From 3D-Scape Limited, the leaders in 3D mindmappingTopicCrunch Pro is a tool for a special type of web searching: TopicCrunch Pro is a web searching tool to greatly amplify your ability to use the search engines Google, Yahoo! and MSN and produce results with the least effort. TopicCrunch Pro is TopicCrunch's big brother. It's for professionals in SEO who need to routinely check the position in the SERPs of many domains (their own and their competitors') against many keywords on the three main search engines, and track minor variations in keywords as well. If you know what SEO and SERPs are, Topicscape Pro is for you. If not, TopicCrunch is probably what you need for deep searching without the mass unattended-search facilities of Pro unless, perhaps, you are just learning about Search Engine Optimization for the first time. TopicCrunch Pro can give you a de-duplicated page of results, with live links to competitor sites in SERP order, summaries of where your (or competitor) sites are in each search engine, or an even more summarized 'best position' snapshot. - It does multiple searches on the three major search engines (Google, Yahoo and MSN);
- it lists the unique domains only of the hits (in one of three possible sequences) after eliminating all duplicate entries;
- it provides an easy to use "OR" facility that lets you search on up to four variations of your search phrase or keyword to allow for plurals and common mis-spellings; This allows you to go deeper and produce better results than using the search engines' own 'OR' operator.
- it can tell you the rank of a specified domain for the given phrases on these three search engines. Rank, in this context, means the highest position achieved by the domain when any of the four phrases is typed in by someone using the search engines. (It does not mean Google Page Rank). Use this to track your own site - and track your competitors.
- With just one run, you can see how all your domains are doing in the SERPS, against many keywords.
Now, and with very little effort, you can see how effective your Search Engine Optimization efforts are every day, once a week, or every month, as you wish.
So what's it for? It lets you dig deep without having to manually submit many search requests and wade through pages of results. It focuses only on domains. For example? First a market research example. Let's say you were interested in digging deep to know who was in the business of selling golf drivers, or which are the web sites showing cooking recipes, or even how your own web site is doing in the search engines under your chosen keywords, TopicCrunch Pro can work quietly in the background and tell you. At one time, Google had 467,000 entries under "golf drivers" (quotes included), Yahoo had 331,000 and MSN had 75,108. Of course there are thousands of duplicates (entries on the same sites) there. Similar checks for "cooking recipes" yield 4,620,000 hits on Google, 5,880,000 on Yahoo and 419,418 on MSN. Not many people go past the second page of a web search, but as the search engines operate today, you can't get to see anything after the 1,000th hit, no matter how long you're prepared to sit and research. Even with 100 hits per page requested you can only click through to the 10th item on the list of numbers at the foot of a Google page - and there's no "Next" link on that page. MSN, even though it shows higher numbers at the foot of the results page, won't take you past 500 hits unless you use special techniques. TopicCrunch Pro does this, to dig results down to the 1,000th hit.
