    Hey,

    I'm wanting to learn how to program a keyword search tool. This tool can be ether web based or computer desktop based it doesn't matter. How do you make a call to googles keyword tool to retrieve keywords and then filter the lower keywords out. I have a big picture of what I'm wanting to do, but I have to start with 1 small part at a time.:cool:

    this would be a fairly simple task for an experienced programmer

    what is your level of programming knowledge? do you have a preferred language?

    well to be straight, I'm not a programmer. I'm trying to learn programming, I've mostly be working with php. I have a few websites that are programmed in php. I've tried to find out using google search on how to be able to make calls of retrieving information, but have had no luck. People do this all the time so surely it's not that hard I would hope. I just don't know the right steps or even the coding format to be used. If I can come up with some basic coding of this I could play around with it and try and learn it better. Thanks in advance for any more information anyone can give.

    thats the best way to learn - start with something small that works and change it

    see what affect those changes have ... repeat ...

    Take a look at PHP if you want web based. You can use REGEX and the preg_match function. It may be worth a look into. Either way, regex looks like the best option for you, and you can use it in various programming languages... it may be worth working your way up. It is the best option. Start with small projects and work your way up to larger ones.

    Google's keyword tool has Captcha protection doesn't it? This would make it virtually impossible to scrape data automatically.

    hey guys,
    Thanks for the replies and advise. I have seen many keyword programs for sale, some look really cool and very expensive. I would just like to know how you do this. Here is a link to keyword rockstar. www.keywordrockstar.com/features.php. This is a cool program and a lot more advanced than what I am. But very expensive. All the keyword tools I've seen uses the google search volumes for the report. Does anyone have a basic program of how this works they would let me look at or have to learn from? I'm not a programmer, but am trying to learn some programming. The people who have this stuff sales it for a very high monthly fee, so high poor people like me can't really compete in the internet marketing world. With spending so much on the computer that it's not really worth it. I have lost just about everything and am very desperate to find out how to make some money online and then teach others in my shoes to do the same thing. My goal is to create a most powerful marketing tool/ tools to help poor people make money online and not charge them an very high monthly fee to do it. Yes, these tools are already out there but they are so high people like me can't afford them.

    If these companies have access to Googles search volumes, there is a good chance they have some kind of partnership with google to gain that

    Hey, Thanks for the information. Now I have to just learn how to work with this. As I said I'm not a programmer, just trying to learn to program. Any feedback on where the best places to learn programming is? I know this is a big project for someone like me, but I really do want to get to the point where I can help people make money online.

    hj6577,

    Google is your friend. To start I would sit down and make a requirement doc. I personally prefer to follow Agile development methodologies. My development process(since I mostly work solo) is as follows:

    1: Create usage "stories" from the end user POV
    2: Create the design mockup or wireframe
    3: Fill in the wholes with code on the backend :)

    btw, I am from Arkansas too ;)
