordpress” “dog training”

• “powered by wordpress” “leave a reply” “dog training” • “powered by blogengine” “dog training”

• “powered by Movable type” “dog training Insert Keywords /footprints Here

Insert Footprint Here

(18)

After the Harvester has finished, delete duplicate URL’s. You can keep harvesting new keywords, or keywords that weren’t completed if you would like to keep expanding your list.

After you are happy with a nice long list of domains with a mix of keywords and platforms you need to do a test blast to the domains with a fake website, for example www.ls089jsdn-90nsdf.com or you can use a sandboxed domain and hopefully help it out of the sandbox. Fill up the names field with generated names, and emails with the generated emails. Make some random comments, they don’t need to be anything special, and then post using the fast poster.

After the post is complete export all the posted ones to a text file, posted.txt, and all the failed to failed.txt.

Next, load up the failed ones in the blogs to comment on, and do the blast again.

Export Posted to file (we will save these for testing)

Export Failed to File (we will re post to these and do this again)

Remove Duplicate Domains and URL’s

Run a Blast with a Test Domain and then export posted and failed, Submit to failed again, and repeat. Check Links, All found links are

(19)

Keep repeating the last few steps until you are exporting only failed one, or very few posted ones. Make sure you save the posted ones as posted1.txt, posted2.txt, posted3.txt etc. However with the failed ones, you can keep saving over the failed.txt, because you won’t need them later.

Next, import and replace the list with all the posted links gathered into one .txt file. Transfer to blogs list and tick the “check links” checkbox.

All the links that are found are on auto approved blogs, save this list and you now have an auto approved blogs list.

Finding Auto Approved Blogs – Steal Your Competitors Links

In this method we look to find all auto approved backlinks that your competitors have got and get links on the same blogs.

First you have to visit http://seoserp.com/google_page_rank/1000_SERP.asp enter local google, or google.com (global) and enter your domain, your keyword, and hit “SERP”. Scroll down and hit “see more” to get up to 200 of your competitors.

Copy this list into notepad++ (you can download it free, check appendix), select all text, then hit Menu > TextFX Tools > Delete Line Numbers or First Word, and repeat to remove the colon.

(20)

Open the scrapebox addon, the backlink checker and load all your URL’s. Hit start; When it has found all your competitors backlinks, download all to save the file containing your backlinks.

Open up the add-onblog analyzer and load your list, hit start, and when it’s done filter out all bad blogs and captcha (if you don’t have decapcha).

Save the list to the scrapebox harvester, and do a test blast with a fake domain like we did before (or you can use a sandboxed domain) and then follow the steps in the last method to check the links to find auto approved blogs.

Select all the text, delete line

numbers or first word. Do this again to remove the colon.

Load url’s from file, harvester, or blogs list

Start gathering backlinks

(21)

Export posted and failed ones to separate txt files, and load up failed ones and blast again. Keep doing this until you only have failed ones. Make sure all your successes are saved as separate txt files, success1.txt, success2.txt etc.

Gather all the success posts together and bring back to scrapebox to check for links. Use the link checker and check for the fake domain you made up, the ones that it found are all auto approved. That’s the second method to building your auto approved blog list.

To take this a tiny step further, when you are looking for your competitors, try a few keywords in your niche, so you get different competitors, and your auto approved list will be bigger

Finding Auto Approved Blogs – Finding Spammers Backlinks

This is another good best method to finding auto approved blogs lists. Finding Spammers auto approved blogs list by reverse engineering the blogs they have posted on. There is also a similar method to find forum spammers which I mention later on.

First, you need a heavily spammed blog, you can use your own as a honeypot blog, and collect up spam website, or you can use the massive auto approved list that I gave you. Once you have one you will know it by the hundreds or thousands of comments that have been built here by people just like you building auto approved blogs and posting to them.

What we know is that probably 90% of spammers, who auto posted on this blog, were auto posting on other blogs at the same time, so all we have to do is find their backlinks and we can trim down to the auto approved blogs.

