On this thread we'll get into using different Tuelz and Bombs together. This may seem a little complicated, but my goal isn't to teach you a specific way of doing things, but rather a bunch of different techniques.
Master these techniques and you'll be an expert SEO-orientated web master. You'll be able to create, update and modify huge sites with a strong focus on SEO.
Seriously.
Download this template. We'll use it a few times on this thread to demo different techniques.
www.dombom.com/iframes/Tumbsup_Pagebomb_template.zip
Since this thread deals with combining resources, I'll assume certain knowledge concerning the Tuelz and Bombs. If you have a question about a specific resource, please don't post it here, instead use the thread(s) dedicated to that particular program/script.
Open page.html in a text editor.
The first thing I did was "prep" the template. Look for the following modifications:
<<keywords>> - This is a special tag used by PageBomb. If you create a ton of pages, each with different keywords, PageBomb will replace this tag with a keyword/phrase from the list of keywords you input. Look for them on the page and you can see we're doing some basic on-page SEO.
The following are all "marker tags". These are all html comment tags, which means they appear in the code, but won't appear in a browser. Take a look at these marker tags. We'll use these with Tagz, Randomz, ZZ Tuel, Keymapz, Backerz. We use the tags to mark different areas of the page so we can put stuff before, after and in between these tags, giving us the ability to modify tons of pages very easily, even if these are static html pages.
<!- header1 -->
<!- header2 -->
<!- maincontent1 -->
<!- maincontent2 -->
<!- righttop1 -->
<!- righttop2 -->
<!- righttwo1 -->
<!- righttwo2 -->
<!- rightmiddle1 -->
<!- rightmiddle2 -->
<!- rightbottom1 -->
<!- rightbottom2 -->
<!- footer1 -->
<!- footer2 -->
<!- bottom1 -->
<!- bottom2 -->
The next tag you should find is this SSI tag. We use it to display different content produced by FatBomb. You can also use The Amazon script, BlogBomb or many other scripts that produce dynamic content:
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/fbs/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/skin=blankskin&length=20&keywords=<<key+words"-->
Note: The SSI tag won't display any content until it is uploaded to your website. Even then, you'll probably need to also upload an .htaccess file, which is easy.
You can even combine SSI tags on the same pages.
Getting the SSI tags to work will be the hardest part. But once you learn this webmaster skill, you're options will multiply 100X.
The hardest part (assuming Fatty, BlogBomb, etc is installed correctly) will be getting the file path correct.
Also, you need to "call" a Fatty skin that doesn't have the html header/footer code, as this template already has it included.
Just so happens, I have one that will work...Download this template and upload it to your Fatbomb/skins folder.
www.dombom.com/iframes/blankskin.zip
Once you have Fatty installed and working, next config the search box to work with your Fatty install. Or, you can delete the search box altogether, if you don't want your visitors to be able to search Fatty.
Pros of Fatty search: You can see which keywords your visitors are searching for and create content based on that.
Con - You don't have control over what your visitors view.
To "config" the search box, just change this URL to match your own.

