SLICK BOTS! SLICK MARKETING!
Bots are great! They automate a great portion of your work on myspace. From creating new accounts to sending friends requests. Running several bots on more then one computer simultaneously further enhances your results and produces even faster results.
Which are the best bots? Well for adding friends, Adder Robot the winsock version is by far the best. Unfortunately you can no longer buy this, and it is not supported any more, however I found a old buy now link that still works and I suggest you grab a copy before they discover this link. It still works! You will get your copy! Click Here!
There is also a new bot called Evil Adder that will be coming soon which is also a winsock version. Winsock is the way to go! It's faster, can run more accounts simultaneously and just all around faster then browser version. I will let you know when evil adder is available!
For sending out timed bulletins and comments any browser version bot will work. I recommend Friend Blaster Pro! See our ad for it on side panel! Can't miss it!
In my previous post I discussed a very basic simple approach. In this post I will discuss a more advanced approach!
Previously we were introduced with a very basic workflow that can produce results but not the best results. Here we will look at a more targeted approach that produces even better results!
The first step is to create a custom targeted user ID list. This can be achieved the slow way thru the search function most browser bots offer that limit the results to only 3000. If you are going to be promoted products or services that target men, you should filter your results for men only, 18 to 65, any status will do. Doing it this way will take longer as you must run several searches to compile a list of any worthy numbers. Ideally you want a list of 50,ooo, not 3000.
Another way to achieve this faster is to just grab 50,000 random ids from adderobot, convert the text file from AR format to plain format that only shows the id's with a special utility not commercially available. Then use the program called Friends Manager that cleans and filters lists to any values you select and out puts the new list. Simply import your random list of 50,000 ids, filter only males and out put your new list ready to import in your bots. You could also filter other values like how many friends they must have, region, income, and other things too. But for our use, we only care to make a list of males 18-65. You repeat this process as needed until you have a new clean list of 50,000 males 18-65. Repeat as needed for as many bots as you plan on using.
This new cleaner more targeted list will produce the greatest results for targeting males 18-65. It will not include any errors, or dead id's. Your bots will now work more efficiently and you will see much better results.
Of course not every one will have access to special utilities to convert lists, you can still achieve the same thing, it will just take longer. The results are worth it.
There is rumor of a new underground ebook coming out soon, and if it does become available I will post about it. It will supposedly include some free utilities, and out line all of the underground marketing methods! Even if it does not appear to the general public, keep reading this blog!

MySpace Bot Tips #2 |

Myspace Bot Tips |
HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF BOTS!
Here are some basic bot tips for you. Create 25 new accounts and then proceed to keep adding friends to each until you have no less then 100 friends on each account.
During this period do NOT send out any comments!
Once you have 100 friends each, you will then have around 2500 friends total for 25 accounts! Now you can send out comments!
Click On Title to read the whole post!
The idea here is to build your ms accounts in groups or clusters of 25 each. The proceedure is simple. Your first goal is to reach 100 friends per account. During that period you will not be sending any comments at all. After you reach that level you begin to send comments for all the accounts in this cluster.
When you reach your goal on one cluster, you create a new cluster! Repeat as often as you dare!
You will need a cracked version of a myspace account creator, or manually create 25 accounts.
You will need two main bots, one dedicated just for adding friends, and one for sending comments out.
Suggestions
Split your accounts over various proxies, and different catchall domains. Don't put all your eggs in one basket!
It should not take more then 3 to 5 days to reach 100 friends for each account if you use dedicated bots for adding.
Use redirect urls from redirect services or programs. If using server based redirect tracking programs, install them on different domains, do not use the same redirect domain.

Evil Adder |
New Bot EvilAdder Coming Soon!
A new bot will be hitting the web soon called Evil Adder. It will be built around the same basic design as adderrobot, and will be a winsock. Some new additions or enhancements may be present. Not much is really known about it at this time accept that it will be from a new owner in some undisclosed country.
There is much anticipation for eviladder. After adderrobot shut down and ceased to further support AR, many people were scrambling to find a adequate replacement for AR which is considered by many as the best bot currently on the market!
More news will follow as I get it.

