automatic spidering for links?
Anyone know if it's possible to automate the process of surfing the web for links to then manually add to your LinksSQL?

Example--you have a site on fly fishing and want to create the world's biggest fly fishing web-index of sites. Unfortunately you don't have time or the inclination to surf the Web, finding sites and then adding them one-by-one.

Any thoughts or am I daydreaming of a perfect world?

We are working on just that, a targeted spider. It's about three weeks away from completetion (we've been sidetracked with another project).

Basically you can seed it with some initial links, and define a set of rules for what is a link you want to follow, then let it go search the web.

We'll post more details as they become available.

Cheers,

Alex
