I'd be all over that as well

Has anyone been successful in navigating through aol mail's links for verification purposes?

Yea, will def do that. But now i've run into another problem..automatic link verification. I'm not sure I can do this with aol mail, unlike gmail which is fine since it's just simple html..oh well, back to the drawing board

Does anyone use AOL as their free email choose in their bots? I'm not switching proxies, but i'm clearing cookies and it looks like i can only get 5 or 6 accounts made before i hit a roadblock. What are your experiences?

Thinkbot, you just need to get in there and play Grab some of the bots off this forum and try to understand the workflow of the commands. Spend some time with it and then it'll become second hand

Ok, so now i'm thinking that if I can send a ctrl-f5 refresh the page should work. Anyone attempted a sendkey like that to refresh a page?

Yay, another brain fart time..figure i just need to send a javascript command, BUT, i've got a posting entry that's failing due to improper form expiration. The site is www.a1-webmarks.com Try botting the submission page with delays and see if you hit the same wall i did. I see the hidden form with the odd variable string, i just don't know how to change it.

lol, good to know. Thanks man. How in depth is your bot? You giving it a set number of forums to go out to, or are you scraping google results and then extracting forum login/register urls to parse through?

I'm moving on to another bot for backlinking purposes and am now faced with having to handle NoSpam questions with vbulletin. Has anyone found a logic path for handling these forms?

Aaron is right, the selection of the categories might be the biggest hurdle in an otherwise easy coding bot application. Just think of work flow when you start your bot design and go from there..are you going to have a drop down box to select which categorie you want to submit to, or something else?

OUCH!

Ooh Seth is teasing us What exactly would be your application for using rasdial set?

scrape the page for links, put the scraped link into a list, and then cycle through a navigation statement with the urls in that list

Yea, the logic code for that can be rather challenging..it all depends on what approach you take. You could always while search a page for a specific phrase and keep the code going while that phrase is still there, or setup the decaptcher as a subroutine and call the subroutine when conditions aren't met. Or do what i do for some of my bots..if statements repeated x number of times. That way, if the decaptcher service is being manned by a bunch of retarded monkeys that shift, you won't get nailed for 100 or more false captcha entries. just have it fail out after the 10th if statement or so

Ashley, The sendkeys chosen field should be used.

Yea, as stated Ubot does handle proxy (both public and private) pretty well. But one thing to remember, if you're doing any kind of submission or account setup at various sites, depending on each site you may only be able to get away with x number of entries/tries per proxy. So depending on the scope of your bot, you may need a LOT of proxies

Yes, I was able to. i'll post up the code when i get home

Ubot Guys is right now target. Service oriented bot usage is def the way to go if you're going to want to do something like what he suggested. Plus, it's really NOT that hard to do. The most work you'll be doing is playing with php and mysql..

Also, don't be to concerned about whether a link is nofollow or not. You WANT a mix of no follow and do follow. It's more natural in the make up of your backlinking profile to your sites.

Howdy everyone, i figured i'd post this up in case some of you run into this problem in the near future. I'm not as prolific as a poster as some helpful guys here, BUT, i can claim credit as being one of the first ubot purchasers and have been developing my ass off in regards to different bots, usages, and so forth. I probably have over 30 bots now and climbing My big thing now is compiling a bunch of bots to attack the job of creating backlinks across several scripts in play across the net. Just finishing up some fine touches and am going to put together a launcher via expression blend, but

Ok, here's some insight into some bot defense mechanisms..i'm automating posting on wikispaces and the login just isn't working even though it works fine in a normal browser outside of Ubot. This code might prove to be the key... form action="https://session.wikispaces.com/session/login" method="post" onsubmit="this.browserTime.value = Math.floor((new Date()).getTime() / 1000); return true;"> <input type="hidden" name="goto" value=""/> <input type="hidden" name="currentSlave" value="6f67e0244a79e085f2ec2266ae554f18"/> <input type="hidden" name="browserTime"/> <tab

ok, it's working now..that was odd. The var tag i bodyvalue for that field, and it's good to go. Weird.

Anyone have any advice on that field? Think it might be javascript related

I've built a bot that targets sites like Angela's (and paul's) backlinks. It's a no brainer on how easy it is for most functions, however, for forums that have the nospam questions, it's a little tougher. I still see some benefit linkwise to having profile links. It's all in how you implement (and ping!) them.

I got a private proxy last night, implemented in one of my compiled bots, and it's working nicely. Just thought i'd give you my impressions so far And this is in use of web 2.0 account setup sites.
