Overall, the SEO Spider interface may feel a little daunting to users who have never worked with an SEO analysis tool before. No matter which edition you’re working with, installation is a relatively quick and pain-free experience. SEO Spider works on any computer running Windows, Mac, or Ubuntu. With SEO Spider you can simply right-click on a URL and hit “Crawl Path Report” to see exactly how it was discovered. If a particular URL should be hidden from public searches, this can obviously be a major headache. One common problem with other SEO website crawling services is that there’s no way to tell how a program found a specific URL.

With either, you can display up to 10,000 URLs at once. Using SEO Spider, you can create crawl diagrams and tree graphs, both of which are really useful for understanding your site’s architecture. SEO Spider can solve this problem with an advanced algorithmic search that locates any pages on your site with the same headings, titles or descriptions. But, of course, if you run a large site it’s nearly impossible to manually check for cloned pages. Google and other major search engines don’t look kindly on duplicate content, so having copies of the same pages on your site can quickly lead to lowered page rankings.


If you need to schedule regular search crawls for specific URLs, evaluate unpublished websites that can only be accessed through a login, or extract databases for use in another program, this could well be the right tool for you. During our review, SEO Spider stood out for the efficiency of its searches and broad feature set.
