Wordpress Super Bulk Post Maker SBPM Version 2 April 2013 By Tao Schencks http://www.wp-sbpm.com
What is SBPM? SBPM = "Super Bulk Post Maker". SBPM is a plugin for Wordpress that allows you to quickly and easily create posts with unique content, titles, categories and settings. SBPM is the perfect plugin for creating product posts, "thin sites" and for creating multi-post blogs with ease. SBPM uses several unique tools and functions that will help you create the perfect Wordpress blog in minutes. Using content in the popular "spintax" format, you can quickly create hundreds or thousands of posts with unique titles, post names, content and properties. The new custom variables that SBPM allows you to create in version 2 will allow you to make all manner of exciting sites with unique content. If you want to update existing blog posts, SBPM will also automatically detect these and update them rather than creating a new post with a new URL. SBPM will also help you by automatically creating a "Contact Us" and "Privacy Policy" at the click of a button - perfect for making those pages you often forget. SBPM will also make all of your posts when you push the button, or schedule them with a user defined gap between each posting date and time. This is ideal for making blogs that grow over time - perfect for keeping the search engines interested in your pages. How To Install SBPM: 1. Log in to your Wordpress administration screen. 2. Click "Add New" under the "Plugins" menu item. 3. Select the "Upload" link. 4. Click the "Choose File" button and browse to the location of the sbpm.zip file you have been provided with and double click it. 5. Click "Install Now". 6. The plugin will be uploaded and placed in the correct location. 7. Click "Activate Plugin". 8. A menu item called "SBPM" will now be accessible under the "Settings" menu in Wordpress. If you are upgrading from an old version of SBPM, delete the plugin from Wordpress first. No data will be lost during this process. When you upload the new version, the old data will be imported into the SBPM screen, ready to use.
The SBPM Options Screen:
Using The SBPM Options Screen: Note: On each panel, clicking the [?] link next to the title will show a lightbox detailing the information, settings and capabilities of that section. Use this to get more information about what you can do with SBPM. 1. Pre and Post Title Options Panel: Using the Pre and Post Title Options box, you can add additional words to the beginning or end of each post title. For example, if you added "Buy" in the before box and "now!" in the After box, and asked SBPM to make posts called red widgets, blue widgets and pink widgets, the posts titles would become: Buy red widgets now! Buy blue widgets now! Buy pink widgets now! You can also use spintax in these fields too to create random post titles. For example: Before: {Buy Get Cheap Bargain} After: {now! here on sale for sale} The 3 posts we used in the earlier example might turn out like: Get red widgets for sale Buy blue widgets here Bargain pink widgets on sale Using the power of spintax, you can make many different post titles quickly and easily.
2. Keywords / Post Names Panel: In this panel, you will need to enter your categories and post titles. The correct format for this is: category/keyword Each post title must be on it's own line in this field. Comma separated values are not supported. Lets look at an example of how this works. Let's say that the box contains the following categories and titles: small/red widgets small/blue widgets medium/pink widgets When you ask SBPM to "Make Posts!" it will read through each line in the box. It will look at the name of the category and examine the Wordpress blog to see if that category already exists. If it does, it will assign the post to that category. If the category does not exist, it makes it for you and then assigns the post to it. SBPM will then look at the second part of the line (past the / marker) and it will use that as the post title. It does not do anything to change the text it finds here, so if you want to have capital letters in the right places, you must do that yourself first. So after SBPM has finished processing these 3 lines, you will end up with 3 posts being made. 2 in the "small" category and 1 in "medium". The posts will be called "red widgets", "blue widgets" and "pink widgets" - unless you put some values in the Pre and Post Title boxes above. Note: You can also just enter the name of the post if you wish, and it will be assigned to the "Uncategorized" category, or what ever you have renamed it to.
New: In SBPM version 2, support for custom variables in this post title box has been added. Let s take a look at an example of this: small/red widgets(asin=b123456,company=widgets Inc) small/blue widgets(asin=b78910,company=widgets Inc) medium/pink widgets(asin=babc123,company=super Widgets Ltd) By entering the extra information between the brackets, we are creating new SBPM shortcodes that can be added into the post content, titles, tags or SEO descriptions. Using the example above, we can now use %%ASIN%% and %%company%% inside SBPM. This new feature of SBPM allows you to create more complex and diverse content by adding in additional variables. Using data from a source such as Amazon (via tools such as the excellent AmaSuite) you can create detailed posts with rich data - perfect for generating money making Wordpress sites. There is more on the use of custom variables later in this manual. Each line in this panel is used to help create the content for each post. Let's come on to that now.
