1. "ModRewrite - Making Pages Using FatBomb"
 
LAST EDITED ON Oct-15-07 AT 04:38 AM (PST)
 
1. Open the redirector folder and find a file called:
.htaccess

Open .htaccess in a text editor such as TextPad or Notepad.

2. Find and edit this text to match your own set up:
cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=skin1&keywords=$1

Do NOT add your domain name...Just make sure the path to your fatbomb is correct.

3. Change:
skin=skin1

To:
skin=pageL (or pageLR or pageR, accordingly)

4. Check to see if your site has an exisiting .htaccess file in the root folder, where your homepage is.

If yes, download that .htaccess file and copy/paste the redirector code into it, making sure you keep all the existing info. Just paste the redirector info to the bottom.

If no .htaccess file exists, just upload the redirector .htaccess file.



RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(<^/>*)\.html$ /cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=skin1&keywords=$1


Again, NOTE the last line and modify the /cgi-bin/ path to match your setup.

Also NOTE: skin=skin1 You can change this parameter to match any skin you have in your Fatbomb/skins/ folder.

If this works, you can now create pages as fast as you can make keywords.

Here's what this does...Some comes to your site from a link and if that pages does NOT already exist, your server will make them a page using FatBomb.

While this is really "techy", if you get it set up, it's also very cool and VERY POWERFUL!!!

Follow this syntax and FatBomb will make pages on the fly based on your keywords:
www.your-domain.com/keywords.html
www.yourdomain/elvis.html
www.yourdomain.com/rolling-stones.html

I have this set up on my www.lubz.com site...

Make up your own keywords using this format and watch as Fatty makes pages on the fly:
www.lubz.com/richard-nixon.html
www.lubz.com/britney-spears.html
www.lubz.com/heart-disease.html

Bascially, just make links and your server and Fatty will make pages based on the keywords in the URL.

This is just one method of making pages with Fatty. I'll show you some other methods soon...


-Boom boom boom boom.

2. "PageBomb - Making Pages Using FatBomb Part II"
 
LAST EDITED ON Oct-15-07 AT 05:45 AM (PST)
 
First, download PageBomb here:
www.dombom.com/PageBomb4.zip

PageBomb can be used with just about any script on your domain that will return a search result. You can even mix and match multiple scripts on the same pages.

It produces pages that are a hybrid of dynamic pages and elements of static html.

This gives the best of both worlds, as the dynamic content is added automatically by the server, but each and every page can be edited individually. This is particularly potent for adding different navigation links to various pages.

The first thing you need to know is:
Does my dynamic source include an html header and footer?

If yes, you want to remove the html header/footer code from the template you're pasting into PageBomb...

Actually, you'll probably just need to use a single line of code to create each page...Something like:
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/search.cgi?keywords=<<key words>>" -->

This is for perl/cgi scripts. For php, it will look something like:
<?php include("search.php&query=<<key words>>"); ?>


If no, then paste in the html for any template. Make sure you allow room for your content.

PageBomb will recongnize two various keyword tags:


1. <<keywords>> - Inserts keywords using blank spaces between the words:

<title>George Washington</title>

Use this tag to do some basic SEO on your pages...Use it in the title tag, h1, h2 tages, etc.

2. <<key words>> - This inserts a sign inbetween each word. This is usually used for search queries:
George Washington

For use with Fatty, you'll want to use a tag similar to this in your pages:
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=skin1&keywords=<<key words>>" -->


Note: You won't be able to see any content while the pages are on your hard drive. You must upload them to your site first.

Also, you will need to include an htaccess file in the folder with your pages. It's easy, just:


Create a simple text file and name it: .htaccess

Paste this single line of text in it:
AddHandler server-parsed .html

And upload it. Don't forget it may "disapear" on your server after it's uploaded.

Or, if you have an existing .htaccess file, just add the one line of code to it.


When using PageBomb, you have two options:
1. Use the skin/temaplate that Fatty uses.

to do this, your SSI will look like:
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=skin1&keywords=<<key words>>" -->

You would choose your skin by modifying the skin "parameter" in the URL.

2. But what if you want to use an entirely different skin, where the search results are inserted into the template dynamically, but the rest of the template was static, so you could change it on a page by page basis?

Maybe you want to try repeating keywords in the title tag on some pages, but not all? You can't do this if the pages are entirely dynamic.

Or, you want to add dynamic elements from a second source, other than Fatty?

1. The first thing you will want to do is create a "blank" skin.

A. Open a text editor such as Textpad and insert this:
<!-- Top -->

B. Save it as:
blank.html

C. Upload blank.html to your Fatty skins folder.

2. Next, create your html template. This can be as fancy or as simple as you want. Just be sure to leave room for your content in your design.

