Setting Up The Panda Smart Browser
Now it’s time to download the Panda Smart Browser and then we will set up our campaigns. Notice the active resources in the bottom left corner and click the Panda Smart Browser V*.** link.
That will automatically start a download of the *zip file containing the browser. Once downloaded extract the archive wherever you want it to live on your computer. It doesn’t need to be installed.
I just tucked the folder out of the way somewhere and created a shortcut on my desktop to the *.exe file.
You earn time credits for running the Panda Smart Browser, so its a good idea to get it up and running. I have an old pc that I only use for running Pandabot but you can use your main pc and run it in the background or run it on a vps 18 hour a day.
I run it as much as possible. I think I have about 70 hours of credits racked up and have spent about 60 hours already. It ads up quickly especially when you set it and forget it. Just run the *.exe, follow the prompts and it will do the rest all by itself.
Now the fun part.
Adding Your Website To The Pandabot Network
Right above the link that you clicked on to download the Panda Smart Browser is another link that says “Panda bot Network Settings and Reports”. Click this link now.
This menu is where all the action happens. The first thing we will do is set up a website to be promoted by Panda Bot.
First click add a new website. That will open a pop up menu where you can enter the url of the website that you want to promote. Enter that in the specified box.
I usually skip the notes box but you can put whatever you want there.
The next box is the secrecy box. When Panda bot is promoting your site it is going to the search engine, entering your keywords, and then clicking on your site. Unless otherwise specified everything Pandabot does is visible to the user who is running the browser on their computer. If you wish to keep your keywords, site, niche, videos, etc. secret you must change this setting. You can choose to hide the “search engine” setting so that people will not see the keywords you are using, or you can choose to hide the entire campaign by choosing “hide all phases”. I usually choose hide all phases. However if you are promoting a video on youtube it might be beneficial to let people see it. I’ve clicked on a couple of videos that have came across the pandabot browser, but that part is entirely up to you.
The last arrow lets you set the maximum allowed amount of daily visitors. This show you how ambitious the creators are. It starts at 1 and goes all the way up to 100,000. I doubt it will ever get to the point where you have to cap it at 100 thousand users a day but damn!
Hit “Save” and the box will close.
Now we want to set up the pages Pandabot can visit. Once pandabot goes to our site, we can tell it to visit certian pages, for certian abounts of time. Pandabot will explore our site up to 20 pages deep. Just like a real user would.
There are a couple of ways to do this.
If yours is a new site and you only have a few posts that you want to promote you can add pages by hand rather quickly.
Just click the “add a new page” button in the top left and enter the domain (minus the root directory) into the pop up menu. Hits the “save” button and your all set. Do this for however many pages you want to add.
If you have a large site that you want to promote pandabot allows you to upload an excel file of your site. This is a little more complicated but don’t worry I will walk you through it.
