The application Steembottracker was created by one of the Steem witnesses . It is a webpage where you will find over 50 Bid Bots and other upvote sellers, who sell upvotes for your posts. The web page is very informative as it lists the price range for votes, the currency for a particular Bot; Steem or SBD, the Reputation level of the Bot and other Bot characteristics like the age limit for the post, Bot comments or no comment left on your post and any special rules like returning incorrect Bid Amounts and other important details.
The webpage features a slider at the top which allows you to choose between Bots with a maximum payout of $2.00 and those with maximum payouts of $200.00. The webpage tells you how many votes and how much those votes total for the current round. It tells you how much time is left in the round. It also tells you the estimated return on your Bid once you place it, which is based on the amount of votes and the amount of the Bots total vote. This page gives you invaluable information if you plan on using Bots.
Below the initial listing of about 50 Bots is a listing of other vote sellers, which usually act like Bots, but for reasons unclear to me, they are not listed on the top of the page.
Below that are a few services which offer vote selling in different ways from the ones on the upper two sections, usually via a separate webpage and lists some delegation opportunities to a Bid Bot called Smartsteem.
It is very important that if you plan to use Bid Bots to boost the earnings on your posts that you study this page as it will be immensely important to your success to understand the information on the page. I feel it will be the difference between success and failure with regard to earning decent profit on your Steem.
I don’t write this information to encourage you to use Bid Bots, and quite frankly I am aware that many people don’t make money on the Bots, instead they lose money. But I think if you understand the Bots and educate yourself with this information you have the best chance of success. The most important thing to me, is that you have the choice to use these services or not to use these services. But you can only make choices by knowing about your options. Knowledge is Power.
Steem On!