Let’s use this spammed blog as an example.... http://www.darkfinger.com/post/Librarians-bare-it-all-for-charity-Please-DONT.aspx

The first thing to do is open the page source by right clicking on the page in your web browser and clicking view source. Search the source by hitting Ctrl+F on your keyboard, and enter in <div

class=”comment”> in the search bar. This will bring you straight to the comment section, where hundreds or thousands of people have spammed their links. Highlight and copy everything below the line <div classs=”comment”> and paste into a notepad++. Then Replace “<a href=” with afew spaces, and replace “>” with a few spaces as well. This will isolate the links and get rid of the html around them.

Then load up the file into a link extractor tool like www.spadixbd.com/elink/and extract all the links from the text document. This software costs a few bucks, but the alternate version is to find free software, or manually go through the file and copy paste all the sites of the spammers, which is what I used to do. Manually selecting about 20 websites can find you several thousand auto approved blogs.

Now you have done it either manually or with a tool and now you have a big list of all the spammer’s sites in a text document, now you need to load them up into the scrapebox harvester, and use the scrapebox addon“backlink checker” like you did for the competition.

Load the spammers URL’s, hit start, and download all the backlinks to a txt file once it has finished. Import the list into the blog analyzer, and then filter out all the bad ones and the captcha ones (if you don’t have a decapcha account)

Then do a test blast to all the good blogs with a fake website or a sandboxed site, export posted ones, and export failed ones. Then load up failed ones and try again, keep repeating this step until you only have failed ones. Save all the successes as success1.txt, success2.txt for every time you

(22)

reload the failed ones, however you can just save over failed.txt because you won’t need the old failed ones.

Once you have gone through the failed one until there are only failed or until you can’t be bothered anymore, group together all the successes and load up into the link checker so you can check your test links.

Hit start on the link checker and all links that were posted and come back as a success are auto approved blogs

This method can be expanded by using many spammers’ sites, on many different blogs, and then scraping all the backlinks and checking all of them. You can use the merge function and the special merge ready files that came with this course, or create a merge file yourself.

Finding Auto Approved Blogs – Scrape All Pages from a Domain

A great way to build your auto approved blogs list even bigger is to scrape all the blog pages from a single auto approved domain. Most likely all the pages from an auto approved blog are also on auto approve, so now you just need to get all of them. This is very easy to do.

If your auto approved blog is http://www.autoapprovedblog.com, you replace http withsite:http and then copy the “site:http://www...” into the keyword list. Leave the custom footprint area empty while you do this, and hit harvest. You want to do this with a POST page that you have

confirmed is auto approved.

For example use this auto approved blog, http://sheknows.com/blogs/alytude/?p=3383 if you now search google, or scrapebox, with the custom footprint

• site:http://sheknows.com/blogs/alytude/?p=3383

A list of all the pages from the site will show. This footprint will give you around 10,000 auto approved URL’s from this one blog. I have included with my guide a list of 5,000 UNIQUE auto

approved blogs, if you can scrape 10,000 pages from 1 blog, you can scrape 50,000,000 urls from the list I have given you.

I’m not saying that it will be that much, but it’s a start for you at least.... I recommend scraping as many High pr blogs, scraping those blogs to get all the inner pages, and then trim again based on pr. Even with all that trimming, you will still get a very nice list that you can blast at any time.

Tip: You can do this on a massive list of auto approved blogs, just load into notepad++ and replace “http”, with “site:http” and they will all get changed, then load that list into the keyword section and follow the same steps. Or use the merge feature with the correct file.

(23)

Tip: If you only have the top level domain of a blog that you want all the pages you can post on, then use the footprint site:http://www.topleveldomain.com “leave a reply”.

You must make sure that at least one post page has the footprint “leave a reply” on it, and you know others pages you can comment on will also have those words. It might be “leave a

comment”, or “Post a comment” or a few possible other variations, so this step of checking is very important.

Trim, Crop Expand

Now that you have several methods, you can go and build auto approved lists as large as you want using these methods repeatedly to make your list bigger and bigger.

