Tutorial: Simple Email Scraper for OS X
To celebrate the release of our first foray into the Mac OS X black hat tool world, Simple Email Scraper 1.0, we’ve decided to write a brief public tutorial to give you a quick overview of how you can use the application to increase your sales.
After you’ve started the program, you will be presented with a screen very similar to the one above. Starting from the top, the Domain text box contains all of the domains for email services to search. We’ve provided a great top 20 list for you, but feel free to add or subtract any domains you wish. This is easy to do by separating each domain with a comma. The next text box down contains all of the keywords you wish to search on. You can search for more than one keyword at a time by separating each keyword with a comma. If you’re using the demo, you won’t be able to change the Time Delay, but if you’re using the full version, you’ll be able to adjust the delay in between separate queries. The slower the speed of the queries, the more likely you are to receive more emails without being temporarily blocked.
In this tutorial we’ll be pretending that the niche or product line we’re looking to market is the refrigerator market. Before you begin a search with Simple Email Scraper, it is always best to input as many keywords as you can think of. If you have trouble finding relevant keywords, a Thesaurus or keyword suggestion tool, like the ones located at DigitalPoint and Wordtracker, can be extremely helpful.
Once you’ve set your email domains and keywords, simple press the Search button.
Once you’ve created a list that you’re happy with, simply hit the Export to CSV or TXT button. Save the export file to any place you like. If you’re using a mailing program such as e3 Software’s Direct Mail or a spreadsheet program like Excel, you can easily either drag-and-drop or import the the file you’ve exported to create a fully-functioning email list.
Now, we aren’t suggesting that you use our software or Direct Mail in any nefarious way. Obviously, spam is illegal. However, these kinds of research tools and scrapers can be very helpful to your marketing efforts in entirely legal ways.
