  • Seems like a pretty good service - will check it out and hopefully it succeeds!
  • Looks good. Do you know how they are interfacing with the SEs? I

    We are crawling the search providers using certain urls that provide information on the sponsored bidders. Crawling occurs many times per day to cover time zones and day part behaviors.

    The crawler also crawls blogs, press, optimized sites, and landing pages.
  • Sounds good, I will give it a go.

  • Hello Dominic,

    Google and others do have limits, we are careful not to impose on those. We are also careful to be sure that the SE's know that we are a crawler so that there is no negative impact on impressions and CTR's.

    We look forward to working with you.
  • Perhaps real stats and facts can change the situation and a runner up can be a winner.
  • Yet another feather in cap of Search Engine competition tools. I shall be using it.
  • Will it be possible to use this service for spying on competitors and creating similar landing pages and bids?
  • Such services have worth to use them. I was thinking about installing many tools on my own site because on many sites I have found them full of errors and bugs. Surely, i shall give it a try.
  • This is my intuition that the Search Monitor will be a good tool for corporate bloggers
  • All these new services always are better than previous ones of course if they would be interested to develop and grow a good business so I always appreciate them.
