The next thing to be a big time player is proxies and email addresses. I'll post about proxies on another thread.

Email addresses are getting tougher to go by so we need to be more creative.

The first thing we want is one "main" email account we'll use for verification.

We'll then look for ways to create new email addresses, then forward that mail to our main account.

This way, we can use all sorts of other email addresses to use to create accounts with, but will only need a program to verify emails in one email account. It's much easier.

You want a main account that has pop, imap and web capabilities. You want it to be as flexible as possible.

You'll also want it to be very popular. Even though you are using proxies when you create the accounts, when you verify the emails, you're probably using your home IP and the click referals when you click a "verify" link will come from your home IP address, unless you changed it.

You also need to think about the host your email is on. There's safety in numbers. If you are creating 1000 Youtube accounts, it's better that the clicks come from a major service with tons of others than your own IP, either home or web.

And, I don't recommend Gmail. That's just giving Google too much info. Maybe they see tons of verify emails, get your IP, more info from the toolbar and use this info in some way?

I'm not being paranoid, but why take a chance if there are other options? So let's use a service that's NOT a search engine.

The email service that's popular, uses IMAP, POP, and web, and isn't a search engine is AOL.

I suggest you sign up for a free AOL account and use it for this purpose.

The other option for your main account that fits all our criteria I suggest is GMX.
http://gmx.com/

Now we need to create tons of email addresses. You can use them a few times each, and get more mileage if you stretch out using each.


Find free email forwarding services - Look for any and all free email forwarding services.

Buy domain names at registars that offer free wildcard * email forwarding. I like namecheap.com for this because they give free whois guard for the first year. (Then throw the domain away).

Try to get something generic for "mail", but it's hard and I've tried and tried. It takes some time. Something like mailmailtoo.com . No hyphens. Not good for email as they just don't look right and you don't want to stand out.

Set the domain up in your namecheap admin to forward all email (use * ) to your main account.

Any user you create at mailmailtoo.com will be forwarded to your main AOL account for verification.

Just make stuff up:
me@mailmailtoo.com
metoo@mailmailtoo.com
cowboyfantastic@mailmailtoo.com
ImNotKurtMelvin@mailmailtoo.com <= maybe not.

For many sites you can get away with this. After all, gmail.com, aol.com and yahoo.com are all just domain names with many different users, just like @mailmailtoo.com.

But there's that obvious footprint that links directly back to you, despite the WHOIS privacy guard. So don't do anything dumb. Get your money's worth, but don't get greedy.

If you aren't making enough to justify $10 for another domain name, then don't do what you've been doing any more.
