Text Scraping Tool
-
Can anyone recommend an easy to use website or tool (ideally free) to scrape all the visible text from a website to use for SEO/SEM keyword research?
Thanks as always MOZ friends!

Thanks for the info - and of course always for good and not evil with these types of tools. What I'm hoping to do is just enter a URL, have it scrape the site, and then dump all of the text on the site into a document to put into a keyword density tool to gain perspective on new partner websites for industries where we are entering for the first time. All for SEO, content ideas, learning about value propositions and services as well as for keyword ideas for SEM.
Looks like doing some programming might be the best way to go here - was hoping someone may have already built this kind of functionality!
Thanks again!

If you know a bit of programming you can go to GitHub and find some basic python code to build a custom web scrapper and format it to grab html. Or Screaming frog and Scrapebox might do the trick. But use with care and don't abuse them.
Hope that helps some.

Does having redirects in a Adwords text ad destination URL hurt quality scores?
I recently noticed that one of my clients had several redirects in their Adwords text ad destination URLs. I updated the destination URLS to land on the final location (thereby losing all the text ad history). However I'm wondering if this could have any impact on the text ad quality scores (none of them were disapproved).

What is a good tool to use to create SEA reports in?
Hiya Mozzers, I'm looking for a tool to create fancy SEA reports in. I'm doing it manually in Word right now and that just takes far too much time and just isn't pretty. We're a small marketing-as-a-service agency and SEA is one of the services we offer, but we're not an Adwords certified partner yet (because we don't have the 10.000 a month yet). So that's to give you an idea of our company size. We're not looking for something big and expensive. Would love to hear some idea's on tools to use! Sophie

Why doesn't exact match appear to be working for me in Google AdWords tool?
Hi guys, I recently read Rand's article here and tried out the exact match symbols on my keywords. However, these don't appear to be working for me as the results aren't showing up as they do in the above SEOmoz article (attached screenshot). What am I doing wrong?

Adspert and bid management tools.
Hi, Just a quickie. Has anyone on here used Adspert, or a similar bid management tool? We are currently trialing it, but I have mixed feelings about it. Most of our campaigns have the option of using conversion optimiser and I wonder if I would be better using the Google tools. What are your thoughts? Thanks Steve
