i have added ALOT of the BHW lists, and other lists from other forums, alot of them have the same directories
i also did a search for directory footprints, i have over 50 footprints for directories, but can only manage to get around 30K urls, then after removing dups its around 6k urls, which only end up converting into a few hundred added sites, then out of those im lucky to get 100 submissions.....not having alot of high success with AMR..
i will try what you have suggested, thanks given!
if you know any good footprints, or have suggestions or techniques for scraping directories that would be dope!
I'm in the same boat as you except even worse results. I would love to hear some tips I just bought AMR a few days ago simply to make use of Captcha Sniper. Frustrating.
Just some quick tips, which I always do whenever I create new accounts on AMR.
1. Always use a hosted email (a domain you own, not yahoo/gmail etc)
2. Make password all lowercase
3. I tend to include a special character in a password, and make it 8 characters long. Such as p@55w0rd as an example.
4. Run the signup process on all sites in red, then run it again, and run it again. You will find some sites which don't signup in the 1st run will work in the 2nd and 3rd runs
5. Change the password to just letters and numbers, run signup process again
6. Confirm all emails, once this first process is complete, confirm all emails again.
7. Refresh the email list (yellow sites), so you now have a list of all sites not yet confirmed fully. Highlight them all, right click, login details - forgot password. Once this has completed, leave it 5 minutes, then run confirm emails again.
8. Refresh site list onto ok (green) sites, and run a submission
9. Once this is complete, run a LL check on author login, then refresh the site list (run LL check on all sites - submitted, failed, none).
10. Sort the list by quick result tab, and blacklist all the crappy ones, such as not accepting articles etc. I tend to leave the "unknown" sites in the list. You will also see some sites which appeared to failed during the submitting process, did actually go through as you will see a LL for it on the next tab. As good as AMR is, directories change their structure, and AMR is not very reliable at picking up livelinks from many different websites.
That will help you maximize your current list to it's full potential.
If you want to scrape new sites, there are lots of posts on this forum with regards to footprints, but here are some which may help you. I'm not usually very keen on giving out site lists and as such personally, as I spend a hell of alot of time keeping my list up to date, and don't want the sites to go down due to severe spam and bandwith issues, but in the view of giving back to the community, and hopefully for some good karma, here are some footprints you may not of used which should find you some sites:

That will help you find AD and WP sites. You will find alot of WP sites won't accept submissions - this is normal so just get rid of those, but there will be some good ones.
If you keep scraping and testing out new footprints, making up your own and all sorts, you'll build your list up nicely. I currently get around 400 live links immediately straight off a submission, and running those 400 sites through SB, 98% of them are indexed too, and 100% of them link back.
Good luck
