1.2 Before Starting
If you experience any problems installing software, be sure to visit our
knowledgebase at
http://adsenseboy.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=view and search for
problem description before submitting support ticket.
If your installer does not work properly, your cronjob does not function, or
you have any other issues, you may find complete information about these issues on
knowledgebase. Using knowledgebase is always faster than contacting support team!
Surely, your order comes with excellent customer assistance, so please be
sure to read support desk rules below to get the best service possible. Because Social
Bookmarks Submitter is very popular, it's natural I receive many support tickets and
suggestions every day. If you don't receive a reply to your support ticket, probably
solution to your issue is listed in knowledgebase already, and you should check it first.
Finally, here are very simple rules to follow when submitting support requests:
Do not send support requests to sales email. Please always use support desk
at http://www.adsenseboy.com/support/. All technical questions sent to sales email will
be ignored.
Do not re-submit multiple support requests – they will be ignored (including
not only duplicated, but also original request).
Submit new ticket for new issues. For example, if your problem was solved,
but you have a new problem after some time, do not update your old ticket. Submit new
ticket for each new issue you experience. However, if old issue is still not resolved,
please update your old ticket instead of submitting new one.
Well, that's all. Just follow these rules and enjoy phenomenal customer
service!
NEW!!! VIDEO TUTORIALS!!! If you have problems installing Social
Bookmarks Submitter, check out video tutorials at
http://www.submitbookmark.com/VideoTutorial.zip for step-by-step instructions
installing software.
Also never copy/paste cronjob commands from this user guide to your
control panel when configuring cronjobs. Depending on your PDF reading software,
cronjob commands may get corrupted and cause problems later (even if they look fine
visually). Please always enter all cronjob commands manually.
2.1 Automatic Installation
You can install Social Bookmarks Submitter automatically (automatic
installation is recommended) in 2 ways:
1. Using advanced software hosting and free configuration service available
in customers center. Just click Hosting tab and follow instructions on the screen.
Software will be installed and configured for best results by website promotion experts
from AdSenseBoy and will be hosted on our powerful servers in this case.
2. Using automated installation service available in customers center. Just
click Installation tab and follow instructions on the screen. Software will be automatically
installed and hosted on your server(s) in this case.
If you are looking for winning performance and fast results, it's highly
recommended to combine both methods. Use AdSenseBoy hosting service and install
one or more copies of Social Bookmarks Submitter on your server(s) at the same time.
See the results you expect!
2.2 Manual Installation
Manual installation of Social Bookmarks Submitter is fast and simple. Using
FTP client like CuteFTP, FileZilla (or any other) upload all files in BINARY mode to your
server. Chmod files "active_license.sbs", "config.social.php" and "social_cookie.txt" to
777.
Login to your cPanel (or another hosting panel which comes with your
server) and setup new MySQL database, MySQL username and MySQL password. Do not
forget to add MySQL user to new MySQL database and grant all privileges for him.
Finally, open http://www.yourdomain.com/social_install/ to launch installation wizard.
Installation is extremely fast and simple. After launching installation wizard,
you will be asked to enter licensed email address (email used when ordering software),
and select installation type.
You can install Social Bookmarks Submitter as standalone application (you
will need to enter promoted domains and related keywords manually via administration
interface), or as plugin for AdSense Money Maker (software will promote AdSense Money
Maker powered website automatically). When installing software as plugin, you MUST
upload Social Bookmarks Submitter to SAME directory where other tool is installed.
After clicking 'Continue to Next Step' button, you will be asked to enter
MySQL connection details (database name, username and password), and poster's name
(it will also be used as anchor text when submitting trackbacks). Please note: you will be
asked to enter MySQL connection details ONLY when installing Social Bookmarks
Submitter as standalone application.
If any errors will be detected, message with more details will be displayed. If
you get any errors, please double-check your settings (especially MySQL connection
details). Social Bookmarks Submitter installer is bugs-free, and the only thing that can
prevent installer from working – wrong configuration. So double-check everything once
again!
As soon as installation will be finished, follow instructions on the screen to
make final adjustments. You will be asked to enter promoted domain(s) and create
account(s) on social networks.
To prevent remote users from getting access to your admin panel,
administration interface is protected with password. Default username for administration
interface is admin and password is adsenseboy. It's highly recommended to change
admin password by logging on to admin panel and clicking Change Password right after
installation.
Now you must delete social_install directory and setup cronjob to get this
software running. As soon as you will setup single cronjob, software will operate
AUTOMATICALLY!
2.2 Cronjobs
Because software is 100% automated, it requires cronjobs to be configured
first. To setup cronjobs, please log on to your hosting control panel and setup single
cronjob:
php -q /PATH_TO_FILES/social_posting.php
Be sure to replace PATH_TO_FILES with REAL path to files where Social
Bookmarks Submitter is installed. Also note there must be a space symbol before and
after "-q". For example, if your server is running cPanel, your cPanel username is
"someuser", and software is installed under public_html directory, your cronjob
command will look like:
php -q /home/someuser/public_html/social_posting.php
Be sure NOT to copy/paste ANY part of cronjob from user guide to hosting
control panel. ALWAYS enter ALL cronjobs manually!!!
It's NOT recommended to launch cronjobs more often than every 4 hours.
For example, if you will run cronjobs every several minutes, software will NOT work
correctly (and we will NOT provide any support).
If you use command 'php -q /home/someuser/public_html/SOME_FILE.php',
you should NOT receive any emails if cronjob is executed successfully. Only if something
will go wrong, you will receive email with error message.
If you get any errors using 'php -q' command (which is recommended), you
can use alternative cronjob commands:
1. curl http://www.yourdomain.com/SOME_FILE.php
OR
2. wget -O /dev/null http://www.yourdomain.com/SOME_FILE.php
If you believe cronjobs do not work correctly, please check out
knowledgebase before contacting support desk - it will save your and my time. I'm
100% sure you will find solutions to all your problems at knowledgebase.

tags for some reasons, it will apply tags entered here. If link will not contain any tags,
and Remote Parser will not be able to parse tags for this URL, it will be skipped.

(old URLs will be skipped), and more...

Submitter or Social Bookmarks Submitter installation, just copy all data from 'Accounts

Submitter installation, just copy all data from 'Domains to Export' field, and paste it to

your personal needs.
Use Proxy. If proxy support will be activated, software will choose one
random proxy each time when submitting. You can add proxy servers using Add Proxy
Servers section.
Use Remote Parser. Each bookmark requires title, description and tags.
Software can get these records automatically (visiting each page before bookmarking
and parsing meta tags), but you can disable this option. You will need to enter
title/description/tags for each page manually using Tags Management section.
Resubmit URLs. When software submits all sites, it stops bookmarking by
default (to prevent your account from being closed for spam). If re-submission support
is enabled, software will bookmark same sites over and over again (not recommended).

11.1 License Validation
Social Bookmarks Submitter has active license validation system, which
connects to our servers every X days and validates your license. If license is invalid or
deactivated (when customer requests for refund, for example), software simply stops
working and displays error message.
Social Bookmarks Submitter also comes with protection against fraudulent
orders. When customer installs software, installation wizard connects to our servers and
customer details (server's IP where software is being installed, IP address used to make
order, email address used to make order, etc.) are logged on our database. In case
order is fraudulent, we deactivate license and forward these details to Internet Crime
Complaint Center, National White Collar Crime Center AND hosting (or server) provider.
