SE::Yahoo::Suggest - Yahoo Suggest Scraper

Overview of the scraper

Yahoo keyword suggestion scraper. The Yahoo suggestion scraper solves one of the main SEO tasks, namely the rapid automated acquisition of an expanded semantic core. Thanks to the SE::Yahoo::Suggest scraper, you can automatically collect keyword databases from Yahoo search engine suggestions by query. Using the SE::Yahoo::Suggest scraper, you can easily and quickly scrape Yahoo suggestions for a query based on the selected domain.

Thanks to the multithreading of A-Parser, the query processing speed can reach 7700 queries per minute, which on average allows obtaining up to 51000 results per minute.

Overview: speed of operation

You can use automatic query multiplication, substitution of subqueries from files, permutation of alphanumeric combinations and lists to obtain the maximum possible number of results. Using results filtering you can immediately clean the result by removing all unnecessary trash (using negative keywords).

A-Parser functionality allows you to save SE::Yahoo::Suggest scraping settings for future use (presets), set scraping schedules, and much more.

Saving results is possible in the form and structure you need, thanks to the built-in powerful Template Toolkit which allows applying additional logic to results and outputting data in various formats, including JSON, SQL, and CSV.

  • Keyword database collection

Queries

Search phrases should be specified as queries, for example:

write essay
Football
Waterfall
Speak in english
Cats and dogs
forex
cheap essay

Query substitutions

You can use built-in macros for automatic substitution of subqueries from files; for example, if we want to add a list of other words to each query, we specify several main queries:

essay
article
thesis

In the query format, we specify a substitution macro for additional words from the file Keywords.txt; this method allows increasing query variability manifold:

{subs:Keywords} $query 

This macro will create as many additional queries as there are in the file for each original search query, which will result in [number of original queries(domains)] x [number of queries in the Keywords file] = [total number of queries] as a result of the macro's operation.

For example, if the file Keywords.txt contains:

buy
cheap

As a result, the substitution macro will turn 3 main queries into 6:

buy essay
cheap essay
buy article
cheap article
buy thesis
cheap thesis
