Most likely the email went to his spambox. If you explain how it is not working then someone may be able to help you. It is not rocket science.

Also, Carson is away due to family emergency and should be back on the 29th as per the post above.

Hello !!

Just bought the WPsBOX and set up my first campaign as in the instruction video. However I do not see any comments posted (I have used weight loss as niche and keyword). It has been 24 hours since I set the campaign up. What seems to be the problem ??

MikeBarcus

Hi kimmer1,

Did you try running your cron in your browser? Try that and let us know what you find out.

It should look like this: http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/alb/cron.php

hi there i got a problem, and since the owner is away i was hoping anyone can answer my questions...
1) if i set my campaign at full throttle, and with a whole list of keywords (example 10), the max of 200k max link will be shared to those 10 keywords and get a dilution or will it be each keyword with 200k at the max?
2) if i set up multiple campaigns for different sites, how do i differentiate which link is for which campaign through the log? is there a way to sort them out? maybe a hyperlink to the approved backlink shown on the campaign or something would be nice to download the .csv? juz a suggestion though...

if anyone got any answers pls pm me, thanks

Hi, I just tried using the software. Everything seems great except for the auto approved URL list I have uploaded. According to the log, I checked it using the cron link, "No links added using a file found." I uploaded the list of URLs in a text file, I checked the URLs manually and they are working, the URLs are listed on one line each. I tried checking and un-checking the "post comments to wordpress" and trackbacks on the Settings page. Still can't see the AA list of URLs in the log.

Please advise. Thanks.

kimmer1

Thanks for your reply !! I try to use your above link and got the following message from WPsBox "Processing Campaign weight loss diets lose weight

I do not use any files or lists - What seems to be the problem ??

Hey I am back IRENE did not get me.... but I was not dumb enought to sit here and wait for it to git me... I got the h.e..l.l out of Dodge.. back now and will try to help with some of the questions till Carson gets back... can't help much with license problems... but other stuff I may be able to offer suggestions.. I am sure Carson will be back just as soon as he can... as he loves it here..

Jt,
Looks like you got a toughie there.. if still broken and you want it fault isolated forward the access to cpanel, ftp and admin to my email at tommytx at earthlink.net .... and I will ring it out for you... too complicated to try to out guess this... waste of time..

tommytx

For CARSON:
Hey Carson if you still have access to read this thread can you have the developer send me lets say a temp or several temp pass codes to allow somone like Bernard to email me their reciept and I could send them the temp pass for like say 10 days... until you can get back in and confirm for sure.... your call...
Also the reason I say 10 days temp pass is that of course I won't be able to confirm their paypal reciept is genuine... but if it looked good they could run for 10 days...

I don't mind helping out it you like...

Hope to see you back in a few days.... but it would be nice for customers to get going meantime...

Edit: Bernard... did you try direct typing your email and also cut and paste... and does it match exactly the emial... both upper and lower case your paypal email....

tommytx

Based on what you said, I assume you are not using the AA List so it is not unusual to show all the conversation about the lists... basically telling you that you are not using any lists... that is ok... what is not ok.. is following all that junk is should have scraped google or what ever search engine you are using... for 100 urls and should have printed them... it appears that you did not scrape... so no scrape and no aa list you cannot post of course... and it went straight to "Comment Approval checker as it does upon completing of posting... so no posting and no urls to check so nothing is done...

IF you want me to take a look... send the complete url you used to run the manual cron to tommytx at earthlink.net and I will view a manual cron run and offer suggestions... if this does not correct the problem then I will need full access... but not until I make this cursory inspection...
Are you using proxy?
Are you using capture... most times google will not let you scrape without capture... occasionaly you can get by scraping without cap but not very often... as soon as google gets onto your server IP you can no longer scrape without cap and eventually you will not be able to scrape witouth [proxy and cap...

freeman84

Hi, thanks for your explaination.

for the full throttle i mean the max allowed links for each campaign...

warrior0112

When Carson came with with V 3 other than PDF did he come out with instructions on new settings that are recommended? Things such as how many of the search engines you can use together, or in miscellaneous under the setting tab whether to Post Comments to wordpress.com blogs and/or Post trackbacks to blogs (For trackbacks please fill 'comment' box too) ?

Rick

MikeBarcus

Hi donnanavarrete,

I'm having the same problem. I know that somewhere earlier in this thread Carson said there was a limit to the AA list file size.

I tried a list containing only 250 files and it still fails so I guess we'll have to wait for Carson to get back and explain what's happening.

Sorry I couldn't provide an answer for you.

MikeBarcus

I noticed the other day that when I pasted text into my Comments and Trackbacks that wherever the text contains an apostrophe ' the plugin is inserting a lot of backslashes. I edited the text and deleted them but it still keeps inserting them.

