Scrape Advertisements from Google Search Results with Python

There are a number of services out there such as Google Cash Detective that will go run some searches on Google and then save the advertisements so you can track who is advertising for what keywords over time. It’s actually a very accurate technique for finding out what ads are profitable. After tracking a keyword for several weeks it’s possible to see what ads have been running consistently over time. The nature of Pay Per Click is that only profitable advertisements will continue to run long term. So if you can identify what ads, for what keywords are profitable then it should be possible to duplicate them and get some of that profitable traffic for yourself. The following script is a Python program that perhaps breaks the Google terms of service. So consider it as a guide for how this kind of HTML parsing could be done. It spoofs the User-agent to appear as though it is a real browser, and then does a search through all the keywords stored in an sqlite database and stores the ads displayed for that keyword in the database. The script makes use of the awesome Beautiful Soup library. Beautiful Soup makes parsing HTML content really easy. But because of the nature of scraping the web it is very fragile since it makes several assumptions about the structure of the Google results page and if they change their site then the script could break.

PHP Google Referrer Keyword Phrase

Sometimes it can be useful to know why a visitor arrived on a certain page. For instance, if you have a FAQ page on a variety of topics, you could provide a quick menu related to the terms that the user is interested in, before the remainder of the page. Alternatively, you could rewrite the page so that the terms are highlighted or indeed redirect the user to a more specific page altogether. I wrote the following exert as part of a larger script that provided search results for pages that had a low match to the keyterm in the main content. Certain pages on a website were getting referrals because of navigational links to other pages, so people where hitting the 'widget' page, when they had really wanted the 'thingy' page because the original widget page mentioned and linked to the 'thingy' page. With this as a plug-in on the page, we could help provide a more appropriate page and a better user experience for our visitors.
