[FREE] My Forums PR Bot for my 500th Post!

I'm getting an error. "It says run-time error 9 subscript out of range" I followed the directions, not sure why it's not working.

This typically happens when the URL you paste in is not the correct URL. It has to look something like this ...

Code:
http://forumyouarescraping.com/member.php?u=99999

If it doesn't look like that, it won't work.

I didn't make a mistake. I was logged in correctly (checked the keep me logged in box)

Play around with it a little more you might be able to get it working. I'm only a expert in PHP, I wrote that thing in VB6 and I'm self-taught ... I wouldn't know how to debug it for every instance of i.e. under every operating system ... for the most part it works for me and most other people.

If it absolutely doesn't work, maybe you have some mystery setting checked in i.e. that doesn't save sessions or allow them between different browsers. Otherwise, try doing this ...

1) close bot, open i.e.
2) log into forum with i.e., double check that "keep me logged in is checked"
3) verify you are logged in by visiting one or two profiles to see your name injected on the last-10-visitors plugin
4) open another i.e. browser by clicking start menu > programs > i.e.
5) on the completely new browser, navigate to a different profile

Now, if that 2nd i.e. instance is able to be considered "logged in" when it visits a profile directly ... then the bot should. If that 2nd browser is not considered "logged in", then the bot won't either.
 
For those having trouble getting this to work, make sure you disable Norton or other virus protection/firewalls. Norton was blocking the bot and deleting the download when I clicked "surf".
 
I"m having the same trouble. I make sure it's IE, everything is right, but when I go on a different browser (firefox) to check the profile, it's not logging it as my username and no visits are registered. let me check in Chrome

Edit. I just checked on Chrome and the same problems. I've been tinkering with IE settings but still no go. I'll figure it out; it'll just take some time. ;)

I did find a fix for this IE quirk that me and someone else on here had, though I'm not sure exactly what I did since I did quite a bit of tinkering :) Nearest I can tell it had to do with cookie error handling. Wish I could be more specific.
 
I'm a noob at forum pr and stuff.. how does this link to your site? Like what steps do you do?

You link to your site like you would any other forum profile, either in your signature or in the field where they allow you to paste your domain name.

Beyond that, this bot makes your forum profile high PR, by getting your forum profile backlinks. The only link to your site is a typical forum profile backlink that you manually create.
 
ah I see.. so you make an account for each forum then have your link in the profile.. and use this tool to view people's profiles and get higher pr for the site am I correct?
edit: also you can put more than one site in your thing? like for example 5-10.. whats the limit?
 
Okay I asked 2 questions about it... 1st question should be allowed... the 2nd was a spoon feed. Pre-chewing? I think you're overreacting now.
 
I saw you've already tried to drop a link in your profile here on BHW and had it removed (Signature violation), so I know you already know how to do it.

The successful guys have already taken this concept and added their own clever twists, hired out their own bot makers and are running with this -- they'll have some great success come next Google PR update.

Others can't be bothered to log into a forum to see how many links they can post. I try to be one of the most helpful guys here on the forum, but I'm not here nor have much sympathy for the lazy.

If you want the bot for 5 URL's open it 5 in instances!
as simple as that!

lol so I'm automatically lazy? I have no problem making forum profiles and logging into them. chill out.... just because I had one sig violation doesn't mean you could judge me.

Thanks anyways for the software.
 
Once again, truly amazing!
Your an awesome contributor & this was an very creative idea!

This is "Think outside the box" in practise.
 
First of all, wanted to say thanks for this... been having a lot of fun with it.

Has anyone noticed that there are some forums this will not work at all on? Zips through the profiles very quickly, and nothing is done? And sometimes on forums where it is working, I'll do a range and it's not successful at any of them and I have to spot what's going on and redo the range? I know I must be doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what.
 
buddy I am a bit confused got some dumb questions about the bot would you Like to tell me:
as you said have to be Logged in on explorer does it mean I have to be logged in on that
forum all time while the bot is running ??Or just one time after loading bot with my profile URL can I logged out then??
when I am logged out I cant see my name on others profile that recently surfed by bot?
 
as you said have to be Logged in on explorer does it mean I have to be logged in on that forum all time while the bot is running ??

The purpose of firing up internet explorer and logging into the forum is so that a session is created. They affect multiple browsers. For instance, if you logged into BHW with internet explorer and then fired up a 2nd instance of internet explorer, that instance would also be logged in to BHW.

The bot works the same way ... there is an internet explorer browser embedded in the program. Therefore, logging in with i.e. transfers the "logged in" state to the browser inside the bot. Once you have confirmed that the bot is logged in, and the links are sticking ... it is ok to close the internet explorer window and you should still be logged in.

What I like to do is keep chrome or firefox running and at 10k or 20k intervals I check to see whether the bot still has a session going (if the session expires then it simply loads pages without actually injecting your link).

But to answer your question ... log in with i.e., get bot going, if bot is injecting links properly you can close i.e.
 
And sometimes on forums where it is working, I'll do a range and it's not successful at any of them and I have to spot what's going on and redo the range? I know I must be doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what.

It can be tricky. i.e. will drop session sometimes even when things were set up properly. Keep an eye on it every 10k pageloads or so. I typically will verify it is working properly (via firefox or chrome) and let it run a while, check it once an hour or so to make certain it is still injecting properly.
 
I thought I had an upgrade to this trick.

Hint: Look at the "thanked"-bottom ;)

But I looked a few boards & they all have the link as nofollow.
 
Really the whole concept doesn't rely around forums and the 10 last visited plugin ... the concept is how easy it is to look at any web2.0, forum or social site and manipulate a link pointing in the direction of your money site, be it directly, 1st tier, 2nd tier, etc.

I showed an example earlier in the thread of Squidoo, where a simple thoughtless comment can get you an instant backlink on many PR4+ pages. That would be a scrapebox comment blaster's dream come true ... except that all the links are 1 or 2 tiers away instead of direct (yet it still has incredible value).

There are many ways of injecting links to your profile via forums. You can simply "thank" someone's post and your thanks gives your profile a backlink on some installations of vbulletin (this works great for vbulletin sites that don't have the last 10 viewed widget installed or activated). Though yes, it is a nofollow link. There are also forums that show everyone on the homepage that have their birthday ... someone posted a great idea about constantly changing your birthday to show up on that list (that's a great idea too). Some show current logged in members, as such pinging that list often will get you a forum homepage backlink, of course some are d0follow, some are nofollow.

The concept is to take a forum, web2.0 or social site and evaluate all these different methods of farming PR through the injection of your profile link on other people's pages to your profile ... where your profile links back to your money site.

Sites are trying very hard to go social. The way they prove they are social is to inject people's names in a page to prove they saw the page. It makes everyone feel cozy and fuzzy butterflies to see other people visiting their pages, and this thread is all about how to take that mechanism and milk it for PR.
