We’ve been working on a similar tool. The difficulty these tools have is that to be useful you have to crawl the entire site looking for things, and a spider that can run quickly is not a trivial task. Even the googlebot stops after a certain depth. Their url suggestion tool seems to just look at the links 1 level deep from the main page you submit, which for most ecommerce stores won’t work. I tried it with a Yahoo store that’s in our beta program and it crashed. But it’s still a very good tool. BTW, we haven’t solved this problem yet either except for the case where you can look at a sitemap and get all the pages efficiently.The other thing that concerns me about many of these tools are qualms about using a service without a TOS, a privacy policy, or any clear monetization strategy. What’s going to happen when 50K people show up and start using the tool? Without a revenue stream, I suspect it’s just going to go away. It might be better to keep that kind of stuff a secret! :}
Hi LtDraper, Let me answer a few of your concerns.While the tool doesn’t suggest you URLs that are not in the first level, it does allow you to add any URL you wish from any level of your site manually.I agree on the remark regarding the TOS and privacy policy that are missing. I’ll work to change that.regarding the last sentence - this service is not going to go anywhere. So please - don’t keep it a secret(;
I usually shy away from writing reviews. But the time savings the tool gave me made me feel obligated to share it with the rest of the community as a way to say thank you.
The problem I have with every rank checking tool is that the position where you rank is not only affected how you or your competition is doing but it depends on which datacenter you are checking the rankings and if google is not playing with the results. I would love to see some tool which would show you rankings broken down by datacenter and also some corelation between other keywords/sites to spot the factor of changing Google algorithm.This tool produces nice data but I can’t find how it differs from other rank checking tools offered by SEOMOz, serparchive.org etc.
@forcer: check out a program called advanced web ranking. It’s not free, but it’s cheap and it let’s you check ranking across known Google datacenters.
Advanced Web Ranking is an awesome piece of software. I definitely recommend checking it out. At my old company we had an in-house developed program that did a ton of rank tracking and reporting stuff and when I left, I looked hard to find something that could do many of the same things and AWR was the best I could find.
