This is going to be a pain in the ass; ive got the forum login done easily; but its then navigating to the profile pages which are not generically the same and each members profile url is different im clueless at the moment???

Thanks for the share!!

Here's a macro for confirming the links in gmail.

VERSION BUILD=6700624 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS
URL GOTO=https://mail.google.com/mail/?hl=en&shva=1#inbox
FRAME F=4
TAG POS=1 TYPE=B ATTR=TXT:Enclosed<SP>is<SP>your<SP>activation<SP>code
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TARGET:_blank&&HREF:http://*ACT=*
TAB T=2
TAB T=2
WAIT SECONDS=2
TAB T=1

And this one will login to your accounts change the bio and record the link to a .csv file. So far I only have this working for urls with /member/login/ in them.

Add your /member/login/ links to COL1
Remove all /member/* and anything after it from those links and add them to COL5
Add bio info to COL4

Wow you beat me to it LOL!! But mines a bit different and a bit more complicated!!

Instructions

Download both the files below and copy and paste them in to your DATASOURCES folder in your iMacro folder:

http://rapidshare.com/files/416231569/links2.csv.html

http://rapidshare.com/files/416231591/links3.csv.html

Copy and paste the following into iMacros...

SET !TIMEOUT 20
SET !DATASOURCE links2.csv
SET !DATASOURCE_COLUMNS 1
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE 2 
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
SET !LOOP 2
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE {{!LOOP}}
URL GOTO={{!COL1}}
WAIT SECONDS=3
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=* ATTR=NAME:username CONTENT=[COLOR="Yellow"]yourusername[/COLOR]
SET !ENCRYPTION NO
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:PASSWORD FORM=* ATTR=NAME:password CONTENT=[COLOR="Yellow"]yourpassword[/COLOR]
TAG POS=2 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=* ATTR=NAME:username CONTENT=[COLOR="Yellow"]yourusername[/COLOR]
SET !ENCRYPTION NO
TAG POS=2 TYPE=INPUT:PASSWORD FORM=* ATTR=NAME:password CONTENT=[COLOR="Yellow"]yourpassword[/COLOR]
WAIT SECONDS=3

SET !DATASOURCE_COLUMNS 1
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE 2 
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES

SET !DATASOURCE_LINE {{!LOOP}}
URL GOTO={{!COL1}}
WAIT SECONDS=3
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:Edit<SP>Profile
TAG POS=1 TYPE=TEXTAREA FORM=* ATTR=NAME:bio CONTENT=<a<SP>href="[COLOR="Yellow"]yoururl[/COLOR]">[COLOR="Yellow"]your<SP>anchor<SP>text[/COLOR]</a>
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=* ATTR=VALUE:Update
WAIT SECONDS=3
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:[COLOR="Yellow"]yourusername[/COLOR]
SET !EXTRACTADD {{!URLCURRENT}}
SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=[COLOR="Yellow"]yourfolderlocation[/COLOR] FILE=profile.txt

Change the text ive marked in yellow to your own details.

PLEASE NOTE:

when creating anchor text with spaces use <SP> for space i.e anchor text dog training tips would need to be done as dog<SP>training<SP>tips

also the same when choosing folder to save text file in say your folder path is C:\Big Nose\data you would put C:\Big<SP>Nose\data this will prevent any script errors

If you want to add more than one url and anchor text amend the script line as follows:

TAG POS=1 TYPE=TEXTAREA FORM=* ATTR=NAME:bio CONTENT=<a<SP>href="your url">your<SP>anchor<SP>text</a><SP><a<SP>href="your2nd url">your<SP>anchor<SP>text</a><SP><a<SP>href="your3rdurl">your<SP>anchor<SP>text</a>

I would personally stick with 3 urls max per bio; just to be safe in case of errors!!

Once every thing is setup correct for your preferences; set the loop to the max number you want to do this session and run the script.

The script copies the url of your profile page for pinging purposes into the profile.txt file; which will need to be edited because failed profile urls will appear in this as well which is easy enough.

There will be errors due to the fact that some registrations werent successful or moderators havent approved the accounts, but just let the bot do its job.

Thanks Mr Midjam for the excellent auto GMAIL confirmation thats genius and am sure it can be adapted to hotmail, yahoo mail and others easily.

What if while we're posting to the bio we use several
links/anchors/keyword(s)/phrases at the same time.

If they accept one they should accept several right?

