Introduction What will I learn in this manual?
This easy to follow user guide was written to guide you through the process of installing,
activating, configuring and using the Backlink Energizer WordPress Plugin.
Backlink Energizer was written for novice and advanced users in mind. Whether you are a
WordPress genius or you have never installed or used a WordPress Plugin before, this guide will
show you in an easy to follow, step-by-step format, how to get the most out of this powerful
software.
What is an index cluster?
A cluster is a group of web 2.0 sites (or your own WordPress blogs) which link back to a page you
want to get indexed.
If you’ve spent any time learning about Internet marketing, you will already know that you need
backlinks. Without them, you’re practically invisible to Google.
The problem most people face is that when they build backlinks, it can take months for Google
to index them, if at all. While your backlink is hidden away from Google, your site will not
benefit from better rankings that increased backlinks can deliver.
For example: If you’re building profile backlinks (a popular method of creating message board
profiles with links back to your own website), your profile could be one of thousands on that
particular message board. It could take Google months to index your profile page. That’s a LOT
of time to wait for just ONE backlink to be indexed.

What is Backlink Energizer?
Backlink Energizer is a simple to use WordPress plugin which helps to increase the visibility of
your backlinks. It combines the power of link-wheels and the automation of autoblogging into
one push-button process that turbo-charges your backlinking efforts.
In a nutshell, Backlink Energizer builds backlinks to your backlinks – in doing so, it increases their
visibility and helps to get them indexed faster. The quicker your backlinks are indexed, the more
“link juice” your money site has. Which in turn means higher rankings.

Before Installing
It is important to note that Backlink Energizer is not designed to work with other WordPress plugins.
Backlink Energizer is a standalone solution, designed to improve the power of your backlinks.
You should install Backlink Energizer on a fresh WordPress blog which is hidden from search engines.
This blog can be on its own domain and hosting, on a subdomain, or in a subfolder.
This new WordPress blog is essentially used as an admin panel for energizing your backlinking
campaigns – there will be no posts, pages or other information on your WordPress blog.

Installation We're starting the installation process with the understanding that you have
installed a fresh, new, never before used, wordpress blog on your hosting account
[free Wordpress.com sites won't work ]. We recommend for cost savings, to
install a fresh new blog into a subfolder of an existing domain, however; if you
have existing dormant domains you want to use - you are free to use those as
well.
For steps on setting up new wordpress blog installs in subfolders and / or
subdomains - please refer to the video tutorials at the following link
http://www.backlink-energizer.com/energizervids/
Log in to your WordPress admin panel (usually yoursite.com/wp-admin) with
your administrator username and password.
When you log in, you will be taken to the WP Dashboard.
Located in the left sidebar menu, you will see the PLUGINS menu entry.
Copyright © 2010, All Rights Reserved – Steve Aylor – Backlink-Energizer.com
Click the downward arrow to expand the PLUGINS menu.
Click ADD NEW, this will take you to the Install Plugins page which looks like this:
Towards the top of the page, you will see 6 links: Search, Upload, Featured,
Popular, Newest & Recently Updated.
Click UPLOAD, the page will now look like this:
Click BROWSE, this will open a “File Upload” window. Locate the plugin zip file on
your computer’s hard drive and click OPEN
Copyright © 2010, All Rights Reserved – Steve Aylor – Backlink-Energizer.com
* Please NOTE ... it is imperative to upload the proper .zip file here. The main
download file contains multiple files including the actual plugin file. Be sure you
are uploading the file named energizerplugin.version#xx.zip into your
wordpress blog in this step.
Click INSTALL NOW, you will be taken to this page:
Click ACTIVATE PLUGIN, you should see the following:

Registering web 2.0
Accounts Before you start using the plugin, you will need to sign up to a few web 2.0 sites –
Backlink Energizer is compatible with the following web 2.0 sites:
- WordPress.com
- TypePad.com
- Blogger.com
- LiveJournal.com
- Tumblr.com
- Multiply.com
- Xanga.com
- Posterous.com
If you bought BLISS Cluster Paks, we have done all the hard work for you – there
will be no need to register for each web 2.0 site manually. You can skip this
section and all the hard work ... and go right to the Import Cluster section.
If you haven’t yet purchased your BLISS Cluster Paks, you can do so at this link:
www.backlink-energizer.com/bliss2/
If you’d prefer to sign up for each web 2.0 site yourself, you may do so –
instructions are included in this section.
However; before you do we really think you should watch the video on the
cluster site import feature and see if creating those web 2.0 sites and accounts
is worth all the effort - when you can do it all in a few clicks! Watch the video
labeled Cluster Site Import.

