Is SER using a click handler?

Trevor_Bandura

Because of the high CPU usage SER is using, right now running at 4 thread and 99% CPU, I decided to look in to a few things. I took a look at the remaining target URL's SER has for my 5 projects, and all the remaining targets are formated like so:

ccs.infospace.com/ClickHandler.ashx?du=The Target URL Here

I don't think I have ever seen this before.

I think such urls come from the Excite search engines

Is that where they came from?

What would be the easiest way for me to clean all those URL's now and just extract the target URL's from them?

Are you having high CPU usage also with SER?

I dont think the click handler will give any problems to SER tbh, but to just extract the urls you'll need to tweak the se.dat file I think, adding something like:

must_have=http://ccs.infospace.com/ClickHandler.ashx?du=

to each of the engines that are providing these links. This is off the top of my head, YMMV

I figured out how to do it in Excell with the text to column feature.

Well i'm not sure if this is a coincidence but, after deleting all the URL's from the left target and replacing them with my fixed URL's, SER is running much better now.

next version improves things.
