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

SEO Book.com ~ SEO Training Made Easy ShowIP » 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?

AdWords: Keyword Tool With Keyword Planner, we've combined the functionality of Keyword Tool and Traffic Estimator to make it easier to plan search campaigns. That's why Keyword Tool is no longer available. You can use Keyword Planner to find new keyword and ad group ideas, get performance estimates for them to find the bid and budget that are right for you, and then add them to your campaigns. Note To access Keyword Planner, sign in to your AdWords account at We've also added several new features with Keyword Planner. No match type data for search volume With Keyword Tool, we showed you broad match statistics by default with the ability to get data for other match types, like phrase and exact match. For example, let's say your keyword is dark chocolate. No device targeting Keyword Planner doesn’t let you specifically target mobile devices, like tablets and mobile phones.

Multi Links 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.