3. Paste the HTML into PageBomb.

4. Do basic SEO. The PageBomb tag is different than Fatty's:
<<keywords>>

Use this tag your HTML:
page title
<h1>, <h2> tags
meta tags
...etc.

5. Insert the SSI tag. REMEMBER TO USE YOUR BLANK SKIN!!!
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=blank&keywords=<<key words>>" -->

6. Paste in your list of keywords and make some pages!

Summary:

If you just want to make some quick pages and can't get the modrewrite to work for you, just enter the SSI tag with the skin you want in PageBomb plus your keywords and NOTHING ELSE:
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=skin1&keywords=<<key words>>" -->

If you want more control over each page, use the "blank" skin, then add the html code to PageBomb.


-Boom boom boom boom.

3. "Using WINHTTRACK to Make Pages with FatBomb Part III"
 
The first method we used "mod rewrite" and an .htaccess file to create dynamic pages. "Dynamic" means the server creates the page each time it is visited.

This is good because any changes you make to the resources used, such as different engines, weights, data files, etc, will be used immediately.

However, this takes a lot of server resources, especially with busy sites.

Also, every skin/template is the same. You can't vary what's in your navigation columns, etc.

The next strategy using PageBomb is a hybrid, it uses part dynamic elements and part static elements.

It allows you to customize many part of the pages on a page by page basis, while still adding dynamic content..

This method is good in that it greatly reduces server strain and allows you to modify each and every page individually. Later on, I'll show you how to use TUELZ to do some amazing things will these static pages.

The draw back is, if you want to change something, you have to make changes to all the pages. If you want to use different resources, you'll have to regenerate all the pages again.

The modrewrite/redirector .htaccess file strategy oulined in the first post must be working!!!

We'll use a totally FREE program called HTTRACK:
http://www.httrack.com/

What it is, is a page "sucker". It will take a list of URLs and "suck" them to your hard drive.

In our case, we're going to make a list of all of the URLs to the pages we want to create, then have HTTRACK suck them to our hard drive.

Once they are on our hard drive, we can upload them to any domain we want. This way, you only have to install Fatty once, and can use it to build pages for domain after domain after domain!

5. "Can SE's ban fatbomb for scraping?"
 
   Hi Kurt,

Thanks for responding to my other question. I have another along the same lines.

Some of the page builder scripts I've used will get banned by a search engine while scraping.

In my last post I mentioned throwing up a page with 1000 links pointing to my fatbomb install. When the spiders hit that link page and start spidering all those links... fatbomb will start scraping 1000 times...

When this happens, is it possible for the SE's to temporarily ban the IP and therefore there will be no results for fatty? And if yes, then what does fatty do?

Thx again,
John

6. "RE: Can SE's ban fatbomb for scraping?"
 
Hi John,

Most engines have a tolerance of 1000 per day. If one engine doesn't return result, Fatty will ignore it, depending on the time out parameter that was set in the admin.

I actually have a blackhat desktop program I created a while back that scrapes the results from your PC and then uploads them to Fatty, so your home IP can be used.

Problem is, it's 4 years old and I haven't used it in ages so I don't know if it still works or not...If there's enough folks interested, speak up, and I'll look into it some more.

Side note: If you find Fatty "hanging", check to see if you have ODP selected...It can be notoriously slow, and even unreachable.


-Boom boom boom boom.

7. "RE: 4 Making Pages Using FatBomb"
 
   Kurt,

Reading one of your other threads, I realized something, I think.

You spoke of articles.

Well, like before, I have hundreds of tips, paragraph size that could loaded up into fatbomb, to create hundreds of unique pages and searches, especially niche.

8. "RE: 4 Making Pages Using FatBomb"
 
Hey Kelvin,

I've also thought about articles a lot and how to use them with Fatty.

Thing is, I haven't come up with a way of automating it, or even making it semi-automatic.

The strategy also depends on what type of rights you have for the content.

Even though I don't have the "perfect solution" yet, I'll post some strategies that may stimulate someone else...Some of them will only take a couple of hours of labor, in case someone doens't mind.

Kelvin said:
>>Well, like before, I have hundreds of tips, paragraph size that could loaded up into fatbomb, to create hundreds of unique pages and searches, especially niche.

In this case, it's farily easy...Put them all in a text file, then get each "chunk" on a line.

In Textpad, select each chunk and ctrl j (join lines).

Once you're finished, Open Tuelz=>Linez Tuel and prefix each line with:
||

The "normal" FatBomb format is:
URL|Title|The description goes here...

