How do I build a Web crawler aka Web scraper for data mining? I am a beginner (newb) and need to know all the steps to do this. My goal is to mine 100 sites for information on a daily basis. Do I need a server? Can I do it from my home computer? Years ago I took a PERL course...but should I use Python? Please point me to a resource besides GOOGLE which I have spent hours researching. The answers I have found so far are over my head. I even got the book Spidering Hacks by O'Reilly. I need the basics of where to start. THANKS!
Looking for more information about unwanted web crawler robots. I have disallowed many of them? Looking for more information about unwanted web crawler robots. I have disallowed many of the ones that I have suspicions about. Before publishing any new websites, I create a robots.text file and upload it to the server. The standard that I use to disallow all robot access to selected files is: User-agent: *Disallow: /private Disallow: /cgi-bin Disallow: /stats. There are many "bad robots" which serve no useful purpose, including many "data scrapers”, “email harvesters” and other malicious activities. I understand that most ‘bad bots” do not obey the Robots Exclusion Standard but a surprising number do. Comments please. I have disallowed a large amount of "bad robots" any access using this example: User-agent: BotRightHere Disallow: / . I have identified a number of what I would consider "bad robots” and would like to know if anyone has researched this subject, as I would like to compare my “bad bot” list with other ones.

Does anyone know of a web crawler to help you get certain pages to come up first on Google? My understanding of how the results that show up on the first page of a Google search is: The more people that visit a certain link or webpage, the higher up the page becomes in the search listings on Google. So does anyone know of a program or website where you can enter certain web addresses and then that program will access (or ping) the page every couple of minutes for like 24 hours, and under a different IP address (proxy) every time? I'm curious to see if this would work. The reason I ask is I want to move certain pages associated with my name up to the first page or two of results that are stuck on pages 4 and 5.

php web rss crawler? I was wondering if anyone knew of some code that i could use to crawl a website looking for rss feeds, kind of like how firefox detects rss feeds in a webpage. i want to replicate what firefox does on my website. And firefox uses the head tag but i also believe it searches for .xml links and sees if their rss. there isn't a website that i've seen that does this, thats part of the reason i'm trying to create one. I'd be happy with just looking in the head tag for one, but i don't even know how to go about crawling pages in php. My idea is to have the user enter the website of a site they are looking for rss feeds on, say discovery.com. Then i crawl 3 levels or so looking for rss feeds then provide a list for them, so they can add them to their custom home page at my website. (my site is an online rss reader) http://www.globalnewsnow.info thanks for the response do you know of any good and easy to use ones?.. i'm really lost on this, never used php to do this sort of thing. What is the easiest way to search the reponse for the rss tag? Thanks for sticken with me on this

Searching the web for content the easy way...does this exist? I know I'm a caveman, but I'm just now getting into the world of RSS...I'm using Snarfer, but what I really want to do is find a program where I can plug in certain search terms and find articles related to those terms, not just pull down any article from a particular site. I thought maybe a web crawler was what I needed, but that doesn't sound right either. Sometimes, it's all about using the right terminology. Essentially, I want to create automated recurring searches using particular keywords. Does that exist, what's it called, and where do I go to find the tool to do it? Let me try this again. I would like to find an aggregator where instead of tying my search to a website, I want to do it using search terms and pull down the link. Most aggregators pull the link and you have to sift through them to see if you find anything interesting. I am doing research and don't feel like manually typing in various terms every single day, for at least an hour a day. I have a life.
How do I go about downloading web pages within a search on a website? I want to download all web pages with matching results to my search within a specific website. This search will yield about 3000 results and I want to download everything on each of those pages in order to look at them later in the same state they are in at the time of the search. The site does require a user name and password. I'm assuming I need some sort of crawler but I have no experience in this. Please help!