It is not essential to register for all web 2.0 sites in order for Backlink Energizer to
work – providing there is one or more web 2.0 account (including your own self
hosted WordPress sites) for Backlink Energizer to post to.
Once you have registered, and entered the necessary details to give the plugin
access to these accounts – building backlinks is a simple as pushing a button.
After installing the plugin (see previous chapter), a new menu will appear in the
WordPress Dashboard navigation menu.
It looks like this:
To access the Backlink Energizer’s settings, hold your mouse over the menu entry
and click the downward arrow to expand it.
You will see this:
Click WEB 2.0 SITES, this will open the Account Configuration page which looks
like this:
Copyright © 2010, All Rights Reserved – Steve Aylor – Backlink-Energizer.com

open whilst signing up to the various web 2.0 sites in another tab. This will allow
you to copy/paste the information between the tabs.
Signing up to all the web 2.0 sites is relatively simple, however, we will detail the
process for each. There will be certain information from the registration process
that you will need to enter on the Account Configuration page. Remember to
keep a note of the email addresses, usernames and passwords associated with
these accounts as you will to use them later – to make it easier, we will mark this
information with (make a note of this)

Backlink Energizer will automatically import the cluster file and populate the
database with a set of web 2.0 accounts. We install the URLs to the blogs we're
posting to – so there is no need to keep a spreadsheet of URLs and passwords.
Copyright © 2010, All Rights Reserved – Steve Aylor – Backlink-Energizer.com
Self Hosted
WordPress (SHWP) Backlink Energizer allows you to automatically post content on one or even up to
10, of your own hosted WordPress blogs. You can choose to post ONLY to SHWP
blogs without using any web 2.0s, or a combination of SHWP and Web 2.0's, or
just Web 2.0s. Maximum flexibility.
First, you will need to enable remote posting on the destination blog.
You can view a video on setting up Self Hosted WordPress sites here:
http://www.backlink-energizer.com/blenergizertutvids.html alternatively, read on
for full details.
Log in to the destination blog’s WordPress admin panel (usually
yoursite.com/wp-admin) with your administrator username and password.
When you log in, you will be taken to the WP Dashboard.
Copyright © 2010, All Rights Reserved – Steve Aylor – Backlink-Energizer.com
Located in the left sidebar menu, you will see the SETTINGS menu entry.
Click the downward arrow to expand the SETTINGS menu.
Click WRITING, this will open the Writing Settings page which looks like this:
Copyright © 2010, All Rights Reserved – Steve Aylor – Backlink-Energizer.com
Place a checkmark next to XML-RPC, this will allow the Backlink Energizer to post
to the destination blog.
Click SAVE CHANGES
Once you have done so, simply enter the necessary details on the plugin’s SHWP
Sites page:
Domain: This is the domain on which your WordPress blog is hosted (i.e.
yoursite.com – do not include http:// or any slashes.) If your blog is installed on a
subdomain/add-on domain – you should use the following format:
subdomain.domain.com
Folder: This is the folder in which your WordPress blog is installed (i.e. blog – do
not include any slashes) If your blog is installed on its own domain without a
subfolder, leave this blank.
Username: You may use your administrator username (i.e. admin)*
Password: Enter your password here.
* You may also set up a new user with contributor privileges
Click TEST.
IMPORTANT: Your Self Hosted WordPress Blogs must have the XML-RPC feature
enabled first before they will test GREEN
A green check mark will appear if you have entered the details correctly,
alternately a red exclamation mark will appear if you have not.
Copyright © 2010, All Rights Reserved – Steve Aylor – Backlink-Energizer.com
Click SAVE.
TIP: You should turn off commenting on your Self Hosted WordPress blogs
TIP: Your Self Hosted WordPress blogs should be visible to search engines.

