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.

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.

Creating accounts

(5th Jun 2009- Account creation feature is currently not available, due to changes at youtube and their Google integration. Once we have a fix for this this feature will be restarted)

 

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.

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.

Note if you are using accounts created by third parties then you need to use the

Check Account External Option

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.

Validate External Accounts

 

Given the current situation where the account creation feature of Tube Automator is currently stopped you will need to either manually create accounts or buy ready made accounts.

These accounts need to be run through the Validate External Accountsl Option before you can use them as even though you verify the account via the link in the email that google sends you, there is still a validation that pops up at youtube if you try to post or comment.

 

 

So running the accounts through this option validates your accounts for you at youtube and then you can use them normally with tube automator

 

To do so click the "File>Validate External 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.

Making your video popular

To make your video popular you need to vote on it using the accounts you created as  well as post comments using the comments you scraped.

The main window of the software is used for this.

 

 

  1. Enter the full url to your video in the box marked 1. This url needs to include the "www" in the url.

  2. Enter the username of the account under which you uploaded  this video.

  3. Click the browse button marked 3 and navigate and select the comments file you created. This will load the comments into the comments box.

  4. Click the browse button marked 4 and navigate and select the accounts file you created. This will load the accounts into the accounts box.

  5. Choose the minimum and maximum rating. The software will choose a random rating between the values you choose. If you want to give a fixed rating set both the values to the same. i.e. if you want to vote the video as a "4" each time then set both the min and max value to 4.

  6. 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.

  7. You can shuffle the accounts as well as the comments by checking the checkboxes marked 7 and 8 in the image above.

  8. Check the boxes marked 9 and 10 to vote and comment respectively. You can opt to only vote or only comment as well.

  9. If you want to use a delay, check the box marked 11.

  10. If you want the software to use the proxy you have set in the proxy settings then check the box marked 12. You can use the software without a proxy as well.

  11. Click the start button and the software will start voting and posting comments as per your settings.

  12. You can minimize the software and later  access it from the icon in the system tray ( bottom right hand corner of the screen, beside the clock.)

Advertising on other peoples videos

 

You can also use the software to post your advertisements on other peoples videos. You will be doing this by posting comments on other peoples videos.

 

  1. Click the browse button marked 1 in the image above and  navigate and select the accounts file.

  2. Click the browse button marked 2 and navigate and select the comments file.

  3. Find the videos you want to post your advertisement on by selecting the appropriate option and (enter the keyword to search by, in case you choose the "keyword" option) clicking the start search button.

  4. Wait till all the video urls have been searched and loaded in the box.

  5. Enter the text of your ad in the box marked 4. Youtube doesn't allow urls or emails in the comments, so make sure you leave spaces in the url as shown above to prevent youtube from finding out that you have added urls in the comments and prevent you from commenting.

  6. 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.

  7. Select the time you want the software to wait before retrying to comment, once all the accounts are captchad. Youtube retains this captcha block on account for about 15 minutes once you have exceeded the 4 comments limit.

  8. Click the start button and then minimize the software to the system tray and it'll continue to keep working in the background.

You can also manually view these messages at any time by clicking the "Help>System Messages" menu option.

Auto update:

The software on startup checks if  a new version is available. It is recommended that if you are prompted for an update, please click the yes button and let the software update to the latest version.