#1, Use PageBomb to Make Pages

Use PageBomb to Make PagesGather a list of keywords. Mix them up, don't use the same root. Divide into 2 lists based on your research:
Primary - As many as you want. I suggest about 100 keywords will make 100 pages for a good number of pages for our purposes.
Secondary - These are less valuable words and phrases and others words that mix and match well with your primary keywords, as well as psychographics words.
Open PageBomb
Paste the HTML of the template into PageBomb
Paste your list of primary keywords into PageBomb
Make pages - These pages should have the keywords filled in, but no content. They are using the SSI tag from above and need to be uploaded so your server can create the content.
Also, be sure you have the images and other files in the "right place" so the template doesn't' break.
Upload the pages to your site.
Adjust, tweak and test your content sources in FatBomb and give it some niche related content. Do this by using SpiderBomb, hand picked links, SERPs, affiliate links, etc. The better the stuff you feed Fatty, the higher quality your pages will be.
Any changes made through your Fatty admin will instantly across all pages. This part of the page is actually dynamic. Right now we're mixing dynamic and static elements.
Dynamic will give us the ability to easily make changes on a site wide basis.
The static elements give us precise control over other parts of the pages on a page by page basis. For example, we can add different revenue streams, do SEO, and do special things with individual pages.
OTHER OPTIONS
Once you get the hang of things, try these methods:
- Create 20 pages and adjust the SSI tag for Fatty to show 40 results. Input another 20 keywords, but this time only have 8 results in the SSI tag. Keep varying the tags. The goal is to have different sized pages so we have a wide variety of "SEO recipes".
Remember, "Bombing" at its essence means mixing things up and always change, while still considering the elements of SEO.
- Use two (or more) SSI tags using different keywords on the same page. Have one SSI tag call your primary keywords and a second SSI tag call you secondary keywords. You can do some cool LSI-related stuff like this. I'll tell you how to do this later in this thread.
- Use SSI tags to different dynamic sources, like BlogBomb, Amazon, the Rotator Script, More later.
#2, Adding Random Static Text Elements

Make some "one liners" using a mixture of PLR and original content. A one liner is a chunk of text and html all put one one line of text. See this thread for more info: Create at least 35 lines/chunks, or more if you can , each on their own line in a text editor. This isn't as hard as it sounds. A few articles can produce that many chunks.
Open the Linez Tuel and paste the 35+ lines of text into Linez.
In Linez, "Suffix each line with":
<P>
This formats your chunks in the HTML.
Start your Tuelz and open the pages you made with PageBomb in the Randomz Tuel
Paste your lines/chunks into Randomz
Select 1-5
Add after this text:
<!- maincontent1 -->
Upload to your site.
Here's what's cool. We've taken some PLR, a little original stuff, a graphic, search box, and a little SEO friendly html and we've added random static chunks and combined them with the dynamic SSI tags.
Others spin articles. Bombers take them, blow them up, and put them back together in as many ways as we can.
Now think about this for a second...
Your pages have a bit of solid content and SEO from your PLR articles
A few links from your hand picked Fatty database...Can be anything from Clickbank adds to YouTube results and more.
These are pretty good pages, they'll have decent content, won't look like "doorway pages" if done correctly . And are great for Adsense, Clickbank, etc.
#3, Using Keymapz and Backerz for Creating Site Maps and Linking Strategies
Posted by Kurt on Jul-05-09 at 07:21 PM
In response to message #2
AFter you've created your pages using PageBomb, open the pages in Keymapz.Also, create a sitemap.html page based on your site's template. Insert some "marker text" into the template, telling Keymapz where to add the links.
Then:
Include pages that contain this word/phrase:
a (Just use the letter a, as all pages will have it.)
Check:
Anywhere in entire page
Check:
Add links to single index
Browse and Select sitemap.html
Enter:
Add links: Before After This text:
Now you have a site map with the page titles used as anchor text.
Here's anotherLinking strategy...Just load the pages up in Backerz, use:
Before </body>
...as your marker text
Now every page will link to at least two other pages, as well as have two other pages link to it.
Use the Keymapz Tuel to cross link pages based on keywords.
Get a list of your main keywords. For a dog site, I may choose a word like "training".
I enter "training" into Keymapz, select the variables, and Keymapz will link all pages that use "training". I'll have my "house training", "potty training" "obedience training" pages all automatically cross-linked.
This method is great for both humans and search engines, as it links relevant pages with each other.
Even if you have a couple of thousand Pagebomb pages, you can ue the three steps above to create a very effective linking/spidering system.
#4, Mixing Up Your SEO
Posted by Kurt on Aug-03-09 at 10:17 PM

