Scripts to help automate arbi

[Jon12345]

How about creating a list of usual tools and scripts that can help automate some of the arbi process?

For example, I have a simple program where I can enter in a list of keywords and it will merge them into a html template and create the landing pages. There is a synonym merger so the keywords fill the place holder in the template itself, to help queue up adsense ads.

Any other suggestions? What about something that can tied up the 7Search stats with your adsense stats to see a ROI, all in spreadsheet format? How?

Thanks,

Jon

A few of what I consider essential:

cat - for building the webpage
pscrape - for scraping content / urls
wget - getting content / pictures
imagemagick - for resizing / cropping / positioning / composing / adding shadows / etc to images

All are commandline tools and infinitely scriptable.

I'm relearning Visual Basic so I can build a customized research tool since the research (I find) takes me the longest. Building pages is simple once you have a template, but the research to find those sweet niches takes the most time.

So BNWFinance, you want to create a VB tool that somehow crunches the numbers to find a tool that will help give a niche rating? e.g. check the search volume, ppc spread and potential payback. Then create an algo to rate them by priority? Is that VB.net or Visual Basic 6?

I'm still looking into it, but VB6. I'm thinking I want to do something with Excel using VB6, so there can be tracking and charts...Just because I'm a business/finance grad and that's what appeals to me. Ideally what I want is a program that takes a main keyword as input and:

1. Finds X variations of keywords containing the keyword that are the highest search volume AND with CPC bids greater than $Y.

2. Computes the competition index (i.e. R/S ratio, KEI, etc)

3. Will "plug in" the selected keywords to an existing template to generate a 5-page site for upload. This will also use YACG or RSSGM to scrape content.

4. Aside from popping up Overture or 7Search or AdWords captchas or logins, it should be automated - just typing in the main keyword and desired minimum CPC and go.

Did I miss anything?

bnw- will this program use your Keyword elite program for the data?

also- why would you be making a 5page site for arb?

Some I made myself:
save the html source of a searched keyword at 7search tool and upload here and it will exctract all keywords -

Do the same with an overture search or just type in the keyword here

I got a question about my 7search tool so I paste the answer here too:

It's something about when you save the html file from 7search in firefox I think, maybe other browsers too. It happens to me too. When you choose to save the file, or view source and then save. What it does is not that it saves from the page that you already have downloaded on your computer, instead it downloads it again, without all search results, and saves that.

So what you should do is just view source and copy paste it into a new text document. And then you upload that.

Hey juicify great scripts. I was looking for something that extracted the 7search keywords. Thanks a lot for sharing.

The biggest problem I got is captchas. I could easily automate whole process if I could just find a way to reliably bypass captchas.

For me curl is the way to go. With PHP & curl & mysql you get one big advantage; it works almost everywhere. If you get your server's ip banned from services like it sometimes happens with automated software, you can just change the server to the next cheap one.

Just display the captcha to the user and have them type in the answer. It slows the automation slightly, but it works.

Mainly because of Googles' new landing page policy that affects both AdWords and AdSense. When I build a template that makes a whole web site rather than just an Arbi landing page, the AdSense displayed is better quality and higher revenue.

Ya, you could do a porn site where visitor has to write captcha to view the full image and that captcha is of course the captcha you need to input to do certain task like create blogger account, but that's highly inpractical in many cases. Also it's not very automated if you need to monitor the script and type captchas every once in a while