Hi5 Bots and Marketing |
Hi5 is another web 2.0 social site on the line of myspace. It's no where near as populated as myspace is, but is growing rather fast. There are some differences. You can not add as many friends as quickly on hi5, and there are precautions in place to disrupt your attempts to get too many friends too fast. If you try to get over 200 friends in one day, you will get a blank white page logging in to your account. The blank page will be present after that on every hi5 page until you clear your cache and cookies, but you still will not be able to see your account for a few hours!
Other differences are the ads are more daring on hi5. I saw a hi5 ad that showed two hot girls tongue kissing! It was just a head and shoulder video ad, but it was way beyond what you would see on myspace!
Click on title to read whole story!
Hi5 Bots
I was able to find three hi5 bots. One cost $110, another one at hi5adder.com seems to be off line right now. The last one was called hi5robot and cost $19.99. You can try it for 5 minutes before you buy. But can only send out 50 requests. That is the one I am using for now.
Hi5robot is a pretty easy and simple bot to use. You can not save multiple accounts, but you can use it for as many accounts as you want. You can even run mutliple bots at the same time. You just need to log in to each hi5 account. You must then log off or exit before you can switch to another account. You can add friends, send out Hi5's, and messages with this bot.
Hi5 Marketing
I'm not sure how good marketing on hi5 will be, I only just started, and am trying to build up friends on each. After 3 days, I'm up to an average of 25 friends. I only request 100 each day. This is not very good. I can get 25 friends in a matter of minutes on myspace by requesting 350. I can literally watch my friends list grow as I am using such programs as Adderrobot and Easy Adder on myspace.
There are some cool features on hi5, and some annoying things too. If your looking for a new market to try, hi5 and a $20 bot gets you in the game. Just don't expect it to be as easy as myspace, at least not yet.

The Great MySpace Hoax? |
The Great MySpace Hoax?
As I reported on Army of Blogs, "MySpace Fights Back!" some of the more popular myspace bots having been falling like flies recently. In just a few days we lost Space Station, Badder Adder, and Adder Robot. We also recently lost the only two myspace auto account creators, Space Promoter, and Myspace Account Creator.
It was reported that the myspace legal team sent out C&D orders by email to these bot owners. They immediately shut down their sites! Well I got a copy of this C&D email and you can see it in this post. It seems not all the bot owners who got this email was impressed with it and question it's authority and or authenticity!
Speculation is still running wild from many observers and there are some really interesting theories floating around.
1. It's a Hoax!
Some one sent this email to bot owners to scare them! It worked.
2. Conspiracy Theory #1
Some of the bot owners have secretly got together to orchestrate a fake attack to later launch a new more expensive bot under a new name.
3. Conspiracy Theory #2
One of the bot owners is attempting to scale down the competition to later launch a new more expensive bot under a new name.
4. It's MySpace But No Bite!
This email did come from myspace, but not their legal team but rather only their abuse department, and the email carries no weight whatsoever, and the bot owners simply panicked.
Those are the main theories floating around right now. I am still investigating all this and will try to provide a better picture of what happened. In the mean time here is the infamous email that spooked at least three bot owners to shut down immediately after receiving it.
(click on title for complete post!)
Some Facts About The Email
The phone number goes to a voice mail box for some one named Jason Wiley. Not myspace.
It identifies it's self as "Abuse Team", not legal team, or attorneys.
It accuses of violating their TOS agreement.

The cnn link provided in the email is dead.
More to follow soon!

Space Promoter Replacement! |
As you may be aware of by now, the infamous program Space Promoter which could create hundreds and thousands of myspace accounts automatically on the fly has been removed from the market and is no longer availaible. While those lucky enough to have grabbed a copy before it's demise, it will no longer be supported. So many people were scrambling to find a suitable replecement for it as quickly as possible.
Some people have even hired coders to custom build their own cloned version of space promoter paying as much as $1800!
GOOD NEWS!
I am pleased to announce there is a very suitable and affordable alternative for space promoter! CLICK HERE to read my full review of MySpace Account Signup creator by eSolutions technology!

