You recognize and agree that the Author has made no implications, warranties, promises, suggestions, projections, representations or guarantees whatsoever to you about future prospects or earnings, or that

you will earn any money, with respect to your purchase of this eBook, and that the Author has not authorized any such projection, promise, or representation by others.

Any earnings or income statements, or any earnings or income examples, are only estimates of what you might earn. There is no assurance you will do as well as stated in any examples. If you rely upon any

which may be earned (whether such credits are convertible to cash or not).

There is no assurance that any prior successes or past results as to earnings or income (whether monetary or advertising credits, whether convertible to cash or not) will apply, nor can any prior successes be

used, as an indication of your future success or results from any of the information, content, or strategies. Any and all claims or representations as to income or earnings (whether monetary or advertising

credits, whether convertible to cash or not) are not to be considered as "average earnings".

Testimonials & Examples

Testimonials and examples in this eBook are exceptional results, do not reflect the typical purchaser's experience, do not apply to the average person and are not intended to represent or guarantee that anyone

100% Hands Free Submission Most sites require you to enter the text for security images known as CAPTCHA. They are shown to you during account creation, login, or submission process. You will need to enter the answer for these CAPTCHAs in the answer popup screen (1). This takes too much of your time and BookmarkingDemon has VisualAid built into it that allow you to achieve 100% Hands Free Submission. What happens is that the images are handed over to the VisualAid providers. They have real humans entering the text on your behalf. You will need to pay a small fee in order to use these services. You can setup your VisualAid accounts created at the providers by clicking [VisualAid] (2). NOTE:

If you are using manual CAPTCHA input, a doorbell will be played whenever CAPTCHA input is required; you can click the [Speaker] (3) icon to disable the sound alert.

You can also instruct the submitter to skip sites that require CAPTCHA input by ticking (4).

Even though real humans (except CaptchaSniper, which is using software to enter the security answer) are entering the security answer for CAPTCHAs, it is possible that the wrong text is keyed in. You can instruct BookmarkingDemon how many times to retry before giving up submission to a site. To adjust the number of CAPTCHA retries, key in the number in (1). BookmarkingDemon will attempt to reclaim bad images but this might result in your VisualAid accounts getting banned. To prevent your account from getting banned, check “I DO NOT want to reclaim bad images” (2) (recommended). For your convenience, we have provided links to these 3rd party VisualAid providers.

Searching & Setting Default Category This is the screen which you will add the sites that you would like to submit your content to. You can select from the sites that you want to submit to from the list. For sites that require a category, you will need to specify a default category or BookmarkingDemon will randomly pick one for you. Your submission with a wrong category will most likely be rejected by site moderators. BookmarkingDemon provide a quick and easy way to select a default category. For example, you are going to submit bookmarks related to tech, you will want to submit to categories under tech or technology. Enter the categories (comma separated) into the field (1) and click [Set Category] (2).

RSS Feeds One of the main features in the bookmarking task of BookmarkingDemon is RSS camouflage. RSS camouflage allows you to mix URLs retrieved from public websites via RSS feeds into your bookmark submission. This allows your submission to look more natural to bookmarking site owners. As a result it lowers the chance of getting your accounts banned because you have been flagged as a self-promoter. Click the RSS icon from the toolbar to add RSS feeds into your task.

For URLs added for camouflage purposes, they will not have the “tick” on the “Money Site?” column.

Page 96 of 223


Set Camouflage Rules (cont.) In the “Set Rules” screen, you are given the option to tell BookmarkingDemon whether it should randomly pick URLs for bookmarking. This feature will make your submission appear more natural and avoid the chance of getting your accounts banned. To use, check “Enable Randomization” (1). There are two types of randomization, namely:

For each bookmarking site, randomly pick a number of web pages to bookmark (2).

For each web page, randomly pick a number of bookmarking sites to bookmark (3).

Depending on your preferences, you can choose from either option and adjust the values to suit your campaign. If you have RSS feeds added into your task, you can also enable RSS camouflage by checking “Camouflage each web page …” (4) and selecting the number of links retrieved from the feeds for submission. If this option is not enabled, RSS URLs will be treated like normal web pages. Click [OK] to confirm the rules (5).

Some sites ban accounts that are submitting content too fast. BookmarkingDemon allows you to adjust the submission speed (2) in such a way that it will simulate human submission behaviour. It is not recommended to set it to “Bot” as it affects the submissions success rate.

Resetting Retry Limit

Reset Retry Limit Each task has its own retry limit. This is to prevent BookmarkingDemon from attempting to submit the content endlessly. You might wonder why BookmarkingDemon is doing that. One of the reasons are:

Proxy overloaded (if used)

Site is overloaded

Site has made changes to it and the success footprint is not detectable

When a site has reached retry limit, BookmarkingDemon will stop retrying. To instruct BookmarkingDemon to retry again, select the record (1). Click [Reset Retry Limit] (2). If you want to reset retry limits for all items in a task, check “Reset all items that have exceeded retry limits” (3). Click [Yes] to reset (4).

Changing Status to “Completed”

Handling False Negative There will be times that BookmarkingDemon is not able to identify if a submission is successful and flag a submission item as erroneous. This is also known as false negative. Some of the reasons why a false negative occur:

Connection timed out and BookmarkingDemon gets an error page returned instead

Site has made changes to it and the success footprint has changed. When this happen, the footprint that BookmarkingDemon uses to detect a successful submission will not be found and it will be flagged as fail.

When any of the above occurs, you can manually change the status to [Completed]. To change the status, select the record (1). Click [Completed] (2).

Connection timed out and BookmarkingDemon gets an error page returned instead

When the above occurs, you can manually change the status to “Pending Retry”. To change the status, select the record (1). Click [Pending Retry] (2).

What is Web of Trust (WOT)? WOT identifies online threats which automated security technologies miss: Bad customer experience, phishing and age-inappropriate content for children are examples of threats that require human input. The reputation is the estimate of the collective trust for the target in the given component. The higher the value, the more the community trusts the website. The confidence indicates the estimated reliability of the reputation for the {target, application}. Again, the higher the value, the more reliable the system considers the reputation estimate. You can find out more information here.

Scraper

Scraping Search Engine (cont.) Similar to anti-bot, the scraper has a “Google Friendly” mode mechanism added (1). It does not blast the search engine and thus reduces the chance of a temporary ban on your IP address. To minimize the calling of our “Google Friend”, you are advised to use proxy servers when you scrape the search engine. To add proxy servers, click [Proxies] from the toolbar (2). To stop the scraper, click the [Stop] button (3). NOTE:

The proxy server setting is separated from “Global Proxies”.

The more proxy servers you have, the shorter time is required for scraper to complete.

You can only perform 1 search at a time.
