TechSEO360

It's becoming more apparent with each passing day that web harvesting, web data extraction, or more commonly known web scraping, is quite important when it comes to improving one's online business.

Usually associated with a fairly automated process implemented using a bot and a web crawler, incorporating intelligent web scraping techniques usually requires very competent, specialized apps.

One such application is TechSEO360, and we'll say it right off the bat, it's a potent and incredibly configurable tool, hence, even though we have found it to be very well designed in terms of ergonomics, there's no getting around the fact that you will need a bit of getting used to, regardless of your experience level.

A simple glance over its main window and the plethora of menus, tabs, and features on display should be enough to convince you that this app is designed to handle both large websites and meet the needs of even the most fastidious webmasters.

Getting past the app's typical menubar and top toolbar, you'll discover that most of what this app has to offer can be accessed from the multitude of tabs underneath the aforementioned elements.

Start off by entering the website's domain address within the Scan website tab, in the Paths sections. Thoroughly customize the scanning procedure (crawler options, crawler engine, webmaster filters, analysis filters, output filters, and data collection) by making your way along the few other tabs and click the "Start Scan" button to fire the app up.

You can analyze website data like the links structure, and benefit from an incredibly detailed on-page keyword analysis and even optimize the page title, the description lengths, as well as the keywords associated with each page. You're also able to create visual HTML/CSS, XML, image, video, and news sitemaps, as well as detect any duplicate content like title, header, and descriptions.

Finding and helping you fix broken links and redirects is also something that this application is more than qualified for. The utility also provides you with the option to search for text or even code in all the crawled pages.

The fact that it obeys robots.txt, canonical, noidex, nofollow and hreflang by default is also something that might be worthy of your attention. Of course, advanced users can also go for manual configurations. Last but not least, you can import data from Google Webmaster Tools and Apache Logs.

Taking everything into account, it's safe to say that TechSEO360 has all basis covered. For such a powerful and configurable tool, it's relatively easy-to-use. Another advantage is the fact that the app provides a handy set of online tutorials and that it also displays various useful Get Started guides for first-time users.
