In this guide I'll lay out exactly how to start with PPI, from joining a Network, to downloading, binding, and uploading files.

This Guide is VERY in depth, it is not as complicated as it may appear.

I will be demonstrating a method that uses torrents to distribute warez bound with your pay-per-install executable. This is the most common method used at Pay Per Install.org

Part 1. Choosing a Network

What this means is choosing whose .exe you will choose to distribute. There are a number of networks, some good and some bad.

At the top of this page, you can see networks that HaRRo, the administrator here, has identified as legitimate PPI networks.

I would advise picking from the networks above, as other networks not listed here are not supported at this forum, and may be scams.

My personal reccomendation would be LuxeCash, which is preferred by a large number of members here. They have a consistently updated executable, pay on time, and will raise your rates when you are consistently bringing a large number of installs per day.

If you choose Luxecash, after you apply to them you will need to have your account activated. As they approve all applications manually, the fastest method is to speak to them.
Their Contact details are as follows:

Email/MSN: support@luxecash.com
Icq: 350919275
Aim: luxecash

Part 2. Torrent Creator/Uploader

Before we get to actually uploading Torrents, we need a program for uploading torrents. For this tutorial I'll use µTorrent, as it's a very simple downloader, creator, and uploader.

µTorrent can be downloaded from: µTorrent

When you finish downloading and installing µTorrent, this window should appear. I advise using the default port it shows. Click 'Test if port is forwarded properly'. If the page that opens tells you it is not forwarded properly, you may have to add that port to Windows Firewall or forward it through your router.



I will provide an explanation on uploading later in this tutorial.

Part 3. Downloading Applications

In this part we are finding applications which we will bind and distribute. The idea is to find applications which will (hopefully!) be popular and be downloaded a large number of times.

To start off, I advise visiting one of the following pages: The Pirate Bay - Top 100 , Mininova - Today's Torrents
These are the files that are most popular on 'The Pirate Bay' and 'Mininova'.
Since we can only bind an .exe with another .exe and make it look normal, I advise downloading Applications. Games are large, so unless you are going to invest in dedicated hosting, you won't have the speed to upload nearly as many games as small apps.

The popular apps you find on those pages will be some of the Applications you will want to upload. Experiment, and find out which programs get the most downloads and seeds when we upload these applications later on.

If you have a premium RapidShare account, you will probably find it easier to download from a warez forum like http://warez-bb.org. Warez forums can also be a good place to find popular programs. I look for applications that I commonly see on the first page of the applications forum, and the number of search results the name of the application has.

Download a number of applications from a torrent site or warez forum. In part 7 we'll be uploading these!

Part 4. How to Bind

These are the real basics for binding. In this step we're not binding anything.

Essentially, with binding we're taking the .exe we downloaded from Luxecash or your PPI network, and merging it with another .exe . In this case it would be a program's installer or a keygen for an application.

If you signed up with Luxecash, you can find the executable you are going to on the 'Installation Files' page. Click "Request Installation Code" and download the installation file



DO NOT under any circumstances run this file on your own PC. This is for distribution only on others PCs, and is notoriously hard to remove. If you do by chance run it accidentally, download good antivirus software such as Kaspersky. In a few days you can hope Kaspersky will detect it.

If your antivirus deletes the .exe you will have to disable your antivirus.

In the case you are using "TheInstalls" PPI Network, they provide a bundler you will have to run to generate the .exe you will bind and distribute. In that case you may run it, but do not run the .exe the bundler generates.

Part 5. Binding

For binding, I'm going to use iexpress, which is what most people will start off binding with. It's also the most complicated 'binder' you will ever find; It only gets easier from here.

If you are looking for a faster, easier, and plain better solution then iexpress, I recommend MassBinder2 by NesterDwarf: MassBinder2 - New Improved Version

The catch? He charges $20 for it, which isn't much, when you consider it's quite possible to earn $100 per day (and more) with PPI. I advise sticking with iexpress until you're comfortable with PPI and making good cash each day.

On to the tutorial.

Firstly, find the legitimate EXE you want to bind. This could be a Keygen for an application like Photoshop, an EXE for an antivirus, etc.

