Via a friend I've found a little website that is up for sale and I like it. All the obvious things have been checked and confirmed (legit, respected, traffic is certified and so forth).

I've also started looking into the SW itself (a sort of heavily customised drupal but no changes in core files so not a fork).

What else would you investigate? Not so much from a business point of view but from... any other point of view :)

Cheers

hi all, I've got something like 18000 websites I need to visit and extract some info from but every single one has a different organisation, there is no way I can make up rules unless I make 18000 of them or I spent weeks coming up with some sort of AI stuff.

At the same time I'm not an expert in the fields hence my question: would you got for manual scraping or you are aware of very sophisticated tools that I could try out? I'm aware of the well-known OSS ones (Weka, Scrapy, Beautiful Soup) but unless I'm missing something they fall into the "write as many rules as different websites you've got" category.

TA!