Space Station Review |
Space Station is another verry cool adder program for myspace, and this baby rocks! It is rock solid stable, has all the features you need, easy to use, and very fast!
This is my new favorite, it takes the lead over Badder Adder by a nose! It is very well designed for myspace marketing. Supports chaining, called cycling in space station. You can cycle every thing any way you want. It intergrates very well with Space Promoter too! So all you have to do is copy the account text file from Space Promoter and paste it in to Space Station and all your new accounts you just created are ready to go in SS! Saves a lot of time verses having to enter each account manually in badder adder. The reason for that is badder uses a different format in their txt file.
Space Station costs $39 and you can try a fully functional version for one hour for free. If you decide you want it all you do is copy the registration code from your SS and paste it to your order form. SS is imediately unlocked after payment. No waiting! Very cool!
Also, with Space Station you can configure exactly how much time delay to input for all actions.
Considering how user friendly it is, price, and features, I highly recommend Space Station!
NOTE: Space Station was much better then the previous version of Badder Adder, however, the latest version of Badder Adder is extremely rock solid and therefore Space Station is only in the lead right now by a nose!
TIP: If you really want to push your myspace marketing to the next level, use 2 adder programs simultaniously! Have one do the invites (this takes the longest), and the other do the comments! Right now I am use both badder adder and space station. I'm tempted to install a second harddrive on my computer to run two different versions of space station as that would be even better! Not sure if this is possible without purchasing a second license, same computer, but don't know how this would work out. I will probably try it and report my results later!

How To Use Girls Pics |
Regardless if you are creating your myspace accounts manually or the lightning fast way with Space Promoter, your gonna need pictures of girls!
This post isn't concerned with where you get them, this tip is about how you select them!
Try to select girls between the ages of 18 to 24. This is the ideal age group. Don't use pics where the girls look too young, even if they are over 18, if they look too young, there could be problems. The girls should be hot, but don't over do it. Don't use super model material! Look for more regular looking girls that are hot!
The more sexy and or provocative the better! Obviously you can't use nudes, but a little skin is fine, and if the pose is suggestive or provocative, use it! Sex sells! And don't think your only going to attract the guys, you'll be surprised how many females you attract too!
You should have at least 50 pics to get started with. Resize the images if needed, they should not be any larger then around 450 to 500 pixels high or wide. You only need one pic for each account. Try not to use the same image on a different account.

