Tube Automator User
Manual
Index
Overview
Tube Automator is a
software that will increase traffic to your sites. The traffic
primarily comes via your video to your site. Once you post a video to
youtube, you will use tube automator to create hundreds of accounts
and post comments and vote on this video with the accounts you create.
Once you do this your video lands up on the popular sections of youtube and people who visit these pages see your video and land up on
your site via the link you add when you submit your video.
The second way you can
use Tube Automator is to post your advertisement to videos at youtube.
You do this by commenting on other peoples' videos. Though we haven't
found this to be as effective as promoting your own video, this
feature has been added in due to popular demand.

Settings
The first thing you need
to do once you start the application is to edit the settings as per
your choice.
To access the setting
click the file>settings menu

Proxy Settings
If you intend to use
proxies then this is the place to set them up. You need to enter the
proxies one per line in the format IP:PORT
So each line would be
for example 64.56.123.78:8080

Make sure you don't
leave any blank space or blank lines after the last line.
Proxies can be obtained
from public proxy lists, but you need to validate them to see if they
are working.
If you are using TOR
then simply enter 127.0.0.1:8118 in the proxy box.
Tor is public anonymity
project where volunteers let you use their network of servers using
which communications are bounced around a distributed network of
servers called onion routers.
So in short if you use TOR your activity will remain anonymous First
visit
http://tor.eff.org/download.html.en
TOR is an open source software+network of TOR servers that act as
proxies.
Using this each time you can get a new anonymous IP
So once you have installed the software, you will see 2 icons in your
system tray.
One called "Vidalia" and another called "Privoxy"
Both need to be on. Enter 127.0.0.1:8118 in the proxy box and click
the save settings button

Catch All
When the software
creates accounts at youtube it needs to enter email addresses in the
sign up form. You tube sends a confirmation email to this email. This
email contains a link that needs to be clicked when you are logged in
your youtube account to make your account a fully functional account.
If this step isn't completed youtube will not allow you to comment or
vote.
When the software signs
up, if your catch all isn't enabled then the email used will be of the
format
xxxxxxxxxx@blogcommentor.com, where xxxxxxx are random characters.
This is not recommended
as if a lot of users use this default domain then its very easy for
youtube to find your accounts and delete them.
The catch all is a way
of bypassing this. A catchall setup lets you forward any email sent to
a domain to another email of your choice.
You need to setup your
catch all to point to "youtube@blogcommentor.com"
Click
this link to see a video showing you how to
setup a catchall address from cpanel.
Note you need to have
you own domain and hosting with cpanel to do this.
If your host uses some
other control panel then you need to contact your host to provide you
with instructions on how to set it up.
Once you setup the
catch-all enter the domain where the catchall is setup in the catchall
box in the settings window and click the "Test catchall" button.
The software will now
send a test email to your domain using a randomly created email id
like it would do when it would sign up at youtube. Example
asa786q73@youtsite.com
If your catch all has
been setup correctly, your server will forward this email to
youtube@blogcommentor.com.
The software will now
access the mailbox at blogcommentor.com and check if the mail was
forwarded to it. If yes then it means your catchall has been setup
correctly and you will see a message confirming it.
If you don't get this
conformation message box, then it means that your catch all hasn't
been setup properly.

Checking Username
Availability
When you create an
account at youtube, you are asked to select a username. You have the
option of making the software create accounts based on the usernames
you choose or let it generate random usernames.
If you want the software
to use the usernames you provide you need to provide these user names
in a text file with one user name per line.
Before you create such a
list you need to check if the username has been already taken at
youtube. To check this click the file>check user name availability
menu
In the window that
appears enter the user names one per line and then click the start
button.

The usernames that are
available from the names you entered are displayed in the box below.
Save these username to a
file. You will be using this file when you create accounts.
Top
Creating accounts
To create accounts,
click the "file > create youtube accounts" menu.
If you want to use the
usernames you validated in the section earlier, check the "Yes" box
and browse and select the file you saved the usernames to in the
earlier section.

Next click the "Load
captcha button". Once the image loads, type the letters you see into
the box marked "captcha text" and click the "enter" key or press the
"submit captcha" button.
If the account was
created successfully it will be added to the box below and a new
captcha image will be loaded in the image box.
Proceed in this manner
till you have created the number of accounts you wish for.
Next click the "verify
accounts" button and the software will verify the accounts. Once the
process is done, save the verified accounts to a text file.
You can try to verify
the accounts that failed verification after some time.
Top
Checking accounts
Youtube periodically
deletes accounts that it thinks are spammy accounts, and you will lose
some accounts over time. So you need to check your existing accounts
periodically to check if they have been deleted.
To do so click the
"file>check accounts" menu.

In the window that
appears, select your accounts file and then press ok. Your existing
accounts will get loaded in the box on the left.
Click the check accounts
button and the software will add the valid accounts to the box on the
right.
Once this process is
done, click the save button and the original file will be overwritten
with only the valid accounts in it.

Scraping Comments
When you comment on your
own video as well as when you post comments to other peoples videos to
advertise, its helpful to have a comments file so that you don't need
to spend a lot of time writing your own comments.
Tube automator lets you
scrape comments from other comments posted on other peoples videos.
To scrape comments,
click the "file>scrape random comments menu"

Enter the keyword you
want to be used as the search keyword at youtube and press the "Start
search button:"
The software will find
and add the urls of the videos that match your search criteria. Once
all the urls are added, click the start scrape button and the comments
from each video will be added to the box below. Once thats done copy
paste and save the comments to a file.

maximum rating. The software will choose a random rating between the

time then set both the min and max value to 4.
-
If you wish to set up a
delay between the posts to make them look like they were posted by
real humans, set the min and max delays. The software will choose a
random delay between the settings you choose.

You can shuffle the
accounts as well as the comments by checking the checkboxes marked 7

-
Enter the text of your
ad in the box marked 4. Youtube doesn't allow urls or emails in the

Check the box marked 5
if youd like to have a random comment appended to your advertisement
comment. This helps get by the duplicate comment filters.
