Automated Software Tools: Good for us, or good for them?

0 replies
Like many people in the internet marketing business, I use a fair amount of automated tools.

However, lately I have noticed some rather odd coincidences going on with my results.

I'm not sure if it's just me, or if others have noticed the same thing.

I won't mention any brand names now, but I wanted to get some input from others.

Now, I know that the domain registers will hold a domain name, or sell your searches to a third party who will register a good name if you don't do so on the spot.

Well, lately, while using a popular niche searching tool, I've noticed that the domains I have been searching for have been becoming reregistered by a select few individuals from the country where the software is based.

Now, I don't know about you, but this doesn't seem right to me.

Obviously, the software is sending our search results, hard work and research information back to the manufacture of the software, whereby, they are then registering these names, or allowing their friends to do so.

Another piece of software I use that has to do with creating web 2.0 properties, creating link wheels etc..

Well, while I was running the software yesterday to confirm some account creation e-mails after doing some setup, up pops an account and links to a web site from the Netherlands.

I am based in the US, and have never owned a .nl domain name.

So what I assume that has happened is the creator of the program has made a back door where they are piggybacking on our work and using others who use the software to do their account creation and linking.

Not only that, but using our bandwidth and resources to do so.

It seems to me, that if we have purchased the software, we should expect that our use of these products should be for our benefit, and not for the benefit or the software creators.

Maybe it's buried somewhere in the user agreement that they can do this, or maybe not.

Seems to me that if a law hasn't been broken here, at least a certain line of ethics has been crossed.

What do you guys think?