HTH .... :cool2:

Yes, but some forums limit the length of the bio field.

Well I didn't mean get abusive with it.
More like just our main 3-4 links/anchors, etc .....

Thats a good point; dont see why you cant post 2 or 3 anchor text links in the bio per account.

Im working on my first script for auto registration to cut down on the failed registrations with url list, will slow the script down slightly but still quicker than doing them manually.

 

[paincake]

I can scrape more lists like this but with different forum engines, like smf, vbulletin, phpbb etc. Just tell me what forum engine you want and i'll make a list.

 

[JackSparrow]

Ok dudes; ive updated both my scripts on page one of this thread; tried the first 50 urls got better registration success; and have tried to cut time down as much as possible with both scripts.

Thanks. So with this script we should login first into our gmail account and then run the macro correct? Do we need to hit "Play" or "Play (Loop)" (and put in the number of emails we got in the "Max" box when we run it?

 

[JackSparrow]

Good point!! Dont see how the script for the email confirmation is going to loop to the next one. Unless im missing something???

 

[insider]

Xrumer can automate the process.

Doesnt works out of the box, you have to mod the xas/xurl/etc. files to do this right ? I got "no post sending forms found" when running your list through xrumer.

 

[fencersbeatngu]

I've been running your signup script for 4 hours, I just set the time from 15 to 2 seconds, since I won't stop at captcha places, and by now I have 12 hundred already and 700 confirmation emails , WTG jack.

After that I'll try the gmail conf script, and after that the profile modificator

Im happy its working for you; ive just updated both scripts on page one of this thread; so people should see a bit more success.

You need to login to your gmail account first. Click play loop and it will cycle through the unread messages, open them and click the confirm link.

I just ran your script for editing the Bio section and ran into 2 problems:

1. The url that it extracts in the profile.txt is "http://url/member/update_profile/" instead of the "http://url/member/xxxxx". Are you getting the same thing or is it something on my end that is causing that issue?

2. Also how do I add more than 1 link in the bio section? What I did was I added 2 more lines in the script using this code"TAG POS=1 TYPE=TEXTAREA FORM=* ATTR=NAME:bio CONTENT=<a<SP>href="your url">your<SP>anchor<SP>text</a>" so that I had 3 lines of this, but it only inserted the 3rd line and only 1 link. Should just add 1 line, but add on at the end of the first url?

1.Yeah just delete these, those are errors because the bio is either locked or doesnt have a bio box for some reason, manually got to your profile page for this and copy the correct profile url.

2. Dont create two additional lines of code just edit the one like this:

TAG POS=1 TYPE=TEXTAREA FORM=* ATTR=NAME:bio CONTENT=<a<SP>href="your url">your<SP>anchor<SP>text</a><SP><a<SP>href="your2nd url">your<SP>anchor<SP>text</a><SP><a<SP>href="your3rdurl">your<SP>anchor<SP>text</a>

This should work!!

This should work!!

Thanks. It worked for me. Another thing that I noticed is when I hover over the anchor text in the bio section the url displayed on the bottom of my browser shows "http://the_forum_url/?URL=http://my_url/" instead of just my "http://myurl/"(although when I click on the link it goes to my url).

So do all ExpressionEngine forums do that to your url, or is just this one particular forum, or is my syntax wrong in the script? All the other forum profile links that I have left before shows the just my url when I hover over the anchor text.

Edit: I guess it's just that one forum since I did the next forum and it is normal when I hover my anchor text.

 

[CloudMarketPro]

So do you guys think it is a good idea to register accounts and put up your bio profiles on the same day or within a few hours? Is there a greater likelihood of your account being deleted? Or should we like register for some accounts and confirm, then wait maybe a 1-2 days before editing the bio sections? Anyone care to share their feedback on this matter?

So what would be the best way to get these profiles indexed? I've done the pinged thing before and it didn't seem to work as good. Any other way to get these links indexed in like 1-2 days?

I can scrape more lists like this but with different forum engines, like smf, vbulletin, phpbb etc. Just tell me what forum engine you want and i'll make a list.

vbulletin, phpbb would be good ones. It'd be nice to get lists that do not require any sort of captcha so we can just let them run without watching each one. I don't know if vbulletin or phpbb forums all require captcha or not, but expressionengine has some that has no captcha when registering.

I guess even with captchas would be good since we can build up a good list to use over and over again.
