Ghost Control Macro Recorder



http://www.ghost-control.com/download.html

Ghost Control is a very cool macro recorder...

Good: Simple, very easy to use, especially as far as macro recorders go.

Bad: Very simple. Not a lot of features.


It has a free trial that lets you record 30 jobs, then $35, and worth it.

Ghost Control also has a "job editor" where you can delete stuff or speed up the entire macro.

It also lets you save your macros as exe files, so you can easily use them over and over.

Ghost Control is simple and it records your mouse positions, movements, clicks, etc., unlike something like Ubot which will read the code.

This means that your .exe's may or may not work on another PC and may even fail on your PC if you change something like the position of a browser window.

But because it's so easy to use, any time you find yourself even THINKING something may be repetitive, just start recording and if you have to do it again, just run your macro.

It's also perfect to use with my Firefox and the "Open Selected Links" plugin technique I posted above.

Here's an example:

I have Scrapebox and a ton of footprints that we can use to find places to create "Angela's link" packets by the ton.

I'll post lists of these links here. Use Open Selection Links to open 10-15 of these links in different FF browser windows.

Since the links will all share a similar footprint, the combo of Auto-Fill Forms, RoboForm (if you have it) in addition to Ghost Control is a very powerful collection.

I really suggest Ghost Control for anyone looking for a simple but effective way to automate basic repetitive tasks.