You can trim your list by the PR, the amount of Outbound Links, or whether or not it’s do-follow. Here is my method summed up. I use all the methods of building a unique auto approved list, and when I have several thousand unique auto approved blogs, I scrape all the pages from the high pr domains. Then I check pr of those inner pages and trim to what I want.

Now I have a list of just High PR auto approved blogs that I can blast to at any time. It’s a good idea to use these methods every week or month depending on how often you do scrapebox blasts, and keep building your auto approved blogs list.

Load up good blogs here in the format

site:http://www.highprblogs.com/postpage.... Then Start Harvesting to get all the inner pages

Then check PR and trim to the specs you want

(24)

High PR Blog Commenting

Now that you have all the methods on auto approved blogs, you can go out and get what I call

“quantity links” whenever you want. These are the less valuable links that you build lots of. However those “quality links” that you need to build as well are also found by scrapebox. These methods are more whitehat, as you are commenting on moderated blogs, and also these methods are great for new sites as well.

To some, the scrapebox tool seems like a very spammy tool, where you can post thousands of links to people’s blogs in massive numbers, and in some ways they are right. That is a part of the tool; however scrapebox is so much more than that.

The best way, I think, to use scrapebox, is by scraping high PR relevant blogs, and manually

commenting, or auto commenting with well spun comments (we will discuss that later) and getting quality links to your site.

You want to find High PR blogs that have very few OBL, and the blog should be moderated. (No auto approved... that was last chapter₎

I will discuss a few of methods of finding high PR backlinks and also commenting so that your comments get approved!

Finding High PR Blogs– The easy method

What we are doing for this method is finding niche related High PR blogs, PR3 or up, and then manually leaving a comment pointing back to your site, web2.0, .301 redirect domain or any of the other sandbox safe methods. You don’t have to do it the safe way because this isn’t link blasting like with auto approved, however if you want to be extra safe, then use a sandbox safe method.

Let’s say your niche is the presidents of America, and you want to build links to your Obama page with relevant links pointing to your site.

Type into the scrapebox keyword area, • intitle: barack obama

• inurl: barack obama

Now you can start to harvest using whatever footprint you want, wordpress, movable type or blog engine, there is a huge list of custom footprints in the appendix section for you to use, so make sure you have a look.

Save all the harvested URL’s into a big list, and remove duplicate url’s and duplicate domains. Then check pagerank, and remove anything below PR3.

If you want you can check for do-follow with the do-follow addon, or with a method I discuss very soon about finding do-follow blogs in the “Finding Do-follow Blogs”. You can also check OBL at this point if you want.

Now prepare some relevant comments about barack obama to post manually on these blogs.

You are writing a comment like “I like president obama because blah blah blah, and I like the points you made here about him” and since you’re on a page that has barack obama in the url, or in the title, then your guaranteed to be very targeted and your comment is much more likely to get approved.

The comment section will explain in more detail how to write comments, and how to spin comments that are relevant and will get accepted. But for now, let’s have a look at another method of finding High PR blogs to comment on

(25)

Finding High PR Blogs – Sign up to post

There are some blogs that require you to sign up to post, some of these are auto approved once you have signed up so they are very valuable for your backlinking efforts. Also there are usually less spam comment and high OBL pages on these blogs, so you are getting great links.

Have a look at this post on a blog you have to sign up for...

So we can use that footprint “login or register to post comments”, to find other blogs that also require you to login or register.

Scrape with a footprint like this, you can use other blog platforms too. “powered by wordpress” “login or register to post comments”

Make sure you check these because there will be a few that won’t be exactly what you’re looking for. You can use the blog analyzer to check, or do it manually.

Finding High PR Blogs – Scraping From Usernames

This is a method that kind of trails on from the last one and is a great way of getting very nice high PR blog posts, and if you use the tips I give in the commenting section, then your posts will get approved very often.

