When you first login to the War Chest Builder you will be on the main builder page. From there you can start a new batch of topics to generate domains and sites for. If you wish to generate sites using existing domains, click the link that says 'Click here to upload a domain file (topic, domain) for a batch run.' Note, the domains must be registered and their DNS settings should point them to the hosting server where they will be generated. The registrar should have tools for doing that. See the 'Uploading A Batch .csv' section for more details.
</p>
<p>
To register new domains, use the main form. First select a profile to use. The profile should be set up prior to using this form. You may also select multiple profiles to use.
</p>
<p>
If you select multiple profiles, the domains will be spread out evenly (if even number of topics) among all of the hosting servers for the selected profiles.
</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) which 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. In the topics edit box enter the topics (or keywords) you wish to build for. Enter 1 topic per line. You can enter duplicate topics and get different domains registered for each one, if desired.
</p>
<p>
The domain order preference sets the priority for domain name generation. This uses the prefix and suffix words to form domain names. In the drop-down list box there are several variations that can be used. As an example, if you entered 'dog' and 'cat' for topics, and used 'black' for prefix and 'book' for suffix and the profile has .com for the domain suffix, then the following will be tried:
</p>
<p>
blackdog.com
blackcat.com
dogbook.com
catbook.com
dog.com
cat.com
</p>
<p>
The order it tries them in is determined by the selection for domain order preference. In the list box, KW is the topic and filler is either the prefix or suffix. So, if you wanted to try dogbook.com, catbook.com first then blackcat.com, blackdog.com second and dog.com, cat.com last, then you would select KWfiller.com -&gt; fillerKW.com -&gt; KW.com in the list.
</p>
<p>
The first available variation will be registered. Only one (1) domain will be  registered per topic. If you want to use two (2) profiles, then you should use a multiple of two (2) for the number of topics in order to spread them evenly (e.g. 2,4,6,8,100,320,500,etc.).
</p>
<p>
The prefix and suffix filler words are used to form domain names containing the topic and the filler word. The filler words are optional. But, you may find more domain names available using variations based on the topic. You can enter the prefix and suffix words in the form, or select the 'Pull from database' checkbox to use the ones contained in the database. If there are none in the database, go to the 'Filler Words' section to add them. The Tag &amp; Ping Range sets the length of time you wish to spread out tag &amp; ping posts to the various sites.
Recommended value is 5-14 days. You can post them all in the same day, if desired. However, many search engines will ignore them if there are too many posts for the same domain in one day. Spreading them out over time will ensure the search engines pick them up.
</p>
<p>
Note that many of the tag &amp; ping sites can change from time to time. If you don't appear to be getting posts made to them, it is possible they changed their interface, causing the tag &amp; ping utility to fail. If this does happen, please let us know so we can make sure the utilities are up to date with all of the sites. Some may even disappear, altogether.
</p>
Once you have filled out the form and click submit, the topics are run through the filtering system. Any topics matching a filtered word or phrase will be listed as being skipped from the domain registration API. This prevents inadvertently registering bad domains, such as pornographic terminology. You should also see the assigned Batch ID for the batch you are running. This can be useful when searching the reports or doing manual SQL queries on the database.
