Anyone ever developed something like this?

Hey Fellas,

I've looked around and can't find something I'm looking for. I'm wondering if any of you know what I'm talking about or have heard of a program that does this:

I'm looking for a program that can visit a specific homepage first. After it arrives on the homepage it looks for a pre-set link thats on that page and clicks on it. Then the program shuts the browser down, clears all cookies and cache, then repeats the process all over again by going to the same exact homepage, then looking for that same link again and clicking on it. This program doesn't need proxy or multi-threaded support.

I know shit about coding but that can easily be done with Win Automation, I use WA to make simple programs like this, here is what you will do in a few steps:

1. Download Win Automation and install it(it comes with full features for 30 days)
2. Download CCleaner and install it(this program is free)
3. Create a new job using macros, tick the first option, select browse and choose your browser(Chrome/Opera is very fast and non-crashing like Firefox), leave the other settings intact and start recording...
4. When you click start your browser will open(make sure you've set the homepage to your desired website), navigate to the link and click it, then use the hot keys to stop the recording, then on the left panel select "Run Application" and run CCleaner, clear cashe and cookies.
5. Convert the job to an .exe file
6. Run it any time you want

Now this may seem a lot of work but it takes only 2 minutes to complete since is an easy task, I'm sure programmers can do this with a few lines of code but I don't know programming and what I told you is very user friendly, enjoy

P.S. To avoid running the program every time, you can also make it with loops, so the program will do the tasks until a certain condition is met, this is more complicated but not difficult!

That's awesome advice man. I never thought such tasks could be done so easily. I always thought you had to be a programming expert to do such a thing. Definitely going to try this method on couple of tasks I have in mind. Thanks!

You're welcome mate! Also one more thing, there is another program which can make bots that are more related to automate web tasks then automating windows programs like WA, it's called Ubot but I don't have it and last time I checked it was quite expensive...

3 mins of PHP

PHP:

<?php

Fill in the vars below, upload to your hosting and call the page.
You must have curl and php installed on your hosting.

If you want to send a fake referrer to the first page, fill in below otherwise
delete the line or leave the variable blank.

Ubot looks good too. Looks like they're charging $245 for it. Maybe someday.

reinie · Feb 5, 2011

Yea I would just make a macro...

may i ask what you use this for?

m3ownz · Feb 5, 2011

Could be made in a few minutes in visual studio.

He's probably going to "attempt" one of the following:

1. AdSense clicks (ban coming)
2. Water down conversion rate of an offer
3. HYIP Surf & Click
4. Fake Leads
5. Fake Traffic Hits/Count Record

It's definitely something blackhat.

rebbeca · Feb 5, 2011

Could be made real easy with Marco Express

For your info, WinAutomation is in the download section and i use it to make some easy automation tasks like this.

I'm the Shittiest of the programmers in the whole web.

Or you can use ubot, if you have $200 to spare.

fatboy · Feb 5, 2011

If you want a Ubot version PM or IM me - can help you out.
I have a spare 30 minutes so if you get me by then you get a freebie.

Autumn · Feb 5, 2011

I would like to point out that there's a fully working solution in the fifth post...

Some people are not comfortable in running PHP scripts - some like Windows apps instead as its click the button and it works

Variety is the spice of life as they say

This alert comes for every Ubot made bots. Nothing to worry about.

Be sure to enter the exact Anchor text of the link you want the bot to click. And enter the delay time in seconds. The bot will clean the cookies after each run.

Hope that helps.

smartins · Feb 19, 2011

Anyone knows a similar solution but that uses proxies to randomize the ip address of the visitor?

The PHP might be enough or it might not be depending on what you want to accomplish.

buzz1212 · Feb 20, 2011

Hey, REDSTONE (REP). Guys like you just amaze me. Now I have to ask you two
probably dumb questions but here goes, What goes in the box next to GO? And,
do you need to use proxies to run it?

Anyone ever developed something like this?
