you can use quite a few languages it really depends on deployment. If I was running a bot on my windows computer I would look at c#/VB.net since you can scan the file downloaded in your browser and be able to parse it out looking for keywords in the text. If however you wanted it online I would run PHP since it can port to any server and does about the same thing as c#. But to be clear I have never made one but I do program on occasion and that is the direction I would start.

I personaly use Zennoposter it don't requirer any programing skills and is quit easy to use. But some times analytical thinking and experience in programing can help solving some more complex problems. But stil it is qite easy.

One of the easiest way to start making bots is using Ubot. You should check it out

You can also use Ubot(but Zennoposter is better) or iMacros. It's much easier to code everything.

if your looking to code a REAL bot start learning a programming language. UBOT and such is only scraping the surface, take the time to learn and you'll be able to create ways to make boatloads of money.

It all depends on what the "bot" should be able to do. If you need anything from scraping the web to posting the content to your site, use uBot (you dont even need to buy it, try to find VPS with uBot - you will pay like 10 bucks a month for it). But if want something more powerful, you should probably start learning some prog. language. I prefer Ruby.

Check the perl programming language, especially the www::mechanize modules...basically you put some parts together and you got a bot that runs on windows, linux, on your pc or any server...
