1) Create a folder somewhere or use the existing "data" folder. I stuck mine in the "data" folder and named it "databases." This is done for purely organizational purposes. If this is confusing just create it in the default/root folder of FatBomb.

2) Next create a file in that folder called whatever. I named mine "datab1.dat" It can be a .dat extension or .txt extension. If you do it in notepad simply rename "name.txt" to "name.dat" once it is on your server (if you want to). Upload in ascii. This is the file NAME and NOT the database name. The two are different.

3) Add info to that file via pipe delimiter format: URL|Title|Description

Example:
http://hop.clickbank.net/?xxxxx.02layhi|Glamour Photography Profits|Learn how to promote and make . . .
http://hop.clickbank.net/?xxxxx.040522|Voodooblackmagic|Online Psychic Readings.
http://hop.clickbank.net/?xxxxx.10kperday|Real Estate With No Credit Checks!|Invest in Real . . .

4)Add DataBase in admin area. The database name is just a NAME that you give it. Name it after your dog, cat or a the cute name you call your significant other. It is just a name that you associate with the database.

For example, if you created a db with Clickbank links it would make perfect (and common) sense to name it "cbank." Amazon db could be "zon."

When adding the path to your db file it is relation to the FatBomb.cgi. IF you put the file in the root FB folder then you will JUST PUT IN THE NAME OF THE FILE.