Poor Man's MySpace Marketing Tips! |
Cheapest Way To Get Started!
Ok, so you can't afford Space Promoter to create 1000's of myspace accounts on the fly right now, and you can't even afford Badder Adder right now! This is absolutely the cheapest way to get started, and once you can afford Space Promoter, GET IT! It will save you so much time and truly speed up your tasks!
Go buy Easy Adder for $20. There is no getting around this. You need to automate your friends finder adder and comment sender portion of myspace marketing! This is the minimum amount you need to invest!
Next you need to find pictures of hot girls ages 19 to 24. No older then 24. But not too hot! You don't want to scare off the nerds :)
Yes your going to create profiles as hot girls. Get over it, they sell the most!
Where can you find pics of girls? Well you could try usenet, or other lesser known social sites like Face Party and risk copyright infringements. Worse case you will loose your disposable myspace account(s). Or you could buy some really dirt cheap royalty free pics from sites like Dreamstime. You can buy pics for as little as $1 each. But keep in kind you should use different pics, and this could add up as you will want as many accounts as possible!
However you get your pics, resize them to around 500 pixels high and save them in a folder on your computer. Rename them to some thing that's easy to keep track of, like girl01.jpg, girl02.jpg. etc. Start of with 20 pics/profiles for you to get the hang of things.
Next you will need to create a catch-all email account. This can be easily done in cpanel under Mail>default address. Either keep the default the same or add a new one. The default catches all unassigned email address. So you can do this, jane@mydomain.com, sally@mydomain.com, etc. You need to use real email address because you will have to reply to a confirmation email from myspace.
Ok, so far you have 20 pics of hot babes, a catch-all email address, and Easy Adder. Your ready to start creating accounts. We will create 20 to start with.
Since you do not have Space Promoter, which does all this for you automatically, including the confirmation part, your going to have to do it manually.
Go to myspace.com and begin creating your first account. Write down the basic information.
Your fake name
your alias email address
your password
pic file name (optional)
your id number
When creating your account remember to enter birthdays that will make you between 19 to 24. You will need to enter a captcha, do not add any additional information, just click on skip for now. You will be taken to your new myspace account. Go to edit pic, you want to make the pic you uploaded durning your registration your default so it appears on your profile. Stay logged in, now check your email for a confirmation. Click on your confirmation link. It will open a new window telling you it was accepted. Close that window, refresh your old window and make sure the message to confirm your email is gone. Before you sign out, make sure you write down your ID number. You will find it at the end of the url myspace has assigned for your page. Do not create a custom name, keep it as the default. Now your done. Sign out, And repeat 19 more times.
This will take you approximately 30 to 45 minutes, depending on fast your connection is and how fast you can type.
Once you have create 20 profiles it's time to open up Easy Adder and start making friends!
First thing you need to do is add your 20 accounts in to easy adder, and then login to the first one.
Easy Adder lacks a few basic features which will spoil you. Unlike badder adder there is no "chaining" feature. Chaining is how you can connect all your accounts together in one task. With Easy Adder you will need to enter each of your accounts and then drag them over to the Work With section right next to it. It also lacks a browser, so you need to select the search parameters from with in the program. Now there are a couple of techniques used for this part. Some people prefer to select each age and sex separately to get the most possible profiles from myspace. It takes longer this way.
To do it this way, you would select age span 18 to 18 and select either male or female, but not both. Then click search. You will end up with a list of about 2000 to 3000 profiles for this range.
Next you select 40 to 50 as your max friends request (no more) and click run. Repeat this for each account.
Then Clear your list and select the next age and repeat the whole process again. This method does assure you of scraping the most amount of profiles but the pay back is it takes loner.
Alternately you can select a more wider age range and select both sexes or just one. This will simplify the process for you and you will still end up with a list of around 3000, but get more of a variety of profiles.
Which ever way you decide to go, with out chaining it will take longer then Badder Adder. Even though Easy Adder can defeat the captcha for the first 300 profiles.
After you have sent out your daily invites limit you can call it a day since all you have is 20 accounts. The next day you will send out comments to your new friends.
Never send out messages as that will only piss people off and get you busted faster! Bulletins are a waste of time. The best method is sending out comments to your friends.
It is here we will include a clever message and affiliate link!
I find this whole process much easier and faster on badder adder, but yes, you can also do it with easy adder, and adderbot, but both lack the features that count the most, chaining the big one! While adderbot has a browser, it lacks chaining and you can not turn of images on the browser which increases the speed of page loading!
The two programs I would recommend is Badder Adder first, because it updates regularly and is designed for power users, second would be space station which is very similar to badder adder in all respects and is $10 cheaper, but lacks the updates. from what I can see.
The key to your success will be in two things. The numbers, and the product!
You need to do this as often as possible, which obviously takes time so any thing that will speed up your process is a welcome! Also you need to find a product or service that will sell well for you! Find products and services that target the age group of 18 to 24 and you will do very good!
That's it for now! Good Luck!

Adderbot Review |
Here is another myspace adder program called adderbot and can be tired for free and purchased for $24.95. Comes in two flavors, browser version which is similar to badder adder, and the advanced Socket version. Purchase price entitles you to both versions. Adderbot can defeat the captcha for friends like easy adder.
This post is about the browser version.
This would be a great program if it was the same price as easy adder. It does not have all the features of badder adder, you can not import or export lists. adderbot is actually a cross between badder and easy. It's faster then easy adder. May be even faster then badder adder!
Adderbot does have a support forum where you will find the usual gripes and complaints you will find on easy adder's forum. Perhaps this is why badder adder does not have a support forum? There is not as much activity on adderbot's forum as there is on easy adder's forum, and questions seem to get answered faster on easy's forum!
Over all I think adderbot is a good program and certainly worth it's weight in gold! I would not be concerned with any negative posts you read on forums, as this will be the case no matter what program your talking about.
You can download the demo version which is fully functional with no apparent time limit, except there is a restriction of 40 friends or 40 messages per day you can send out.

