XsitePro Black Hat

To join the suck-up competition for useful posts, here's one I baked earlier.
I was one of the earliest users of XsitePro and the first to use it as a spam site generator, although that potential is obviously built into it.

XSite Pro is an amazing site builder/generator. It is so simple to use that a total beginner can be making sites in less than an hour, yet it is designed for marketing professionals. I can't begin to do it justice but here are just some of the features:

(1) Built in SEO advice for every page. I rebuilt a small site with XSite Pro and it went from 100 visitors a month to 5000 visitors the next month.
(2) Click anywhere on the WYSIWYG page to include adsense blocks of any color or shape (it remembers your number) or ANY snippet of code such as RSS feeds, counter code, flash etc.
(3) It remembers all your affiliate links so you can reuse them. It will use a cloaked redirect for affiliate links.
(4) Popup or fly in windows if you really want to use them.
(5) Great WYSIWYG editor but you still have full access to code.
(6) FTP's your site to the server and will only upload changed pages next time.
(7) Designed for "projects" which can be clusters of similar linked minisites.
(Cool It creates a sitemap and an optional Google sitemap

Black Hat Uses
XSite pro can be used as a site generator: Pick a page to be a landing page, import a keyword list and bang, 100 or 1000 new keyword pages "hidden behind" the original. These will show on the sitemap but not on the navigation bar. (Tip: Then hide the sitemap. I put a link to the sitemap on each page footer but it is only a grey on white "." Your site will look perfectly white hat)
Visitors coming in by those pages will think they have arrived at a normal website.

Each generated page can be unique by using tokens. Ie:
The following tokenized sentence
Welcome to the {%WEBSITETITLE%}. Here you will find lots of information on {%WEBSITEKEYWORDS1%}, {%WEBSITEKEYWORDS2%} and {%WEBSITEKEYWORDS3%}.
would be displayed as
Welcome to the Holidays in Europe. Here you will find lots of information on European Holidays, Vacations in Europe and Holidays in France.

You can tokanize both the pages themselves and the meta description by this method. By using an outside program like RSS content builder you can have random amounts of random content automatically added to every keyword page.

But wait, there's more...
XSite Pro can take a huge file (like a book) and automatically break it up into many pages with "previous page/next page" navigation and adsense blocks on every page.

And more yet...
Download a truckload of articles from (say) contentdesk.com XSite Pro can import them all at once and create an article library with navigation and yes, adsense on every article page.

To sum up, this is a program that can make a generated BH site so cleverly that it will actually be a WH site!

I'll spell out what to do to make a huge "grey hat" site in an hour or two. Grin

First, forget the idea of "templates". XSitePro makes a fixed width page with either 1, 2 or 3 columns. Take your choice.
If you want a pretty header or footer graphic, just make one the right width and snap it into place with one click.
If you want quick and dirty, just make the header area (say) yellow and put writing on it.
You can make the column backgrounds different colors if you want or have a background image.

Now, make a few normal pages. Home, Articles, Special Offers, About Us, Links. Whatever you like. You want the site to look perfectly white and it will be. Stick in a few pictures. Hang some pretty curtains.

Articles: Download a truckload of articles on the subject you have chosen. (Tip: If you download them in html then the links back to the author's site will be live. If you get them as text, then they won't)

Make a page called "Articles". Write some blurb at the top and snap in the code snippet that will make a bulleted list of all the articles using the first 200 or so characters as an introduction.

Now go to the Import Pages Wizard. Mark "show on sitemap" but not on navigation bar. You can choose to add html or code at the top, bottom and or middle of all generated pages. I used this to add an adsense block top and bottom and a Affiliate Sensor block (with pictures) in the middle.

Navigate to the folder where you have saved your articles and whack. You now have a bunch of articles with navigation and ads and a table of contents. Neat eh?

How about a whole book? Download a non-copyright book from somewhere. Make a page and call it whatever you want.
Import the book to the page and tell XSite Pro to break it into pages. How many? How long is the book?
You now have hundreds of pages all with previous/next navigation and lots of lovely content.
I haven't been able to put adsense on those pages automatically, but never mind. You can just put an adsense tower in the right hand page column.

At this point you could have a freakin' humongous site with 100 articles and a 600 page book. Wink And its all white hat.

Keywords Now here is where we start to get black.
Pick a page (or several if you want) to be "landing pages" Write what you want on it and stick in an adsense block.
Go back to the import wizard.
Copy what you have written on your original page and paste it into the "template" for the new pages.
Use tokens to make the meta description different for each page.
Use tokens to make the blurb on the page different each time
Perhaps add an RSS feed at the bottom of the template page. RSS Content Builder can make it so each page will have a random number of newsfeeds. (More lovely content)
Import your keyword list and shazam! 1000 keyword pages.

But here is the kicker... They are all the SAME page as far as the site visitor can tell. He thinks he has arrived at a perfectly normal site. (Make the pages show on the site map but not the navigation bar)

Ok, so you now have a site with 100 articles, a 600 page book and 1000 keyword pages. Good for you!
One last tip. That sucker will take forever to upload! Publish it locally, zip it and upload it in one hit.

Eat your heart out James Martell. (By the way, if you have read this then you have to pay me $200 Grin I want to be a rich guru too.)

Oh, speaking of James Martell, XSite Pro has a feature called "projects" so you can quickly whip up clusters of interconnected sites.
But what chubby boy takes weeks and months to hand craft you can do in hours or days.
Snap affiliate links all over your sites, get backlinks from your dozens of blogs and try your hand at guestbook spamming.

 

Whoa!!! Good post! Rep added. I would just like to point out that noobs should take note of the strategy here. Add some link building and you should be in the money.

 

Thanks for a great post!

 

didint you head about xsite good program but too much people use it

 

This sounds like one hell of a program. Where can one go to get it?

 

What competition???

Anyway, for a moment after reading the title, i thought that this is going to be shared here. I have also heard some good things about it, and i want to put my hands on it, just to try it out of curiosity. I have not had any luck finding it so far, but i did not bother too much.

 

Thank you for this great share!

 

great post,I have xsite pro but have not used it to this level... but what I have used it for,it is one of the best programs out there that I have bought

Thanks again...

 

This is a great sales pitch, even if its not. I'm guessing its not going to be posted for download. I might have to buy it, have you all found that getting money back for a shoddy product really hassle free? What I mean is, who controls the refunds, is it the merchant or the credit card processor?

Oh, and happy holiday to anyone it applies to.

 

Thanks for the great post. I own XSitePro but have never used it to this level. I think I will dust it off and check into it again.

 

I just checked it out. Its perfect for what Im doing. Thanks. I used dreamweaver. Its amazing how simple it is.

 

The real question is who has it available for download??

 

Wombat
This is indeed a great post. I do have a couple of questions.
Do you know if Paul has released version 2 of XsitePro? and can you please give us a quick tutorial of how one can build PPC optimized (Keyword optimized) landing pages using XsitePro.

Basically having the ability to have a quick and dirty SILO structured 5 to 10 page site with multiple Keyword pages to use for landing pages for Adwords purposes. I think this is one of the most powerful and not talked about hidden features of XsitePro.

It is capable of doing the work of 3 tools in one simple interface!

For those in the MFA business model, I also had seen a video of some blackhat site building techniques about a year ago.

Thanks again Wombat for a great tutorial

 

I think i have it somewhere. ill try to upload it tonite

 

That was inspiring...I think i will reinstall it and try some of the things mentioned

 

emule does

 

oh and thank you tons for this. gota spread some reputation before giving to you again though :]

 

I think there was a post about that. Just search xsite pro. I'm sure torrent sites will have it to.