We can leave the URL and TITLE blank, but both should be blank and not one of the other. This leaves us with just content and no links:

||The description goes here...

Quick Note: You can use html in the description if you choose.

This will work very well for Kelvin's situation. Kelvin can jack up the weight of this database so that these tips are listed first, then use some of the scraper resources to fill out the pages.

Kelvin could even do some "spinning" and substitute different keywords and come up with multiple versions of each "chunk".

Now, let's say you have some PLR articles or other content you own, such as your own...You could split them into chunks as describe above.

Or, you can post them on another site(s) of your's. Then use the URL and TITLE, then still split them into chunks.

Put each chunk title URL into seperate text databases and upload to Fatty. This is actually a very effective search relevancy techinque. If an article is spread between multiple databases, the articles that have the keyword in the most databases will score a higher rank, due to the "frequency" bonus.

Since keywords were found in multiple chunks, it means the article had the keywords throughout the entire article, and not just in one paragraph.

Make sense?

The above strategy can also be used for articles that come from places like Ezine Articles and is a good, legit way to dedoop articles, as well as build links to the articles on your sites.

First, post the article in its entirety on one of your sites, including resource box.

Then, "chunk it" into 5 or more text database files, using a paragraph or so in each file.

EACH chunk will need to be in this format:
URL to Full Article|Title|Chunk

Now, different chunks will come up with the use of diffent keywords, and each chunk will be mixed and matched with other stuff and scraped resources, creating a unique mixture of content and words.

And here's the final method: WARNING I HAVEN'T TRIED THIS. EXPERIMENT AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Let's say you have a bunch of PLR articles in text files, and each article also uses html to at least seperate paragraphs.

Put each in a text database file of it's own and upload to Fatty.

In theory, you could have 500 text database files. Again, I haven't tested Fatty to check its capacity for tons of text databases.

But if this works, also in theory, instead of using the Fatty admin to accept each database one at a time, you could open the fatbomb/data/config.dat file in a text editor and enter all the databases that way.

Those that have mastered the Replacez Tuel could probably do this very quickly.

Fatty gives you tons of ways to mix and match content...It isn't limited to just scraping outside resoruces by any means.

I encourage everyone to spend some time on an ongoing basis and develope your own content/databases over time. This is how to create content that's truly one of a kind and of decent-good quality.



-Boom boom boom boom.

9. "Mastering The URL"
 
A Fatty search will produce a long URL using different "parameters". A parameter is just a command to tell Fatty what to display.

We can change the keywords, the skin used, the starting point of the results, and the total number of results, all just using the parameters in the URL.

Everything to the RIGHT of the URL is a parameter, with each seperated by the "&" sign.

Here's a typical Fatty URL:
http://dombom.com/cgi-bin/fbs/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?keywords=elvis&skin=skin2&start=0&length=20

This part is the URL:
http://dombom.com/cgi-bin/fbs/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?

What's leftover are the parameters:
keywords=elvis&skin=skin2&start=0&length=20

And let's break each of these down:

keywords=elvis - This is obviously our keywords. Change it, and we change the content.

skin=skin2 - This will change the look and feel. We cover skins in a different thread...but each skin can have diffent "navigation links" and that will also vary the content somewhat.

start=0 - this parameter tells Fatty which result to start at. 0 actually means to start with the very first results. If you enter "10", the first result will be the resource that was listed 11th in the SERPs.

length=20 The length attribute tells Fatty how many links/resources to list with each results.

Combining the start and the length and using them in with different numbers can create tons of different opportunities.

Instead of having one "elvis" page with 20 results, let's make 4 different pages with 5 results:

start=0&length=5
start=5&length=5
start=10&length=5
start=15&length=5

We may want to vary the length, so some pages are short and others are long. This gives us more variety for the search engines...Maybe they like long pages this week, and short next...

Also depending on the kewords used, most Fatty SERPs will return a bunch of results. Think about how you can use the "start" and "length" parameters to squeeze lots of pages out of a single search.

Remember, it often takes Fatty just as much "power" to create one page about Elvis as it does to create dozens, if you know how to use and exploit the "start" and "length" paramters.

Copy this URL and paste it into your browser's address bar. Then mess around with the attributes. Change the skin from 1-10 and change the start and the length.
http://dombom.com/cgi-bin/fbs/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?keywords=elvis&skin=skin2&start=0&length=20

I don't have many engines selected at this time, but if I had a few more, you'd see an even bigger difference in content that can be generated from a single keyword.


-Boom boom boom boom.

10. "RE: Mastering The URL"
 
   Kurt,

I was thinking of using the chunks like you showed me before.

This time with a small twist.
First assuming ( and i do) that I have 20 different PLR ebooks all on some topic of IM ( other niches apply).