First things first, you have to find a high PR blog that you have to sign up for an account in order to post. You can do this with the previous methods of scraping high pr blogs, or you can use custom footprints that are in the appendix to find some great high pr blogs. When you have found a blog, look to see what the usernames of the people commenting, let’s say its Winspire.

Your footprint that you will use should be “Submitted by Winspire”, the other possible combinations are “Winspire says”, or “by Winspire”, I’m sure there are other variations, but you will pick them up the more blogs you end up visiting.

Use the above footprints as keywords for harvesting, and choose custom footprint but leave the harvester field blank. So your footprint for this technique will be,

• “submitted by username” • “posted by username” • “username says” • “by username”

• ...other possible variations.

Copy this username

(26)

Try to scrape get as many usernames as possible, so you can get more results you can type all this in manually, or you can use the merge files that came with this e-book. Just load up your keywords and merge the username method text file.

When you finished harvesting you will have a list of websites where these users have signed up to blogs with the same username and posted a comment.

Filter out the high PR ones, (most of them will be High PR usually) and now you have a big list of High PR blogs that you can sign up to and manually post your relevant comment to get a great backlink to your site, web2.0 page, or redirect.

Since this method is for very high pr links on relevant pages, you don’t have to post many, these are what I call “quality links”. You don’t need many to produce a strong effect.

Finding High PR Blogs– Generic Comment Scraping

This method is good to find auto approved blogs as well, but we are mainly focusing on High PR ones. This advanced methods works on the basis that when people are doing manual commenting or auto commenting they are using generic comments. First of all don’t do these yourselves because you are giving yourself a footprint.

You can use these people’s comments as a footprint to find all the blogs that they have posted on either manually or auto.

Just find a blog that has generic comments on it. Then put that generic comment in quotes and harvest all the sites that have that comment in. You can do this by putting a list of the generic comments in quotes into the keyword area, and then hitting harvest.

If you can’t find any blogs with generic comments, I have a big list of generic comments that you can use in the appendix section.

This technique is great for finding blogs that you have to login into to post, but are auto approved and allow links in the body of the comment.

(27)

Finding Do-Follow Blogs

Firstly, it’s near impossible to scrape only do-follow blogs, and this is because the do-follow attribute does not apply to websites and pages, it applies to individual links. The Scrapebox addon checks how many links are do-follow, how many are no-follow and then determine if the page is do-follow or not depending on the balance. Also the scrapebox addon only checks wordpress sites, and is not even 100% reliable with that either.

I am going to provide a couple of ways to check a webpage for the do-follow status without using the scrapebox addon that work on all blog platforms, and you can determine if these techniques make life easier for you or not.

A couple more things first; Firstly, about 97% of blogs are NO-follow.... so if you are finding more than 3% of your scraped domains turn out to be do-follow, then you are doing very well! Secondly, if you are scraping spammers links, competitors links, or comment posters links, then you are much more likely to run into higher pr do-follow blogs, because they have already done the scraping and narrowing down for you and it’s likely that they were looking for the do-follow attribute (this applies more with the High PR blog scraping methods)

Finding Do-follow Blogs – Link Checker Method

We are going to use the scrapebox link checker to see if a site is do-follow or not, and the thing about the scrapebox link checker is that it is actually reading the entire html code of a website and searching for a specific code that you have inputed, in this case we are looking for the no-follow attribute.

After you have harvested your list of blogs, or if you have a list already, hit the check links button and import your url list into the link checker. Then edit the websites file and write the following into the text file.

• rel=”nofollow” • rel=’nofollow’

Now the links checker will check for any no-follow attributes, and you want to keep all the blogs where scrapebox doesn’t find anything (i.e failed ones), as you know there are no no-follow attributes on that page.

Finding Do-follow Blogs – Link Checker 2

This is very similar to the previous method, and like the previous method also has its cons. This method is useful for checking the specific link that you built is do-follow or not, rather than just the links on the page.

Select the “check links” button In the websites field, input the no-follow tags mentioned above

In the blogs list field, input the blogs you are checking for the nofollow tag

(28)

Post on a list of harvested blogs with a fake domain, then go back and check links and use this code in the websites file.

