I’ve become a big fan of Google. Now before I start pouring in praises for the search giant, it’s quite amusing to note that their well-loved search routine begins with the modest process of web crawling performed by crawlers (aka spiders or bots) commonly referred to as Googlebots.

How they tested, tried and played with the crawled data has turned them into a massive unparalleled search sensation.

So what set them apart?

Sales rep – what a great tag to walk around with.

Dynamic career development, good networking, great pay, opportunities to travel around and what not?

You are the star, since you run the show by bringing business.

But, to the person on the answering side of the telephone, you are just another annoying salesperson trying to spark a conversation. As a sales guy, day in and day out you spend most of the time at your desk trying to call random people to bring business.

Cold calling is not dead. Phone sales is still one of the best ways to drive business.

The recent Federal judge’s injunction against LinkedIn that it can’t stop bots accessing its public data could turn out to be a landmark moment for the commercial use of the data on the net. It was a nuanced interpretation of the law keeping up with the reality of the rapid webification of the real world. It is still early stages regarding the result of that specific lawsuit, but the directions and arguments bode well to clarify the gray area of legality associated with internet data and commercial use.

Data drives business. And now data is available in petabytes in public domain that encompasses all aspects of a business. So, in addition to helping you solve practical business problems, public domain data can help you discover new opportunities in areas you never knew existed. But this data is spread so wide over the web, you need an advanced crawl system to discover data, handle IP bans, dynamic HTMLs, in-page Java scripts, parallel task processing, infrastructure management issues and data parsing issues, to get you the data you need. Which is why you need an enterprise-grade crawler manager like Mobito to power-up your web crawlers to process large volumes of data without running into these crawling issues.
