There are so many repetitive tasks that we do online these days. For example, when doing SEO, tasks like account creation and backlink dropping can be tiresome tasks. Wouldn't it be nice to automate some of these more mundane tasks so we can focus on more interesting things? Well, with UBot Studio, you now can. UBot studio is a complete development environment for creating web based bots (or scripts). These bots can basically handle anything you do in a web browser (and a little more). Once you get up to speed with creating UBot scripts you will be amazed at how powerful they can be.
Scripts in UBot are built using what it calls the Visual Scripting Language (VSL). Like the name implies, it is a graphical language and is quite easy to learn, even for non-programmers. Unlike traditional programming languages, there is no hard to understand syntax to memorize. You can build quite powerful bots just by knowing a handful of UBot commands. When you open up UBot Studio, you will be presented with two panes. On the left is the VSL "editor" and on the right is the browser window. Developing your scripts involves a mix of selecting elements in the browser window and then performing different functions on these elements using the various UBot commands.
Although UBot Studio is constantly involving, it currently includes a rich feature set of commands. Although it can be used for any type of web automation, you'll notice though that it has several commands specifically geared towards internet marketers. For example, it has a few CAPTCHA related commands for handling the various captchas you'll see online. Especially interesting is the automated CAPTCHA bypass support via DeCaptcher. If you have a DeCaptcher account you can have your UBot scripts running with true hands-free automation. Also useful is the built-in support for proxy switching and UBot's powerful page scraping functionality.
Creating robust and flexible bots requires flow control aspects like branching and looping which UBot supports very well. Since you are building bots against webpages that are constantly changing, using conditionals is a way to protect yourself against unforseen changes. This one of the big advantages UBot has over something like iMacros for example. UBot scripts just work more dependably and are less affected by minor changes to a page.
UBot now also supports the concept of libraries which allow you to develop your UBot scripts in a more modular way. This means you can make UBot scripts that are re-usable and also combine various UBot scripts together to create a master UBot script. Think something along the lines of SENuke, without the monthly fee. Expect to see some public libraries becoming available as more people start using it.
Developing your own personal UBot scripts is great and many people will be happy with that. However, one great feature of UBot Studio is the ability to compile your own UBot scripts into Windows executable files. This means you can distribute and even profit from your own UBot creations! The possibilities here are quite limitless one of the reasons to become a UBot developer.
The guys behind UBot are quite amazing as well. Seth Turin, the main developer behind UBot Studio is constantly pushing new updates out and improving the software. The UBot community is very helpful and there is a fairly active forum if you have any questions that you need answered. Seth has put together a very comprehensive set of video tutorials that cover most of the important UBot concepts. There are also several videos cropping up from 3rd party developers who are sharing their UBot creations as well. Definitely check out the video tutorials before you buy to see how UBot works.
When you automate the many mundane tasks you do in a day, you'll be impressed by how much more productive you feel. With UBot, you can do that and once you become proficient with it, you create some amazing scripts with it. If you have any technical skills whatsoever, do yourself a favor and check it out. You won't be sorry you did.
Purchasing UBot Studio normally will cost you $245. However, you can get a lifetime license of UBot for $199 if you use the coupon code BOTSALE.
