Hi guys: I'm ready to buy some software - I have about $1000 to spend. I have VPS here hxxp://httpme.com/vps.php - I pay $125 mo.

I'm thinking about buying the following. But I'm kind of confused and don't want to buy any duplicate software that I don't need. I know all have learning curves - I ready to learn.

XRumer w/Hrefer - I heard it's the best for flat rate but does it allow you to add site or is that really not a huge deal - also is there a better sales page - I can't find what it really does - www.xrumer.co

Magic Submitter - does it do the same thing as Xrumer - I've read mixed reviews - some say its better cause it allows you to add sites, some say its slow. But it has a monthly fee which means I'll never own it! What's your opinion?

Scrapebox - I understand if I get Xrumer/Hrefer I won't need this. But I heard its good to have anyway. But paying for Proxies sounds expensive...Does it do anything that Xrumer/Hrefer doesn't do? What's your opinion?

Bookmarking Demon - Read good for social bookmarking - its 1 time fee thought good to have - but what's your thoughts?

Anything else I should buy?

I already have Keyword Elite, Tweet Adder, Tube Toolbox and The Best Spinner.

THANKS in advance!!!

    First you must buy Scrapebox. That's the most suitable tool for anyone. You forgot Article marketing Robot(AMR), it also a great tool to rank web sites. I also recommend Bookmarking demon to get sites index well.
    For this budget I prefer above 3 tools to do SEO with tools. Don't buy everything, that's a waste. First test these software and see the performance.
    For a VPS you can save a lot with XSserver.Eu
    $35/month is a super save for you

    Thanks

    Thanks! Now I have multiple sites (10) and will continue to have more over time - am I going to have to pay alot for Proxies if I go with Scrapebox instead of XRumer? I also read on here not to use the Blog Post Feature that comes with Scrapebox. Is that true? And if so - what is the alternative for Blog Posting?

      You don't need to pay much for proxies. I use Your Private Proxies for $29.95/month. That's enough to get 10 private proxies to use with 5 different machines. Scrapebox posting function is working fine. You only need top quality auto approve blogs from Wordpress, BlogEngine etc. You need to familiar with footprints of these blogs. Just browse forums, you will find them.

      Thanks

          Why bother spending that much money on techniques which in all honesty are shady to say the least when you could simply pay someone to do the job properly and build for long term results. It shocks me the amount of money is being paid out already on the likes of VP Servers , xrumer , SEnuke x etc when only weeks after the release of SEnuke x there are handfuls of casualties already posting around all the webmaster forums asking why they have been penalised.

          Im not saying that these tools can not be handy if done correctly but giving someone a magic automated tool is like giving someone a loaded gun when when they've had 20 pints of stella :rolleyes:

            Agree with this one!
            If i have $1000 to invest, i would rather choose:
            The Best Spinner
            Article Marketing Robot
            BuildMyRank (monthly sub.)
            UAW(monthly sub.)
            AMA(monthly sub.)
            But that's just my 2 cents
            Anyway, different people have different way of marketing.

            Good luck,

    Does XRumer post to blogs as well? Where is a page that gives all its features because I'm finding 2 - ones in like russian lol, and the other has no real details?

    Also if I have to pay $30 a month for proxies that is $360 year X 2 Years I've spend $720 and that will continue to grow each year as I use the software. If both Scrapebox and Xrumer do the same thing (which tell me if they don't) cost wise it seems XRumer is the cheaper solution in the long run. Right?

    why would you want to spend money on blackhat seo/tools? you're indirectly wasting your money. since you're ready to learn, you could learn to do whitehat seo or have a professional do whitehat seo for you.

    I agree with Blog8491 and respect opinions of these who prefer to do it manually or pay money to SEO Firms to do it for them. BUT that is not what I'm here to ask or debate. My question is to THOSE WHO USE THE SOFTWARE Programs please. Because manual and automated has already been hashed and debated on this forum a millions times. That's not what my question was. My question was which software to purchase. If you don't use software then fine, obviously you won't be able to share input on your experience with it. But respectfully, I would like opinions from those who do choose to use it.

    Well I've decided what to buy for now. I'd love to get XRumer, don't know if true, but someone said you need 2000-3000gb per day which is crazy!! =:9

    So I'm starting off with:

    Scrapebox
    Magic Submitter
    Bookmarking Demon
    Article Market Robot
    Market Samurai
    GFX Video Writer

    Gonna use Hide My A** VPN Pro for Proxies. Haven't decided on Captcha Service yet - leaning toward Decaptcher.

    Gonna dig into to all the ebooks and training videos that I can and hope to save some big bucks when it comes to SEO.

    Down the road when I understand it better I'm gonna get XRumer. I liked the Senuke demo but their monthly fee is not sitting right with me.

