I screwed myself on this one. I have a company that called something like "Joe's Plumbing". Since my keyword is in my title, I used THAT as my anchor text for years. Worked like a charm until Panda. I wasn't hammering my main keyword i.e. "plumbing", but thought I was doing a crude version of branding by using my full company name. Now it looks to Google that I over optimized for my keyword. :-(

Geez, if you're whoring for Facebook friends and likes, g'wan over to youlikehits or addmefast. You'll want to build a bot for THOSE sites...or you can just order one from custombotsolutions.

Having aged Twitter accounts seems to get less scrutiny by Twitter. (I guess some of my failed Twitter marketing attempts I did two years ago may pay off with just the accounts I created!) Do a search on Fiverr for PVA (phone verified accounts) for Gmail and other sites. No idea how I'm supposed to phone verify accounts with Ubot so it's easier to just ordering them. I managed to buy 50 for 5 bucks.

As a non-programmer (I make pretty pictures with After Effects and Photoshop for a living), it took a while to get the "flow" of how things work. I'm sure to someone who KNOWS how to program, most of it is self-evident. As an example, what are the ways you would use a variable? I know what it IS, but how do you use it? These guys show a few examples, but it's certainly not all the ways you can apply them. After a while you end up with a "bag of tricks" on how to do specific things.

Thanks for the tip. Now it works. My problem is I'm so used to version 3.5 , that I don't think to use the onscreen image select box to choose something. I've now been exploiting this for a couple of things.

I had this working fine in version 3.5 http://i.imgur.com/Kyt03ge.png I just want to select the top choice - NEWTONVILLE, MA. Facebook forces you to choose a menu item, you can't type "Newtonville, MA" and be done with it. I was able to choose this is ver 3.5 by doing an ARROW DOWN and ENTER key. Simple right? Can't do it in version 4. Here's what I got (log in to Facebook) navigate("https://www.facebook.com/search/results.php?type=users", "Wait") wait(3) type text(<name="q">, "new", "Standard") wait(3) click(<title="Search for people, places and things">, "Left Click", "N

How do I get Ubot to search the actual URL for something? Some sites will throw you to a captcha or even ban page (Twitter/Facebook) if you've done something naughty. I know I can look for an element on the page, but I know I'm in trouble and I need to stop my bot IF I've ended up on a certain page. As an example on Twitter - they may throw you to their captcha page: https://twitter.com/login/captcha?redirect_after_login=%2F&username_or_email= Any way of saying "if the URL has "captcha" in it - do this"

Cool thanks. That should do it. Looks like I gotta do a 'Loop While' and keep spinning/checking the $text length of my variable.

I got a running Twitter auto poster that spins a message along with a users name. Occasionally the message goes over 140 characters. I basically want to add this to my bot: Set {variable} after spinning message If {variable} = 141+ characters = SPIN AGAIN If {variable} has 140 characters or < = DO NOTHING Is this a regex thing? If I gotta throw a couple of bucks at this just to have somebody pay attention, I'll certainly do it.

So I created a DEFINE, see it listed in my Custom commands, runs fine. Now I want to go back and edit/change it. (in v3.5 you could edit a SUB very easily) How do I do this?

I've created a bot that follows and likes all sorts of stuff on Pinterest. I've now got my list of followers and I want to compare that to my FOLLOWING list and click the UNFOLLOW icon for each. I'm just not sure how I go about comparing some data before I click a link or icon. My scraped FOLLOWERS list looks like this: /thepinsterested/follow/ /hamptoninnmonro/follow/ /atozcomm/follow/ /dazzlepix/follow/ http://imgur.com/colqz.jpg When I jump to the FOLLOWING side of things, I've got this list of people I want to compare to my list and I want to click the UNFOLLOW button if they aren'

Well Freddie77, you won't appreciate my comment either.. Youtube automatically stops the counter around 300 views. You can certainly run the counter up to 300 views with this bot. At the 300 mark, Youtube checks to see WHERE the views have been coming from. If they all came from one IP (like this bot), then your counter will "freeze" and will ignore any more views from your IP. Just throwing in a few more proxies and rotating through them won't do it. You need to have a descent amount of IP variety to push past this limit. There are other websites that deal SPECIFICALLY with this issue lik

I've scraped tons of things with v3.5 using PAGE SCRAPE. What is the equivalent of doing that with ver 4? Version 4 seems to be forcing me to choose an element and just dealing with that code. I got used to selecting left/right aspect of scraping in v3.5 - can I work like that in v4? There are many times when I want to select the last portion of an element and continue to the first part of the NEXT element. One thing I'm trying to do: Go to Facebook Display the friends of a user Do a search by name/current city/hometown etc. Scrape search results (user URLs) - anyone who has a +1 Add Frien

How do I tell Ubot to cycle through a list, then once I hit the end, start again from the top? Somebody had mentioned how to do that a while ago..can't find it.

