I am not sure I understand. Is this something we can create with ubot? the facebook applications, i mean.

Well, I could do that I suppose but wont that site ban my ip. As for what details I want except google page rank, they are the number of links indexed and the number of links pointing to the site. Again, I am concerned whether my ip or the ip of my clients will be banned while using this. Faraz

I am not sure if this will help because I want to get the link details about the top 10 sites in google. Is there any other site like this which could help? Faraz

oh,Boy! That means there's nothing I can do about it. I hope there's some sort of update which helps with this. Faraz

well, there is a sequake extension for internet explorer too. But, I haven't tried it yet. will try it and see if it works.

Hi, I use firefox a lot and I use the seoquake plugin to do some seo research. So, I want to build a bot, which helps me to scrape data from the seo quake plugin for the top 10 results. So, I would input a keyword or a list of keywords and it would scrape the seoquake data for the top 10 results. I have attached a screenshot to show what it looks like. The problem is that I cant see this seoquake data in the browser within ubot. So, what am I supposed to do? Faraz

Ah, Thanks. This helped me indirectly. So, now I will just ask the client to create files that are being used by the bot and to store those files in the folder, where the bot looks for the file. So, its okay now. Thanks, Faraz

Well, most probably I will be selling the bot and the problem is that I dont know, what are the different filenames in a person's hard drive. So, how can I choose only 3 filenames. Different persons can have various different filenames, and it is impossible for me to guess those names. Hope you understand.

Well, actually I meant something different. Maybe, I should have said a file. So, I want the user to be able to choose any file from his hard drive. Since the file is actually a list of links(or urls), that is why I said choosing a list. But now I think I should have said file. So, user chooses a file which contains a list of urls. and then bot chooses each item from that list to scrape data. How do I do that?

Hi, I am building a bot and I want the user to be able to choose which list should be worked upon. The steps are : User chooses list Then that list is used to create a loop where the bot navigates to each of the urls in the list and then scrapes it. I have got the scraping part correct. The part that I am not getting is how to get the user to choose the list and make the bot work with it. Faraz

Hi, I can do this for you. Let me know the details. Faraz

Wow,Its working perfectly now. Can you tell me what was wrong with the bot I created? Want to make sure this kind of things doesnt happen again. Please explain the logic of the "clear list" command. I just dont get it, how it is working if I am clearing the list. And one more thing. The results I am getting have ,'s in them. eg, 63,20,000 or 20,000 so how do I remove those ,s . but keep in mind that there will be certain results without ,s such as 260 or 2 or 790. Anyways, I have to go to be bed now. Its about 1:30 am in my part of the world. Thanks. Will read your answer when I ge

Well, no! I am not trying to increase the size of the list. there is one list which I am using to set the number of loops.i.e the keyword list. so, if the keyword list has 50 items, there should be 5 loops. and each time the loop happens the bot scrapes a page and adds the result to a list. so, when the bot stops, there should be 50 results in the scraped list. Hope this is clear now.

Well, I dont this I should be clearing the lists, because then how will the loop work the 2nd time, if the list is cleared. and how will I save the competition list, if I clear it each time. I moved the sub google results scrape out of the loop and when I check the competition txt file, it is just showing the list result where the bot came to a stop, although it stopped when the list ended. so that part is working now.

Where exactly do I put the set list position command. should I put it outside the loop or inside it. I had put it inside the loop just below where I choose the number of loops command.
