Internet marketing is full of repetitive tasks. One of my 2010 goals was to automate as many things as possible. Some things you can outsource to contractors or employees, some things its quicker to slog through on your own. But as a general rule any task that you can automate is a good thing. I am always looking for tools to save me time and few months ago I came across a tool that is a serious time saver. It’s a visual scripting language editor called Ubot that allows you to build automation programs (or bots) with almost no programming knowledge. This is stuff that could be done before if you were or knew a really good programmer, but now you can do yourself in almost a WYSIWYG like environment.
The possibilities for this software are endless. Its basically a blank canvas. So far I have build a few bots for Mysql maintenance tasks, some keyword list building and refining, and even to simplify some accounting tasks. I have a list of at least 10 more things I plan to automate with the tool. The nice thing about the software is that it creates an .exe file that you can send to contractors or employees for them to use.
As most of my readers know, I don’t do paid reviews or endorsements. But I do like to share products that I personally use on a regular basis. So I contacted the owner of the software to see if they were able to give a deal to visitors of my blog. He agreed to cut $50 off the one time purchase price (this is not a rebill product). You can buy it here for $199 instead of $249, be sure to use the coupon code cdfnet to get that discount. That $199 will pay for itself in one saved outsourcing project.
Thanks for the nice words Chad. As a added bonus, if anyone here buys using your coupon, just send me a quick mail (support.ubotstudio.com) and I will send over some nice “production use” bots to get you started with UBot Studio right away!
I’m not really sure is automation of too many things in web marketing is a good idea but in this application it could be just like hitting a bullseye.
The software looks interesting and i would like to try it out but its a little to expensive for me. Is there a trial version available?
If you like automation you may want to check out this software called WinAuto or something like that, it’s pretty good. I downloaded it though but didn’t use it since it was too complicating.
SEO cannot be done automatically as we all wish. You need to start of by implimenting some basic SEO features on you’re site in order to get everything running and improving. With time new SEO tricks occur, keep upto date and impliment them.

It sounds like a good idea, but I can’t actually think of too many things that are that predictable that I could program a bot to do it. Perhaps something like social bookmarking or directory submission might work out. Most tasks require at least some human interaction due to random variables.
I’d have to agree that seo mostly cannot be done through automated means. That being said, I am going to do some research to see if I can find some good strategies to use with ubot. It might be an easy way to at least add some low quality links on a daily basis.