There are many factors to SEO. Most experts try to find the "one" formula that's gives the highest rankings.As a Bomber, we try to create pages using a wide varieties of "formulas".
For example, let's talk about the title tag of your pages. IMO, these are the most important words in SEO, and have been for 13+ years.
There's different concepts and ideas about page titles.
Should you use ONLY the main keywords?
Or should we use secondary keywords PLUS the main keywords?
Should you use the keywords more than once in the title?
Should the keywords be next to each other?
Does it matter what order the keywords are in?
Again, as Bombers, we don't really care about which is better, because we do it all.
Here's one way:
WARNING; MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR PAGES! You will make a mistake and I'll even tell you what it is before you do it. You will forget about the black space after words. This can be hard to undo. So make a backup.
Open ReplaceBomb and then open the folder containing your pages. You will need at least 50+ page and probably 200+ to make this work.
Create a short list of "prefixes" that will go at the front of the page titles.
In Replacez....
Find:
<title>
Replace with:
<title>
<title>
<title>
<title>
<title>
<title>
<title>
<title>
<title>
<title>
<title>Best_ (_ is a blank space!!!)
<title>Cheap_ (_ is a blank space!!!)
<title>Welcome to_ (_ is a blank space!!!)
The with just <title> wont't change those page titles at all, leaving just the main keywords.
Next, let's add some suffixes:
Find:
</title>
Replace:
</title>
</title>
</title>
plus secondary keywords</title>
plus secondary keywords</title>
</title>
and great deals</title>
real bargains</title>
</title>
</title>
and more keyword stuff</title>
</title>
</title>
</title>
</title>
What will happen is some pages:
- Some won't be changed and will keep only the exact keyword phase as page titles.
- Some will have a word or two before the main keyhwords
- Some will have a word or two AFTER the main keywords
- Some will have keywords before and after the main keywords
Instead of guessing where are keywords should be, we have them in the beginning, middle and end of the title tags. Alone. Mixed with secondary keywords and "money" keywords such as "cheap", "deal", "coupons", etc.
Visualize your titles like this:
blue widgets
green widgets
Best red widgets
Best white sidgets
Best yellow widgets plus secondary keywords
Cheap maroon widgets and more keyword stuff
Cheap gray widgets and more keyword stuff
black widgets and great deals
Best striped widgets and great deals
cheap navy widgets and great deals
Notice how the widget related keyword phrase is located in different areas of the title (called proximity in SEO), and in different densities.
Again, as Bombers we don't try to "opimize" and find the one "best" formula. Instead, we try to cover all reasonable options.

