Default Re: Any cheaper alternatives to Hoover?...

That is an excellent resource.
Thanks much!

As to making it faster,there are programs that will automate grabbing data
from this site or others.
Mostly called "scrapers". You set up the steps to do a search and it is recorded and it can output to a CSV file for viewing.

All these programs have fairly steep learning curves.
AND they can be expensive.

You might try hiring someone at Fiverr.com to build a "bot" which is another term for the scrapers.Or have them scrape a list for you. Fiverr is a site where you can get work done for $5. Everything is $5!

a few names of software are "iMacros","WinAutomation", and "UBot".
For ease of use and to get going the fastest, I would suggest "UBot Studio".
It is available in 3 versions from $245 up to $695 depending upon the functions you need.

Once you build a bot you can compile it into an executable and sell that to recover your spend.
BTW Google <UBot coupon> and you'll likely find $50 discount codes for it.

WinAutomation is $285. Great also but, UBot is easier to use.
iMacros is $499 and you'd need to now some scripting languages in order to get the full benefit from it.
