SEODigger Improvements and Recommendations

Just a quick note to say that I’m still more than a little excited about SEODigger and I’m noticing little improvements to SEODigger almost everyday.

Since I wrote about SEODigger being a powerful keyword research and competitive SEO tool the other day I’ve noticed the following additional features which really improve the functionlity and cut back on the time it takes to do some serious competitive keyword research.

Improvements to SEODigger Thus Far

Export to .csv - I already mentioned how this function could improve SEODigger and recommended it through the feedback form on the SEODigger site.
- At present this is limited to 5000 keyword phrases.
- Whilst it’s still time-consuming to analyse gigantic sites with 5000+ keywords, the majority of sites fall well short of this figure.

Sort ascending/descending - You can now order your results which makes it easy to pick out the terms with the highest estimated traffic.
- Unfortunately, only the results on a single page will be ordered with this function. Remember each page displays 50 keyword phrases.
- I think it would be nice to sort through every single result but until then I guess I’ll just have to export to a spreadsheet and do it myself.

SEODigger Recommendations

The only things I could recommend to improve SEODigger at this stage would be;

Increase (or remove) the limit on the amount of keywords that can be exported; and,
Tweak the sort function to order all results rather than just those on the page being viewed.
Allow users to select how many rows to display per page (ie. 50, 100, 500 etc).

I’m sure there are other things that could be done to make SEODigger even more awesome and from the looks of it the developers are responding quickly to the recommendations of users.

If you have any other recommendations for improving SEODigger then please leave a comment below. Cheers!

Any chance of a Yahoo Search?

Hi Scott,

I’d say Yaho Search is the next logical step for SeoDigger. I asked their support team a few questions a while back and I’ve listed the responses below.

Q. Will the 5000 keyword limit be increased in the future?

A. Yes, this limit set for minimize server loading on a beta-test stage and will be increased in the future.

Q. Will it be possible to order all results, not just one page?

A. We works for expand this feature, but now, as I see, it’s impossible for technical reasons. May be this feature can be release as request-system (not in real-time) for payment accounts.

Q. Big one - I’m from Australia and I would love to use SEODigger to query rankings within Google.com.au, is there any chance SEODigger will be expanded for local versions of Google?

A. This feature is in our ToDo-list, but not be implemented in the near future, because a large disk spaces and CPU time are required (processing full keywords database for one of Google datacenter’s occupy about 1 week).

We want to release search in MSN and Yahoo results first.

Hope you find that useful.