Easy Adder Verses Badder Adder |
Easy Adder is another MySpace Friends Adder. This is a very simple program, but effective. It lacks some of the bells and whistles of other programs but is worth your consideration, especially if you are on a tight budget! You can try Easy Adder for free for about 30 minutes just like Badder Adder. After that you must purchase the program. The cost is only $19.95.So how good is it?
Not bad at all. It has a few minor bugs, but nothing to stand in your way from purchasing it. My biggest compliant about it is it sends you a email to your private email, and your myspace account every time it defeats a captcha. It's annoying because you have to delete about 40 emails from your email and your myspace account for about every 350 invites you send out. Also I wonder if MySpace will catch on if the program also sends your self a email too. What purpose does this suite? Damn if I know?! It's gotta go that's for sure, and the creator of Easy Adder has promised to add a option to run that feature off.
Other then that you will run accross the usual small bugs associated with all of these programs such as occasional hanging. How does it compare to the $49 Badder Adder? Not too bad really. It is much slower then Badder Adder! The creator says that is intentional to produce human appearance. I think it could be faster.
Captcha Defeated!
It boosts of defeating the captcha, and it really does too! But only for about the first 300 invites. For some reason it has trouble after that, and btw, that is when you may also may observe longer then usual hangs too, or crashes. I have not experienced any of these bugs, but others have claimed to have. As for the captcha it is pretty effective, occasionally it will slip and won't be able to defeat a captcha, at which time it sounds of a digital alarm to let you know so you can enter the captcha manually.
I like the interface better on Badder Adder, more user friendly and also includes a browser which comes in handy for scrapping profiles from groups and other pages. Easy adder does not have a browser and is the bare bones, but does offer every thing you really need to get the job done. Both of these programs are much better buys then the over priced Space Adder that is seriously over priced!
Easy Adder or Badder Adder?
If you can swing $49 get Badder Adder! It is better and much faster!
If your on a tight budget get Easy Adder! You won't be terribly disappointed and you will still be able to get the job done.
Out of 5 Stars, I give Badder Adder 4 1/2 stars, and Easy Adder 3 1/2 stars.

