Web harvesting (also known as Web Scraping) is an invaluable way to identify customer’s searches to their website. Increasing exposure through by using web harvesting is essential for any business looking to expand online. The use of web harvesting increases the probability that an online search will direct a potential customer to your website, a key factor in increasing online business revenue.

​

What is Web Harvesting?

​

Although extremely technical, the basics of web harvesting are easy to grasp:

• A web harvesting program identifies websites for specific content directed at the particular web harvest inquiry;

• The web harvesting program downloads the website information, including a link which directs the searcher to the companies’ website;

• The information is then indexed by well-known search engines such as Google and Yahoo so it is easily accessible by further searches

​

As easy and straight-forward as it may sound, most business owners don’t have the time, know-how and resources to embrace the power of web harvesting. As a result, they are missing out on a valuable analytics tool.

​

Ficstar’s web harvesting solution provides unprecedented power to gain valuable insight. It automatically extracts information from the Deep Web and picks up where search engines leave off, doing the work the search engine can’t. Our extraction tool automates the reading, copying and pasting necessary to collect information for analysis, pulls together information on competitors, prices and financial data of all types.

​

We go beyond what search engines see and take advantage of the fact that Web pages reveal more information than just obvious content. We dive deep in links from other sources that point to a particular Web page that indicate the popularity of that page, while links within a Web page that point to other resources may indicate the richness or variety of topics covered in that page. This allows us to see the bigger picture, analyze Web logs to understand access patterns and trends to identify structural issues and resource groupings.

​

With Ficstar’s customized web harvesting solution, businesses can analyze individual trends, so Web sites can be personalized for specific users. Based on access patterns, a site can be dynamically customized in terms of the information displayed, the depth of the site structure and the format of the resources presented.

Deep Web Harvesting To Benefit Your Business

​

At 400 to 500 times the size of the surface Web, the deep Web is a goldmine of information waiting to be tapped for business intelligence. This requires the right approach and right tools. Ficstar offers a scalable solution designed to harvest deep web content and deliver it in a usable format.

​

It does not just search engines that are not able to tap into the wealth of information on the deep web; web crawlers also leave data untapped. To make sure you can access as much information as possible, Ficstar has developed a custom-fit deep web harvesting solution to access deep web content. Filling out forms, selecting from menus, and structuring content into useful formats are some of the ways Ficstar helps you access information that can help your business.

​

By employing machine learning, Ficstar puts search results into context and weeds out information that isn’t relevant to your search. As the software continues to learn, you’ll get better search results. Our versatile solution also takes care of the challenge of organizing data into several easy to work with formats. Less time spent on organizing information leaves more time for analysis and implementation.

​

If you need to track pricing information from suppliers, Ficstar’s deep web harvesting and monitoring platform brings you the latest information, not the last version indexed on Google. You can also gather market data and track the news to help predict changes.

​

You can discover what happens when machine learning meets deep web search. You get more relevant data, without the headache of sorting through the information you don’t need.

​

We comb the web for you, doing the equivalent of hundreds to thousands of individual searches. Ficstar’s deep web harvesting tool is a better choice than hiring someone to monitor searches manually. This task would be never-ending and there would still be valuable data left untouched.

​

With our deep web harvesting software, you can access deep web information previously inaccessible from posts, to tweets, to RSS feeds, and it doesn’t leave out “simple” things like surface sites either. An ideal data mining tool, it will be a complete search and intelligence gathering tool that delves into the Deep Web to retrieve the information you need.

​

Ficstar’s Web harvesting solution gives people control of their Deep Web search, making it ideal for Big Data analysis.
