Auto forum spamming software?

    I wanna post a message to many forums with a click of a button. I just want to register an account on the forum add the forum url to the software and have it post whatever message I want. I was thinking I could reigster to thousands of finance forums and post RELEVANT content on those forums with a backlink to the article (ie. on my site). I have do something similar to this but by hand and I found it to be moderately successful except that it is very time consuming to do. Anyone know any tools (preferably free) that can help me with this sort of thing? Otherwise I'll be forced to code my own software :/

    With the click of a button? Probably not gonna find it. Most automated submission tools like that normally don't work anymore. The closest you're going to get to automation is software that automatically goes from site to site and fills in the info for you. You will still have to do some work and this isn't completely automated.

    Oh dear god... please don't.

    Here's 2 reasons why:
    1) That's freaking annoying and does you NO good
    2) See reason #1

    I think most of the forums have captcha and have email verifications so it's much harder to code...

    Please stop making this or even look for it. I spend a lot of time preventing these things on my sites!

    yea that is why you manually create the accounts. Once the account is created you can keep comming back to just login and post a message. No captcha for that. most of the forums I post on are vbulletin forums so they are very similar in process.

    Sad truth is, spam works if you are promoting a website.

    I'm not really into spamming so I can't help you with the OP but I'd really implore you to not do this. Maybe it does help your page rank or SERP placement or whatever but it's really annoying for people who use forums. Plus, once people start noticing that your posts are automated, your website is going to start losing credibility.

    So, from both the ethical and marketing points of view, I think you're better off not spamming forums at all.

    you'll find that the moderators and admin of the sites you spam will help to spread the bad word about you. People will be going to those forums asking if yoursite.com is any good, and they will get the reply that you are a no good low life spammer that if willing to go against the site guidelines by spamming will likely cheat their customers as well.

    Now notice, I'm not saying that about you, but erm, if you resort to spamming, you'll be saying it about yourself.

    You'll also get banned from most of those forums, and there is a fair chance your IP will be logged...meaning if you are already a member, then they may notice and you may get banned, and if you are not a member, chances are you'll never be able to be... especially if you mention your site.

    If you want to promote your site, log in and do it the hard way...by being an actual part of the community.

    *thinking of all that hundreds of spammy: "Hi! Look what a great site www.blah-blah.com" that appeared on my site before I used a captcha*

    Please, repeat it after me: "Spam is bad, I will never spam".

    And try to understand that it is not a way to promote your site, your product or your service.

    Spammers no longer go scot free, such spammers normally used free hosting or cheap hosting, everytime I receive such in my forums, I send to the abuse dept of their hosts. Free Hosts especially are keen to get rid of such scums.

    ...In addition to all above, now most of the forums are using "nofollow" tags for links in the posts, so this will not help you with G. at all. Also if they got too mad at you, they could always click-bomb your site if you are publishing any ads so they'll get you banned = no check in the mail...
