How to collect footprints for specific engine?

Sickseofan

I need to collect footprints for custom engines what the best possible ways to do it.

What tools should I use?

Update: I used gsa footprint studio and that was not much of help. I was not able to get specific footprints to that engine.

Sven

options->advanced->site lists->import->search engines->Search for URLs->...

On that dialog you can add footprints to the keywordss by category/engine.

Try to look for fragments of text on some of the default pages of a platform - for example, the home page, signup/login page, contact page, terms/about page.

Perform a search for those fragments enclosed in quotes on Google - if you get more than 100 results it should be something you can improve, lower than that it's probably not worth it.

Find additional fragments of text that appear on pages from the same platform and add them to the fragment you found before. Eg. "homepage fragment" "fragment from most platform pages". Mix and match them and see what different results the searches bring.
