TopicCrunch goes Pro

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

Search Engine Professionals, now you can …
… see how all your domains are doing in the SERPs,
… do this against many, many keywords, and
… do this with just one unattended run.

The new TopicCrunch PRO can aggregate multiple projects into one run.  This means you can save your own time: Get on with something else, and look at the results once everything has been gathered up.  One run can show you how your domains are doing against many keywords.  So now, and with very little effort, you can see how effective your Search Engine Optimization efforts are, every day, each week, or once a month, as you wish.

Setting up batches is made easy using a step-by-step wizard.  Or if you’re a tech wizard yourself, you can use a text editor to make batch and project files.

The installer is available here:
http://www.topicscape.com/TopicCrunch/download-topiccrunch.php

All purchasers of TopicCrunch (now called ‘TopicCrunch basic’) will receive a  FREE  UPGRADE  to TopicCrunch Pro.  You will need a new license, so find the original license email that you received when you bought TopicCrunch, hit the Reply button and change the subject line to “Claiming free upgrade”.

You may have to wait a few days, so please be patient – we shall be issuing these upgrade licenses manually, but you can install TopicCrunch Pro and trial it for 30 days anyway.

If you haven’t bought TopicCrunch basic yet, the door is closing but it’s not quite closed.  All purchasers up to midnight Tuesday 7th October will be eligible for the free upgrade.

Buy TopicCrunch basic quickly – yes now! – and get the upgrade to the Pro product FREE.

TopicCrunch update

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

This morning Microsoft changed some formatting in its Live Search results.  This resulted in missing information from that engine in TopicCrunch results.

This has been fixed already, and you can download the update to TopicCrunch, the deep searcher now <<< Please click the link just given.  This update is free to all past purchasers of TopicCrunch and those who have not yet completed a free trial.Search engine optimization

Note:  TopicCrunch is the web search utility that searches on up to four search phrases, and then consolidates the results from the three main search engines, producing a list with no duplicate entries.

This is invaluable in getting a clickable list of all the companies on the web who are in a market you are interested in, locating all the web sites handling a specific product or just finding, say, all the cookery sites out there. 

It has an additional function that helps you track your own web sites’ positions for chosen keywords, day by day.  For more information, please click the image on the right.

TopicCrunch update for MSN change

Monday, April 21st, 2008

We check TopicCrunch against all three major search engines daily.   On Saturday April 19th 2008, TopicCrunch started recording no hits for any search on MSN.  This is because the SERPs (search engine result pages) had changed the part of their format that TopicCrunch uses to extract the results.

TopicCrunch has now been brought into line with the new format and an updated installer version is available at the usual place:

http://www.topicscape.com/TopicCrunch/download-topiccrunch.php

There is no need to uninstall TopicCrunch first, just install the new version on top of the old.

TopicCrunch and Yahoo! results

Friday, May 25th, 2007

TopicCrunch is at present showing “nf” (not found) for all TopicCrunch searches at Yahoo!

Results after change in Yahoo format

This results from a change to the internal format of their search results.  We are working on this and will release a revised version of TopicCrunch as soon as possible (we hope within a day or so).

This update will be free to all purchasers of TopicCrunch.

We expect something similar to happen with Google results soon. “Google Universal” is a new way of integrating search results from the many Google properties into one search results page.  When this reaches us and if it affects TopicCrunch, we will adjust it again. 

If you have an example of a Google search that fails with TopicCrunch, please do the same search manually in your browser, save the source of the page (View > Source; File > Save As) and email it to our support address.

Thanks.

3D-Scape products and Windows Vista

Friday, February 16th, 2007

If you use TopicCrunch you may want to know if it will work in Vista.  Yes, it does.  Our deep searching software has been tested on Vista and found to work normally. 

 Topicscape Pro and Topicscape Lite are under test with Vista.  It’s fun to see the 3D mindmapping window move into Vista’s own 3D environment.  It will take a few weeks to complete our full test plan and make any necessary adjustments. 

New TopicCrunch on line for download

Friday, January 12th, 2007

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.
