Bid Monitoring Script

I want a script that will automatically log into trafficvance.com and increase my bid on keywords if they are not ranked #1. This script is for display creatives (popup traffic).

The features of the required script are:

1. auto login to trafficvance.com
2. Auto syncs with active campaigns
3. Allows for rank desire
4. Allows for max bid placement
5. Auto spider of active targets
6. Timed intervals between spidering and setting creatives
7. Allows for purging of targets (multiple accounts)
8. Logs activity
9. Mass desired max.bid or desired ranking update

The basic flow would be:
1. log into trafficvance.com

2. navigate into “Target Optimization Tool” section and load campaign and set it to show 1500 targets per page.
here is an image of what the interface looks like

3. reset all keywords to .01 in case i am overbidding and “Update All Bids”

4. set each keyword to .001 cents higher then the highest bid or maxbid(see below) and “Update All Bids”

5. For duplicate campaigns, where I am bidding on multiple identical keywords, I should also be able to appy a desired ranking to each keyword.
eg. desired ranking=2

I believe this all can be done via CURL. I want to run this via a cron script so it will check and update every x amount of minutes.

Please provide a basic interface, which I can access, listing the

* trafficvance login/password(hidden)

* time interval between adjustments

* campaign name, creative, target, desired rank, current rank, maximum bid, highest bid.

The time interval between adjustments, maximum bid and desired rank per keyword target should be adjustable within the interface.

I should be able to mass bid update multiple targets at the same time or mass rank update multiple targets at the same time, within the interface. These desired max.bids and desired ranking should be able to be saved in memory for the next time I run the script.

I am able to supply picture examples of a similar interface so that you can see what I am talking about, and provide much more detailed graphical information as is required (after the winner has been selected).

As this script is changing bid prices it needs to have proper error checking and recovery measures.
