How I can find niche websites built with Wordpress?

[auuuu]

Hi guys and girls, I'm trying to figuring out how to scrape niche websites built with WP.

For example I would like to find all the websites built with WP about "cats" or "dogs"

I'm pretty sure that there is a query that I can use on googe but I cannot figure out what could be the WP fingerprint or the fingerprints, as not all the websites has the "powered by" on the footer!

You can find cats and dogs sites with the help of a scraper but to check them for wordpress ... I think you can separately parse them with custom built software or check each of them manually

In scraping you should always using many kind of footprints to reach your goal; counting in it - combing already used. You can scrape, for example:

dogs articles "powered by wordpress"
dogs articles "WordPress.org"
etc.

and combining with particular WP themes, for example

dogs articles "Powered by Astra"
dogs "OceanWP"

also combining it with domains TLD's will give you another results, for example

site:.us dogs articles "Powered by Astra" - will give you another results, than previous mentioned - dogs articles "Powered by Astra"

This way you made foots, then scrape, removing duplicates and you have lists with thousands or more spots from your niche.

You also need to remember, that queries in footprins sometimes look similar, but have quite different meanings in SERP language, like using " " for KW's in queries.

Check it, test it, go for it.


One more thing - you will never find "all the websites" - there are just too many of them.

Simple, Install the chrome extension "chrome sniffer" and search for keywords related to your niche. Chrome sniffer tells the technology being used on websites. As you navigate to different websites, the icon will change to reflect the software being used.

I think the easiest way for you to automatically detect if a website is using wordpress is to look for custom paths.

For example, you can try to access /wp-admin on each domain to see if it redirect to the wordpress login page. But some webmasters might hide this link.

So, the next easy way to check is to look at the path of images, most worpdress images are stored in the /wp-content/uploads/ folder. And you will find this in the path of any image.

Try scraping for them using a scraper. SB does a fairly good job in the process. Other than detecting "powered by" footprints, you can also search for foootprints found on the contact form or comment area - try looking for words similarly used in that section, and that will allow the tool to detect these WP Sites.

It doesn't make sense in your case, why you only want wordpress powered target website? You can scrape any websites within that niche, no matter what technologies they use, but if you are going to do some "sneaky" things, then good luck.

you can find website if they made with Wordpress.
1. site.com/wp-admin
2.just copy website URL and go to google and type " wpthemedetector " if they made their website with wordpress you will get the theme info. else you will get error

Try

"/wp-content/uploads" + "dog"

 

[KJREDDY247@]

Try

"/wp-content/uploads" + "dog"

"/wp-content/uploads" + "dog"

Some great answers guys. Is there a way to find WP blogs by KW, then filter them by open or closed comments?