Here is an example of one of my trackbacks:
below you’ll find the link to some sites that we think you\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ll enjoy||

I'm still trying to get a copy of V2.0 (my download link is for V3.0) to give it a try.

If anyone has a copy of V2.0 they could give me please PM me.

Hi, yes typing and cut/paste, nothing worked. Would it help if I forward you my PayPal transaction details for this purchase? I can't PM in this forum - don't have 50 posts yet. I tried again today and still get same error message.

donnanavarrete

I had the same problem, too. It's a good thing none of my comments were approved. A total of 2,300 comments posted and zero approved. I tried publishing another test, and this time I made sure to copy paste the spun comment from TBS to notepad before I posted it on the comment box. No more \\\\\\ sign, but still no luck with approved comments (1,350 comments posted and ZERO approved.)

tommytx

When set at 200k max.. means that no matter how many keywords you have the campain total posts will be 200k... and its sorta meaningless since the posting is controlled by the number of keywords and the number of post per keyword... the max is just so you could theoretically set it and forget it... but forget is not a good idea you should for best results monitor on a daily basis to make sure all is well....
But the 200k will shut down that campain when the total posts exceed 200k and has nothing to dio with how many keywords.. in theory if you had 2 keywords in 200k each keyword would get 100k posts... but its not likely on each run the exact number of keywords will be successful on every run.... its not too accurate for the 200k but is in the ballfield....

CAPTCHAbiz

Hey,

Your comments are getting approved however as mentioned before,plugin will only report it once it complete the campaign posting target.

For example if you have set 10,000 comments in "number of comments to post", then plugin will "check" for approval after all the comments has been posted.

Thanks,
Carson

Replying all PM's now and then go to support email.

tommytx

NOPE.. do not forward... as I have no temp or anything to give you ... and guess what I aint' giving you mine... heee...hee.. I was just suggesting in case Carson is monitoring he might consider that a good idea... but can do nothing unless he decides to give me temp authorization emails.... like a 10 day activation or something to get you rolling... just hopefully he will be able to check in soon and take care of those folks.... but sounds like he may have left his country or something..... for an emergency... I know IRENE did not go that far... but we all have emergencies... so lets bear with him.... a few days won't matter much... easy for me to say.. huh! since I am not the one waiting... I know the designer monitors this thread... and Had hoped he might at least handle the new license problems or give me some temp phoney emails addresses that I could issue... and later they could be shut off if something is wrong with the paypal....

donnanavarrete

Carson, great to know you're back!

Yes, the plugin has finished posting both of my test projects and it seems like the cron has finished checking if the comments have been approved or not. I got zero approved comments. My other problem is the plugin is not reading my AA list. I uploaded it as a txt file. The first file contained 250 URLs and the second file 1,000 URLs. Help please.

Thanks!

Hey Tommy,

Glad to hear you managed to live thru the wrath of Irene and are back home safe and sound.

Everything seems to be going smoothly but just wanted a quick reminder about the cron set up. Right now, with the amount of keywords I am using I am getting about 200-250 comments per 12 hour period per site. This is fantastic except for two minor things

1/ still no indication of the number of comments approved (which would be nice but not essential so long as I am assured that they are occurring at around 40 per 150 or so as Carson indicated earlier)

2/ (more importantly but again not a massive problem) - I am having to manually switch things on and off every 12 hours and I would prefer to have cron do that so please remind me what I need to adjust if right now my cron is set to once per hour. If I set it to once per 30 minutes will that give me twice as many or half as many comments per 24 hours. Obviously, if I could get my cron to cause half as many per 24 hours then I wouldn't have to do the switching on and off (so no more daily saving to draft and then publishing on the next round x 7).

Your advice is appreciated as ever.

All the best

Sam

tommytx

Switching from 1 hour to 30 min will double the posts per hour but the overlap may be too close.. if you want to cut the posts in half go to each 2 hours...

samd123

thanks Tommy for your super-fast reply - mathematics was never my strong point!

All the best

Sam

ps so that will read as follows: 0 */2 * * *

tommytx

That is probably best for a 2 hr rest... but you could also keep it at 1 hour and cut the keywords for for example from 4 posts per keyword to 2 posts per keyword.. that would also cut the posts in half...

tommytx

when feeling like the subject line:
Just shoot yourself... just kidding of course...
As most of you know i am helping Carson out during some important stuff he has to take care of, and I should be able to manage most anything.. including licensing problems but not refunds... plus I'm not gonna walk your dog either....

But its really hard to keep reading back thru all these page to make sure you did not miss anyone... so please.. if you think you are being ignored... just look up your post number and send me a reminder at tommytx at earthlink.net....