So I've watched Aaron Nimocks tutorial on Javascript on Squidoo. (http://player.vimeo/video/8798088 Got the hang of it for the examples he had shown: Run Javascript: jqGeneral.incVal('module_35'); Run Javascript: jqGeneral.addModules(); It was easy picking out the appropriate javascript from the code. I want to add a comment and click on the SUBMIT button on a page like this: (works if you are only logged in) http://www.squidoo.com/unique-fences-and-fence-plans The javascript code looks like this: <SPAN class=gb_submit_fake onclick="SquidooComments.new_form('58505622', '0', jQuer

I'm just trying to find a string to select the last half of a url. I want to trim off the text to the right of the last forward slash. I want this: http://user.domain.com/post/11735684801/this-is-a-post To turn into this http://user.domain.com/post/11735684801 The flow I want to achieve is - start at the end, select everything back to the first slash. What I've come up with is this: http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/7052/grepexample.jpg With \x2f.+.$ - it ignores all the slashes to the first one, why? What am I doing wrong? With [0123456789]\x2f.+.$ - I'm almost there, but I don

I'm trying to scrape some proxies off of a webpage - http://www.ip-adress.com/proxy_list/ I just want the Elite proxies and I've got my scraped list looking like this: 207.171.20.220:80</TD><TD>Anonymous</TD> 64.71.138.95:80 221.5.51.235:8909 202.114.8.205:8909 84.73.125.222:80</TD><TD>Anonymous</TD> 114.34.159.215:8909 208.92.249.134:80 162.105.249.203:8909 190.145.116.7:80</TD><TD>Anonymous</TD> 121.12.100.67:8909 210.101.131.232:8080</TD><TD>Transparent</TD> 80.193.72.145:80 201.245.64.98:3128</TD><TD>Tr

So I'm trying to automate www.youlikehits.com It's a site that will give you likes, folllows and views for Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Digg etc. When you attempt to follow someone on Twitter from their site, a 2nd browser window pops up. Can I tell Ubot to switch to that window? (then program something for it) Anyone get anywhere with youlikehits.com? Seems worthy of a bot.

I basically went over the whole process here: http://ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php?/topic/4663-noobs-guide-to-javascript-strings/

See if these sites do anything for ya. http://www.increasr.com/ http://www.youlikehits.com/ http://www.earnlikes.com/ http://nuggol.com/ These were on the list of sites I needed to make bots for.

Wow. Never knew about this site. Thanks. You tellin' me I should be able to create a sub which checks that site every time I need a new proxy, scrapes the latest one and inserts that into anything that I create which loops? And I'll never have to refresh a list of proxys ever again? Hmmmm...

Look, this is basically it. This assumes you're already logged in: http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/5226/twiends.png Loop that as many times as you can. I've added a couple of things to my newer version like scraping the display time and adding a few seconds to it. This way you won't have to wait the default of 76 seconds that I have here. Again, get the Pro version any way you can. There's gonna be times when you'll have to do a manual click so it's worth it if you're not just screwing around with bots at this point. Thanks for those other sites!

Like I said, with the pro version of Ubot, you just put the mouse on the video and program click. Works like a charm, I've had one Ubot running for days at at time. Gotten over 2k of views so far. Seems to fail when Twiends wants to update and you've got to restart. I was looking forward to scooping up Facebook friends, but they removed it!

Without any looking at the html or UBot - I'm guessing I would do this: Post your comment. (as long as the video wasn't getting hammered with comments, yours will be the first one for a while) Select by attribute all the "vote up" buttons Use CHOOSE FROM CHOSEN and figure out which number your comment is. I'm guessing it will be #3, after the two mostly voted ones on top. Can some sort of javascript be used to select and click the "vote up" button? If not, move mouse and click by position. (with pro version) Still not sure how well the click by position will work if the page has different bl

(5 minutes later after going through my fridge) OOH! I just thought of something! You can find all your latest comments on your CHANNEL page within the RECENT ACTIVITY box. (if you have it turned on) http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/883/recentactivity.png THAT link will take you right to the comment you want to vote up. It looks like it hops around on the page, but at least you don't have to rummage through dozens or even hundreds of comments to find yours.
