The beta release of SEO Lab for Mac OS X is set to end soon. A release candidate version that includes site/domain analysis will be available in the coming week.
The first versions of the software will be available as a 30 day trial download. The initial price will be $79 for single user license.
All our domain name portfolio management software products use a highly customizable scheme for obtaining various data from whois records. This is done through what we call string tokens that identify key data elements.
Please see “whois server configuration” for more details on this.
There are times when simple string token settings will not work. Here are a couple of advanced string extraction token examples.
[Zone-C]@@Name:
German domain records have multiple blocks of data each with same text tokens. The above will allow you to extract the “Registrar Name” (look for the token “Name:” that follows “[Zone-C]” in the whois records).
Registrant:@@#L#2
Some whois records may always contain the required data at a specific line number. Use the above to pick the text at line 2 after the occurrence of the token “Registrant:” (please note that blank lines are ignored).
We have updated SEO Lab Professional. The new version has a tab that displays basic SERP statistics. Use it to quickly find information like sites that are ranked in all three search engines, domains that have hyphens, etc.
Within 2 days we will be releasing an update to SEO Lab Professional that will allow you to quickly find key statistical SEO data like…
You can simply right click within the “Competition” view and select “SERP Statistics” to view this.
Did you know that in Watch My Domains ISP you can use SQL queries to quickly display the domains that interest you. For example, you can just type in
soft|comp+.com
to find and list all .COM domains in your database that contain either “soft” or “comp” (like softnik.com, computer.com, freesoftware.com, company.com, etc.) in them.
You can also search within other fields like name servers, owner name, etc.
Press Ctrl-F while in the Domain Manager tab of Watch My Domains ISP to open the “Simple SQL Find Query” dialog (see screen shot).
The following screen shot will make this more clear.
You can optionally examine the actual SQL query that is generated to find the domains. This will help you learn basic SQL query structure.
Microsoft has released a beta version of Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. You can use it to check if your PC can run Windows 7 (if you are already running Windows Vista, you will probably have no problems upgrading to Windows 7).
“The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor Beta is a pre-release version and is available in U.S. English only. While we consider this a stable and high-quality beta, it’s not the finished product.”
Watch My Domains ISP supports adding any number of custom data fields to the domain portfolio database. To do this, switch to the “Config” tab in the ribbon bar and click on “Custom Fields” ribbon button. This will bring up the dialog box shown in the screen shot below. Use it to create the additional fields you require.
To edit the additional fields in the database, use the “Config > Setup > Custom Data” ribbon bar button. Remember to select only the fields that should be modified so that the rest of the custom columns are not edited. You can edit the data corresponding to a group of domains by highlighting the domains (shift or ctrl key plus mouse click will highlight multiple domains) and then clicking the “Custom Data” button.
The Web Page Monitor is a component of SEO Lab Professional that will allow you to check the contents and also take full page screen snapshots of all your important web pages at regular intervals.
You can add a number of URLs into the software and then specify an interval for checking the web page contents and for taking the full screen web page snapshots. You can also specify text tokens that will be searched for within the web page html.
After downloading and installing SEO Lab Professional, you will find Web page Monitor in the SEO Lab Professional start menu folder.
All our domain name portfolio management software products use the Windows registry to store the whois settings.
To backup the whois configuration used by Watch My Domains or Domain Punch Pro, use RegEdit and export the following key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Softnik Technologies\Whois Setup v2
You can do this from command-line using some thing like the following
regedit /e “C:\Users\Home User\Documents\whoisbackup.reg” “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Softnik Technologies\Whois Setup v2″
The above will export the whois settings key branch to a file called whoisbackup.reg in the directory specified. Remember to specify the file path for the “.reg” file properly.
One of the new features added to Domain Punch Pro v2 and Watch My Domains ISP v3 is the ability to monitor MX records of domains. You can use it to check if all your domains have been properly configured to send / receive emails.
You can display the MX records as host names (MX1, MX2… columns) or IP addresses (MXIP1, MXIP2… columns). Right click within the domain list and select “Setup Columns” to enable the display of required columns.