Make the subject: WSPBOX that way I can tell it not to trash anything with that subject.. use only that one word in the subject in upper case...
In the body be sure to include your user name so I know who you are....

So like this...
Subj: WSPBOX
Body: myusername:#2365
and that way... If I have missed you I will respond... and if its something I cannot take care of I will let you know that.. for example I cannot do refunds... but that is pretty infrequent anyway..

Hi Carson ,

Why my wp$box only posting a few comment ? (only 23 ) after that every cron job running its not posting anything , why ?

fiekyanto

Hi Carson ,

Why my wp$box only post 23 comment ? for the first cron job run and for the second and so on cron job run its not post any comment , why ?

tommytx

Not sure how soon Carson can answer, if you would like I will try to help... by chance did you load the free 37k list that was made available with the package.. sometimes we have had problems with it being too large for you mysql data base and locking up the system...

IF not that give me any details of what you have done so far and I will try to offer suggestions... alos be sure and run the manual cron to see what information it will give for troubleshooting.. if not familiar with running a manual cron visit "Toyland" at http://52payperclick.com/post and view the video on running the manual cron and what the results you should see.. Additionally if you do not know how to set up the manual cron URL there is help there also including a text box that will help you build the manual cron URL.. once you have run the manual cron report results here and myself or one of the other folks may offer suggestions..

Edit: also pls report if you are using proxy and/or decapture...

pchost

Hey Carson,

I already have 968 comments posted and the cron already checked for comments approval after all of those comments posted, but i still got zero comments approved.

Something weird is happening...I went into WPsBox and looked at my campaign and all the data was gone and now when I try to re-enter it the data I entered is not saved when I click the update button? Never happened before...any suggestions?

Rick

tommytx

OF course I am sure you did not add any plugins... as we all know not to do that...

However if you had a lot of data and want it back... then send access to ftp, cpanel, and admin and I will see if its still in your mysql data base... but if not too much stuff then just reenter.... also most of the fail to save problems have required a delete and reload wordpress....

wilsonfamily28

I have been using wpsbox and pg together for a little while and I noticed that when PG does not scrape fast enough (I am not sure if I have a messed up setting in there or what, but every few days, it seems I run too low on proxies) and then all of my proxies are not working, I am wondering is it a bad thing (to my host, google, whoever) that the cron job is continuously trying to run when the proxies are bad, until the new good proxies get put in by PG? Also I am running about 10 campaigns each on 4 different websites. Also if anyone has any good advice for my settings so I can benefit the most out of PG and also WPSBOX that would be great, so that I do not have any down time....

Thanks!
Brenda

tommytx

Recommend contact Ash at PG in regard to improviing the proxy generation to ensure you do not run out... just have him give you an overall looksee.... he is good and helpful at that.

Yes it is very bad to try scraping with bad proxy... as it slows the system down and could piss off google or who ever the search engine is since you are asking for a google url full of 100 urls and you are getting nothing.. so the system continues to slam google until it finds a good proxy and a good capture to get a good scrape... the system is most efficient when it has a good proxy on every click.... also it wastes precious time to have to keep trying to get the good scrape... and what you need is to do a quick scrape a quick bunch of posts and then let the php script rest so others can have a go at it... the longer it takes your cycle to run the more time you are tying up the php script....which ain't nice....

CAPTCHAbiz

Hey Adi,

If plugin won't find the approved post, it will simply show "0". Comment approval is not in the functions of wpsbox, it is simply based on your comment text and the blog owner's wish. The work of plugin ends after posting comment only, then it will keep on checking them, and if found any comment approved, it will report back.

Thanks,
Carson

How exactly do I specify a custom footprint that finds posts that have word1 AND word2 in the title? (the position of word1 and word2 in the title does not matter! e.g. word1 foo bar baz word2 or: foo word2 bar word1 baz)

a.) intitle: "word1 word2"
b.) intitle: "word1, word2"
c.) intitle: "word1" intitle: "word2"
d.) ???

thank you

tommytx

Here is what I use and it works ok... the best think is to just test it in google and see what comes up..

intitle:dog cat

problem is that may or may not bring up blogs so continue adding to the footprint and view it in google till you start to see dog blogs and cat blogs ... and if you are looking for the page with the form to fill in keep trying different things like:

so to further expound...
intitle:dog cat intext:powered by Wordpress intext:Leave a Comment

You gotta think out of the box... try a ton of stuff then test in google then view a bunch of the pages that come up.. are they WP blogs... is it the page you can post on... just keep experimenting on and on till you get something that looks good... then and only then do you plug it in to the poster... and give it a try....

And try again and again... it does not help just to scrape pages its gotta be wp pages and not just wp pages... its gotta be wp pages about dogs and cats and the wp page has to be one you can post on... that is the reason why its important to experiment..