• “url of the fake domain you used” rel=”nofollow” • rel=”nofollow” href=”url of the fake domain you used” • ‘url of the fake domain you used’ rel=’nofollow’

• rel=’nofollow’ href=’url of the fake domain you used’

Again, all the failed ones are do-follow, however even though this method isn’t 100%, its better than using the scrapebox add-on as it’s more accurate and you can check sites other than wordpress. Use these methods to help find more do-follow blogs, and get better links back to your sites, web2.0 properties, or redirects.

Finding Do-follow Blogs – Lists/resources/directories

Ok, now that I have your attention about do-follow, I want to discuss it properly for a minute. Stop thinking about scrapebox for the moment, and just listen up. Even with an incredible tool like scrapebox, finding a do-follow blog to comment on is very challenging, however we do know the importance of do-follow, and it will cover about 75% of our link building effort, so it’s worth our time to find these do-follow blogs.

Besides the obvious backlinking benefit of getting do-follow links, you have to realise that there is a massive traffic potential as well, if you’re getting links on high pr blogs, with relevant comments and these blogs are getting views, then your comments are getting views, and that means that there is a potential for traffic to your site.

So I am going to discuss finding do-follow blogs without scrapebox, but then using scrapebox to expand our list to its massive potential, and having all the do-follow blog URL’s we will ever need.... excited yet?

Do-follow Resources A couple of lists....

• WhyDoWork • MySEOBlog • Nicusor • jimkarter

And a directory or two for do-follow blogs, • FollowList

• BigFootMarketing • Blogs that follow • Dofollow

And a couple of do-follow search engines • CommentHunt

• inLineSEO • w3ec

Ok, now there is a lot there, but before you check these out, keep reading. I have more to say about do-follow, and all these resources will get repeated in the appendix section. First of all, not all these sites will be do-follow as no one can moderate a list this large perfectly; however most of them will be do-follow.

(29)

If you find a blog you want to comment on, make sure you check its do-follow by using the seo for firefox plugin, no-follow links are shown in red. You can also get a plugin called nodofollow, which I use and I think is a bit better.

Download NoDoFollow here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nodofollow/

Ok, so you go to one of the do-follow resources above (or in the appendix) to find do-follow blogs to comment on, then you check to see if the blog is indeed do-follow by confirming with the

nodofollow plugin.

Then you scrape all the pages on that domain using the custom footprint “site:dofollowblog.com” (without quotes), then you run the blog analyzer tool to see if you can comment on any of the pages. You have now built a do-follow blogs list that you can use to get targeted moderated do-follow

backlinks to your site at any time.

To make this method even more powerful, load up a big list of sites that are confirmed do-follow into the scrapebox keyword area, and scrape all the pages from all the sites... then run blog analyzer to build your massive list.

Finding Do-follow Blogs – Comment Plugin

This method uses the idea that people use a comment plugin that encourages users to post their comments, and lots of these are do-follow.

The most common plugins are CommentLuv, KeywordLuv, TopCommentators, RecentComments etc. The KeywordLuv plugin is my favourite because the links that you are allowed to place in your post are do-follow, and you can use any anchor text you like.

Here is the footprint to use to find these blogs, For keywordluv,

• “@YourKeywords” “input your niche here” “This site uses KeywordLuv”

Do not put your keywords where it says “@yourkeywords”.... that is just part of the footprint, here is an example.

For comentluv use the footprint,

• “Enable CommentLuv” yourniche

(30)

For Top Commentators, here are some optional footprints.

• Top commenter yourniche • Top commenters yourniche • Top commentators yourniche • Top commentors yourniche

Unlike KeywordLuv, you will need to check the others if they are do-follow. A simple double check with the donofollow plugin is enough, and it’s really quick and easy to use.

Tip: The only footprint I ever use is keywordluv, because its do-follow, you can have links in the post, and there are enough to last me a lifetime. Also always scrape all the pages from a good blog that you find.

