New Tool - Queries Left Today

By Kaptain Krayola | February 27, 2008

A member contacted the Kaptain earlier and asked for a way to keep track of how many queries they have left throughout the day so we whipped up a quick tool to allow you to do that via the API.

You can access the tool here:

http://getk5.com/api/dailyqueryleft.php?apikey=[insert your API key here]



Obviously, you will need your API key to get this information.

The Kaptain can create more stats tools for you guys if you want but part of how K5 works is not keeping any records of how you use the API so he doesn’t bother with keeping your usage records. If this is something you would like to see let the Kaptain know and he’ll get to work building it for you.

An Exciting K5 First Week

By Kaptain Krayola | November 18, 2007

First off thanks to everyone who has joined and is using K5 as their content generator of choice.  Second, thanks to everyone who has been asking questions, making blog posts, talking trash, and otherwise helping to spread the K5 word.

K5’s first week was actually a pretty good week.  We ended up with a fist full of members that all seem to be happy.  Of the members we got several have already upgraded their memberships due to K5 being better than expected and their query counts running out a lot faster than expected.

For our users it seems that bot visits are way up, indexing is going well, and they have all seen a nice increase in activity on their sites.  One of our members reported a 500% increase in google bot visits just changing his content source.  Apparently with the new K5 content the bots are eating his sites alive.

So again, thanks to everyone who has given K5 a chance and we look forward to a long and prosperous kontent kreation relationship.

K5 SSEC Integration

By Kaptain Krayola | November 13, 2007

The Kaptain was contacted by a user of SSEC who wanted to integrate the K5 content into their SSEC template so the Kaptain whipped up a quick php script to take care of that for them.

Click here to download the script

It’s very simple to use, all you have to do is create a folder named “cache” here: /var/www/simplified/ or change the path in the script to where your cache folder is. Make sure the folder is writable so the script can cache the content returned from K5 for each page.

Once that is in place add the following code to your SSEC template wherever you want the K5 content to appear:

$keyword = ‘{%keyword%}’;
$numgen = 1;
include “../k5-ssec.php”;

Note: the $numgen variable is how many paragraphs you want to appear.

Its a very basic script so feel free to edit and improve it. Do the Kaptain a favor and send over any additions to it so he can make it available for everyone else.

Enter K5 : Kreating Krappy Kontent Since 2007

By Kaptain Krayola | November 2, 2007

The Following has been stolen borrowed from K5 - Kaptain Krayola’s Krappy Kontent Kreator over at kaptainkrayola.com but since The Kaptain wrote it originally he doesn’t feel bad using it on this site as well. So here you go, a brief overview of K5:

Kaptain Krayola’s Krappy Kontent Kreator, or K5, is a content generator that writes 100% unique content one word at a time based on some patterns and a large database of words. The words are split up into which part of speech they are (noun, verb, adjective, etc) and stored accordingly. The content generator then assembles these words into sentences and sentences into paragraphs. It (obviously) blends in your chosen keywords at a density that you control. If you want a really keyword rich page you can crank it up and if you want to go leaner on the keywords you can crank it down.

That’s great Kaptain, but does it work worth a shit?
The Kaptain is glad you asked! From his experiments google seems to love the content it writes because technically it’s syntactically correct thus looking like real content. The test sites pulled good traffic and the AdSense clicks paid very nicely. Everything seemed to be going great.
As far as humans are concerned it reads like content translated from German by a crappy online translator so you will probably get nailed if anyone looks too closely.

That’s fantasitc but how can this benefit me?
Well, the Kaptain has decided that he’s willing to let a hand full of people have access to the content generator to use in their own mass page generation schemes. The Kaptain has two versions of the application - one is in ColdFusion with an MSSQL DB and the other is in PHP with a MySQL DB. The other option is to contact the Kaptain about using his API and letting his servers do the work.

Why are you telling us this you evil bastard?
The purpose of this post is basically to gauge interest in the application/API to see if it’s worth making available. So if you are interested in the app get a hold of the Kaptain one of two ways. MSN: kaptainkrayola[at]hotmail.com and ICQ: 85896389.