      That looks like a pretty solid line up, but that's also a lot of tools to buy at once. Tools are not magic buttons but are just that, tools. Without knowing how to properly use these can cause them to be inefficient are even a complete waste of time.

      Most of the tools you've listed seem to have a flatter learning curve, but BMD is an extremely complex program that requires a lot of time to master and use efficiently. If you have $1000 to spend, then I think you should ask yourself whether you value your time or money more. As you have quite a large budget, perhaps you time is more valuable and you should outsource a lot of the work that can be done cheaply such as bookmarking or profile links.

      Just be sure to factor in your own time and its value. Learn to do everything once to understand how it works, but then decide whether or not it is most cost effective for you to do everything yourself.

      2TB per month is ok with xrummer. But you can get a decent dedicated server with unlimited bandwidth.

      This is a pretty good list...

      Hide My A$$ is good for basic uses but will be over-used for others. However the captcha services you will need are dependant on the software, so in many cases they will choose for you.

      Of these programs:

      Scrapebox
      Magic Submitter
      Bookmarking Demon
      Article Market Robot
      Market Samurai
      GFX Video Writer
      ...I would suggest not buying Market Samurai. Save the money and spend it on hosting, articles, Fiverr, etc. Instead, I like SERP Attacks for free.
      Free SEO Software Download - SerpAttacks

      I also suggest just using the trial of Magic Submitter for now, as there's a lot of other things we can use.

      In addition, I suggest Ubot to do custom stuff. But Ubot isn't as easy as their sales page says. You will need to know HTML and have some basic knowledge of programming logic to really make it work. But it gives you the ability to do some of your own stuff, which gives you some unique strategies.

      Then try some of the free/cheap trial versions of the popular services (like Magic Submitter) and you'll have all the power you'll ever need.

      Nice collection of tools there. So do realize how much work you are in for learning how to use them properly.

      What about content? You can use all those tools, but without some time and really good content........

      I would take a pass on XRumer too. You have enough there, and learning how to use Xrumer the right way takes allot of time as well.

      I'd say that would take the average newcomer about 6 months to properly use all of the tools you are buying.

      2 cents spent ;-)

    Hi Junilerick: Thanks for your advise. But I am not new to this business nor am I looking for a "Magic Button". I'm new to learning all the automated tools but I'm by far new to the internet marketing game. I have been in this business for 12 years - self employed full time successfully for 10 years. I've been a eBay Powerseller and Affiliate Marketing for 12 years. I taught myself everything thing I know - from web design to graphics to video editing to SEO without going to college. So I'm not looking for any "Magic Buttons" here. But I am looking for an EASIER way to automate all these growling task. I know enough SEO to get by but I'm far from a Pro at it - I have tons more to learn!! I know the hard work that needs to go into learning software and learning proper SEO Marketing and I'm willing to put in the time. I spent a month just researching the tools. And probably will spend countless hours learning them by watching videos, tutorials, learning from other pros, etc. It's not that neither my time or money is not valuable - but to grow you need to continually educate yourself instead of being stagnated and satisfied sitting at a stand still with your knowledge. For the tools I purchased, these are the things that I would typically outsource - I'm tired of paying someone thousands of dollars a years when I can "learn" keyword "learn" to do it myself. I love to learn and advance, so I take pride in the fact that I taught myself everything I know and that God has blessed me with the talent to learn as much as my brain desires. So THAT is why I bought the tools because I want to learn how to properly use them so I can empower myself with knowledge and do these task on my own.

    Don't take this wrong but everyone who is looking for tools on this forum I think clearly gets the fact that they are not "Magic Buttons" because its said here enough which is kind of unfair to the people who are not looking for that at all but merely looking to learn new tools just as you and many others did yourself oneday, that's how all of you got to learn the tools to begin with - it wasn't that you were looking for some "Magic" solution. So give us a little credit that we're not just looking for some easy fix when we ask questions about tools. We're just trying to learn just as you once were trying to learn. No one was born knowing SEO or it's tools.

    Let me add...IMO, you're better off spending the $100 you planned on Market Samurai on getting a copy of Window XP and setting up VmWare.

    VMware is a virtual PC you install on your hard drive. It's like having a second self-contained computer.

    Let's take BMD as an example...As you run your automation BMD (meaning YOUR COMPUTER!) may visit 1000's of sites running a script like Scuttle. Since these scripts are Open Source, they are popular and a favorite of hackers. The chances of getting viruses and all sorts of badware are 100% over time if you visit these sites.

    I don't trust anti-viruses. Instead if you run your 4-5-6 auto programs in VMware, if you get a bug you just delete that instance of VMware and make another copy of the original and you're good to go. Plus, your personal data was never in danger, since it isn't installed in your VMware.