Finding Do-follow Blogs – iFollow

Here is the last method I will mention, and then I will leave do-follow alone, I think I have spoken about it enough.

We are going to be using google images to find blogs that have an image that say that their blog is do-follow

Search google images for any of these strings below to find blogs that have the do-follow attribute, however always double check with the nfollow plugin.

• ifollowblue.gif • ifollowgreen.gif • ifollowpink.gif • ifollowpurple.gif • ifollowltgreen.gif • ifolloworange.gif • ifollowwhite.gif • ifollowmagenta.gif

• ifollow.(gif/png/jpg, take your pick) • utrackback_ifollow.gif

• ifollow-red.png • inurl:ucomment • inurl:ifollow

Whenever you find a domain that is do-follow, scrape all the pages with scrapebox and trim down with blog analyzer.

Using Scrapebox Learn Feature

This is a great new addition to scrapebox, and it’s not spoken about much. This feature is incredible and has massive potential. I will give you an example on how to use it and then you will be able to use it for other things too.

The Learn feature in scrapebox is used to teach the tool how to post to platforms that it hasn’t posted to before and doesn’t know how. And the way it works is by going to these platforms manually and teaching scrapebox which field means what, and what to post into each one.

You have to repeat the process with a few blogs until scrapebox can “learn” that platform. So I will do this with one example, and if you find other sites that you want scrapebox to “learn”, just use the same techniques to teach it.

Teaching Scrapebox Habari

So as an example of the technique, let’s do this with Habari blogs, as they are quite popular, very similar to wordpress, and scrapebox doesn’t know how to post to them.

First of all, let’s scrape some habari platform sites using this footprint • "powered by Habari" "leave a reply" -"wordpress"

You can include a keyword in that footprint as well if you would like, but for the moment, let’s just scrape some habari blogs.

Once you have a list, you will load up the list into the scrapebox manual poster, and also make sure you have the emails file, comments file, names file, and websites file ready.

It doesn’t really matter what is in the names, emails, websites, and comments, because we are not actually posting, we are just training scrapebox to learn the habari platform.

Scrape Habari Blogs using the footprint

Select Manual Poster Transfer URL’s to Blogs list for commenter

(35)

Hit Start posting, and the manual posting window will pop up.

Then load up the first site on the list, and click “Learn” and another window will pop up with the first site showing.

Then click on the Name field, and a box will appear which says “define field type”, you want to click the Name field.

Do the same for the email field, the website field, and the comment field and the submit button. Then name the blog platform “habari”.

Select the first one on the list

Click “Learn”

1. Click the area you want to teach to scrapebox

2. Then select the correct field

3. Do the same with the, Name field, the email field, the

website field, the comment field, and the submit button.

(36)

Then hit done, and move to the next website on the list. You have started to teach scrapebox the habari platform.

It will take a few blogs until scrapebox has fully learned the platform. Load up the second site on your list and you might see that one or some of the form areas have been filled in. If they are all filled in then scrapebox has learned the platform, and will not let you click the learn button. If only some of the form areas are filled in, you will be able to click the learn button.

Click the learn button again, and follow the exact same steps with the next site. After doing this with a few sites, scrapebox will have learned the platform, and it will fill out all the fields for y ou. If you click the learn button again, scrapebox will show you this screen, which means that you have already taught it the platform.

This technique is very simple but can be used to teach scrapebox different blog platforms, so if you ever come across a platform that isn’t recognised, just teach it to scrapebox and then scrape as many blogs as you can.

(37)

Finding High PR Forums

A great way of getting backlinks is from forum profile links, and forum signature links. I am going to provide below what I think the best way to find forum profile links, and how best to use the forums you find. Forums are good for links, and traffic, so I will discuss both.

We are going to be looking for vBulletin forums for getting links because their profile links are publicly viewable, and they allow anchor text links in your signature.

Have a look at this screenshot of a vBulletin Forum, notice any footprints?

