"General Guide to Directory Projects and Using Tuelz and Bombs"

Please refer to the ReadME for detailed "how to" info:
http://tuelz.com/readme/readme-zz.html

This post is more "theory" and will try to give you some ideas of how to best use ZZ.

I believe "Directory Projects" are easier to learn, so let's start with them.

"Directory Projects" take a directory (folder) of pages we call "templates" and adds RSS pheed content to the templates based on special tags you put in your pages.

ZZ "templates" can be anything, such as html, shtml, and even php or asp. And you can use a little of some and a lot of another, mixing each type in the same project.

The the key to the "Directory Projects" is to have a lot of templates (pages) in the first place, then knowing and applying a little SEO.

These "templates" should be pages that have already been created and have content, let's say you have taken 30 articles from EzineArticles.com and added them to web pages.

ZZ Tuel can add and update RSS pheeds on each page, to help dedoop articles, as well as update the page.

There's a number of ways we can get this done, I'll give a general plan that ties in a few of the recent concepts...

Need: PageBomb (or Pagez), ZZ Tuel, Keymapz, Bakerz

Create pages using PageBomb, but instead of using the SSI tag, use the ZZ tag.

SSI:
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/blogbomb.cgi?keywords=<<key+words>>&results=5"-->

ZZ:
{{keywords=<<key+words>>&items=5&mode=exact}}

Be sure to save these pages to your project's "templates" folder.

Of course, you will need enough pheeds entered into The Newz Tuel to cover your keywords searches to make sure you have content for your pages.

Next, we need a linking structure. Keymapz can be used at two different times for varied results: Before ZZ adds content or After.

If you run Keymapz Before, Keymapz will have fewer words to look at, causing fewer pages to be indexed. This can be good if you have a lot of pages.

On the other hand, letting ZZ add content, THEN running Keymapz allows for many more possibilities. Just remember, this content will change in the future and your Keymapz linking may no longer "match".

If you want supreme control, you can turn "Auto Upload" to off, run Keymapz after each update, then upload your pages.

Keymapz will probably miss a page or two, so you may want to add some Backerz links as a discrete way to get your pages linked with out the old fashioned site maps.

For those that want to go the extra step, Run Backerz in 4 or five different processes, adding different pages to the input form each time.

Both of these styles (Backerz and Keymapz) produce a more "organic" linking structures than other page makers.

Now, you have pages that update fairly regularly and are super fast, with a more natural linking system.

Run Replace/Randomz or ReplaceBomb and miz up some of the keywords, alt tags, etc.

Set ZZ's Scheduler to update a few times a month, back-up, find another cheap host and repeat.
