I have been learning python
and have been learning through reading books
and following online tutorials and know most of the basics by now,
but i am not sure how to proceed from here.

I want to build stuff like keyword rank tracker,
article spinner, page rank checker, etc.
but I dont even know what I need to know
to start building these scripts.

So, could any of you guys guide me
how to proceed to build one of these?

    For the keyword rank, you WILL need something like a database(SQL), and get the keywords off the CGI query string. (HTTP/HTML) The same is pretty much true for the others. The EXACT method is up to you.

    Okay, so you mean I have to learn about
    SQL databases and CGI before I can do things like that?

      SQL to store all te items you pull off the queries, and CGI to pull them off.

    hello, I have started learning python as well, but I am just a begginer, working on powershell commands, I want advice as well. I have started python just to get a good knowledge of desktop programming and my aim is to be a good web programmer. Any suggession would be appreciated.

    Regards

    If you intend to work on web applications I'd suggest you pick up a python web framework preferably django and do some little practice on it, django is particularly good because it will alleviate the need for learning a lot of database stuff, since it abstracts all this.
