Footprint Finder Google Scraper

Footprint Finder Google Scraper is a lightweight Windows application developed with a single goal in mind: to help you harvest URLs from any query from Google and export the information to a file. It proves to be particularly useful for those who build links to their sites, as the tool is able to generate a list with backlinks to a website or webpage.

Portable running mode

The utility comes in a standalone package that can be deployed on your system without having to follow the steps of a configuration process. It doesn’t alter your computer’s configuration information, so your Windows registry doesn’t get bloated with additional files and settings.
Good news is that you can store the program on any USB flash drive or other devices and run it directly on the target computer. Since it doesn’t write registry entries, you run the app without having administrator privileges on the target PC.

User interface

Footprint Finder Google Scraper delivers a clean and simple GUI without concealing any complex configuration settings under its hood. It integrates a built-in web browser and the search results are limited to 1000 results.

How it works

Although the program doesn’t bundle a help manual, there are only a few settings to play with and these are highly intuitive.
The tool builds a up a list with URLs from any query from Google. You can enlarge the URL list by adding information from multiple searches. What’s more, you are allowed to export the information to plain text file format and apply filters by sorting the list with URLs down to unique domains.
On the downside, Footprint Finder Google Scraper hasn’t been updated for a while so it may cause compatibility issues on newer operating systems. During our testing it crashed several times on Windows 7 when trying to harvest URLs.

Bottom line

To sum things up, Footprint Finder Google Scraper delivers a straightforward way for helping you scrap URLs of Google search results. The intuitive layout makes it suitable especially for less experienced users.
