Niche Spider

Niche Spider is a simple, small and powerfulspider, a piece of software which grabs specific webpage data. It can grab data from tens of thousands of sites, and then present the data collected in nice, neat pages without the need of any database. Yes, NO database programming required!

When visiting a website, Niche Spider also leaves it's calling card in the site's visitor logs (the 'Referer' and 'User-Agent', which you can set), just like Googlebot or any other spider or web crawler. That, in itself, is a great way to announce yourself to the world, and to generate some curiosity/traffic at the same time.

However, Niche Spider is NOT Googlebot, or Yahoo's Slurp, or MSN's MSNBot. Google, Yahoo and MSN have access to computers, servers and databases us lesser mortals can only dream about.

And the spiders they use crawl the web, looking for and following links to pages, which are then added to their respective databases. Such is their power they can traverse the entire web in a month or two, or less, adding and updating billions of pages in the process.

Niche Spider does NOT crawl the web, but targets a small piece of the web instead (a niche area). You decide what that niche is. It may, or may not be related to your website's theme. That's completely up to you.

And before we get started, there's a couple of other points. Niche Spider is FREE. However, in return, the odd link is added to the bottom of one or two of the pages produced (not every page). Of course, you can delete any such links if you wish. But if you keep any on, however, it would be very much appreciated.

It is also possible to make some cash by adding Google AdSense code to each template. Or you can include whatever affiliate products you may be aiming to promote. It's up to you. But they'll then appear on every page produced by Niche Spider. Enough said!
