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.

supplying said list of said plurality of commentable web sites to a user

determining a plurality of steps, different for each of said plurality of commentable web sites, to post said comments on each of said plurality of commentable web sites, respectively;

storing in digital memory said plurality of steps to post said comments on each of said plurality of commentable web sites; and

subsequently repeating, separately for each of said plurality of commentable web sites, said plurality of steps to post said comments on each of said plurality of commentable web sites.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said determining step comprises searching said subset of said plurality of web sites for specific input elements which allow for said placement of comments.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein said determining step comprises searching said subset of said plurality of web sites for code tags indicative of allowance for said placement of comments.

4. The method of claim 2 wherein said determining step comprises searching said subset of said plurality of web sites for identifiers of internet forum software packages.

5. The method of claim 2 wherein said determining step comprises searching said subset of said plurality of web sites for the string “

comment”

.

6. The method of claim 2 wherein said determining step comprises searching said subset of said plurality of web sites for a leaf element that contains at least a predetermined number of words, contains the string “

comment”

, and does not contain the string “

site comment”

.

7. The method of claim 2 wherein said determining step comprises searching said subset of said plurality of web sites for a lowercase type attribute which is at least one of “

button” and

“

submit”

, a lowercase value attribute contains the string “

comment” and

said lowercase value attribute does not contain the string “

site comment”

.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein said determining step comprises determining, separately for each of said plurality of commentable web sites, whether cookies are utilized to post said comments of each of said plurality of commentable web site.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein said storing in digital memory step comprises storing, separately for each of said plurality of commentable web sites, respective cookies unique for each of said plurality of commentable web sites that are utilized by each of said plurality of commentable web sites to post comments on each respective one of said plurality of commentable web sites.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein said determining step comprises utilizing, separately for each of said plurality of commentable web sites, POST and GET commands to determine said plurality of steps, different for each of said commentable web sites, to post said comments on each of said commentable web sites, respectively.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein said storing in digital memory step comprises providing a step by step recording process to a user to implement the specific web forms used to accomplish said plurality of steps to post said comments on each of said plurality of commentable web sites.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein said subsequently repeating step comprises rendering said specific web forms in sequence to accomplish said plurality of steps to post said comments on each of said plurality of commentable web sites.

13. The method of claim 11 wherein said storing in digital memory step further comprises allowing said user to mark said specific web forms for later user input.

14. The method of claim 13 wherein said subsequently repeating step further comprises highlighting a specific portion of said specific web forms marked by said user for user input to accomplish said plurality of steps to post said comments on each of said plurality of commentable web sites.

15. The method of claim 11 wherein said step of the subsequently repeating step comprises posting different content of each of said plurality of commentable web sites.

16. The method of claim 11 further comprising the step of modifying said comments of one of said plurality of web sites for use in posting on another of said plurality of commentable web sites.

17. The method of claim 1 further comprising automatically modifying at least one of said subset of said plurality of web sites to increase a search ranking of said at least one of said subset of said plurality of web sites.

18. A non-transitive machine readable storage medium storing executable program instructions which when executed cause a data processing system to perform a method comprising the steps of:

finding a plurality of web sites using a predetermined key word to create a subset of said plurality of web sites containing said predetermined key word;

determining which of said subset of said plurality of web sites allow placement of comments on a respective one of said subset of said plurality of web sites creating a list of a plurality of commentable web sites containing said predetermined key word and which allow placement of comments;

supplying said list of said plurality of commentable web sites to a user;

determining a plurality of steps, different for each of said plurality of commentable web sites, to post said comments on each of said plurality of commentable web sites, respectively;

storing in digital memory said plurality of steps to post said comments on each of said plurality of commentable web sites; and

subsequently repeating, separately for each of said plurality of commentable web sites, said plurality of steps to post said comments on each of said plurality of commentable web sites.

19. The non-transitive machine readable storage medium of claim 18 wherein said determining step comprises searching said subset of said plurality of web sites for specific input elements which allow for said placement of comments.

20. The non-transitive machine readable storage medium of claim 19 wherein said determining step comprises searching said subset of said plurality of web sites for code tags indicative of allowance for said placement of comments.

21. The non-transitive machine readable storage medium of claim 19 wherein said determining step comprises searching said subset of said plurality of web sites for identifiers of internet forum software packages.