I must say that this is a great thread to get people started and really just wanted to give it a "bump". You really have to beat the learning curve with a few of these programs, but once you do, you are truly on your way to being an automation master. I have finally got blogbomb running nicely on most of my sites. And mastering SSI tags is essential to being a great automater. I am really an "old newb". I experimented with the bombs a year ago but finally got invigorated to give them a shot. So, I'm going to let you all watch my truly first "tuelz/bombs" mix project. I'm using a variety of static items, and a variety of SSI.
Kurt is right about changing everything. The SE's are always changing. I pretty much lost an entire network years ago because i did the same thing on every site. What a mistake, bombing is about constant change. Taking something and doing it EVERYWAY. This way you will be around now, and later. Ok, so back to my test site. I decided to make a few pages on weight loss, etc. These are going to be tin splash pages basically just built for some link juice. They are a little spammy. Here's why. I created about 5 different list files rather quickly to use as "prefix/suffix" in some areas of the page. Such as the title, headers, links, etc. I thought this would make the pages appear different in the SE's. (Again these pages aren't really for people, just SE food).
The Dynamic programs I am attempting to use are "blogbomb, fatbomb, and odpbomb". Well, kurt was right, the hardest part is getting this stuff setup.
I have blogbomb working well after a few trys lol. On these pages I have the random feature enabled. So it's getting 4 random feeds on a page. I suppose if I wanted to vary this, I could use replacez and I could chance each SSI tag to include a different feed, vary the amount of feeds, etc. I didn't feel like doing that for this project so just took the easy "random" option.
Next I tried to put some odpbomb data on the page. Well this is just not working at all. Is this program no longer supported, I think my version says 2003 on it lol.
I also can't get fatbomb to display data. Do I have to have a database nstalled to use? Anyway, on the install, it gives an error when you even try to search. I'd like to display maybe 5 fat search results, and not have the option for search. Are there any detailed instructions on using fatbomb and installing databases. I really haven't learned much perusing the old fatbomb forum...
I have also read a bit about "spiderbomb"? Is this program still available, I'm surprised I don't have it, and here I thought I had everything kurt ever made lol. Adds SE results to pages right? Thats pretty cool.
Here's that little issue with fatbomb.
http://www.papersonaltrainer.com/cgi-bin/fat/search.cgi/
Here's an example of the SSII use after I pagebomb the code:
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/fat/search.cgi/skin=blankskin&length=20&keywords=1200+calorie+diet+plans"-->
Yes I followed all instructions, have the blankskin template.
Next, I used linez and replacez to change some wording using the textfiles I created and using the shuffle feature of linez and replaces. I used backerz to add back and next links. I think this is a good simple way to link for my purposes on this project, so I added it.
Next, on the bottom of the page I have another tag for links. I plan to do these differently, Adding "2-5" random internal keyword links and a homepage link. This should give my internal pages a bit more of "internal keyword link juice bump".
My question for adding these internal links. Is there a way to take a directory of pages created in pagebomb and turn them into href keyword links, without doing it manualy? Anything bomber style for this?
Another problem I had was while developing the static elements. I had added my markers to the html, and when I used replaces to try to add a "blank space" it wouldn't do it. I instead had to modify my template to have a space in it. Just thought that strange.
Anyway, i just thought I'd post up my ongoing "test" project. For anyone reading this that is new, just keep plugging at the system kurt lays out, there is 12 years of gold here, it will click when it clicks, until then just experiment and read. It will begin to make some sense.
Here's my work in progress:
http://papersonaltrainer.com/pb2/diet-plan-for-low-carb-foods.html
Just use the next/back links for now, I haven't finished the others.
in the keymaps tag I plan on putting authority links "out" of the site. Both to gold/silver sites and other random authority sites.
The 0links at the bottom will be used for some other internal linking as I mentioned above..just need a good system. And I think I have come up with it using replacez. Just need a method to turn my folder lists into keyworded hyperlinks, and I know there is a way I've done it before lol.
Also, is there anyway to make pagebomb not crank out pages with the keywords in every pagename? Or should I just use PAGEZ to try that? Has anyone had problems using the keywords as names of the file? Probably not, but I won't be doing it for every project. Well, let me know what you want to know and see, and we'll all learn with this project.

Ok, well I figured out how to create the hyperlinks en-mass using keymaps. The only pain in the butt was taking out the <BR> and hitting enter after everyone to create separate lines. Not so bad in this situation since I only have about 60 pages. Then, I used randomz to add in something like this after the marker: (URLGOESHERE | URLGOESHERE). I varied the amount of URLGOESHERE's on every line in randomz, so as to make the pages feel a bit more natural to the SE's. So now I have keyworded hyperlinks to my internal pages randomized on every page. I'm going to do that for this project instead of using a giant map of my site and links for only certain pages.Only pain I COULDN'T FIGURE out was how to use REPLACEZ to totally remove a marker from the pages. I tried putting a blank space, a blank line, arggh. Wouldn't take it out, so eventually I just replaced the word to Also See:.
Next I'd like to get fatbomb working on these pages. If anyone can recommend a Tutorial for it please post the thread. Fatty seems to be the only only I'm really having a pain with. As always, I'm sure its just beating the learning curve. Once I do I'll be flying, lol.

There's 4 links in the header of each forum page that link to FatBomb topics.
There's also the "old" FatBomb forum here:
http://www.dombom.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=list&forum=DCForumID24&conf=DCConfID1
The old forum has some stuff, just be sure to pay attention to the dates of the threads. Many of the search engine scrapers don't work, so you'll need to concentrate on building your own databases.
