Thanks for that, getivan.
I checked out the GSA Website Contact, and it does look more robust and perhaps even easier to use. But unfortunately, I'm on a Mac and it's not compatible. Appreciate the input though.
Yes sir, I am. Thought my version was outdated or the had been updated since the date of the video. Then, I figured it might be the Win/Mac difference. Guess I know for certain now.
I worked out an alternative mutl-step method as a workaround for now. Not the ideal case, but gotta do what I...
Did more testing. Can't seem to remove unless the lists are trimmed to the root unlike the feature shown in the video where it can eliminate duplicate entries by domain. Not having this function makes things a lot more complicated. Wondering if I'm missing it somewhere.
Think I figured it out. Guess the layout was changed in the updates since the video.
I clicked on the Remove/filter button and selected "Remove urls containing entries from..."
I think that's the right one. Did some test runs and seems to be working like how you show in the video.
Please let me...
This was exactly what I was going to ask you next!
But when I try it on my SB, I don't see the option you show in the video. Please see screenshot.
On a slightly different note, is there a reason you say to trim to root instead of to domain level? In my list there are quite a few http domains...
Sorry, not understanding what you mean by trim them to root and run them.
Do you mean after I run the Link Extractor? Trim them to root and run them again? Or did you mean what I did was right?
Scrape list of domains, trim to root, then run Link Extractor for "contact" in the URL?
Here's what I'm trying.
1. I pasted the list of domains in the Harvest section (top right box) in the main window.
2. Clicked on Link Extractor.
3. Settings and on the right side entered "contact" to remove anything that didn't have "contact" in the URL.
4. Running it now. Will check the folder...
Ah. Perfect. Got it.
Thanks.
Then from here, would I just remove all URLs not containing "contact"? Or would that risk removing actually good pages (e.g., contact pages that had something like "get-in-touch" in the URL)?
Is there a way to comb through this now uploaded list using the contact...
I tried running the Link Extractor. And the plan was to search for or filter URLs that didn't have the word "contact".
But as dumb as it sounds, I don't know what to do with the Excel file I saved after running the Link Extractor. It shows how many internal pages it found for each domain, but I...
By the way, I get what you're saying. Had to re-read your answer multiple times and go back and forth with the Google and SB, but I think I finally am getting it through my head.
Lol.
Took long enough.
Thanks.
Just gave this a try and getting some strange results.
If I run "web design CITY" I seem to get the same results as I do in the browser. I usually stop it after 99 to make sure I don't get my IP banned, but assume it will keep going and scrape more.
When I run "web design CITY" with the...
Thanks for the reply.
Great to know that what I'm looking for is already in Scrapebox. I'll have to do some work to unpack the steps though as I really have no idea where to click the platforms (and have vague ideas of what platforms are to begin with sadly), and what to do when I get results...
I am a complete newbie with SB and find it very confusing so my apologies if I'm asking something very dumb.
But in Google, I can do a search for something like:
san jose dentist "contact"
This will, for the most part, bring up contact pages of the various dentist sites. Can something like...
