New Website Search Engine Program Released
I mentioned the plans about this in both our support forum, tweets and elsewhere, yet it continued to drag out as I was buy adding features to the existing Microsys tools. I am happy to announce that we recently released the A1 Website Search Engine tool.

In its present version, it features a unique Javascript search engine builder that beats similar solutions in search quality and file size. It uses technology found in A1 Website Analyzer and A1 Keyword Research to generate a search and score index taking content in pages (including weighing e.g. titles and headers higher than normal content), internal linking structure and other factors into consideration.

While the Javascript search engine is mostly useful to smaller websites (500-1000 pages) and offline media, a PHP/database search engine solutions will be soon added to the types of search engines that can be created.

While the forum moderators are pretty adamant about not accepting spam and link dropping to websites of dubious quality, it continues to be a “do-follow” forum for those people who contribute content and knowledge. If this sounds good to you, check out the webmaster forum. And yes, it is also possible to market website related services in the “buy and sell” section

Just a couple of quick tips for those starting their own forum: Start out with only a few discussion sections until your forum grows. Then slowly increase amount of sections until you cover all the topics you want. You should also take forceful measures against automated spam since it can quickly lower the quality of the forum.

New Tool For Webmasters Coming Soon
We are currently working on a website search engine builder tool. It will allow you to easily setup search engine functionality for offline media such as CDs and online media such as websites. We are aiming for a solution that will be cost effective, easy to install, without any forced branding and able to deliver high quality search results!

It is by combining and extending technology already found in our keyword analysis and website analysis tools that we are creating this new product for webmasters, website owners and offline media publishers. As we continually build and expand our website tools technology, we will also be improving our custom search engine solution, e.g. by adding more “scoring” metrics in page content analysis used for ranking search results.

The first public release of this upcoming tool is expected in late 2011. (But can be delayed to early 2012 in case beta testing takes longer then expected.)