I believe if you simply do intitle:dog cat and make sure wp blogs is checked all the additional stuff will be auto added to allow it to search for wp blogs... when you run a manual cron you will see the final scrape URL printed on the screen.. as soon as you see it and you don't like it ... hit stop on the browser button play some more then try again...

So bottom line try any footprint you like... and see what comes out....

tommytx

For anyone trying to understand all this goggle de gook here is a live example:
Below is what the final google scrape url generated by WSP will look like...

hxxp://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A.com+oklahoma+real+estate%2B+intex t%3A%22powered+by+Wordpress%22+intext%3A%22Leave+a +Comment%22+intext%3A%22Required%22+-%22must+be+logged+in+to+post+a+comment%22+-%22Comments+are+closed%22+-%22Security+Code%22+-%22CAPTCHA%22+-%22spam%22+intitle%3Ahome+townhouse++-filetype%3Apdf+-filetype%3Aswf+-filetype%3Aps+-filetype%3Adwf+-filetype%3Agpx+-filetype%3Ahwp+-filetype%3Axls+-filetype%3Axlsx+-filetype%3Appt+-filetype%3Apptx+-filetype%3Adoc+-filetype%3Adocx+-filetype%3Aodp+-filetype%3Aods+-filetype%3Aodt+-filetype%3Artf+-filetype%3Awri+-filetype%3Asvg+-filetype%3A.txt+-filetype%3A.text+-filetype%3Ahpp+-filetype%3Ajava+-filetype%3Apl+-filetype%3Apy+-filetype%3Awml+-filetype%3Awap+-filetype%3Axml&as_rights=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&start=0&num=100&ct=advanced]site:.com oklahoma real estate+ intext:"powered by Wordpress" intext:"Leave a Comment" intext:"Required" -"must be logged in to post a comment" -"Comments are closed" -"Security Code" -"CAPTCHA" -"spam" intitle:home townhouse -filetype:pdf -filetype:

Line 1 above: q=site%3A.com+oklahoma+real+estate%2B
Notice that my keyword is oklahoma real estate so what ever you keyword is it will still be used...

Line 5 or close to that line number you will see my footprint that I added...
intitle%3Ahome+townhouse++-filetype

I inserted it like so: intitle:home townhouse

What happens now, is the system will look for pages representing Oklahoma Real Estate but will not show them unless the word "home" or "towhouse" is in the title...

Make sense... hope this helps someone understand.... notice it will pull up wordpress blogs since I have ticked it to use WP blogs... and I selected the Google search engine...

If you want to study this.. run manual cron then as soon as it prints the scrape URL you can hit the stop button on the browser then cut and paste the huge url into a text file for study.... you can also paste this url directly into your browser and see what it pulls up and you can then play with modifying the footprint till you get what you are looking for then use that footprint from then on..
Keep in mind that when you add extra footprints like this, you may reduce the number of pages scraped to so few that you may not get any posts... so be sure to run a manual cron to make sure the system can scrape 100 urls on each run.....


To make this crystal clear:

if you want in the title word1 and word2 then use intitle:word1 intitle:word2 (any order)

if you want in the title word1 OR word2 then use intitle:word1 OR word2 (word1 or word2 or both any order)

if you want in the title word1 word2 then use intitle:word1 word2 (both words in order written)

The last guarantees that both words will be in the title for the page to show...



EDIT: For the designer:
Line 5 or close to that line number you will see my footprint that I added...
intitle%3Ahome+townhouse++-filetype
Notice that a double ++ follows the word townhouse... my guess is that should be a single + and may need a program modification to fix it.. it still works but I doubt that you want the double ++ for best results...

I will be emailing all members tonight. I cannot share the URL on WF as it will be against the TOS of the forum.

Purpose of support forum is to "squeeze" this whole WSO post (over 2700 posts) into more manageable form as we have lots of Golden tips shared by our experienced WPsbox users.

Hello !!

I can see from some of the other comments at some people can get WPsBOX to post thousands of comments on different blogs. I have set up 3 campaigns with only 18, 24, 151 comments send and no only 1 approved. How do you get the software to post so many comments ??

CAPTCHAbiz

Hey,

Posting Comment is depended on:

1) Your niche: The broader it is, plugin will find more blog to comment.
2) Proxy status: Make sure you are using Google friendly proxies.
3) Cron Job: 1000's of post in short time on single campaign, is not good. Set your cron according to your requirement of posting.
4) Memory Limit: Best part about hostgator is you can reset memory limit from cpanel by editing php.ini file in user friendly interface. By default its 64m however recommend is atlease 500m.
5) Plugin settings: Make sure to select "number of comments" per campaign to your desired value.

These 4 are main points and whole campaign is depended on them.

Thanks,
Carson