Getting Started |
Some basics about MySpace
What is MySpace?
MySpace is the largest web2.0 social web site on the Internet. Made of many thousands of members. It is a cyber community to exchange music, make friends, and share information. It is a ideal platform for new bands to promote their bands and independent label releases. It is a great place to meet new friends and even find your new partner!
What MySpace is not
It is not a place where you can get away with spamming or promoting commercial products and services. MySpace aggressively goes after spammers! Any one can report a spammer!
How to market on MySpace?
If spamming and advertising is frowned at, how then does one hope to market on myspace? Good question. The answer is to do it sensibly! By actually becoming apart of the community, and become a myspacer, you will be able to include your affiliate links in your profile, or link to a special page devoted to a affiliate or affiliate programs from your profile. The trick is to be sutle NOT aggressive!
You should also be aware that myspace has filtered out many popular affiliate urls, so you will have to use a redirect program. Also, javascript is no longer allowed.
Where to begin?
I suggest you create a account for you to test the waters with. Use a free email account from GMail or Hotmail or similar to create the account.
It will take you a little time to learn your way around myspace, it is huge! By far the largest community and web 2.0 site on the Internet, and learning how to use it does take some time!
After you create your first myspace account, fill out your profile. Even if you do not plan on using this test account you need to learn how to do every thing, and the profile is the most important part of myspace, so fill it out!
It will be in your profile where you can edit your layout, add links, photos, contact information, and short blurbs. So get the hang of it now! You may have noticed that every one's profile layout looks cooler then yours and there doesn't seem to be any way to change yours. Don't worry this is next!
Changing your layout
Changing your layout is actually very easy. There are two main ways you can accomplish this.
1. You can google "myspace layouts", and find one already made for you to copy and paste.
2. You can google "layout editor", and create your own from scratch.
I prefer to make my own from scratch, it's pretty easy with any layout editor, and there are no shortages of editors, graphics, hacks, and tips on the web. All you need to do is google it!
Adding your new layout is very easy. After you select or make a layout, you copy it and then go to your edit profile, and at the end of About Me section, just past the layout, save changes and you now have a new layout. Layouts are simply css and some html.
Getting Friends
The next thing you will want to do is learn how to get new friends. It is this process that will yield you your new leads. To accomplish this you click in the "browse" button on the top toolbar. From there you can narrow your search to different values. The results will be people that fit your search values. You simply click on a member, it goes to their profile page, and there is a members menu there with a "add friend" option. By clicking on that it sends them a email with your request to add them as a friend. Most will accept!
Your objective here is to build up a decent size friends list. The more the better! Some people actually sell these lists on ebay too! When you have at least 20-50 you can start sending out messages. This is where you can say thank you for accepting your request, looking forward to communicating with them, etc. And also in a subtle way work in a way to get them to click on your link, which will either be a affiliate link, link to your profile, or link to another web page you made just for myspace to advertise on.
It's important to remember that out right spam or advertising is not welcomed at all and can be immediately flagged! However if you can master how to be a genuine "myspacer" and practice passive advertising, it can really pay off for you!
Manual verses Automation
Obviously all this takes time. It could take you a week to get 100 friends manually, with much work on your part finding and sending out requests. Or you can automate this process and accomplish the same thing in one day! Here is where Badder Adder comes in!
With Badder Adder you can find and send out Friends requests in a matter of minutes! You could find 3000 "possible" friends in minutes! But myspace has a 500 per day limit, and I suggest you stay around 300 a day! Go ahead and extract your list of 3000, but only send out about 300 invites a day.
Badder Adder simply makes this process so much easier and faster! You can accomplish the same thing with out automation, but it takes a lot more time!
Why Badder Adder?
There are a number of myspace automation programs out there, why choose badder adder? GOOD QUESTION! The answer is because Badder Adder was create by a MySpacer for MySpacers! Many myspacers use badder adder to promote their independent label bands! It has features other programs do not have! You can try a fully functional version for free. It will expire after 30 minutes, but that's enough time for you to know you want it! If you purchase it, it also comes with a 30 day unconditional guarantee!
Other programs do not let you try BEFORE you buy! Most cost more then Badder Adder too! And some don't even automate any thing! They are just videos and tutorials disguised as a program! Some programs cost up to $300 and still do not have as many features as badder adder!
Badder Adder has a lot of features, verry user friendly, rock sold, solid support, regular upgrades, and get this, only costs $49!
Finally I totally endorse it and stand behind this program! My regular readers at Army Of Blogs already know I am a straight shooter! I only recommend the very best programs!

Badder Adder |
I am currently reviewing and testing out a program called Badder Adder. It is in my humble opinion a killer program worthy of your attention! I will be reviewing it here and on my Army Of Blogs page in greater detail in the next couple of days.
Basically Badder Adder simplifies the process of adding new friends, posting comments and bulletins on myspace and is geared for marketing, however any one and every one can benefit from it's features!
Needless to say MySpace is a huge frontier to cover and has great marketing potentials! But even a Internet Marketer such as myself can get hooked on myspace and become a myspacer! It truly is addicting!

MySpace Resources |
Ok just the first post to announce what I'm doing here. I wanted to create a myspace resource page for my Army Of Blogs resource site. This blog will be completely dedicated to myspace resources. There are plenty of such resource sites out there, and I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel, but need to have a place to refer my readers where they can find all the best resource pages available!
