Yup, I agree. That's a good point. I have told business owners this same thing and they just stare blankly. They have no idea what this even means and they don't understand that the repetitive things they pay people to do can be done by software. I tell people I specialize in lead generation software that gets unlimited leads from various social networks. This, they can understand and they are interested in.

Nice! Can you explain what this is?

There was an interesting topic that came up on the skype group, so I thought I would start a thread about it. The question was, "what are some ideas to make money from selling bots to local businesses?" TJ popped on with a good idea about a bot that can do lead gen for local auto dealerships. I won't repost the exact strategy here since it's his idea and I'm not sure if he wants it on the forum. But I have had a lawyer ask me to create a bot that scrapes a database for people who have filed a certain type of lawsuit before. With local businesses, it's all about picking up the phone and

Couple of questions: Is the Linkedin account creator multithreaded using the http post and local dictionary plugins? Did you figure out a way on Linkedin to get around the issue of failed captchas? It seems like when you create too many accounts from the same ip it will give you captchas, but after a while no matter what you enter in the captcha it says that it failed. This seems to happen after creating maybe five accounts or less and I would like to create ten accounts per ip. This happens with both sockets and through the browser.Thanks! Edit: it might also be the user agent that cau

Hi All, Can someone who has integrated the ubot locker key gen with warrior+ affiliate program please post instructions? And maybe this could be added to the termexplorer pdf? I have done this before, but it's been a while and I forget how I got it working. I may have even posted in this thread about it before, but I don't have time to go through 20+ pages in this thread. All I found on warrior plus side was this: http://www.warriorplus.com/support/knowledgebase.php?article=1 and that didn't do anything. Basically, the payment works fine, but it seems like paypal's ipn isn't communica

Cool, thanks for your purchase! Please send me a PM with the site you're scraping and I will take a look at it.

No. That's not really possible, as far as I know, especially if the php file redirects visitors. Maybe it's possible to download php files? I don't know, I haven't looked into this.

It probably won't work on a site with thousands of pages, but most of those are content management systems so it wouldn't work anyway. It can definitely get a lot of pages, though, especially if there are links to them on the index page and the href tags are structured something like this: href="stuff/morestuff/mypage.html". This is how it looks for pages because this is the common "best practices" for building static websites. Otherwise, it would save all pages that it's linking to, even if it's on another domain, and it just wouldn't work very well. This might change in the future, but t

If that's the case, then you can do that now with the software. Every time you make changes on the wix site, just scrape it again and re-upload to your server.. It will save an identical copy of your wix site as one file - index.html. You just can't edit it, you'll need to do that inside Wix.

I don't know. I hadn't even considered this until quite_interesting's post. I will take a look at wix when I have time (possibly over the weekend) and see how feasible it is to incorporate this. What exactly would you want a tool to do with wix? Would you need to be able to edit the html in a text editor, or would it simply be so you can upload an exact copy of a wix page you already created to your own server?

Hi All, Is there a quick way to convert my bots into ones that are multithreaded using the free local dictionary plugin from aymen? It's very time consuming to switch it node by node and I usually create my bots first using global variables for testing purposes and then switch it over to local dictionary. I was thinking of creating a bot to do this for me and offer it here for free. Basically, you would load your code and it would find certain things and then replace it with code for local dictionary. I don't think it's that simple, though. Almost seems like you HAVE to go through it

I'll keep this in mind. Thanks!

As in http://www.wix.com/? I don't know. I haven't tried, but I will go and try now. EDIT: I just tried and the short answer is: no, not really. Wix stores all the images, css and js at wix.com/longFilePath (rather than just img/mypicture.jpg). This wouldn't be much of a problem, but they are using javascript to pull all the text. So this bot will save an index.html file that reflects the exact wix site and you could change the images, but not the text because it's being called with their javascript (or at least that's what I can tell from my quick glance). Edit2: I might update it la

I'm about to get started on this over the weekend. Just curious, how long does it usually take you to set this up (not including the time to program the bot)? Just the time to set up the website, form, mysql, everything to make it work?

Thanks aymen! I get "Error uploading file. Operation timed out." Do you actually type it just like this, or do you replace 'value' with some value for each parameter?

I'm trying to upload a profile image to Linkedin and I'm not really sure how to go about it. I haven't used the $http upload feature in aymen's http plugin before. Aymen mentioned to me that in order to use the plugin for this sort of thing I need to use $http upload. I'm just not sure where I need to plug in the data. These are the available fields on $http upload: URLParamatersFile to UploadFile param nameContent TypeUser AgentReferrerProxyTimeoutI know what to put for URL, User Agent, Referrer, Proxy and Timeout, but I'm not sure about what goes where for the other fields. When I ch

I'm just curious what you guys would recommend when selling lots of different bots, each with their own landing page on their own domain? Do you upload ubot locker to to each domain and have just one project on the server? If you do this, do you use the same mysql database across all your domains for ubot locker, or do you create a new one for each install? Or do you just use one domain to host all your projects and licenses? I would think that you would want to install it on each domain since the emails that send the license details can only come from one domain (it would awesome to see a

Wow, this is amazing, Kev! Good one, thanks for the detailed info. I've bookmarked this and will be referring back when I move my bots over to this model.

Hey, cheer up, dude. There is tons of money to be made with ubot. I've made more with this than anything else I've sold online. You just need to think of something useful that will either help people make money or save them time (time=money) and then sell it. Ubot really lowers the barriers of entry into this space.

Almost all of us are involved in affiliate marketing. I want someone to get financial credit for me signing up for a service or product that they told me about. I would rather click an affiliate link than something that's not an affiliate link (as long as it's transparent, like they aren't using a cloaking redirect script and it actually links directly to their affiliate link). As long as they are providing useful information and it's not blatant spam, I say allow it.

Please. Just stop. Trust me on this one, take Traffik Cop's advice and start with something different. AFTER you get comfortable automating some random little-known sites, then move up to twitter. We aren't trying to discourage you (in fact, it's just the opposite), but we are trying to save you a shit ton of time and probably add on a few stress-free years to your life. Here's what will happen: you will spend weeks trying to figure out one little thing on Twitter, just to finally give up. Then you will go back to it and have that "ah haa!" moment and figure it out, just to get stuck

Beta has already been released, this will be the actual version. Hopefully they get MOST of the bugs ironed out, but I would expect that this release to still have a good amount to fix and I'm not sure if they will make the 1st october deadline. Honestly, these things always take longer than expected and it sounds like there are quite a few bugs in beta right now. I'm just hoping that the sockets work well with cookies in a multithreading environment... that would make me soooo happy...

More specifically, how to multithread with sockets and get cookies working (it sounds like they may have fixed the issue with cookies not working properly when multithreading, but I'm not 100% sure).

Nice one. Hey Aymen, why don't you shoot me over your paypal login credentials so I can take a look at your accounts to get me motivated
