General Information about AutoPligg

Autopligg is a professional linkbuilding solution by Syndk8. With AutoPligg you are the proud owner of one of the industry leading tools to date. Because the internet is always changing, AutoPligg is getting regular updates and you can read about them in the "Welcome Center". If a new Version is available, we highly recommend to update your copy. In Autopligg some things are always working the same way. - Green Output means: It worked - Red Output means: AutoPligg was unable to complete the operation - Using more Threads results in less success if you don't have a fast internet connection -In almost every input field there is Spinner support. A few examples: This is an example comment. The spinner replaces the old comment tag. Just use it like {Hello|Hi|Hey} {stranger|friend|buddy} {what's up|what's going on} -> this would result in: This is an example comment. The spinner replaces the old comment tag. Just use it like Hello friend what's up This is an example comment. The spinner replaces the old comment tag. Just use it like Hey buddy what's up

Import Directories
What is this?
The internet is in constant change. Every day some Pligg Sites disappear and new ones get installed and indexed by google. With the "Import Directories" function of AutoPligg you can add new Lists of Pligg Sites to AutoPligg. To get new Lists, you can use a URL Harvester like SerpScraper ( http://www.serpscraper.com ) The recommended Method for adding directories is the "Import Targets via Textfield" method.

AutoPligg Manual - 7

Import Directories Methods

You can Add Directories in 3 different ways - Import a XML Directoriesfils (a XML list of previously exported Pligg Directories from AutoPligg) - Import a TextFile (a list of Pligg Sites with a Pligg Site on each line stored in a .txt file) - Import via Textfield (you paste your liste of PligSites directly into a field in AutoPligg)

AutoPligg Manual - 17

What is a Captcha a CaptchaService and how do i use them?

"A CAPTCHA or Captcha is a type of challenge-response test used in computing as an attempt to ensure that the response is not generated by a computer. The process usually involves one computer (a server) asking a user to complete a simple test which the computer is able to generate and grade. Because other computers are supposedly unable to solve the CAPTCHA, any user entering a correct solution is presumed to be human. Thus, it is sometimes described as a reverse Turing test, because it is administered by a machine and targeted to a human, in contrast to the standard Turing test that is typically administered by a human and targeted to a machine. A common type of CAPTCHA requires the user to type letters or digits from a distorted image that appears on the screen." -wikipedia

This might sound a bit complicated, but we all know the pictures you need to read and type in when you register on some websites.

AutoPligg Manual - 18

Captcha Examples

Most of the Pligg directories have captchas in them, at the register process or even at a later point. Some of the simpler captcha types can be solved by AutoPligg, but there are Captchas like ReCaptcha that currently can't be solved good enough by machine code so either set AutoPligg to "Manual Mode" and type in all the Captchas by yourself, or you can use a CaptchaService which is a company that solves the captchas for you by paying them a small fee.

AutoPligg Manual - 19

Using Manual Mode Captcha Solving - you pay with your time

In the captcha dropdownbox on the top of the app, simply select "Manual Solving" and that's it. If you use manual mode, you should NEVER use more than 2 threads at the same time. We highly encourage you to use a captcha solving service like Decaptcher.

Using a Captcha Service

1) Click on the Captcha Settings button

Container Management
About Containers

Account Containers/Labels are collections of Registered accounts. Let's say you have 2000 targets in your AutoPligg copy - you can now create a new laben and register accounts for those 2000 targets and use that label for making certain types of posts (For example one label for adult posts, one label for car insurance, ..). This will more likely keep the spam flag low on the
AutoPligg Manual - 24

sites you are posting to. So let's say you have 3 labels and 2000 targets. This means you can register a total of 6000 user accounts with 3 different accounts on each target. In case you still don't know what this all is about, you most likely don't need it and you just can use one label. BUT don't skip the "Check Accounts" and "Register Accounts" chapters below!

Add/Delete a new Label

1) Click on "Account Containers" 2) Click on "Container Management"

Internetconnections 8) If you have already registered accounts with this label, you can resume the registration (Skip the targets you already have used in this label) by checking "Resume Registration" 9) Check "Only use directories with PR >" if you want to register only directories with a Google Pagerank higher as a certain rank (select that rank on the right after checking the box). This feature requires that the pagerank has been looked up in the import process. Only use this feature if you really know what you are doing. 10) You can check "lookup + save pagerank" to store the pagerank along with the registration - this is optional 11) To start the registration click on "Register Accounts"

E-Mail Setup
The Email Setup might be a bit confusing, but with the following description you will understand it. As soon as you have added at least one email account to your AutoPligg configuration, AutoPligg will start using them.

Configuring a new Account

- Like it has been described in the last Chapter, goto the "Config" tab - Click "Setup Accounts"

AutoPligg Manual - 46

1) Click "Add Accounts" 2) Type in your Accountdata as described below: ======================================================================== GMAIL: If you are using gmail, you first have to make sure that IMAP is activated on your account. To check this, login into your gmail account and go to Settings -> Enable IMAP After that the syntax you need is the following: myemail@gmail.com:myusername:mypassword:gmail.com

Other Servers: Let's say this is your imap data - if you don't have an imap server, it will not work! Host: imap.myhost.com Username: myusername Password: mypassword Email Address: myemailaddress@myhost.com Port: 443 Your AutoPligg Add Account Syntax would be: myemailaddress@myhost.com:myusername:mypassword:imap.myhost.com If this doesn't work, you most likely have to use a different port like for example 443. In this case, the syntax would be: myemailaddress@myhost.com:myusername:mypassword:imap.myhost.com:443

If you have setup a catchall address for your email host use the following syntax: *@myhost.com:myusername:mypassword:imap.myhost.com ..and with custom port: *@myhost.com:myusername:mypassword:imap.myhost.com:443