    So download VMware player, it's free:
    https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/?p=player

    When you first install it, you'll need to also install an operating system...Most VMware player users seem to prefer Win XP.

    buy windows xp - Google Search


    Don't take chances...Instead get VMware set up from the begining and master it first. Any program you get that visits a lot of sites, run from Vmware. I really wish I knew this when I first started out...

    @Blog8491 - does XSserver.Eu have unlimited bandwidth? If so, I need to revisit that idea.

    @Kurt - Thanks - I'll take your advise and look into some of the others and trials. I do know advanced Html and some general php. I will definately look into the VMWare Player - I have never heard of this method. Godness knows I do not need a virus on my main PC. I do have another PC that I can run all this on - but I prefer to do it on my main one and the VMWare Player sounds like a great idea to avoid viruses and hackers =:0

    Ok so I watched the tutorial on how to install windows XP into VMWare Player. Question is - and maybe this is premature because I haven't yet bought the software to know this - Would I need to install the tools I am buying above into the VMWare Player ie Bookmark Demon, Magic etc. or are they not desktop apps?

      I'm not a VMWare expert by any means...

      But yes, you'll probably want to install/run any "surfing" desktop apps in VMWare, such as BMD, Scrapebox, etc.

      The server side apps are fine to run "normally".

      Once you have VMW installed, then next step is to install all the basic programs you'll need that don't require online registration, like IE, FF and CCLEANER. Set your preferences, basic bookmarks, etc.

      Once you have the basic apps installed in VMW, make a copy of your VMW folder. Install the programs that require registration in this copy.

      If you happen to catch a bug, just delete the copy and make another copy. You'll need to re-register your programs, but it should only be 3-4 and BMD and Scrapebox make this pretty easy. But you know you're safe.

      Even if you get a VPS to run something like Xrummer, you will still need to provied windows security for your VPS and I'll install VMWare on the server and run programs in VMWare.

      These automation tools visit sites 100x faster than we do. I believe that also means we have 100x the risk...

    I would buy scrapebox and AMR and that's it. To be honest, you don;t really need any of the other. Xrumer is an excellent tool, but I'd only use it to send links to my articles that I submitted with AMR. That's it. Also, if you're looking to spend money and have it. Use some link building networks such as:

    1.) Build my rank
    2.) Linx Boss
    3.) Article Ranks
    4.) Ez Article Link

    I pay $29 a month for services, that's it. Learn how to manage your expenses and balance out what you really need, and how fast you'll get a ROI. I've only paid for AMR and scrapebox, and made that money back in half a day.

    Personally I would suggest that you buy the software one piece at a time...that way you can master it. For example once you have Scrapebox it you will go through their tutorials and be all excited about it...but if you keep digging you will really begin to unearth the POWER in it. If you just dabble with 5 tools you will never get to the real power of any of them!

    Kurt - I got the VMWare installed. Thanks.

    And why do people keep talking about how hard these tools are to learn. Were you born knowing how to use them? NO. Anything in life needs to be learned LOL! Nobody came out the womb knowing how to use SEO Tools LOL, yet you learned it. If you are smart and a fast learner, I seriously doubt it would take 6 months - as a matter of fact, I've talked to SEO Gurus who made comments that they don't understand why people say these tools are so hard to learn or that they even take 6 months to learn. Maybe if your a slow learner it would take 6 months LOL! But with dedication and serious time put into the learning effort daily - I can't see it taking 6 months. I taught myself web design and Adobe Photoshop in a few weeks - it didn't take me 6 months LOL! Granted this is different, but I think you see my point. Just my 2 cents

      Man, I really like your post. Especially one that I marked Bold. It's one of the attitude that most people are lacking of. Most People just don't believe in themselves. I'm a big believer in "If you believe you can, You Can".

      Right now I'm still not in the position of buying all the tools you mentioned. But then, I'll be there. Just have to keep on learning and doing things at once.

    BMD might be not BAD, Xrumer you must be character and learn to post. Scrapebox is essential for scraping search engines.

      is it very difficult to learn xrumer? Currently I work with Scrapebox, AMR, BMD and Senukex. Sometimes I will buy xrumer and a dedicated server.

      Xrumer is hard to learn properly and you must contribute time to it. Hrefer is neat utility. You will need good bulletproof server if you are not going to work over proxies (which is slow), personally im using XSServer and im happy with them, because they have perfect uptime and they wont suspend you. just perfect. Windows incluided in price.

      Then i recommend you scrapebox, its usefull for targeted blog commenting.

      Bookmarking SW like Bookmarking demon can be good.

    I would get one article posting software (I kind of like Article Demon over AMR, but they're basically the same), Scrapebox (since it's so versatile), and a BMR membership for 6 months or so. That leaves you with about $400 or so left over, which you spend on Private Proxies for SB, and hiring freelance writers for BMR/Article software.

