Choosing some of these keywords and phrases can therefore aid in targeting your audience correctly through organic search. Real World To perform a keyword search, simply enter your main keyword or site title into the ‘SEARCH KEYWORDS’ field and clicking ‘SEARCH’. It may take up to 120 second for a search to be performed depending on which keyword you use. Once the search is complete you can then highlight the keywords you wish to use and click ‘ADD’. Please note: The search engine data is read from an external source on the internet, therefore we cannot guarantee the validity or accuracy of search results. Use it wisely. |
Search History
When enabled, the search history can display visitor performed searches on parking pages in the form links to virtual pages related to the respective search term. You will notice that in the admin area, next to each keyword there is a number. E.G.: (1 hits). This is a record of how many times a specific search term has been searched by visitors.

RSS Feeds
RSS feeds are used by the script to show content relevant to your keyword selections upon your parking pages. The script comes with over 40 RSS feeds to choose from, you can view the current feeds using the ‘SITE RSS FEEDS’ drop down list. Alternatively you may enter specify and save your own RSS feeds to display on your parking pages. Once you have added a feed these will be available for selection later from the ‘YOUR RSS FEEDS’ drop down box. When adding RSS feeds you should be aware that this script only supports ‘Search RSS Feeds’, these are RSS feeds that allow for search terms to be specified. If you choose to add an RSS search that is not a search type RSS feed, it will display on the site but it will not show relevant content to your keywords and it will not show relevant content when a visitor makes a search or a virtual page is generated. An example of a search RSS feed: So for this example the RSS URL would look like: After changing this parameter simply copy the full RSS URL into the ‘ADD RSS FEED’ and click ‘ADD’. Please note: Not all RSS feeds will provide relevant content 100% of the time. Also if you have an obscure set of keywords you may find that certain feeds may have no related content what so ever, therefore if your search term is obscure it is best to choose a popular RSS feed such as youtube, google, or yahoo. Note to choose feeds and position feeds you must use the page creator. This can't be done from the settings or wizard. To display more than one RSS feed on a one page, use the page creator and add additional RSS feed modules. |
