I am glad that you like it, I put a lot of effort while writing, as for list of bots I didn't find any, but i think it is only restrictive when using Steemit site and nothing else, as Steemit works over the blockchain there is no problem using bots in that regard.

I wrote this article a month ago and since then I had learned a lot about Steemit in a way making this article help me a lot. I think you should start searching a guide how Steem works, what voting power is, what Steem power (SP) is and Steem dollars are (SBD), there are a lot of guides you would read when you are just starting, the FAQ in right at the top of the list, it will help you grow your blog, Cheers!
