This and other scripts mentioned in the post can be found in this archive.

Script which-Forum.pl. Examines the HTML page code for the presence of a forum engine signature in it. We used similar reception when determining WordPress and Joomla, but there is a couple of differences. First, the script itself does not upload the page code, and reads it from STDin or a file transmitted as an argument. This allows you to upload a page once, for example, using WGET, and then drive it through several analyzers if we are not alone. Secondly, in this script, the presence of signature is a 100% sign of the engine. Last time the presence of signature only gave the weight to the corresponding engine and "won" the engine with the greatest weight. I decided that in this case this approach only will complicate the code.

To test the work of the script, I spent a slight study. I am a list of several thousand forums and drove each of them through my script, thereby determining the percentage of the program's triggings and the popularity of various engines.

To get a list of forums, I took advantage of Google Parser. Search engine sent types of type

site: Forum. *. ru
Site: Talk. *. RU
Site: Board. *. RU
SITE: SMF. *. RU
Site: phpbb. *. ru
....

etc. Full code generator code you will find in the file gen-forumSearch-URLS.PL.. In addition to zone.ru were also used.su .ua .kz I.BY. Last time, this study was difficult, since sites on Wordpress and Joomla do not have similar signatures in the URL. Catalogs like cmsmagazine.ru/catalogue/ do not provide sufficient sampling. What is 600 sites on Drupal?

I must admit, the results of the experiment were upset of me. Of the 12590 studied sites, only 7083 engines were determined successfully, that is, only in 56% of cases. Maybe I did not take into account any engine? Is it really bitrix at half to see? Or did I stand more time to pay the search for signatures? In general, additional research is required here.

Among the 56% of successfully identified engines most popular, as expected, turned out to be IPB (31%), PHPBB (26.6%) and VBulletin (26.5%)

For them with a large lag behind SMF (5.8%) and Dleforum (5.3%). My favorite PunbB was only 6th place (1.64%). I would not advise to greatly trust these numbers (they say, every third forum in RuNet works on IPB), but certain conclusions do, of course, you can.

For example, if you intend to make a website on the forum engine and plan to modify the forum, say, pay users of 0.01 $ for each message with automatic output of funds once a week, then you should choose one of the three most popular engines. The more popular the forum, the greater the chances of finding a programmer who disassembled well in it.

If significant changes in the engine is not expected, it may make sense to choose not the most popular engine, for example SMF or PUNBB. By this, you will reduce the number of hacker attacks on your forum and the number of spam automatically sent on it.

Scripts for search / definition of forums can also be found not one practical application. The first thing that came into my head personally is to sort the identified forums on the Titz and place the posts with links to one of their sites on the first hundred. However, hundreds of forum dofolllow links did not affect TIC (2 updates passed), so it's better not to spend time here, unless you are interested in transitions.

It is clear that the name of the scripts is far from the only one. I think you will easily come up with how else you can use them.

Everyone knows that I just can not live without Jumla, but, in my opinion, there is no good forum in the components. Therefore, I work with forum engines. One of the new ones I just recently began to use is starting a new category SMF, I hope with a useful material. We start with small, well, and as newcomers are very useful.

First steps in SIMPLE MACHINES FORUM search engine optimization: We delete copywrites and external links

Immediately make a reservation that I only work SMF 2 and this article will relate to this version of the free forum engine.

And so, permanent readers know how much I do not like to put on "10" external references to the official sites of the engines, including forum. That is why the first thing I delete copywrites and whole 4, attention 4 external references of the species " SMF 2.0.2 | SIMPLE MACHINES | SMF © 2011 | Xhtml "! To do this, connect to the site for FTP Forum / Themes / name of your topic/ and edit the file index.template.php.. Naturally, at the bottom there is a code (about 330 lines), which is taking out that not believable to us external links. Therefore, we delete: "

