how to use imacros to do backlinks?

The iMacros forum has heaps of examples on how to do what you want. You pretty much record the macro to create one account and then modify the macro to do a loop through a CSV file. It will then retrieve the fields from the CSV and add them to your text fields.

If you want to make a useable bot then I recommend that you look into VBS or similar to integrate with your macros. This will allow for error testing and also make it easier to utilise a captcha breaker.

mm i dont mine about captchas i can fill them manually

but problem is i dont know much about programming

i can follow along the recording but i got a problem on how to implement that CSV loop

That example I gave uses CSV.

CMDLINE !DATASOURCE data.csv 'CSV file name
SET !DATASOURCE_COLUMNS 6 'Number of columsn in the CSV file
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE { { !LOOP } } 'Loops through the CSV
'any code under here is looped
'recall the values of your columns using { { !COLx } } where x is the column number
'New page loaded

oh ok... i will try to figure out im a bit familiar with it.

but i want to be able to edit my profile once i join and confirm email.....instead of looping all sign ups.....any site will just detect me as spam for signing up one after the other....

is there a more complete example showing the email confirmation and edit profile form?

Email confirmation is quite a bit more complicated and works best with another scripting language.

I will give you the code I use to post links in a profile from a CSV file but it isn't an easy task explaining programming to someone new to it. A lot of it is only relevant to the site(s) I am posting on so don't take it too literally. You will need to match up the process with what you have for the site you want to macro.

I no longer use this script as I have tidied it up a lot using VBS.

The process I use is that I record the macro of me editing the profile right from login to adding links to logging out manually. I then save and edit the macro and add in the CSV loop. Each site is different. I use the wildcards (*) for tags that modify slightly between different sites. You need to look at the html source code of the page you want to bot and look for common form names and attributes...as visible text often changes.

oh well

email confirmation is complicated, then i got no choice but to click it manually

but after the confirmation email, you record another macro for the profile edit right?

or its just one macro?

The last macro I posted is for editing the profile. It visits a URL in the csv file, logs into the account using the username and pw in the csv, go to the profile page, edits it, adds the links, saves, logs out.

I run 3 macros. 1 to register, 1 to confirm emails, 1 to add links.

This is the code to login to Google. Just add your email address and password.

This is the code I use to click a confirmation email in GMail (set to basic html mode). I call this from a VBS script so you will need to loop this for the amount of emails you want to confirm. Please note that the search string will change depending on what you are trying to automate.

ok one last question

the process is basically this:

1. run the macro for sign up (one username only and one site only)
2. run the macro for gmail sign in and confirmation email from forum site( the sign in script you posted here, i will need to make a csv loop for username and password for my multiple gmail accounts right? )

3. run the macro for profile editing for one username.

this process i need to repeat it each time for every username i have, then make a new macro for the next forum site i find.

i think this is how i understand it.

Yep,that way will work.

I do it a little different though. I have a huge list of forums so I do a loop through each forum using the same username/password/email rather than making multiple accounts on each forum at a time. The principle is the same though.

I don't make any posts on the forum - I just create the accounts and add a link or 3 to the profile.

I then repeat the process with a new account. (I do make multiple accounts on a forum but not at once like you are wanting to do).

That's it!

To me all that is over complicating the process. Basically I get roboform and use my macro program to automate that. You cut out a ton load of code and possible errors.

Just talking about the process not endorsing wanting to make five accounts for one site.

It is hardly a lot of code and for a programmer it isn't complicated. It also allows for a lot of other options such as recording a direct link to the profile, extracting RSS feed and submitting to the usual services, automatic captcha breaking, interlinking profiles etc.

Programming a basic registration, email confirmation, profile editing macro for a cms system takes me about 30mins. It takes more time scraping the URLs than programming for them.
