Free new url scraper for PPV - Review here

25 replies
I just finished coding a new scraper that can be used to scrape domains for cpv campaigns . It can scrape Google / MSN / Yahoo and sort returned results by alexa / quantcast rank to get a better overview of the results .
I've added also some nice features , like keyword suggestion and domain filtering and several exporting options for the urls.

Enough talking , you can see it in action here :

http://affexpert.com

Tell me what you think about it and what features you would like to be added.

Have fun

        I was hopping of getting thanks for providing a free quality tool .
        It's using an ip because I just installed it on my vps and you should wait for the ns to update to see it under a domain .

        Someone try it , you are not going to die for opening a url

    I tried it, works fine. Question, What is the purpose of a URL scraper anyway? Thanks.

      It seems to work fine. I wonder about the Alexa results. I tested it for the keyword "Christmas Gifts" and was surprised by the number which are lowly ranked in Alexa. I tested it separately for Google as well as for the three - Google, Yahoo, MSN.

      For those wondering, it isn't a download; it's a server-based tool.

      there are many different kinds of url scrapers. the purpose of most url scrapers is to make you a list of urls that you can use as "targets" in your cpv / ppv marketing campaigns. there are alexa url scrapers, search engine url scrapers, quantcast url scrapers, etc. the more sources you get your urls from the better because it will give you a more diverse list of targets to market with. hope this helped. cheers.

          I commented before on this great tool.

          Now I have a queston: What should I do if Media Traffic Agency only allows URLs of 40 characters (I think is's 40).
          Some URLs are very long.

          eg: desktoppub.about.com/od/businesscardtemplates/tp/Free_Printable_Business_Cards**.htm

          I took the www. out above and added ** so the url does not get modified by the forum sortware.

          Please help!

    @kimmer551
    a url scraper is useful when creating cpv campaigns and you need url's to bid on. Doing this manually it would take a long time , so you use a scraper.

    @vicone
    The alexa results are only for the top 1000000 websites . If a site is not in top 1000000 it just shows 999999-

    What other features would you like to see ? Post them here and if it's something useful/cool I will include it in the next update.

    If you don't know about cpv campaigns , try searching google for "inside affiliate".
    He has some really good articles about cpv.
    And sure , people are making lots of money on this

    CPV is making a lot of people big money right now, and if you are an affiliate or site owner, take notice. It stands for Cost Per View, and refers to contextually targeted pop-ups that you can buy for a few cents each.

    When you export , you have 2 options.
    Either chop it to 40 characters (select the chop option and enter 40 in the text box ) , or extract the root domain (extract root domain check box ).

    Also , you can check both of them to have more variations.

    Let me know if that works for you

    Ok guys , some new cool updates on the site.

    I have added the site analytics tool and added new features to the scraper and to the related domains finder.

    By using the site analytics tool you can have a detailed overview about a site.


    It will show it's rank accross compete , alexa and quantcast.


    You will get a detailed overview of the demographics of the site , the income , education and age of the typical user.

    The scrapper also has been updated to include these new options.


    Also now the related domains finder now can scrape data from google ad planner too ,



    so results will be far more accurate.

    Let me know what you think and what other features/tools would you like to see