3. Post Content Panel: This is where the SBPM magic happens! SBPM uses "spintax", a commonly used format that allows for semi-random generation of words. Spintax uses the following format: {word1 word2 word3} The data is surrounded by curly brackets called braces and each word is separated by the pipe symbol ( ). When SBPM reads through the above example, it finds the 3 possible variations and randomly chooses a word to use and removes the rest. So you could end up with 3 possible combinations of words. If the following example, the spintax has been extended: {spintax spinning text SBPM} is {great nice cool}! This will give you a possible combination of 9 different outputs. Add to this further sentences, and you will have pure unique content added to your SBPM posts! SBPM can also perform nested spinning too. For example: {text1 text2 {text3 word3}} Spin Rewriter is the perfect piece of software for writing content in the spintax format - and this is my weapon of choice when it comes to spinning text for SBPM.
Using spintax formatted content, SBPM will create the post, generating un-spun text on the fly. SBPM will also take the category name of the post you are creating and use it to replace any text it finds that matches %%category%%. SBPM will also replace %%keyword%% with the title it found in the Keywords / Post Names panel. SBPM will not append the Pre and Post Title options when replacing % %keyword%% or %%category%%. You can also use %%blogname%% to enter the title of your website. Many other similar Wordpress plugins do not allow you to have PHP or Javascript code inside the spintax content. SBPM does! Feel free to add any code to this box and SBPM will ignore it and continue past. This feature makes creating dynamic posts in Wordpress a reality when using a plugin such as Exec-PHP. Let's have another example. Using the previous 3 posts that we saw in action earlier, we have added the following in the Post Content panel: {Right now Today Straight away} is the {right perfect} {opportunity time moment} to {buy purchase get order} {a your} %%keyword%%. {The This kind of A Your} % %keyword%% %%category%% is {ideal perfect excellent} for use {in the at} {house home} or in the {workplace office}. If we use SBPM to make these 3 posts, we could get the following 3 examples as the post content: Today is the perfect opportunity to buy your %%keyword%%. Your %%keyword%% % %category%% is ideal for use in the house or in the workplace. Today is the perfect time to buy a %%keyword%%. Your %%keyword%% %%category%% is excellent for use at home or in the office. Straight away is the right opportunity to buy your %%keyword%%. A %%keyword%% % %category%% is ideal for use in the house or in the workplace. With SBPM, the %%category%% and %%keyword%% placeholders will get automatically changed to the category name and post name - so the content of the 3 posts would end up as follows: Today is the perfect opportunity to buy your red widgets. Your red widgets small is ideal for use in the house or in the workplace. Today is the perfect time to buy a blue widgets. Your blue widgets small is excellent for use at home or in the office. Straight away is the right opportunity to buy your pink widgets. A pink widgets medium is ideal for use in the house or in the workplace. Obviously, this is not a perfect example, but you get the idea of the power behind using the 2 placeholders, spintax and SBPM. You could take an article from EzineArticles, run it through Spin Rewriter and drop it into SBPM, creating many posts, all with unique content. If we continue the example we have been using throughout this document, you will end up with 3 posts as follows:

(url = http://www.yourblog.com/medium/bargain-pink-widgets-on-sale) New in SBPM v2: If you are using the new custom variables in SBPM, your post titles and content might look like this: small/red widgets(asin=b123456,company=widgets Inc) small/blue widgets(asin=b78910,company=widgets Inc) medium/pink widgets(asin=babc123,company=super Widgets Ltd) {Right now Today Straight away} is the {right perfect} {opportunity time moment} to {buy purchase get order} {a your} %%company%% %%keyword%%. {The This kind of A Your} %%keyword%% %%category%% is {ideal perfect excellent} for use {in the at} {house home} or in the {workplace office}. <a href= http:// www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/%%asin%%/myaffcode-20 >Buy Now</a> If we use SBPM to make these 3 posts, we could get the following 3 examples as the post content: Today is the perfect opportunity to buy your %%company%% %%keyword%%. Your % %keyword%% %%category%% is ideal for use in the house or in the workplace. <a href= http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/%%asin%%/myaffcode-20 >Buy Now</a> Today is the perfect time to buy a %%company%% %%keyword%%.

