Of course, there is no need to mindlessly copy title, description, keywords and headings H1 – H6, but collecting data for analysis is the right thing to do.
Why scrape competitors or sites of your subject in other regions:
- find out the leaders of the niche;
- to collect the semantics of the search results for the top;
- find out other phrases by which your competitors are promoting;
- examine the structure of their landing pages;
- analyze content by headings;
- evaluate URL metadata.
The process consists of two stages: top analysis and data parsing from selected URLs.
To reduce the load on the Internet channel, hide your IP and protect confidential data, it is better to use a proxy server. In Windows, proxy configuration is done through Control Panel → Internet Options → Connections → Network Settings → Proxy Server. You can buy personal IPv4 proxies at you-proxy.com.
Who needs proxies?
Personal proxies from proxy-sale.com are needed:
- specialists using automatic software for likes, subscriptions and other types of activity;
- in order to avoid blocking all pages in case of violations on one of them;
- to ensure your safety on the Internet;
- to access sites that are denied access from your IP;
- to access sites and download files from sites that are not allowed to access from your country or city.
