Yesterday (Jan. 11th ‘07) Yahoo changed the format of their search engine results page (SERP), so TopicCrunch was reporting “nf” (not found) for all Yahoo searches. This has now been adjusted and there’s a new version of TopicCrunch on-line for download. All users can just install that on top of their existing copy and the license will be picked up automatically. If you uninstall TopicCrunch first, you may have to get your license from the original email and install it again. 30-day free trial users can install it too, but sorry, it won’t extend the trial period.
TopicCrunch is a very useful tool for anyone who wants to do really deep web searches without having to spend hours wading through pages of results.
In addition, it is a web searching tool that’s useful for both marketers and SEO practitioners. For a given set of search phrases or keywords…
- It can give you a list of domains of companies in your area of business.
- It allows you to see the position of your own website on the three principal search engines.
- It also lets you keep a watch on your competitors’ position.
Our policy is to issue an amended version whenever the search engines make a format change like this.
You can find more information about TopicCrunch on its main pages.
