# Caching
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/caching/
Type: page
Published: 2015-01-05
Updated: 2020-05-25
Summary: SeoTools allows caching of web pages which greatly increases speed when collecting information from the same source.
A lot of functions in SeoTools retrieves information from a webpage (or other sources from the internet) that are marked as *cached*. This mean that, during a session, SeoTools will only try to fetch a page once and all functions that are *cached* can reuse the fetched page.
For example lets say you want to get both H1 and H2 from a page. You use `=HtmlH1("https://mypage.se")` and then `=HtmlH2("https://mypage.se")`. When SeoTools fetches the page to get the H1 the cache is empty so https://mypage.se is fetched. But when we get the H2 we have https://mypage.se in cache and SeoTools uses what stored in memory instead.
___
## Clear Cache
You can empty the cache by selecting *About* in the SeoTools tab and click on *Clear Cache*.
You can also use the function [=SeoToolsClearCache()](/seotoolsclearcache/) to quickly clear the cache.
Clear all pages from https://seotoolsforexcel.com/ (use '*' as wildcard):
=SeoToolsClearCache("https://seotoolsforexcel.com/*")
From VBA:
Application.Run("SeoToolsClearCache","https://seotoolsforexcel.com/*")
___
## List Cache
The function [=SeoToolsListCache()](/seotoolslistcache/) returns a list of all cached URLs. Wrap it in the [=Dump()](/dump/) function to return the entire list. Works the same with optional wildcard argument for URL:
=Dump(SeoToolsListCache("https://seotoolsforexcel.com/*"))

# CheckBacklink
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/checkbacklink/
Type: page
Published: 2015-01-05
Updated: 2019-05-27
Summary: Excel formula to check that a backlink is present on a web page with the correct link text and that there’s no rel=nofollow.
```
=CheckBacklink(string pageUrl, string expectedLinkHref,
string expectedLinkText (optional),
bool checkNofollow (optional)) : string
```
___
## Purpose
Verifies that a backlink is present on a page with the correct link text and that there’s no `rel=nofollow`.
This is a very useful function when validating that links you have "acquired" are still present.
If the link text is not found, the BackLink Checker will suggest other texts found on the page (see example above).
____
## Example
=CheckBacklink("http://www.linkdirectory.com/subpage",
"https://mypage.com/","An awesome page",TRUE)
In the example we verify that there’s a link to `https://mypage.com` on `http://www.linkdirectory.com/subpage` with the anchorText “An awesome page” and that this link is not rel=nofollow.
`expectedLinkHref` and `expectedLinkText` supports wildcards:
=CheckBacklink("https://seotoolsforexcel.com",
"https://*.uservoice.com","Suggestion*")
In this example we check if there's any link to \*.uservoice.com (where \* can be anything) that's has a link text that starts with "Suggestion" on https://seotoolsforexcel.com.

# Convert Formulas to Values
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/converter/
Type: page
Published: 2020-05-24
Updated: 2020-05-24
Summary: This tool allows you to quickly convert formulas to values. Chose between selected range or entire worksheet.
## Purpose
The Convert tool allows you to quickly convert formulas to values. This is especially effective for converting Seotools Dump() formulas because they sometimes recalculate when performing a "regular" paste as values. The red Dump() formula comments are also removed (see example GIF above).
## Modes
- **Selection** - Converts all formulas within the selected range. The range must be entirely outside pivot tables and tables or inside a table.
- **Active Sheet** - Converts all formulas in the active sheet. No tables or pivot tables can exist on the sheet.

# Dump
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/dump/
Type: page
Published: 2015-01-05
Updated: 2020-05-24
Summary: Excel that takes an array output and dumps it on the spreadsheet.
```
=Dump({object vector}, [transpose=FALSE]) : object
```
___
## Purpose
Macro function that takes an array output of another function and *Dumps* it on the spreadsheet.
Using this function together with an array function such as [XPathOnUrl](/xpathonurl/) is pretty powerful (and will make it work like Google Docs’s ImportXML).
Note: Dump() adds a comment in the formula cell to be able to remember what cells to clean-up when input changes in size.
## Converting to values
We recommend using the [Converter tool](/converter/) to convert dump formulas to values. The Converter also removes the comments automatically.