Let's say I can quickly get 30 chunks per book: That gives me 600 IM chunks to work with.

Now, I need to signup with affiliate programs appropriate for each of the 20 PRS.

For example if one is on using youtube. THen I might go to clickbank, and find a youtube product that pays well. Every chunk of the youtube PLR would have a URL pointing to the youtube clickbank product.


Now, later I find a different product to promote, i can do find and replace, on the the affiliate URL I added.

Now, Kurt you know how I like to so live samples.

Do you want that in your membership site? Or others areas? Or at all?

This is very powerful!

The searches are made "on the fly"

So you could have a "menu" with all the keyword searches ready for the user to just click"

www.your-domain.com/keywords1.html
www.your-domain.com/keywords2.html
www.your-domain.com/keywords3.html

Too Cool!

Thanks and blessings,

Hey Ed...

Yes, it's both cool and very powerful.

Now, let's take the next step:

Create a new directory/folder in the "root" directory of you website.

Make two simple modifications to your htaccess file:

Here's the base URL:
/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=skin1&keywords=$1

Change /cgi-bin/ to:

.../cgi-bin/

Change skin1 to skin2

This gives us:
.../cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=skin2&keywords=$1

What we've done is tell your server that any requests made for the second directory to use a different skin.

In other words, if you make links like this:
www.YourDomain.com/elvis-presley.html - Your server will use skin #1

If you make links like this:
www.YourDomain.com/NewFolder/elvis-presley.html - Your server will make pages using skin #2.

Let's say you have a site about sports. Your home directory would be about all sports in general and your skin would list links to:
baseball
basketball
boxing
tennis
golf

Next, create a new "golf" folder, modify the htaccess/mod rewrite file as above, create a skin called "golf.html", and refer to it in your htaccess as:
.../cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=golf&keywords=$1

Now, create a "golf" skin, including more specific links to other golf related keywords:
Tiger Woods
golf clubs
PGA
...etc.

Repeat with all other major sports:
Make new folder
Make new skin with relative links
Modify htaccess to call that skin
Upload htaccess to that folder
Upload new skin to the Fatty skins folder

This may take an hour to learn, then 10 minutes to repeat and you can pump out pages and pages and pages.

Now, let's say you have 1000 "pages". If you put 10 external links to your other sites on each page, you have 10,000 linking opportunities.

Master these concepts and you'll be able to compete with the real SEOers and blackhatters.

Hey Ed...

I'm putting you in charge of testing this...I did it off the top of my head and there may be a problem...You're perfect for this, as you have basic web skills. So if you can do this, so can everyone else.


-Boom boom boom boom.

   OK. Here is what I found....

Please take a look at http://sports.acquirewisdom.com

>Now, let's take the next step:
>
>Create a new directory/folder in the "root" directory of you
>website.

These are the directories you want,... ie. golf, boxing, judo, etc.

>
>Make two simple modifications to your htaccess file:
>
>Here's the base URL:
>/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=skin1&keywords=$1
>
>Change /cgi-bin/ to:
>
>.../cgi-bin/

A couple of notes:

1. you MUST have a .htaccess in each of the folders you create.
2. The rename like Kurt mentions, didn't work on my server. I tried multiple ways. What WORKED was to have the full domain path... ie http://sports.acquirewisdom.com/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=skin1&keywords=$1

>
>Change skin1 to skin2

To keep things in "order" I call the skins baseball.html, boxing.html, etc.

>
>This gives us:
>.../cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=skin2&keywords=$1
>
>What we've done is tell your server that any requests made
>for the second directory to use a different skin.
>
>In other words, if you make links like this:
>www.YourDomain.com/elvis-presley.html - Your server will use
>skin #1
>
>If you make links like this:
>www.YourDomain.com/NewFolder/elvis-presley.html -
>Your server will make pages using skin #2.
>
>Let's say you have a site about sports. Your home directory
>would be about all sports in general and your skin would
>list links to:
>baseball
>basketball
>boxing
>tennis
>golf
>
>Next, create a new "golf" folder, modify the htaccess/mod
>rewrite file as above, create a skin called "golf.html", and
>refer to it in your htaccess as:
>.../cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=golf&keywords=$1
>
>Now, create a "golf" skin, including more specific links to
>other golf related keywords:
>Tiger Woods
>golf clubs
>PGA
>...etc.
>

You can see on my site this is exactly what I did.

Some notes:

1. If you use CSS for your html, then you need to create multiple css files. One for each skin. I had to do this because the link to pictures are in the CSS file not hard coded into the html.

