Custom PHP-Based Bots Available For Coding

    Do you just hate doing menial tasks on the web that take up your precious time, when you could be doing something much more worthwhile and important? Then this is the service for you. The vast majority of these tasks could just as easily be completed by an automated script, leaving you to do what you want to do, so why not have a custom bot coded for you?

    I can code bots for you to do all sorts of things, whether it be data extraction and processing, data submission, crawling, link finding, etc. - the list goes on. These bots can also be made to mimic a particular browser - whether it be IE, Firefox, Opera or whatever really - right down to the HTTP headers that are used in requests. Of course, if you still use bots for purposes that violate a sites TOS, you are on your own and assume all liability associated with use of the bot. I will still do my best to code a bot for you, provided it is not used for any illegal purposes (This means NO click fraud).

    If you are interested in using a bot, or want to know if it is possible to have a bot made for a particular task, just ask here or send me a PM so that I can send you a quote and more information about the service.

    Thanks for the responses by PM guys, it seems people want a few more examples as to what bots can do, so I've compiled a list and examples:

    Data extraction: Grab content off of another, well developed site to give yours a real head start so you can focus on promotion, not adding pre-existing content.
    Data processing: Extract the data from other sources as above, but in this instance you would only want key pieces of information, e.g. email addresses.
    Data submission: For example, posting an article across multiple article submission sites, posting a general advertising comment on a number of videos on Youtube.
    Monitoring: You can have a bot monitor your sites submissions/logs for any suspicious activity/spam. Or perhaps you may want to monitor the competition to see how they are doing.
    Repetition of an action multiple times: Have multiple sites you want Stumbled Upon? Or want to have multiple accounts give a thumbs up to the same site? A specialised bot could do this for you.

    Note that bots can also use proxies or a list of proxies to to repeat tasks, or use the Tor network for a steady supply of around 1000+ IPs that change fairly regularly. And of course that list still only touches on the incredible number of possible things you can do with bots. All it takes is your idea, and there's a good possibility I can make it your reality :)

    I hope this additional info can help people have a greater understanding of what this service can provide.

    I've just had some work done by ds316, I think it was pretty complicated work (from my side anyway) and he handled it excellently. There were a few problems and as soon as I told them he went to great lengths to sort them out. Without a doubt the best person I have worked with on these forums! He has helped me so much and I am sure I will be using him again!

    I can't praise DS enough for his fantastic work. He's been very patient with me and has explained the process to me step by step. He was also very good at deciphering my vague descriptions, a definite plus that any client can appreciate! I must say, for my first hired programmer, it was a lot less painful than people make out. In fact, it wasn't painful at all. I'd definitely recommend his services to everyone!
