I am the owner and chief bottle washer for a small company in a very niche market. My company consists of only myself and my wife and items are prions and sell for $20,000-$40,000 on average. I've worked with SEO and IT individuals one-on-one but for the most part have done a good part of study and research in order to speak their language and give specific and helpful information along the way.
The short story in my immediate need is to know if they is a recommended program for spidering the Internet to collect targeted e-mail addresses. Prior, I used a suite called Prospect Finder with acceptable results but other aspects of trying to run the business distracted me from the technical end of the marketing and now I find myself in need of acquiring another program that may be better or more up-to-date. After contacting the manufacturer of Prospect Finder today they inform me that the program they sell now had changed in order to comply with some new Internet rules. That program used to let you put a specific URL like a directory that listed multiple businesses within my industry that I wanted to collect e-mail addresses from, and it would spider the entire website collecting all the middle addresses from the various businesses that have posted either a free or paid for listing. Now, their primary program they sell does not have that feature any longer and they have a sister site called link nabber dot com which does something similar but mainly appears to be used for collecting highly ranked websites within a key word or phrase in order to build your linking in order to increase your organic SEO by link building however it appears that it may in fact collect email addresses but I'd rather see what you guys have to offer as a suggested program first.
It was 2003 when I purchased the old version and I don't have my customer ID and unlock codes anymore and they don't have them on file to give me.
Can anyone recommend a spidering program for me to collect targeted e-mail addresses ? I would like to have the option of experimenting by keyword but primarily would like to put a specific URL to a directory and mine and collect all of those e-mail addresses that have already been collected into a targeted URL. In other words, I don't want one of those generic spiders that just goes out and collects any old e-mail you can that exists on the Internet to spam. I'm not set up for spamming, and I'm signed up and experimenting with Constant Contact which frowns on sending e-mail to people who have not opted in or been given the opportunity to opt in. I also welcome any opinion or experience regarding Constant Contact which I have found to be very user-friendly as well as giving good feedback on how many e-mails were opened, which customers clicked on a particular hyperlink, takes care of the people who want to opt out and so forth. I'm told however that many of my e-mails will be undeliverable because the Internet Service Providers have blacklisted some of those e-mail managing programs.
Enough for now. This is my first post as a new user and if there is a better category for these types of questions please let me know.
Thank you in advance for the advice and recommendations.
