Where is the Nobility in Carpal Tunnel?

ltdraper — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 22:00:00 +0100

We've heard a comment from a number of "A-Listers" that all of your social media activity should be "organic." That you shouldn't use automation or do anything that isn't natural with sites like Digg, because somehow that's cheating.

Our question back is "What's so noble about carpal tunnel syndrome?" If you're using automation to do the same things you would do if you sat at the computer and clicked yo [...]

Add the ProBlogger 538 Twitter Users that Blog List the Easy Way

ltdraper — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 22:00:00 +0100

We did the Imacro Script to Add the Problogger Digg Friends the Easy Way earlier this week.

Now we've done the same thing for the giant 538 Twitter Users That Blog list that he put together.

You still need to install Imacro, but this time to make it easier you only need the FireFox version. You can click on the Imacro icon in our sidebar. Then just run this script. Be sure that you're already logged into Twitter before starting the script.

Thanks to Darren for putti [...]

Add the ProBlogger Friends List the Easy Way

ltdraper — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:00:00 +0100

Darren Rowse at Pro-Blogger has collected Hundreds of Bloggers to Interact with on Digg and StumbleUpon. It's in the form of a bunch of links that you can visit and hit "Add Friend". That's a great list because these are all people who will most likely be interested in your message.

I suppose you could spend several hours adding all those friends and develop a good case of carpal tunnel, or you could just use an Imacro Script to Add Those Digg Friends. It will run through that enti [...]

Social Suite Beta Test Conclusions and Completion

admin — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 22:00:00 +0100

I'd like to thank everyone for their testing on the Social Suite with Digg Analytics and Automation. It was, well, interesting. I've done a lot of beta testing inside client sites but haven't really released a program into the wild since before the internet. (Remember FidoNet and shareware distribution? Yikes!)

At the end of the day we decided that it was usable enoug [...]

Downloading Previous Versions of iMacro for FireFox

admin — Tue, 06 May 2008 22:00:00 +0100

Wow, that may be the most specific post title I have ever written. But I want to capitalize on the extreme amount of google love we're getting lately to save someone else a LOT of time.

We're doing a beta of our Social Suite and it depends on iOpus's most excellent iMacro for FireFox. Except that they released a new version (6.0.4.1) which killed our [...]

If you would be interested in beta testing our new social media automation product before it is released, please drop me an email.

We're very excited a [...]

Imacro as an ETL Tool, or Screen Scraping on Steroids

Don — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 22:00:00 +0100

I'm not talking about evil, low-life scraping that involves stealing content.

Data Wants To Be Free

In this case we're looking at how to get data out of an existing system that has nothing more than a web interface. Perhaps for political reasons your IT department won't give you SQL access to the database, but you really need to pull out a copy of the product [...]

Free SEO Tool to Ping Lost Backlinks

admin — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 09:00:00 +0100

We all know that some backlinks never make it to technorati and therefore are less likely to be "discovered" by google. And all your backlinks are important for SERPS, high quality technorati traffic, etc, etc. So we built a tool that will automatically generate pings to technorati and pingomatic for all your backlinks. And it is free. (Well, it's ad-supported, but that is close enough to the same thing.)

How and Why

If you'd like an arch [...]

iMacro SEO Automation Framework

admin — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0100

In order to build an efficient SEO automation framework you must carefully seperate value added manual tasks from reptitious automatable steps. For example, writing content on Social Networking is value added, but posting it to 23 different pligg sites and bookmarking the article at 50+ sites is not.

Manual or Automation

But determining which categories it goes into on the 23 pligg sites is an appropriate manual task. So it's not like you are just going to offshore someone [...]

Choosing a Web Application Manipulation Tool

admin — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0100

The bad news is that if you choose the wrong tool you'll have a heck of a time unwinding the mistake. The good news
is that these products are different enough and the choice is pretty clear.

Real World Web Application Manipulation Tool

We said earlier that a
web
application manipulation tool is one that drives a web site based on a link back to your backend application
containing workflow and data driven information. In a real world setting this tool must have the following

iMacro Introduction and Installation

admin — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 +0100

iMacro is an amazing piece of technology and it can help you automate any of your web browser-centric tasks. They have some great examples, a good documentation wiki, and an active support/user community.

Big Savings in Time and Money

We have been big users of this technology for over a year now and have found that it can pay for itself more quickly than an other product we've used. In one recent project we replaced three months of work by 14 people in a data entry center in In [...]
