I have two four requirements to use this code.

• so if your reading this, and you haven’t signed up on the mailing list – do so, now.
• Go to another super affiliates site and ask them where their code samples are and link back to me in the comment section.
• Join us on #deStonesucks on irc. — see details here.
• Add the RSS to your reader.

You’re going to need a few things for this to work. One of them is magpie, then you will need a dictionary file as well (right click, save as). For those truly lazy, here is a complete download of this entire tutorial.

Step 1:

Create a directory called backlinker on your server. Dump the contents of dictionary.txt, the magpie install, and backlinker.php into it.

Step 2:

Modify the code so that $promoteurl is your website you are wanting to blast out. $throttle is just seconds between hits on del.icio.us.

Step 3:

Run the backlinker from the Command Line. If you have other dictionary files, you can use them instead of ‘dictionary’ (must be a .txt file)


php backlinker.php dictionary


Step 4:

Watch as the hits start rolling in from referrer logs. Modifications I have on my personal version – I store each url in a database so I can re – hit it later, I have proxy support built in, and I am using the multi-curl class our buddy win– created. If I gave you that, I wouldnt be helping you, now would I? Questions? Join the irc channel and discuss.