    I would recommend you stay away from xrumer. It sounds like you are just getting started in the automation game and xrumer has a very steep learning curve. You'll get very frustrated just trying to get it to work, and will most likely give up. There are many good xrumer service providers out there.

    I would spend the money on Scrapebox and some private proxies for sure. You might consider a service for xrumer such as DripFeedBlasts as Guerilla and his crew are very willing to help you out and the user interface is very nice.

    An article spinning software might be a good investment for you as well.

      I've been at this for several months now(barely going out anymore, just studying and trying things out

      1) AMR(87 one time fee) - this takes care of article submissions.
      2) Scrapebox(50 bucks one time fee and trust me, you need it no matter what you do) - I don't use it for blog commenting as it doesn't handle captchas and a lot of comments won't take for that reason, but for scraping anything, checking indexed links, checking sites are pointing to yours, etc it's amazing(install the addons, they are free).
      3) Sick Submitter(20 a month) - This will take care of your forum profiles, a heckload of pligg and other bookmarking sites and your blog comments as it does handle captchas.
      4) Magic Submitter(67 a month) - Takes care of your web 2.0 sites(I'd rather pay 67 bucks a month vs. 147, they do the same thing no need in arguing with others.) Magic also does high profile bookmark and article sites, you don't really need BMD if you have a Magic subscription so you can save the 150 one time fee. If you can't afford Magic or Senuke then yeah, get BMD for sure.
      5) Proxy Multiply - Everyday you use PM to harvest new proxies(thousands) and then use Scrapebox to check the good ones. After an hour you'll have hundreds of proxies, and the program is like 20 bucks!
      6) Backlinking all these links is essential, so Backlinks Energizer, Linklicious, Backlinks Indexer; take your pick but research what each one does and fit it to your needs.
      7) Get a computer you are not using and install windows on the machine, you will not want to use all this software on your laptop but you don't need a VPS unless you are doing some major work or need most of your SEO tasks to be handled by someone else.

      The key to all of this is start out slow. I first started with Scrapebox, then got Sick Submitter, then AMR and the latest has been Magic. I don't intend on even diving into xrumer at the moment, to many things to work on so outsourcing a 10k blast is a better use of my time.

          Hi, you can get it at www dot scrapebox dot com/bhw

          It's actually $57. However, I'm currently needing some cash and plan to sell my scrapebox's license for $50. Just PM me if you're interested in it. I know it's a loss for me, but I need some cash to boost my sites.

          Thx,

    If I had to start over I would not buy any backlinking tools. There are so many services that offer any kind of link building you need. And all of them can do it more efficiently and affordable than you doing it yourself. For any task you need done, let the people that do it for a living tackle it.

    Would you pay someone $30HR to do linkbuilding. For $30hr you can pay 10 decent VA's to do linkbuilding. 10 hours of work vs your 1 hour. Even if they do it wrong twice they'd still have 6 more hours of work done than you. By spending the time to linkbuild yourself you've just hired an over paid linkbuilder.

    One thing I finally realized is that I need to create a good business strategy and implement a process to achieve the goals of that strategy. Then manage it so that everything is carried out as planned, evaluate what works and what doesn't, and make necessary changes.

    For someone thats been in the business for as long as you, you should have stopped being a one man show a long time ago. Do you think Bill Gates knows how to login to his accounting system and pay a bill. Of course not. Thats what he pays the accounts payable person to do. I think you need start managing and monitoring and stop doing.

    this is some great tool there me I use
    -AMR (It's the best for articles submission)
    -DBM (Love it because I can add more social bookmarking)
    -ScrapeBox good to now the state of your backlink and scrape site
    If you know how to make the use of those three it can be all that you will need.

    Buy a VPS with all those tools already installed (you can find some for just $70/month), which includes Xrumer, Scrapebox, TBS, Magic Submitter, AMR, bookmarking demon and more.

    $1000 would be enough for more than 1 year of VPS with all the necessary tools, and if you do things correctly and make more money (more than the investment), you can then buy the licence of the tools (if you want).

    @Clerk - I own Xrumer now - but why would anyone rent it @ $50 a month unless they only wanted to use it on a short term basis. In 11 months - you would have paid for it. However with your server - you will never be done paying for it.

      No need to think about it. Even if you never use it to comment it's well worth the cost for the sheer amount of things it can do. I consider it the Swiss Army Knife of IM tools. If you don't have it, you're missing out.

    Sort of in the same boat, $1000 to spend, around $2000 at most. Need to do SEO for 12 sites, been really careful buying things though. Considering it an investment and there's too many people out there selling services they hurt your site or go away in a few months and you're back to the start..
