Hey guys, I'm going to be launching soon and figured I'd give a quick update/screen shot.
The original post was just a static page I saved from my own browser. Everything is running on my local stack now so there's no public front end. All my data processing is done locally, but I'll probably push to my server daily and keep a week aheads worth of domains indexed, at least to start. I'm using a free seomoz api key for now, so it's throttled. If this becomes something I really want to maintain I'll be getting an unlimited account and hammering it.
So now the form is there and everything pictured is functional. Sorting is done by a custom algorithm where you can rate factors by how important they are to you personally. The idea here is as you experiment you'll come up with an algorithm that works best for you.
You'll also know there is a full backlink/anchor text report for each domain. Don't worry, each of those tables scrolls and has 100 rows. The idea and power behind this is that you can get a pretty decent idea of the link profile, target market and legitimacy of the domain.
To answer @bradsteves, yup, and where applicable they'll be my affiliate links
That way my incentive is for this to be as powerful and free as possible.
To @nikita12, thanks, those are some good questions and they're helping me notice things that are important to some but I left out.
- I do have data for faked PR and Alexa rank, but I'm not displaying it. I definitely will though. As a side note, the weighting algorithm means unless you're relying solely on PR(set everything else to 0), fake PR domains will seldom show up.
- Same goes for auction/number of bids. I'll definitely be adding that to the view.
- For filtering by industry, keywords, anchor text and anything like that, it will be in the first update after the initial launch. I've designed the second version of the database to accommodate that but implementation isn't at the top of my todo list just yet.
- I can add SEMrush metrics in an hour or so, but I haven't got an account. For now I'll add a link, then see if I can scrape results, but I'm not buying an account for the API unless the income warrants it (or maybe not, if the value added would be important enough).
- I'm actually banned from Alexa for scraping some really nice and useful data, but I checked it out and to use the API would cost almost nothing.
Any other feedback is more than welcome!
