Ultimate Demon vs. SenukeX vs. Others ?

To be honest Matt I am two steps from moving on from MS. This will probably be my final month. MS has a strong bias to signing up for sites and dropping links rather than automating anything in the browser so though I was able to get some sites over I can concur with your issues. I am hearing good things about UD which I know you use. Since I don't do a whole lot of mass submissions I am finding less and less use for MS.

Why the change in heart?

There was a thread here recently that pretty much put me off from continuing to recommend MS. In the past MS has evolved within a few months of SenukeX but this time the developer has indicated he's not going to integrate any other spinner into his product as almost EVERY automation software is doing and he seems reluctant to add real automation features like variables etc. when they are recommended. SEO is becoming more sophisticated and we need better tools to do what we want not what the developer tells us is good seo.

We need tools that allow for intelligence and strategy rather than rotating sites, spinning content and dropping links everywhere it goes without any controls or "if then" kind of logic.

Anyway In short MAgic submitter with those decisions is becoming outdated (unless they wow me with a major upgrade). I still would recommend it over SenukeX because that piece of software is just over rated and over priced for what it does but its getting to the point where macro tools are better for what I do than Internet marketing tools like MS and their one size fits all SEO approach.

Right now the two automation tools I use the most are Winautomation and zennoposter. I probably won't be using anything but winautomation come middle of 2013 when they come out with their second browser automation version (they are just light years ahead of ZPs training and professional customer service. Pleasure at every turn to deal with) . That and SEO Spyglass and Scrapebox are all I really touch nowadays in my toolbox. Mind you winautomation is not geared towards Internet marketers. I doubt it will have things like mutithreading but seriously unless you are doing alot of blasting thats not an issue.

It does however just flat out easily allows you to record your sites, select from from any file you want (without having to copy an paste into window forms) and can even be taught to automate Scrapebox . SEO spyglass and whatever else you want in concert because it automates any and everything on your desktop/Vps or VMware

I'll probably kiss all software subscription good bye because as a model it seems to make the developers self satisfied. Almost all the software pushing the envelope nowadays has a one time fee component.
