How to maintain 1000s of backlinks a day.

Dedicated server, I use Kimsufi.ie/OVH.ie with great results. Be careful using your home PC, if you're not scared of your ISP's spam complaints if you forget to use proxies.. Fuck'em. You will not get as fast results as a dedicated server will get, though. But everything here is still applicable.
Scrapebox... Because Hrefer is the most useless pile of crap software you'll ever use.
--- Proxies. I use 12 of them, and I get them from anonymous-proxies.net for $2.38/month/each. Never had a problem once.
OpenOffice Calc or Excel... Why throw away 1,000 backlinks per day? Save them.
Xrumer Footprint Files... Unless you want to type them in by hand, which you don't. It took me about an hour to get these all separate and organized for use with Scrapebox. Download here or below.

Let's begin... by begin, I assume you have Scrapebox/Xrumer installed, running correctly and have created your project, including Gmail account.
If anybody finds this useful, I will write a how-to for creating effective profiles, which is extremely important to your campaign, as you'll find that many backlinks (I'd say about 5%) get moderated and deleted. With a good profile, more will stick (from what I've seen so far, I lose less than 1%).

FOR YOUR PROJECT, I RECOMMEND USING SOMETHING THAT YOU DO NOT MIND HAVING A TON OF IRRELEVANT/USELESS BACKLINKS POINTED AT. USE A WEBSITE YOU DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT SIMPLY TO GATHER THE BACKLINKS. ONCE WE'RE FINISHED, WE'LL SORT THEM ALL BY PR AND YOU CAN POINT ONLY THE BEST ONES AT YOUR WEBSITE.

STEP 1... Harvesting Xrumer URLs with Scrapebox.

First, open Scrapebox. Now, there's a few ways that I personally do this.
The first way, and the one I use most often... Is to target all supported platforms (footprint files) of Xrumer for a vague keyword. In the keyword box I will type a very vague keyword (only one!), such as "music, movies, fashion, home, garden, etc." and then click the "M" button. Load the "XRumer FP.txt" footprint file. Start harvesting.

Or, go to Scrape->Wonder Wheel scraper, type in your vague keyword and scrape 300-400 phrases. Now go back to Scrapebox, click the "M" button and load one of the individual footprint files. I prefer "Powered by VBulletin.txt" but admittedly, I have not experimented with many of them.
(This is actually the nice thing about the footprint files, you can go through them and find which ones are most successful and use those platforms individually.. Or copy the contents of your favorite footprint files into one footprint and harvest all your favorites at once.. Scrapebox is fucking genius.)

When you're finished harvesting, or you've collected 200K-300K results, stop harvesting and remove duplicate domains. This should bring the total down to, usually around 25-30K. Do not bother sorting by PR or anything, that will take forever and unless you have a ton of proxies, get your proxies banned for a few minutes.

STEP 2... Posting backlinks in Xrumer.

Now once we've got our SB list narrowed down to 25-30K results (this is not a rock solid number, I've had them be reduced to less than 20K and over 50K, it just depends on the keyword/s used) go ahead and export the URL list as a text file, save it to your X:/xrumer/links folder as "LinksList id###.txt" and fire up Xrumer. The first thing we want to do is remove any blacklisted domains, this will get rid of any URLs that are notorious for submitting spam complaints to your ISP. To update, I use XRChat.info, a great forum dedicated to Xrumer.. There are several threads regarding blacklists. To check our list, we click "Tools->Delete All Links According to Blacklist" and then select the linkslist file we just created (id###.txt).

Now, let's make sure a couple of settings are correct. Open up the Anonymity tab and click "use proxies." Go to "Tools->Speed<-->Success" and set the slider all the way to success, on this window also set the captcha to fully auto.. That shit is annoying and stupid. Click save. Go to "Tools->Advanced Options," tick "regstering only," "editing profile after registration," "do not post without proxy," and anything else you'd like. Make sure these are all ticked, though.

Once that's finished, go ahead and load the linkslist into Xrumer by simply typing in the ### portion of the filename into the ID field of the Links Database tab.
Now, go to the Anonymity tab and click the refresh button.. I get much higher success using public proxies. And I mean 90% higher success (50~ backlinks using 12 private proxies vs. 500~ links using public proxies.)
Now click "start." (note, if Xrumer stops, you stop it, it crashes or your PC restarts, do not click "start" when it's back. Click resume.)

STEP 3... Collecting valid links and organizing.

When Xrumer is finished running through the links list, I usually end up with around 500 profiles. Profiles are our backlinks, so the first thing we do is go download the Scrapebox link checker (http://www.scrapebox.com/free-link-checker) and extract it somewhere. Click the "profiles" button in Xrumer, copy all these addresses and paste them in the link checker's "Your-Backlinks" file. Now, open up "Your-Sites" and type in the URL to the website you blasted these profiles for. Click start and export the "found" entries. You'll notice quite a few are not found, this is no big deal. Usually the forum requires a username/password to view profiles or something. So with each blast, we're actually finding about 250-350 out of 500 that are actual, viable backlinks.

Open "found.txt" and copy all these addresses to your clipboard, import them into Scrapebox and check DOMAIN PR. Once finished, export URL+PR to XLS and use Calc/Excel to sort them by PR. (select a blank cell in column C, highlight all cells [click the corner button to the left of column A and above row 1], data->sort, sort by column B, descending.) I end up with about 10% PR4+, 40% PR1-3 and 50% PR0/NA

STEP 4... Indexing our backlinks with Google.

For this, open up Scrapebox, go to "Addons->Rapid Indexer," if you do not have the Rapid Indexer addon installed, install it and open it. Inside the footprint folder that I provide below, you will find a file called "RAPID INDEXER.txt," load this as your indexing services. I've been through several of those giant lists of indexing services, and these are the ones that A) provide a genuine backlink to your backlink, B) do not die off with high numbers of submissions and C) support complex URLs, like index.php?forum=3245434&user=232343&wtfeverelse.

Now, for our websites... Open the "found.txt" and press "CTRL+H" (replace) in "find what" type in "http://" and leave "replace with" blank, we want to remove this portion. Next go through and remove the "www." and save the file. (note, all we did was replace all instances of http://www. and http:// in front of the URLs)

Back in the Rapid Indexer, load the "found.txt" as your websites and start. This will get your profiles indexed.

All done, do this a few times per day and you get 1,000 backlinks all saved to a database and sorted by PR. Now, for your real website, load the high PR backlinks into a small "LinksList id###.txt" file and run them through Xrumer using your real project file. Backlinks all day long.

If you want the project file let me know.