Test post Now that you have configured the plugin, it is a good idea to create a test post.
This will be the first post on each of the accounts – and will ensure they are
configured correctly.
To write a test post, locate the Energizer plugin menu on left navigation menu.
Click TEST POST
You will be taken to the following page:
Copyright © 2010, All Rights Reserved – Steve Aylor – Backlink-Energizer.com
Enter a title for your test post and write a couple of paragraphs.
Click TEST
It may take a few moments for the test post to appear on all your web 2.0 sites.
Check each account to ensure the test post was successful.
IMPORTANT NOTE: CRON is not used when creating a test post, therefore the
test post will not place any backlinks on your web 2.0 sites. Test Post is used
simply to test the posting and connectivity between the web 2.0 and SHWP sites
installed to make sure we can get content on the sites properly.
ADVANCED TIP: If you want to create a test post with backlinks included, you
can do so by manually running the Cron Job – video details here:
http://www.backlink-energizer.com/blenergizertutvids.html
Now that you have configured and tested the Backlink Energizer plugin with your
web 2.0 site, there is one last step you need to take before you are ready to begin
using it to build backlinks.
Copyright © 2010, All Rights Reserved – Steve Aylor – Backlink-Energizer.com
Setting up a CRON JOB A cron job is a server process which enables users to schedule scripts to run
automatically at a certain time or date. The Backlink Energizer plugin uses cron
jobs to automatically post posts and backlinks to your web 2.0 sites.
To set up a cron job, locate the Energizer plugin menu on left navigation menu.
Click MAIN CONFIG
You will be taken to the following page:
Copyright © 2010, All Rights Reserved – Steve Aylor – Backlink-Energizer.com
Notice the Cron box at the bottom, copy the text (highlighted below) to your
clipboard*
Copyright © 2010, All Rights Reserved – Steve Aylor – Backlink-Energizer.com
* The highlighted text will be different on your own server – just remember to
only copy the text from /usr… to …/cron.php (inclusive) – but skip the 0 * * * *
In a new browser tab/window, log into CPANEL on your hosting account. Usually,
yoursite.com/cpanel
You will be asked for your username and password. Once you enter them, you will
be redirected to CPANEL.
Scroll down to locate the CRON JOBS icon:
Click CRON JOBS.
You will be taken to a page which looks like this:
Copyright © 2010, All Rights Reserved – Steve Aylor – Backlink-Energizer.com
There are only two settings you need to change.
Common Settings: Select “Once an hour”
Command: Paste the text you copied from the cron box earlier here
Click ADD NEW CRON JOB
You can now log out of CPANEL
ADVANCED TIP: If you have multiple blogs, and in turn multiple cron jobs
running – we recommend using http://www.setcronjob.com to manage them.

Using Backlink
Energizer Now that you have configured the plugin and set up your cron job, you are ready
to begin using the plugin to begin building your backlinks.
In the WP Admin Dashboard, locate the Energizer plugin settings menu
Click MAIN CONFIG
You will be taken to the following page:
Copyright © 2010, All Rights Reserved – Steve Aylor – Backlink-Energizer.com
Here is a brief rundown of each setting:
Enable: This checkbox is used to enable the cluster – it is best to leave it off until
you have set everything else up and tested that it is working
Notify email: Enter a valid email address here. Backlink Energizer will use this to
notify you it has completed processing your links.
Auto restart: If checked, once Backlink Energizer finishes posting all links in the
database it will begin reposting from the top of the list.
If you purchased the BLISS Cluster Paks - you should have received a file named
blisscluster.zip in addition to the web 2.0 sites for importation. Inside the
blisscluster.zip file are several .txt files containing 100's of rss feeds you can use,
as well as matching keywords ... all to make Energizer as turnkey as possible. If

This is where you add (PASTE) links to the URLs/backlinks you want to get
indexed/energized, one per line. Add as many links here as you want.
NOTE: You should only use raw URLs, no anchor text or html. (For example:
http://www.yoursite.com is acceptable, <a href=”www.yoursite.com”>My
Site</a> is not acceptable)
Click ADD
The links will be added to a database and will be processed from the top of the list
down. Once posted, they are removed from the “To Post” list and are marked as

That’s it, once you’re happy that you’ve completed the process above – go back
to the Config screen and ensure that ENABLE is checked. This will start the
process and populate your web 2.0 sites with automatically generated content
from the RSS feeds, complete with the backlinks you added on the links page.
ADVANCED TIP: As you begin to add more backlinks to the system, it is
recommended that you randomize your lists. For example, if you are scaling up
your list of backlinks to over 500 links per day, it makes sense to randomize. We
have found http://www.random.org/lists/?mode=advanced to be very useful.
Paste your list of backlinks into the text box and use the As Bare-bones text
document option to randomize your list of backlinks.
