You definitely share us a good approach on using bid-bots in steemit. Using bid-bots seem to be very advantageous especially for newbies. I think they provide a great service to minnows and new users by allowing us to get our posts out there and seen by more people and build our following along with reputation. But everyone should use bots very effectively and wisely. One shouldn't use it to promote bad content. They should strictly track the bidding status in the link as you have said and we can be profitable by using upvote bot.

If you give me an upvote, I can slowly increase my steem power to 100. I actually love to reward new accounts trying out the platform writing quality contents for the community. Great things always takes time.