2. Using a generic template, like the one I used allows for very fast modification using tuelz (pages, namez, replacez).

For example, if you have 3 pictures in the html.

a. Then name then picz1.jpg, picz2.jpg, picz3.jpg.
b. run replacez to replace picz with baseball, boxing. etc.
c. make sure to select "by page" in replacez
d. also make sure your real pics are named appropriately like
baseball1.jpg, baseball2.jpg
e. using this method, you could change 1000s of pics literally in
seconds!

3. The most time is in creating a generic template so you can do #2 above. But once it's done, 1000s of pages very quickly.

4. Keeping images and styles in the root folder makes it easier to use tuelz because then the replacez, etc can be done just on that folder.

5. REMEMBER to keep your MASTER template somewhere apart from where you will run the tuelz! Or else it will replace all your stuff!

I hope this helps. Let me know any questions you have.

By the way, I leave the country for some missionary work on Tuesday October 29 and will return the 19th of November. So communications will be limited during that time.

Blessings,

Ed

That is what I've been trying to do but haven't succeeded yet.

I didn't know you had to place a .ataccess file in each created folder.

Thanks....

   Kurt,

I'm wanting to use a php include but in the Fatty2 zip file I do not have a php version of the file only a cgi so the instructions above are not working for me as I can't get my server to recognise SSI's.

How do I utilise the php ( search.php ) file as above ?

Many thanks

Jeff

   Kurt,

I'm just following your instructions as above which state:-

===================================
Actually, you'll probably just need to use a single line of code to create each page...Something like:
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/search.cgi?keywords=<<key words>>" -->

This is for perl/cgi scripts. For php, it will look something like:
<?php include("search.php&query=<<key words>>"); ?>
===================================

I thought there may be something I was missing as you seem to state that there is a cgi and php version of the file.

I'll stay confused for now then, perhaps the instructions should remove the references to PHP code if this is not available. Sure got me confused.

Jeff

Jeff,

Those directions are for using PageBomb, which is the post you are referencing, and the sentence you quoted is for php and not specific to FatBomb, as PageBomb is NOT limited to making pages using Fatty.

If using Pagebomb is confusing to you, don't use it. That should simplify things for you.

PS Jeff...Here's the ENTIRE context of the php reference...The directions leading up to the PHP reference.

First, download PageBomb here:
www.dombom.com/PageBomb4.zip

PageBomb can be used with just about any script on your domain that will return a search result. You can even mix and match multiple scripts on the same pages.

It produces pages that are a hybrid of dynamic pages and elements of static html.

This gives the best of both worlds, as the dynamic content is added automatically by the server, but each and every page can be edited individually. This is particularly potent for adding different navigation links to various pages.

The first thing you need to know is:
Does my dynamic source include an html header and footer?

If yes, you want to remove the html header/footer code from the template you're pasting into PageBomb...

Actually, you'll probably just need to use a single line of code to create each page...Something like:
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/search.cgi?keywords=<<key words>>" -->

This is for perl/cgi scripts. For php, it will look something like:
<?php include("search.php&query=<<key words>>"); ?>




-Boom boom boom boom.

Hi Mao,

Your file path for mod rewrite appears to be correct. I would ask your host if they have the server configured to allow for mod rewrite, not all servers are.

You can also try: (wohtout the leading / )
cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=skin1&keywords=$1

BTW, what error/results did you get? This info is always helpful. Instead of saying something "doesn't work', please post what the results were.

PageBomb doesn't make scripts, it makes .html pages. They can be uploaded "anywhere", however you will need to adjust the path the SSI tag used depending on where (what folder) you upload them.

I'm pretty sure it works because I remember doing it before for some other scripts

tried without the leading / . Gives the same 404 page not found error as before.

Sorry, I should have been more clearer. So the way is to create the pages first using the pagebomb template and then upload in folders I want?. The Pagebomb files (unzipped) need not be uploaded ?

If this doesn't work, I really don't know what to tell you, other than to use a smimilar syntax that you used with your other scripts.

PageBomb isn't a template, it's a desktop program that makes html pages using templates. However, when using with Fatty you can dynamically use Fatty's templates by using SSI tags.

In this case, all you need to do is enter the SSI tag in the template box and a list of keywords. After the pages are made, upload them AND the htaccess file to your site.

It's finally working.

I went on trying but no luck.

Then I contacted my webhost though I was pretty sure mode-rewrite is on. They showed me a simple example that proved mod-rewrite was working.

I tried to post here, but found the site was down.

Not knowing what to do next, I once again opened the "redirector" folder of Fatty 1.0 I downloaded and check the script.

Hmmmm

Instead of

RewriteRule ^(<^/>*)\.html$ /cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=pageR&keywords=$1

which I copied from the first post here, it contained this:

RewriteRule ^(<^/>*)\.html$ /cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=pageR&keywords=$1

Changing that <> to <> was all that was needed.

Any noob reading this and trying Fatty 1.0 may take notice of this.

I'm now going to get Fatty 2.0

   Hi,

Needs some help here. Just tried install fatty2 and I am stucked at making pages. Whenever I try http://www.mydomain.com/test.html I will get error:

FatBomb
Software Error

The directory 'data/cache/dmoz-13823' does not exist at lib/Gamma/Cache.pm line 57

OR

The directory 'data/cache/google-13823' does not exist at lib/Gamma/Cache.pm line 57.

I don't see any /cache/ folder inside data folder. Is the folder supposed to be created automatically by fatbomb? Any idea what could go wrong?.

Hey Tuanka,

My cache folder is located in mysite.com/cgi-bin/fatbomb/data/cache

I cannot remember if it was created automatically, or if I added the folder in while installing, but I did check the script to see if it is the FatBomb folder.

It is in there, so my guess is that it should have been uploaded with all the other files.

If it isn't in your data folder, try adding a folder marked "cache" to see if this helps.

Btw, you might want to post FatBomb installation questions in the FatBomb 1.0 or 2.0 version threads, depending on what version you are working with.

That thread may have some info in it for you too.

   Kurt,

I just noticed a problem.

This is an installation of Fatty 1.0 .

When I create the page like http://www.biztoolvault.com/articlemarketing.html

Fatty is creating the page Fine.

But when I click on the <<next page>> instead of showing the next 20 pages it is taking to the homepage of the site.

Didn't check this before. Just found out this now. What have I done wrong?

Hey Tusanku,

Great to hear you got things working!

I know I've had that problem when using FTP client before, and the best way to fix it is to do what you've done....reinstall it.

It usually works like a charm.

Btw, you are welcome.

Mou,

This has to do with modrewrite and I'm not sure of the fix. You need to either use on of the page skins or remove the "next" page tag from the skin you are using.

I posted what each tag is on another thread. You may also have to remove an "end" tag. Back up your skin and mess around with the tags, it's good to experiement.

Hi Kurt,

As we are nearing the end of this months tutorial and Fatty information, I was just wondering if the people here could take a quick look at my implementation to see if I'm on the right tracks with Fatty before progressing to the other tools.

Here's the site I've been incorporating the tools into:-

http://www.DogTreatsRevealed.com

On the navigation menu you will see 2 items, "Dog Search Engine" and "Dog Treat Links", both are fatty and integrated into the existing template of the site. One is using the search engine technique, the other is using the links technique.

Seems to work OK .... Just need a second opinion on the implementation to make sure I'm on the right tracks.

Regards

jeff

   It looks really good Jeff.

Is there a way that you could put in your affiliate links for the dog treat links??
Is there a way to do that with FatBomb, Kurt?? Or should some other tuelz be used for it?

It would be really good that way!!

Really,nice.
I will be showing you my site soon. I am working on it.

bye,
faraz

Hi Jeff,

Looks good. The biggest change I'd make is to include the links you put here:
http://www.dogtreatsrevealed.com/links.php

And put them in your Fatty template, either on the left or bottom of the page so you get some cross-linking.

I'd also select more "LSI friendly" keywords. All/most of your keywords contain "food". I'd mix it up more and use keywords such as:
dog training collars
dog breeders
puppy health care
pet supplies
etc..

In other words, vary your keyword selection a little more, using some LSI related research.

Next, I'd use a different selection of keywords, change the Fatty resoruces and make some static pages. Put these pages on other domains/IPs and link to your "other" pages.


-Boom boom boom boom.

Hi Faraz...

Just create a custom text database containing any affiliate links in Fatty Format:

url|Title|Description

"SEO" the links by making sure you use a lot of relevant keywords...Upload it and tell Fatty where it is "at" and give it a high weight so these links will appear at the top of the SERPs.

You put whatever you want into the database file, which is the whole point.

Want affiliate links? Put affiliate links.

Want high quality, hand picked links, use them.

Want to put links to your own pages and sites? Do it.

Just upload the .htaccess file to your root/main web directory.

   Hi Kurt,
Thanks for the reply.
I have been able to make it work now.

These seem to be working okay now:

--http://www.silentarrow.com/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?keywords=elvis&skin=skin1&start=0&length=20

and http://www.silentarrow.com/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?keywords=elvis&skin=pageLR&start=0&length=20

But when I try to make pages on the fly and put in
http://www.silentarrow.com/test
OR http://www.silentarrow.com/elvis , then I get a 404 Page Not Found error.

I also get a 500 internal server error when I try to access these pages.
http://www.silentarrow.com/cgi-bin/fatbomb/skins/skin1.html
http://www.silentarrow.com/cgi-bin/fatbomb/skins/pageLR.html
(I just told you this because it might be relevant to this problem)

How do I make it work?

bye,
faraz

1. Did you upload the .htaccess file to your root web folder?

2. If yes, are you sure your host allows modrewrite?

You don't need to access the skins directly through your browser.

If you access them using modrewrite or SSI, you just use:
skin1
skin2
pageLR

Don't use the .html extension:

cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=skin1&keywords=$1

cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=skin2&keywords=$1

cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=pageLR&keywords=$1

Yes, I uploaded the .htaccess file to my root folder.

My host is hostgator and I am not sure if it allows modrewrite. How do I check?

I didnt want to access it. I just told you this info because I thought this might give you some idea about the problem.

It's probably best that you email/contact support and ask. Tell them what you're trying to do and they may find the error, if there is one. But make sure they have mod-rewrite enabled before trying to trouble shoot...

Just copy this:

Hi,

Is modrewrite enabled? I uploaded an .htaccess file to my root directory calling this script:
http://www.silentarrow.com/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?keywords=elvis&skin=skin1&start=0&length=20

...And I'm trying to get it to work as:
www.silentarrow.com/elvis.html

Can you help?

Okay, I talked to their live support now and they said that mod rewrite is available but that I should send an email for further assistance.So,I just sent them an email.

   Hi kurt,
I just received their reply.
I have pasted it below:
--------------------------------------------------------
Hello,

I apologize but we do not provide assistance with mod_rewrite scripting. It is
enabled on all servers and working as normal.
------------------------------------------------------------

The only thing that I learnt from it is that mod rewrite is enabled on the servers.
Dont know what else is wrong.
bye,
faraz

Hi Faraz,

I don't know what else to tell you, either.

You can try this tool to create the modrewrite to see if it works:
http://www.seochat.com/seo-tools/url-rewriting/


If that doesn't work you can send me $20 and I"ll have my tech expert (Kirill) look at it, and/or you can use PageBomb. (see earlier posts on this thread).

1. Download PageBomb (see above)

2. Add this ssi tag to the template box:

<!--#include virtual="cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?keywords=<<key words>>&skin=skin1&start=0&length=20"-->

You can change the skin , start and length atributes.

3. Add a bunch of keywords to the keyword box.

4. Create an htaccess file:
htaccess

Create a simple text file and name it: .htaccess

Paste this single line of text in it:
AddHandler server-parsed .html

And upload it. Don't forget it may "disapear" on your server after it's uploaded.

5. Upload the pages PageBomb creates, along with the htaccess file to your root directory/folder.

If you upload them to a sub folder, you will need to change the SSI tag you enter in PageBomb.

   Hey Kurt,
Its finally working.
It was a problem with the bracket.
I was using these brackets <> in the htaccess file while I was supposed to use the other one.
I just changed it and it worked.
Take a look http://www.silentarrow.com/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?keywords=federer&skin=skin1&start=0&length=20

and http://www.silentarrow.com/federer.html

Now, I just need to find out how to put something in the left and right columns. Is it a skins thing or a template thing, I dont know.I will go and check the skins thread now.

bye,
faraz

That's the exact problem I also faced and mentioned it in an earlier post in this thread.

However I've still not been able to work the <<next page>> link. Once I click it I'm being taken to the home page.

Mou,

I had exactly the same problem and managed to resolve it. If you hover your mouse over one of the result pages at the bottom of the page i.e.

Result page: <1><2><3><4><5><6><7><8><9>Next »

And look at the URL in the bottom corner of your browser, that will give you clue as to whats going on. There's something not quite right with the template or the .htaccess file that needs tweaking.

http://www.biztoolvault.com/?skin=dogs&keywords=articlemarketing&start=80&length=20

As you can see, you are missing the link to the script, you should have something like:-

http://www.biztoolvault.com/search.cgi/?skin=skin3&keywords=articlemarketing&start=80&length=20

The "search.cgi" ( or whatever you called the script ) part is missing from the link.

If you PM me your FTP and domain details I'll go in and take a look for you if you like.

Regards

Jeff

The way I solved it was to find this line in the skin file ( i.e. skin3.html or whatever skin you have chosen, it should be around line 92 or 93 ):-

<a href="./?skin=<% form.skin as url %>&keywords=<% form.keywords as url %>&start=<% page.start %>&length=<% page.length %>"><% if[P>

You see the bit at that beginning that says:-

<a href="./?skin=

You need to add the path to your fatty cgi file there. So in my
case I altered it to:-

<a href="search.cgi/?skin= ..................................

Hope that makes sense.

Jeff

   Hi Jeff,

Thanks a lot. Your solution worked great for the search.

However I'm finding another problem on updating the "skin3.html" page

If you check this page http://biztoolvault.com/test.html

I've used both the "search" and some keywords link like "keyword1.html" "keyword2.html" etc.

When I click the keyword.html , the first page is coming up fine but, pn clicking <1><2><3> or <<next>> I'm getting 404 error. Basically the url now being shown for these keyword pages as

http://www.biztoolvault.com/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=skin3&keywords=internet-business-ideas&start=20&length=20

instead of

http://www.biztoolvault.com/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=skin3&keywords=internet-business-ideas&start=20&length=20

Any idea ho to solve this?

Thanks a lot,
Mou

Jeff,

I tried this before already. It works, but something is not quite right.

If you go to your dog site, try click page 2, then click page 3. If you look at the url, it gets longer and longer.

For eg search.cgi/search.cgi/?skin=

It gets longer if you click on further pages, but the search results show up fine though..

Is there another way to this? Perhaps using .htaccess?

Christopher

Yes I saw that too, but as per as the search results go they were fine.

Also do you have any solution for the other problem I mentioned above?

Mou,

did you change the codes in your template like what Jeff taught? If you did, i think you put in the wrong code.

You should put /cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi

The links now in http://www.biztoolvault.com/articlemarketing.html point to a wrong url that causes 404 errors..

your .htaccess is correct though..

Kurt,

I've been working on this. And everything seems to be working absolutely as you have written.

Only one thing...

If someone tries to access http://www.domain.com/golf --- in this case the page is just throwing up the 'golf' skin. What should be done for this? index.html page inside golf folder? What should that page contain ?

other than that http://www.domain.com/golf/Tiger_woods.html and other pages on the fly are working perfectly

69. "Where do the static html pages reside?"
 
   Kurt,

The answer may be so obvious that I can't see it, but where are the static pages we create for Fatbomb kept on the domain and how does FB find them when a search for the keyword is invoked?

Are they all kept under the root (public_html) directory or in the cgi-bin where fatbomb resides?

Thanks

Ernie

Hi Ernie...

If you're talking about pages using modrewrite/htaccess, they aren't really "static" pages, they are dynamic and generated on the fly...We use the modrewrite to make them look like they are static html pages.

So the answer to your question is: Neither.

If you want to convert them to "real" static pages, download the free program HTTRACK and it will "suck" the pages to your hard drive.

It's best if you enter a URL into HTTRACK for each page you want to create.

Here's how:

Make a list of keywords and paste them into the Linez Tuel.

Find:
(blank spaces)

Replace:
- (hyphen)

this should add a hypen to all multi-word phrases.

Suffix each line with:
.html

Prefix each line with:
http://YourDomain.com/

This should give you a long list of URLs, one per keyword.

Paste the list into HTTRACK and start "sucking".

Somewhere in HTTRACK there's a way to limite the speed of the process...I recommend you slow it down so you don't brring down your server.

Using this technique, you can create tons and tons and tons of static pages with a single install of Fatty.

Once they are on your hard drive, you can edit them, SEO them, cross-link them, using various Tuelz (which we'll get into soon), then upload them to a variety of hosts.

You can even use the same keyword/URL list, just log into your Fatty admin each time and tweak the resources you use, which results in pages with different content.

Repeat.
Repeat.
Repeat...


-Boom boom boom boom.

   Kurt,

I understand everything you've laid out above, my question is more simple.

What location/directory to I put the pages I've sucked down using HTTrack?

I have pulled down roughly 100 pages around various keywords and am SEOing them using your techniques, just don't know what location on a server to upload them to once I'm down.

Ernie

Hi Ernie,

Put them wherever you want...

You can even put them in your root directory. Modrewrite will still work with every keyword that doesn't have a page.

Only problem is if you want to make new pages with the same keywords, HTTRACK will suck down the same static pages. In this case you may want to make s sub-folder for htaccess to be used only for sucking pages.

   Kurt,

Another question.

If I create static pages (and SEO them) for most of my precanned searches can FB find them (or what do I need to do so it can) if I put them in "themed" directories?

Example: put all the static Dalmatian breed pages in a www.mydomain.com/dalmatian directory.

It would help me keep things organized better and on the sites I "themed" this way all have better rankings in Google.

Ernie

Hi Ernie,

Fatty doesn't need to find them after they have been converted to static.

Just download each them to its own folder, then run Tuelz on each/every folder as needed.
