<p>
From the main page, click the link that says 'Click here to upload a domain
file (topic,domain) for a batch run'. The form that comes up is similar
to the main form.
</p>
<p>
Select the profile you wish to use for building. That will preset most of the options. Note, with this form
you can override some profile settings. For example, there are also
edit boxes for entering the hosting server information. This is useful
to override if you want to do a small batch on a different server, only
one time. To be able to do proper site updates, you really should
create a separate profile for it, however.
</p>
<p>
The schedule can be set to 1 to complete in a single day, or spread out over as many days
as desired by entering a number greater than 1. Set the start date
either to today or a future date. The date format is YYYY-MM-DD. The
builder will start after midnight on that day 12:01 AM. The time is
relative to the system time on the production server (War Chest Builder
server) and could be out of sync with your own timezone.
</p>
<p>
Note,the builder is limited to the number it can actually process per day.
Because every server is different, there is no magic formula to
determine how many yours may handle. Typical results are up to 1000 per
day max. The primary delay for building is the harvesting of phrases
and articles. So the more keywords you use, the longer it will take for
each site. In some circumstances you may only be able to build 100 per
day, or even less.
</p>
<p>
Click the browse button to select a csv file from your computer hard drive. The file format must be like below:
</p>
<p>
Topic1,domain1
Topic2,domain2
Topic3,domain3
etc.
</p>
<p>
Note,
the domains in the csv must already be registered and should point to
the name servers for the hosting server you are building the sites on.
</p>
<p>
Select the Page Option you wish to use. It should be set by the profile, but
you can override it. The page option sets how the web site(s) will be
generated. There are 4 options available:
• Dir/.html
• Dir/.php
• All .html
• All .php
</p>
<p>
The Dir/.html option will create the home page as index.html and all keyword pages as /keyword/index.html which translates to <a href="http://domain.com/keyword/index.html" target="_blank">http://domain.com/keyword/index.html</a>
</p>
<p>
The Dir/.php option will create the home page as index.php and all keyword pages as /keyword/index.php which translates to <a href="http://domain.com/keyword/index.php" target="_blank">http://domain.com/keyword/index.php</a>
</p>
<p>
The
All .html option will generate the home page as index.html and all of
the keyword pages will be /keyword.html located in the home directory.
</p>
<p>
The
All .php option will generate the home page as index.php and all of the
keyword pages will be /keyword.php located in the home directory.
</p>
<p>
Note, all of the keyword page files have spaces removed automatically. 
</p>
<p>
Set the tag &amp; ping range, 5-14 days is the recommended setting.
</p>
<p>
Select any filters you wish to use.
</p>
<p>
Enter the hosting server IP, username &amp; password, if not already set.
</p>
<p>
Enter the number of keywords you would like to use for generating the sites.
You can use a single value such as 100, or enter a range using a dash
-- with no spaces, such as 130-300. Entering a range will cause the
builder to choose a random number from the low end to high end of the
range entered. This also correlates to how many pages will be
generated. 
</p>
<p>
The number you enter here may not necessarily cause
that number of pages to be generated. If there are not enough keywords
available to satisfy your setting, it will use all available keywords.
This is common if you select a topic that does not return a lot of
search results. Some topics may only return a few keyword phrases, and
some may return 0. If you use the filtering option, there will be less
available for many topics.
</p>
<p>
Choose a template for the generated web pages. The templates are located in subdirectories, and all
existing subdirectories will be listed in this drop-down list. Refer to
the template section for more information about creating templates. The
'default' template is included with the War Chest Builder as a sample.
You should edit it or copy it to a new subdirectory and then edit.
</p>
Then click the submit button. You should get the new Batch ID displayed. Keep it for reference.
