Abstract

Device implemented method interacts with a plurality of web sites using a predetermined key word to create a subset of the plurality of web sites. Which of the subset of the plurality of web sites allow placement of comments on a respective one of the subset of the plurality of web sites is determined creating a list of a plurality of commentable web sites containing the predetermined key word and which allow placement of comments. The list of the plurality of commentable web sites is supplied to a user. A plurality of steps, different for each commentable web site, to post the comments on each of the plurality of commentable web sites is determined and stored. The plurality of steps to post the comments on each of the plurality of commentable web sites is subsequently repeated, separately for each of the plurality of commentable web sites.
