This tutorial takes each script one at a time and may be easier to understand, if you're new to installing cgi scripts.

It is highly recommended that you print out this tutorial. You will also need the following info a couple of times, so it will be helpful to write them down.

SearchFeed Affiliate #________          SearchFeed Commision Percentage ____

RevenuePilot Affiliate #________           Amazon Affiliate ID ___________  

Path to Perl ___________    Not needed if you host on NewWebHost. It is already set for you.           

searchbomb.cgi.

Searchbomb.cgi is actually the hardest. Once you're done with searchbomb, everything is downhill from here.

Open it in any text editor, such as Notepad.

Skip #1 if you're hosted with NewWebHost. The Path to Perl is already set for you.

1. Change path to perl, if needed. (This is the very first line of searchbomb.cgi. It is set to the most common path: #!/usr/bin/perl

You will need to get this info from your host.

2. Setting the options. You will see some options that you need to set so that you get paid correctly, control how many links to show on a page, etc.
 

A. Your SearchFeed affiliate code. Change the number "1925" to your own SearchFeed Affiliate number.

B. Enter your SearchFeed commission percentage so searchbomb knows how much you make for each click. This is usually 35% to begin with.

C. Your RevenuePilot affiliate code. Change the number "2067" to your own RevenuePilot Affiliate number.

D. "my results" Optional. This numbers determines how many links you want to display on each page. This is set to show 20 links for each search. If you want to show 25 links, change this number to "25".

E. "my show value" Optional. If you want to show the amount you make from each bid, choose "y". If you don't want to show the money for each click, change to "n" (no). You will probably get more clicks if set to "n", however there may soon be laws passed that require you to identify links that you get paid for. The choice is yours.

Note: All RevenuePilot affiliates have the same commission percentage, so no need to change it.

Note: There are no letters in the scripts to identify the options. This will mess up the code. I just use letters here to help with this tutorial.

A. my $searchfeed_affiliate_number=1925;      #enter your own aff number
B. my $searchfeed_comission=0.50;                #50% comission
C. my $revenuepilot_affiliate_number=2067;    #enter your own aff number
    my $revenuepilot_comission=0.60;                   #60% comission
    my $timeout = 150;                                          #10=0.1 seconds
    my $header="searchbomb_templates/search_header.html";    #define a file with path for header
    my $footer="searchbomb_templates/search_footer.html";      #define a file with path for footer
D. my $results=20;                                          #10 is the total number of results to show
E. my $showval="y";                                        #Set to "y" to always show the value,

3. Save.

4. Upload searchbomb.cgi and the folder "searchbomb_templates", instructions below.

5. Test Searchbomb. Now, go to searchbomb using a web browser such as Internet Explorer. To do this depends on how your site is set up. For 90% of the sites, you can just substitute your domain for "mydomain.com"

http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/searchbomb.cgi

If everything is set up correctly, you now have your very own Pay Per Click search engine in place.

Plus, it's all downhill from here! You've successfully installed the most difficult "bomb" and the rest will be a piece of cake.

A. Enter your SearchFeed affiliate number. Change the number "1925" to your own SearchFeed Affiliate number.

B. Enter your SearchFeed commission percentage so blenderbomb knows how much you make for each click.

C. Enter your RevenuePilot affiliate code. Change the number "2067" to your own RevenuePilot Affiliate number.

Note: There are no letters in the scripts to identify the options. This will mess up the code. I just use letters here to help with this tutorial.

Using LeechFTP to install DomBom ProfitBombs on NewWebHosting.

Download LeechFTP for free.

We use LeechFTP because it is free and it is very easy. The same general principles will apply to most FTP programs.

We use NewWebHost because it is the perfect fit for use with DomBom ProfitBombs. Once your first NewWebHost is set up, all you have to do is type in your domain name and NewWebHost will automatically install the ProfitBombs scripts for you instantly!

There are three main things to understand when attempting to FTP for the first time.

1. You need to connect your PC to your web host or server so you can send your stuff to the server.

2. "Your PC" Window. Use this window to find the ProfitBombs on your computer.

3. The host or server window. This is where you upload stuff from your PC. It is important to upload stuff to the right place.

1. Connect to your host.  First, click "File" locate near the "1" on the image above. Then click "Connect...".

A pop-up window will appear such as in the image below:.

Enter the info supplied by NewWebHost (or your hosting company).

A. Your domain.
B. Your user name
C. Your password.
D. Remote Directory. This isn't needed for NewWebHost, although it may be needed for other hosting companies.
E. Click "OK".
If everything has been entered correctly, in a few seconds you should "make a connection" and a list of your domains hosted a NewWebSite should appear in the box on the right (#3).

* **Make a bookmark. If you've made a connection to your host, in the server window #3, right click, then select "Add Bookmark" and give it a name. This way, next time you just have to go to "File-->Bookmarks" and won't have to enter your log in info again.

2. "Your PC" Window. Use this window to find the ProfitBombs on your computer.

Now is the hardest part. You need to use the #2 window in Leech to navigate through your PC to find the Profitbombs folder. Once you find the ProfitBombs folder, double-click it so that it looks like the #2 window below, with all the stuff inside listed.

You may have to click on the little folder shown below to move "up" your computer, as marked by the red arrow below. Think of it in the same way as the "back button" on your browser. When you've found the Profitbomb folder, window #2 should look like this:

Again, this is the hardest part. If you can't find the proftibomb folder, try doing a "find file" for it to help you find it. You will still need to get to it using LeechFTP, but "Find File" will give you some hints.

Upload in ASCII Mode: Once you have located the profitbombs, you need to make sure that you upload them in the ASCII mode using Leech. Just look at the button in the Top/Center of the Leech window with "ABCD" on it (marked by the red arrow below ) and make sure it's "clicked" (has a little square around it to make it look different). Clicking this button makes sure your pages are uploaded in ASCII.

.

(Note: To upload images, you'll need to switch this button back to "Auto")

Then, if you have more than one domain (which is the whole point of NewWebHost), click on the domain of your choice, then click on the "web" directory. The "web" directory is the "root" of your website. This is where you want to put your homepage, etc. (Note: Most other hosts don't have a "web" directory. This is a feature of NewWebHost).

Once you are in the "web" directory, you should also see a folder called "cgi-bin", such as in the image below (#3):

Now:

1. Double click on the "cgi-bin" folder in window #3 to open it.

2. Click on a file in window #2 and drag it to window #3.

3. Repeat with the other folders and files.

Note: You can also click on the first directory in window #2 and then hit and hold the shift key end key on your keyboard at the same time. You should see all the files become "gray". This will select all the files in window #2. Now just drag all the files and folders at once to window #3.

Once all the files have been uploaded, window #2 and window #3 should look very similar.

Directories/Folders: Change the Permissions to 777

a. "Right click" on the "amazon_templates" folder in the window on the right. A pop up window should appear like the one below:

In the pop up window b change the number to "777" and c click "Set Attributes".

Repeat for the following:

a. Right click on each:

dmoz_cache           searchbomb_templates

b. Choose "Set Attributes" by right clicking on each folder/directory.

c. Set each to "777" just like you did for the "amazon_templates" folder.

CGI files-Change the Permissions to 755:
