Step 1: Seed Articles Input Folder: Browse through your hard disk and select the folder where you want the software to extract information from. This folder should contain articles in TXT format which can be opened with notepad. Once you select the folder, article tool will detect all the TXT files and will list them below. Output Folder: This is where you want the output files to be extracted after you complete the whole manipulation process. Select Articles: You can select individually the articles (found in input folder) in the list which has been presented to you or you can select all by clicking on the Select All button. Note: provide as many files as possible so that the software will have a very large database of content from which it can pick information and your content will be more unique. There are 3 options presented on the right, you may select one or all 3 choices. It depends what you want to do. For the purpose of this tutorial I’ll choose all 3 so that you can see all the features that are presented in using this software. Swap articles: this allows you to interchange content from one article to another. So it will just pick up a few sentences or paragraph to build up a new one. Replace Synonyms: The software has a built in database of thousands of synonyms. If selecting this feature, you will allow the software to automatically substitute words with synonyms. You will also be able to set a % of change to the content. Insert Custom Text: This part allows you to enter multiple text and paragraphs that will be randomly entered at the top, middle and bottom of the articles. OK now remember, I select all 3 options. Consequently all the features of the software will be enable. Step 2: Swap Articles Prefix Keyword: This is the filename of individual files to be used once the articles are being created. Paragraphs per file: This refers to the number of paragraph you want each article to contain when created automatically. Articles to create: Refers to the number of articles to be created in total. Step 3: Synonym Manager You can select a group of synonyms that you may want to use to manipulate the content. You can add your own synonyms or even some group synonyms. You can select a few of them or select all of them. This part can be completely customized by you. Infact, this part is very important and will determine how good your output article will be. Providing an accurate “library” of words based on the article topics will greatly help in the quality of the output articles. Step 4: Replacement Level You can have multiple copies of the versions you want to create. Just enter a figure and they will be created. You also choose the % of the text to be manipulated. We recommend 15% for most cases. But if you have a very accurate synonyms list that you have personally added, you can go up 75%. But again, you’ll have to check it and see if everything is fine and the sentences are readable. Step 5: Keywords To Ignore These are keywords that you don’t want the software to change within the content. Those words will remain intact. You can enter as many as you want. Step 6: Insert Header, Middle and Footer This part is for the 3rd option selected in step 1. With this you can enter standard paragraphs which will be place at the top, middle and bottom of the articles. You can use ads and what ever content you wish to break the original article. Step 7: Insert Text Blocks… This is almost same as step 5 but instead it is more random. It adds multiple lines of text after one or 2 paragraph through out the whole article to make it unique. Step 8: You are done! Click the PROCESS NOW button and the articles will be created in the output folder you selected in step 1. |

1) Go to your cpanel url and enter your login info. Then go to MySQL database:
2) You can use a previous database or create a new database. In this sample I put “coupontest”. Remember that at the end your database will be something like: “XXXXX_coupontest”. Double check the name of the database once created. It differs for different hosting accounts.
3) Create a new user. I use “coupadmin” with password “coupadmin2k8″. Remember that at the end your user will be something like: “XXXXX_coupadmin”. XXXX will be replaced by something else.
4) Assign permissions in your database to your user. This can be done adding the user to the database with all checked.
5) Check that everything is ok, the user with all privileges to your database.
6) Go to PhpMyAdmin to create the tables.
7) Select the “XXXXX_coupontest” database and go to the SQL tab. Then copy and paste the sql script to create database structure. Then press Go.
9) Now we are ready customize the application. First install main application and go to the settings button.
10) Enter the settings. Pay special attention to the names of the database and user that have the prefix “XXXXX_” since this is the exact name in the Mysql server. Also check the site url, i.e. http://www.yourdomain.com/coupons. It means that you have to create a “coupons” folder in the root of your site. This folder will contain the necessary php scripts to make application work. The name could be other but you have to specify here and save settings.
11) When you save settings, application customize the coupsettings.php file. Then we need to upload this file and the other 2: couponsactions.php and coupinvalid.htm to your webserver in the folder you specify, in your case http://www.yourdomain.com/coupons. This is an screenshot of the ftp client software.
12) Now just upload the 3 files to this folder and we are done with the install!
13) Now let’s create a coupon for test. I generated a random code and let the settings as default, also put a sample discount order page.
14) As you can see the coupons was created, in a similar way you can edit and delete coupons. Application will exchange data with the database using the php scripts and settings you uploaded in previous steps.
15) Now let’s check the use of a coupon. Application generate a form code that user can put in his custom web pages.
16) Just copy and paste this code inside a sample html page in Deamweaver (user can use any html editor).
17) Now user just need to put this page in his site (could be an external site not the same where you put the “coupons” folder). This work like the optin software, just a web form that allow enter a code, if code is approved it will redirected to the Redirect URL associated with this coupon if fail it will go to the coupinvalid.htm that you upload. 18) User can track the statistics of the use of his coupons pressing the Statistics button in the main application. Of course need to have some data in the database. |
If everything is ok, you can check the tab Structure where you found the 2 tables created.