Put that in the custom footprint area, and then add some keywords. To get more results, use more keywords, your basic forum footprint should be,

“Powered by vBulletin” “In order to proceed, you must agree with the following rules”

Then scrape, and check thedomain pagerank (not URL), then filter out all the low PR domains, and you now have a big list of pages where you can just sign up and place your link on a publicly viewable page ,and you can also add your signature with a few posts on some pages.

You can also scrape other types of blogs, here are some footprints for you to use. I also mention many more forum footprints in the footprint section in the appendix.

Also try some of these strings to get some results too. These help you look for register pages, you can try these with all the blog types above, or look in the footprints area for more ideas.

There are many more footprints in the appendix, and you can find some yourself by going to forums and seeing if there is a footprint in the code, or url, or title of a site.

can answer a question by saying “go to this site”, and you can solve an issue someone has by offering your link as a valuable resource.

I’m sure there are more ways, but it’s important to know that forums have very responsive communities usually, and they are communities of people that need solutions to their problems. What better way than that is there for you to make some money?

There is one exception to this rule of forums for traffic, and that is in the internet marketing niche.... and it’s because we all know what you are doing.... there are plenty of other niches of clueless

individuals out there though, just waiting to be sold to.

Indexing Techniques

Indexing is an important part of backlinking, although these techniques that I discuss here are about forcing indexing, either using rss, pinging or the rapid indexer. The best method is the RSS method, as it looks the most natural. The pinging and rapid indexer methods are more dangerous, and considered spammier, so I will mention them and explain them but not go into too much detail.

RSS

Using RSS is a great way to get your backlinks indexed fast. There are several methods to doing this, and I’m sure you will see other techniques elsewhere, but I will show you what I do, and I think it’s the best way to do it.

First import your list of links that you have created into the harvester, either on blogs, forums or elsewhere. You can also load up your website and inner pages if you want them indexed.

Then export as RSS XML List, make sure you split up the entries so there are 30-40 entries per xml list.

Then a window should pop up and you can start scanning; what this will do is scrape the title and description for you. When this is done you can export and save it to a folder that you will remember. Remember to split up the entries so there are around 30-40 entries per xml.

Then upload it to your server via FTP or your Cpanel. If you don’t know how to do this then look it up on google, I recommend software called filezilla, it’s free, easy to use, and I use it. Go here to

download filezilla, http://filezilla-project.org/

Test the feed by looking up the url of the uploaded feed in your internet browser, it should show a list of the sites that you have posted your links on.

Rapid Indexer – 40,000 Links

Scrapebox rapid indexer is great for indexing backlinks or creating backlinks to your sites, web2.0, articles, redirects etc.This method works best on redirect domains and aged domains. Don’t forget, this is a dangerous method, it’s very spammy, and should be used with caution.

I have provided with this guide a list of about 35,000 URL’s that you can use with top level domain names, (i.e mydomain.com not mydomain.com/page1.html), and a list of about 5,000 domains that you can use with multiple level domain names (i.e mydomain.com/file1/page2.html).

A couple of things before you use this methods, firstly, this isn’t a good method for building

backlinks, it’s a good method for getting your current backlinks indexed, or indexing or backlinking your redirect pages. Secondly 99.99% of these are no-follow links, so this won’t affect your serps at all. However if the links you are trying to get indexed are do-follow, then this will help them get indexed and WILL increase your ranks.

Firstly, open up the scrapebox addon, rapid indexer. Then load up your websites that you want to get indexed (either your redirects, or links you have posted etc.) where it says load websites. And load up the list of rapid indexer sites where it says load services.

Then hit start!

Don’t forget, if you are using complex urls, such as www.domain.com/page2/file1/image.gif then use the smaller 5,000 list.

If you are using top level domains, or subdomains, such as domain.com, or subdomain.domain.com, then use the 35,000 list.

With these few methods you should have no problems getting your sites or backlinks indexed by google.

Tip: Split up the list of rapid indexer sites so your only doing blasts of a few hundred at a time, and in general use this technique with caution, and with aged domains or redirects.