A % %keyword%% %%category%% is ideal for use in the house or in the workplace. <a href= http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/%%asin%%/myaffcode-20 >Buy Now</a> The 2 custom variables we defined in the post titles, ASIN and company, the variable names surrounded by %% in the content will be replaced generated by SBPM and will be as follows: Today is the perfect opportunity to buy your Widgets Inc red widgets. Your red widgets small is ideal for use in the house or in the workplace. <a href= http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/b123456/myaffcode-20 >Buy Now</a> Today is the perfect time to buy a Widgets Inc blue widgets.

Straight away is the right opportunity to buy your Super Widgets Ltd pink widgets. A pink widgets medium is ideal for use in the house or in the workplace. <a href= http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/babc123/ myaffcode-20 >Buy Now</a> Using the example above will allow you to generate dynamic links to Amazon - but I am sure you can think of many different ways the new custom variables in SBPM can be used to create unique posts with content containing lots of information. Another example using Amazon data from AmaSuite could be this: SATA hard drive/western Digital(price=120,reviews=42,ASIN=B9874547,savings=70) This excellent %%keyword%% %%category%% from is available from Amazon for % %price%%. That is a saving of %%savings%% percent, which %%reviews%% other people think is an amazing deal - <a href= http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ ASIN/%%ASIN%%/myaffcode-20 >click here to view more information</a>. Another built in feature for SBPM is that it will automatically add the relevant custom fields for Post Title and Post Description that works with the AIOSEOP (All In One SEO Pack) plugin. This means that SBPM can generate bulk posts quickly, and also give them the SEO boost that this excellent plugin provides. See the instructions for panel number 5 for more information.
4.Post Tags Panel: SBPM - Super Bulk Post Maker V2 New in SBPM v2: This is a new panel, adding to SBPM v2, allowing you to add dynamic tags to each of your posts. Enter a list of tags into the box using a comma separated format and set the number of tags to be added to each post in the box above. If you leave the number of tags box empty, SBPM will count the number of tags you have entered and assign a random number of tags per post. The tags box can also accept spintax formatted data too: tag1,tag2,{tag3 tag 3 tag three},tag4 Personally, I enter as many tags as I can think of that relate to my content and use the data from ubersuggest.org too, which I run through Excel or a text editor to add a comma after each keyword and then paste it into this box.
5.Post SEO Panel: SBPM - Super Bulk Post Maker V2 New in SBPM v2: This panel is new to SBPM version 2, allowing you to fine tune your SEO data for your posts. By default, SBPM adds entries to the Wordpress database that directly link with the excellent All In One SEO Pack plugin, creating entires for the post title, description and keywords (taken from the post tags - see Post Tags Panel). If you want to override any of these settings, use this panel. You can use the standard SBPM %%keyword%% %%category%% and custom variables here to add content to the SEO title and description fields, ensuring that your meta data will look unique to the search engines. If you would like to use the same content as you have used for the post, but want it spun again to create a unique SEO description, click the Double Spin SEO Description checkbox and save the settings.
6. Post And Schedule Options Panel: This SBPM panel will allow you to change when and the way that the posts are made on your Wordpress blog. By default, SBPM will create all of your posts at once, all with a status of "Published" and all on the same date and time. If you want to change this, you can change the value in the first field from "0" to the number of hours you want to space out each of the posts by. For example, putting 5 and 10 in the boxes would mean that SBPM would space out your posts, choosing a random time between 5 and 10 hours between each one. An example of this would be that SBPM will allow you to make 100 posts that are each spaced out between 40 and 48 hours. The first post would be published now, the next one in 2 days time and the remaining 98 over a period of 200 days - each post being published every 40 to 48 hours. This will appear more natural to search engines and people who may have subscribed to your RSS feed. New: If you want to change the date from which you would like to the posts to start, the new calendar function will allow you to do this. The first icon will launch a date and time picker window, allowing you to choose the date and time for the posts to start from. The second icon will enter the current date and time. The third icon will find and enter the date and time of the very last post created in your Wordpress database. This will allow you to add some posts using SBPM, then return to
