Fantomas Shadowmaker new version out soon!
- Thread starter xu123
- Start date
I'm a Shadowmaker licence owner, been on cloaking for some years, did some bucks and then left.
Indeed SM is a great piece of software (last version I used is 2.0):
- recollect a list of keywords, longtails and hypos (from 1 to unlimited)
- copy and paste the list on SM
- select one only target url or a target URL by keyword
- select search engines (major ones and language mirrors)
- wait for the script been scraping tons of pages (it was setup to scrape up to 5000 serps for SE)
- after minutes or hours or days, you get an email by SM telling you can go to downlload and clean scraped content (might be some MB txt file!)
- after sanization upload it again and then go to the final step: creating doorway/shadowdomain pages (1 by keyword), by selecting min/max size range, keyword density, links for sitemaps, adding feeds, and some other option
- upload result pages to your server and wait for hits while spiderspy manages visitors by IP
2950USD look very expensive, however you can create millons or thousand millons pages in a matter of days with very few work, another thing is being able to create serious search engine traffic on them and how can harm your ranking some data you can't avoid google to recollect, bounce %, for example, you might need some extra work to make SM looking as much as possible a normal site to Google eies.
Also: do SM needs proxy to scrape content from 500 pages without getting blocked?
Where can I find VPS hostings with cheap IPs to add on cpanel?

In SM you have a selection of search engines to choose from so 500 would be chosen among several.
You can do a search on cheap VPS...but cheap is what you will get. Just make sure that perl multi threading is not simply an add on but that it is installed with the VPS for you.

You need help with it ?or are you saying I don't know what I'm talking about?
For shadowmaker to work properly the VPS has to have perl re-compliled with the threads module. Not as an add on as your host may suggest.
My host provider Linux manager knew exactly what I meant and recompiled it as the add on is not enough.

Is this the same software that got all co.cc domains banned from Google a month ago? The websites that use nonsense spinning, scraped content, with keywords. Visit the site you see "service suspended" or 404 error. Cache is turned off so can't see content directly. Meanwhile Google is shown the spun scraped content and when it sends traffic, its forwarded to amazon affiliate stores?
If so, two words: Shelf Life!
As a side note, I'm surprised it took Google so long. all you had to do was type in inurl:co.cc "product name" and instantly see 50k spun scraped websites all being redirected to amazon affiliates stores.
Won't be sorry to see this software to continue failing (if its the one I've described above) ... every penny it makes comes out of the pockets of the people who create the content it scrapes.

PS, if anyone wants to see exactly why co.cc domains were banned, and why .tk domains are next on the chopping block ... go to google and type in this ...
intld:".tk" handbags
Huge network of .tk spun scraped content on this software that happens to have their cloaking turned off at the moment so you can see what the content it produces looks like.
Now if you can find 2500 pages of spun junk just by a simple google search command, don't you think Google will do something about it in the very near future?
-- all .co.cc domains removed from index in June
-- all .tk domains removed from index in ____?
-- if a simple search command can find 2500 abusing domains, how long will it be before Google can weed out top level domains (when they're clearly on the warpath)?
Is it wise to sink 3 grand into a product that got millions of websites removed from the index last month? Its all cat and mouse from here on out until Google finally makes think type of cloaking unprofitable.

Not sure which program you are talking about that redirect to amazon sites. It has nothing to do with the SM. SM does not tie itself to any affiliate domains.
It is purely a cloaking program and it cloaks does it better than any other program out there.
It looks like some one is using a form of cloaking to spam google with crap and that is what you get if and when you spam google with crap.
SM is not the only cloaking program out there, there are a lot of custom made cloaking scripts that people use and they all work around the same principle. Ill give you an example with the difference.
Last month I had a new domain that lasted less than 2 weeks using a simple redirect cloaking script.
Using SM with its editing features and other "stealth" capabilities a similar domain has had over 50 pages indexed for specific keywords and growing and it is over 2 months old.
People pay 3K for the program because they know that 99.9% of owners will not abuse it and because they know the results it brings.
It all comes down to how you use it.
Are you serious with your question?
How much money you will make is totally depend on you and what it is you are promoting.
And the other guy that asked if there is a magic button no there is no magic button so please do not even think that it will magically make you money
The tool is a tool how you use it up to you. The tool is extremely good at what it does plus the support that backs it up.

About discounts. Sorry we have decided to never offer any kind of discounts.
Because we do not want to first of all hurry up people with buying the tool because of some time limited discount offer.
And any other discount we have also decided against because of the massive amount of time it takes actually to give support to all clients specially they way we do it as you are never left on your own if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Kandor
No idea how anybody can justify spending $3000 on a cloaking script. Just setup a few honeypots and grab the IPs. Look up every IP with ARIN, if it belongs to google CLOAK THAT SHIT. Within a month you will have thousands of IPs to hide your content from. Want to keep away from the prying eyes of google employees? Cloak San Francisco! Cloak wherever their Indian office is! None of this is worth $3000...

Someone point me in the right direction so I can find out more about this program. The details on Fantomaster's site are slim.
