Screaming Frog SEO Spider Tool & Crawler Software
About The Tool The Screaming Frog SEO Spider is a fast and advanced SEO site audit tool. It can be used to crawl both small and large websites, where manually checking every page would be extremely labour intensive, and where you can easily miss a redirect, missing page title, or duplicate page issue. You can view, analyse and filter the crawl data as it’s gathered and updated in real-time in the apps UI. The SEO Spider allows you to export key onsite SEO elements (URL, page title, meta description, headings etc) to a spread sheet, so it can easily be used as a base for SEO recommendations. Crawl 500 URLs For Free The ‘lite’ version of the tool is free to download and use. For just £199 per year you can purchase a licence, which removes the 500 URL crawl limit, allows you to save crawls, and opens up the spider’s configuration options and advanced features. Alternatively hit the ‘buy a licence’ button in the SEO Spider to buy a licence after downloading and trialing the software. Updates

» The Politics of Search: it’s just beginning… - John Andrews - johnon.com
When a blog gets “popular”, the blogger is faced with a quandary. Continue to do what has made the blog popular, or recognize that there is now audience expectation, and accommodate it? The audience is people, and people live by politics. If you don’t accommodate the people, you can find yourself on the wrong side of a pitchfork (or tied to a stake). If you do go “politically correct”, won’t the critics sway that mob against you eventually? People is politics. Search is no exception. Of course what Google was really doing was playing politics. But one emerging area that might test the waters of this new political Google is domaining. As a search consultant, I work with companies to help them earn more search referrals (targeted traffic) from Google. In Miami I was lucky to meet Jay Chapman of Digimedia. From a domainer perspective, DiamondsDirect.com is a rich parked page. Politically, where is the line that separates worthy vs. unworthy sites? How will domainers use their leverage?

Kevin Ham, the $300 million master of Web domains - June 1, 2007
(Business 2.0 Magazine) -- Kevin Ham leans forward, sits up tall, closes his eyes, and begins to type -- into the air. He's seated along the rear wall of a packed ballroom in Las Vegas's Venetian Hotel. Up front, an auctioneer is running through a list of Internet domain names, building excitement the same way he might if vintage cars were on the block. As names come up that interest Ham, he occasionally air-types. When Ham wants a domain, he leans over and quietly instructs an associate to bid on his behalf. Ham is a devout Christian, and he spends $31,000 to add Christianrock.com to his collection, which already includes God.com and Satan.com. Just a few years ago, most of the guys bidding in this room had never laid eyes on one another. And why not? But the big money is in the aftermarket, where the most valuable names -- those that draw thousands of pageviews and throw off steady cash from Google's and Yahoo's pay-per-click ads -- are driving prices to dizzying heights.

Playing the Angles: How to make easy money on the Web - April 1, 2007
(Business 2.0 Magazine) -- When word of a whites-only scholarship at Boston University hit the media last fall--drawing coverage from bloggers and biggies like ABC alike--Daniel Kovach smelled opportunity. His goal: to boost traffic to the website he runs, Scholarships Around the US. So he paid a writer to crank out "The White Man's Guide to Getting a Minority Scholarship," which reveals that some schools do offer scholarships to "nonblack" students--and added it to the mix. Then Kovach planted a link to the article on recommendation site Digg, where it jumped to the coveted front page. That, in turn, led other sites to link to the article. Such timely strategies have helped Kovach turn his year-old site into a $10,000-per-month cash cow (see correction below). Media outlets have, of course, always exploited offbeat events and stories to drive traffic. But others, like Kovach, are making bigger money by tapping the cultural zeitgeist to draw more people to an existing site.

Your privacy is extremely important to us, and Firefox never shares your location without your permission. When you visit a page that requests your information, you’ll be asked before any information is shared with the requesting website and our third-party service provider. By default, Firefox uses Google Location Services to determine your location by sending: your computer’s IP address, information about the nearby wireless access points, and a random client identifier, which is assigned by Google, that expires every 2 weeks. For a complete description of information collected and used by Firefox, please see the Firefox Privacy Policy. Google Location Services then returns your estimated geolocation (e.g., latitude and longitude). The information is exchanged over an encrypted connection to protect your privacy.