your blog later and add more from where you left off, making the posting times look natural. The date and time can be set to the past, creating the illusion that your blog has been running for years - if that is what you want. The next part of the Post Options panel allows you to skip, ignore or overwrite existing posts on your blog. This means that if you are adding SBPM to an existing Wordpress blog and you want to update any existing posts with new content, SBPM will identify those as it works through the list and update the existing post rather than make a new one. This is perfect for updating posts an old blog and adding additional content at the same time. SBPM will take care of all of that for you. Note: If you are using the Pre and Post Title Options panel to add additional words at the beginning or end of your post titles, you will most likely end up making new posts rather than replacing existing ones, even if the keyword you are using is the same. Tip: If you ever have issues with PHP timeout s when posting with SBPM, run the same data again, but select the Do nothing (skip post) option to pass over the existing posts and start making the next ones. Make sure you save the settings first though. New: SBPM version 2 now allows you to make either posts or pages using your content. You can choose which type to make in this section. By default, posts are created. With regards to the way that SBPM uses post categories as a hierarchy, when making pages, SBPM follows the same logic when creating pages. small/red widgets small/blue widgets medium/pink widgets Using the data above with pages selected, SBPM will allow you to automatically create a page called small with child pages called red widgets and blue widgets. To do this, add small and medium to the content as follows: small medium small/red widgets small/blue widgets medium/pink widgets When SBPM creates the pages, it checks to see if there is a parent page with the same name as the category and assigns that page as a child if it exists. Using the data above, the pages created would look like this:
This is an excellent way to create a logical flow to your sites, with the manufacturer name as a parent page and products as child pages. If you use a plugin such as the Ninja Pages Plugin you can also use SBPM to add tags and categories to your pages too and list child pages on the main parent pages. The Make Posts button at the bottom of this panel will create the posts for you. Make sure that you have clicked the "Save SBPM Settings" button before you do this though.
7. Other Cool Stuff Panel: This panel will help you get your blog up to scratch by creating you a "Contact Us" and "Privacy Policy" - with just 1 click! need to have that installed and enabled first. The "Contact Us" page uses the Clean Contact plugin, so you will The "Privacy Policy" page contains a standard Google Adsense, Amazon and ebay compliant statement that is a requirement for sites that use these features. Note: If you click this button more than once, you will end up with more copies of these 2 pages, so you only need to do it one time.
8. File Upload Panel: Click the "Upload File" button. SBPM - Super Bulk Post Maker V2 This panel allows you to upload files to the Keywords or Content panel. It is not hard to copy and paste the information from Notepad to the relevant area, but this feature will make it easier for people who like to get everything ready in a text file before hand. Click the "Choose File" button and navigate to select your text file and click "Open". Choose which content you will be uploading to SBPM, either Keywords or Content. The file will be uploaded and the information placed in the right part of SBPM. Note: If you have made changes to other settings and have not clicked the "Save SBPM Settings" button first, you will lose them when you select this option.
9. Get Out Of Jail Panel: This panel will allow you to quickly and easily remove and posts that have been created by SBPM from all categories, or a selected category. When SBPM makes a post, it creates a Wordpress "custom field" to help identify it. If you make a mistake and want to delete all of you SBPM posts from either all categories or a selected category, this panel will only delete posts that SBPM has made, using the custom field as a marker. As with any major Wordpress post surgery, you will need to ensure you have a backup before proceeding. This process cannot be undone.
SBPM Example The manual above covers the main uses of the SBPM plugin. The power to use this plugin to create unique posts, comes from the use of spintax and the placeholders. A good example for using SBPM would be to create a blog using phpbay, an excellent plugin that lists ebay auctions based on specific keywords. To use this kind of plugin with SBPM, you could add the following to the content box: {Buy Get Find} {cheap low cost bargain} %%keyword%% {at on over at} ebay: [phpbay]%%keyword%%,20[/phpbay] When using this content in conjunction with a set of categories and keywords like this: Crash Cymbals/Zildjian ZBT 16 Inch Crash Crash Cymbals/Meinl HCS 14 Inch Crash Crash Cymbals/Zildjian 14-Inch ZBT Crash Crash Cymbals/Sabian B8 Pro 14 Inch Crash Gongs/Sabian 24 Inch Zodiac Gong Gongs/Sabian 40 Inch Chinese Gong Ride Cymbals/Meinl HCS 20 Inch Ride Ride Cymbals/Sabian 20 Inch SBR Ride Ride Cymbals/Sabian 20 Inch B8 Ride Ride Cymbals/Zildjian 20 Inch ZBT Ride SBPM will create 10 posts in 3 different categories, with a small piece of text at the top and ebay auctions underneath based on the "keyword" or "post title". Using SBPM and phpbay, you have your new drum website up and running within minutes, ready to make you money. This method is fully discussed in the OneLung Thin Site Method course.