Organized by Botmaster Labs, did not plan. Time is not, the video is needed for the competition, like a new-fashioned trend, although it is easier for all good screenshots (my IMHO) can be explained (my IMHO), and nothing wants to Fall. Those very little left of the profitable, the stupid spam is not at all taxes at all, here it is necessary to think and the themes will not fall out, if only those who have learned to try to shove in a beautiful wool and swim a little. :) But this is not about us. In general, these 3 "not", I think, mostly became barriers to participate in the competition for most potential participants. Here as with the repair of a car of three: cheap, high quality, quickly - only 2 conditions can be performed simultaneously. Sit and choose that you closer. :) With the contest, the same thing is: there is time, I know how to make a video, but there is no topic, or I know how to make a video, there is a topic, but there is no time, or and the time free has appeared and there is a small one, but there is a smaller time. But this is good if at the same time 2 conditions are performed. Well, oh well, throwing the lyrics. I continue to myself. I did not plan, it means that I participate in the competition, even chose what article to vote. What do not say, and the doses very well knows and very sensible to apply it. But today I learned that the intrigue appeared in the competition. It turns out I can not vote, but can only make newcomers who have acquired software in 2011 and the competition is designed for them. Surprised little, but the owner - Barin. Competition is an advertising company and Alexander knows how to conduct it. In general, I decided then to lay out an article, it's somewhat easier to write, when it is clear to whom, for the whole collective farm it is actually impossible to do it.
Long accession ended, now to the point.
What is needed by a novice when he acquired such a super combine that is the Xrumer + Hrefer complex? That's right, learn how to work on it and discard the illusions that, starting to spam the sheets, you can make money. If you think so, it is better to immediately sacrifice your money for charity. You need to learn to use the tools of the complex, preferably draining it under yourself. Time "Take more - throw further" gone. The number is inferior to quality. So we will collect the database for yourself, do not learn how to do it - retain from the train. This will help us, naturally, Hrefer. If you plan to promote your resources in Google, then we need to look for the donor sites also through Google. I think it is understandable and logical. But Google, like a hostess of the copper mountain, does not give our wealth to everyone in a row. It is necessary for it. Immediately I would like to say that do not hope that on the grounds that you find in a public you can collect something. They are because they are available in a public that you are a member of them. I will not develop the topic further. Better will tell you how to collect it properly, so that you see the result, the rest of themselves improve, the main thing is to understand the principle. It is necessary to collect according to the correct, on the signs of the specific, the engine we need, and not signs of forums at all. This is the main mistake of newcomers - not to concentrate on a specific one, and try to cover everything entirely. And even if you want to enroll more or less normal database, refuse to use in the requests of operators. No "Inurl:", "Site:", "Title", etc. Google such as you seekers are banned instantly. Therefore, thoroughly study the engines with which the size is currently working:

Powered by php-fusion

In the Khrumber version 7.07, the program is trained in several new engines:

forumi.biz, Forumb.biz, 1Forum.biz, 7Forum.biz, etc.

phpbb-fr.com, Solaris phpbb theme

And the learning process is continuous to be new.
In general, we need to prepare the right requests for the Khrefer Paracement. Take for example the forum diot SMF Forums.. And let's start disassembled it on parcel spare parts. In this we will help our favorite Google. We enter in Google request SMF Forums. - Many garbage in extradition, wrap on some 13th page and choose any link. I came across this: http://www.volcanohost.com/forum/index.php?topic\u003d11.0. Opening it and study it. We need to find something characteristic on the page that you can apply to the search for other pages on this engine. In the footer notice the following inscription Powered by SMF 1.1.14, I spend it and introduce it to Google, it shows us that on this request he knows about 59 million options. I briefly view links, add a couple of other options to this keyword, for example, "Powered by SMF 1.1.14" Poplar or "Powered by SMF 1.1.14" Viagra. We are convinced that the request is chic, in the extradition of only forums and almost no garbage.

To us, moreover, no amount is interesting, but quality as I said above. Go ahead. From the same forum we take another phrase of the footer: Also, it is quoted and foggy Google. In response, he shows that he knows more than 13 million results. We again briefly look at the issuance, add Dopcil and check the issuance with them. We are convinced that the request is excellent and also almost no garbage. In general, there are already 2 iron query. I suggest, the first forum is still to leave alone and continue to collect requests already on other forums. The benefit of Google is open on request 2006-2008, SIMPLE MACHINES LLC. We take from issuing, for example, these forums: http://www.snowlinks.ru/forum/index.php?topic\u003d1062.0 and http://litputnik.ru/forum/index.php?Action\u003dprintpage ;topic\u003d380.0 In the footholds, they take the following requests: "Powered by SMF 1.1.7" and "Powered by SMF 1.1.10" (to drive inquiries for the garrity always advise the tempered, because we need quality first). I think it is clear what we do, in the end we will have a certain database of requests to search for forums on the SMF engine (it is selected for example, with the other engines similarly).
It will look like this:

"Powered by SMF 1.1.2"

"Powered by SMF 1.1.3"

"Powered by SMF 1.1 RC2"

"Powered by SMF 1.1.4"

"Powered by SMF 1.1.8"

"Powered by SMF 1.1.7"

"2006-2008, SIMPLE MACHINES LLC"

And that's not all. Collecting the versions of the engines we are on some forums of the CMF in the footer we discover the "2001-2006, Lewis Media". Check this request, it also fully satisfies us. Find a similar request: "2001-2005, Lewis Media." Running footers Next to find the following query: "Smfone Design by A.M.a, Ported to SMF 1.1". Check - excellent. Etc. Half an hour of work and you have a wonderful database of requests on the engine, and for these requests Google will be banned much less often than if you use operators in them. And at the same time, the base will be significantly cleaner than if you use requests, such as "index.php? Topic \u003d", because here Google will give not only the forums we need, but also a lot of left resources where managed Leave a link to the topic toum. You can argue, they say, what's wrong with that? Others left the link, it means that we can. But! Links can leave not only a manter, but also other programs. Moreover, they can be specifically sharpened to leaving comments in a certain resource, the so-called narrow specialty software, plus such links could be left by hand. Again I repeat, we are not the quantity of the dumping, but the quality, the correct requests we will collect. Plus this method also in the fact that you will not need to configure in the HRERER sieve -Filter. , it can be simply turned off, because Google will almost not give to your garbage.