1. Open your start menu. Click on Run. when "Run" opens - type 'iexpress' and click 'OK'


2. iexpress opens. Don't change anything on this window and click 'Next'


3.Don't change anything on this window and click 'Next'


4.On this page type in anything. Since no windows from iexpress will be displayed, the title is irrelevant. Click 'Next'


5.We do not want to prompt the user with anything. Click 'Next'.


6.We do not want to display a license. Click 'Next'.


7.On this page add both your executable from the Pay-Per-Install company you chose, and the .exe of the application you chose.


8.Choose "Install Program" as your Pay-Per-Install .exe and "Post Install Command" as your application .exe.


9.Leave as Default and click 'Next'.


10.We do not want to display a message. Click 'Next'.


11.Choose where you want the EXE to be saved. Leave options as default and click 'Next'.


12. Select 'No restart' and click 'Next'


13. Select 'Don't Save'. This is only useful if you plan on binding the same files again.


14.Great. You've finished that long and arduous process. Click 'Next' and create the package!


15.The package should be created! Click 'Finish' and you're done!

Part 6. Making Torrents

Now that we have our .exe , we want to make a torrent which we can upload.

1.Open µTorrent, and click the magic wand.


2.Since I have a folder which contains a number of files, I will select 'Add Directory'. Another option is to ZIP or RAR your files, in which case you would choose 'Add File'


3.In 'Trackers', enter any trackers you would like to use. I prefer 'The Pirate Bay' tracker, which is
Other Trackers:
4.Select 'Start Seeding', and click 'Create and save as...' Save it where you would like. I save my torrents in the same folder as my folders.

Part 7. Uploading to Torrent Sites

There are quite a number of torrent sites to upload to.

Mininova
The Pirate Bay

BitTorrentMonster
Torrent Portal
myBittorrent
Bitenova
TorrentBox.com - Torrent Listings
Seedpeer
Torrent Reactor
SUMOTorrent.com

Mininova and ThePirateBay will get you the most downloads out of all the sites, but uploading to more sites means when your torrents are deleted from some they will remain active at others.

Uploading Tips:
Catchy title. Include things like '+ Keygen' or '+ Crack', '#1 this' '#1 that'
Description. I bookmark any torrent or file I download if the poster included a description. I refer back to that when I am posting my torrent.

For more Uploading Tips, See Siek's Thread: Uploading to TPB and Mininova - Tips / Bans / Etc

Note:Torrent sites will ban your IP when they find out your torrents include adware (PPI). Refer to my guide for changing your IP: GUIDE or use a proxy to register on sites and post torrents (Socks4/5 proxy only for Mininova)
I'm sure you can find a guide on using a proxy on the forum or google.

Part 8. Getting around Bans - ADDED August 27th, 2008

With Torrent sites (Mininova, etc) getting better at catching people, getting around bans becomes a lot more important in the grand scheme. There are a number of topics around the forums that you can find if you browse or search.

Because torrent sites ban by IP, getting new IPs to use, or "proxies" becomes very important. There are a number of sites that offer proxies for sale. A popular website for proxies is Proxy service VIP72.com unfortunately with the number of users using this site to get proxies to upload PPI and malware to torrent sites, many of these proxies are quickly banned (at the time of this posting). If you choose to use one of these sites to get proxies, there are many threads on this forum you can find discussing this topic.

Another method to find proxies is to use a tool to randomly search for them. I apologize I haven't looked into this method and cannot provide any info on it. I have seen some posts on these forums before on this topic that you could probably find with some work.

Part 9. FAQ

Q:I have posted some torrents and my Account on Luxecash is still showing $0. What did I do wrong?
A:Luxecash has a delay of around 12 hours. If no installs show up after 24 hours, you've likely bound the files incorrectly

Q:What do I upload to the Torrent sites?
A:Upload the .torrent file you created!

Q:I have a slow upload speed, how can I seed my torrents faster?
A:Search for "seedbox" on the forum. One of these is currently the easiest way to boost up your seeding speed.

Wow! excellent guide Tsincaat!
Also, congrats on VIP