# DumpTo

Type: page
Published: 2017-03-19
Updated: 2019-05-19
Summary: Dump is a macro function in SeoTools for Excel that takes an array output of another function and dumps it on the spreadsheet
```
=DumpTo({object vector},Destination, [transpose=FALSE]) : object
```
___
## Purpose
Macro function that takes an array output of another function and *Dumps* it on to another part of the spreadsheet. This makes it very convenient because you can have one *"source"* sheet with =DumpTo formulas and another sheets which feeds the data outputs from the source sheet.
## New Range
The array that is being *dumped* to another range is **"free"** from the original formula dependency.
## Editing
Because the original formula is located elsewhere, you are allowed to modify the contents safely without having the original formula recreating the output. This also means you can work with arrays while applying filters, a combination which traditionally leads to Excel crashing.
## Original cell
DumpTo() adds information in the original formula cell to make it easier to maintain an effective structure and remember the references and data sources.
In the example above, we've used the Instagram and Twitter Connector to extract recent posts. The output is dumped to another sheet.

The file is located in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\SeoToolsForExcel\` and can be opened by clicking `Settings` -> `Open SeoTools.config.xml in Notepad` in the SeoTools ribbon.

# SeoTools not enabled in Excel
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/enable-seotools/
Type: page
Published: 2026-09-10
Updated: 2026-09-10
Summary: SeoTools installed but no SeoTools tab in Excel? Turn the add-in back on from Excel Options in a few clicks.
SeoTools installs correctly but no **SeoTools** tab appears on the ribbon. Excel
has the add-in — it just is not switched on.
This happens after Excel closes unexpectedly, after an Office update, or when
another add-in has caused Excel to disable things on startup. Nothing is broken
and nothing needs reinstalling. There are two entries to enable, and you need
both: **SeoToolsMaster** is the Excel add-in, and **SeoTools** is the COM add-in
that draws the ribbon.
## 1. Open the add-in settings
In Excel, go to **File → Options → Add-ins**.
At the bottom of the window, set **Manage** to **Excel Add-ins** and click
**Go...**
The list in the middle tells you where things stand. If SeoTools appears under
**Inactive Application Add-ins** rather than **Active Application Add-ins**,
that is exactly the problem this page fixes.
## 2. Enable SeoToolsMaster
Tick **SeoToolsMaster** and click **OK**.
## 3. Enable SeoTools
Back in **File → Options → Add-ins**, set **Manage** to **COM Add-ins** this
time and click **Go...**
Tick **SeoTools** and click **OK**.
**Load Behavior** should now read *Loaded*. The SeoTools tab appears on the
ribbon straight away — you do not need to restart Excel.
## If SeoTools is not in either list
Then it is not installed for this copy of Excel, rather than disabled. Two
things to check:
* **Excel bitness.** A 64-bit Excel needs the 64-bit add-in. The **Location**
column in the COM Add-ins dialog shows which one is registered — look for
`SeoTools64.xll` or `SeoTools32.xll`. If it is the wrong one, reinstall from
the [download page](/download-sfe/).
* **A second copy of Excel.** If you have more than one Office version
installed, the add-in registers against one of them.
If it still does not appear, work through the
[Troubleshooting guide](/troubleshooting/).

# SeoTools for Excel ended prematurely
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/ended-prematurely/
Type: page
Published: 2020-02-23
Updated: 2020-02-23
This is an install issue which typically occurs when Excel has been installed from Microsoft Store. To solve this, we recommend using a non-installer version of SeoTools which is added manually via the Excel add-ins menu.
- [32-bit version](https://links.seotoolsforexcel.com/latestmanual32)
- [64-bit version](https://links.seotoolsforexcel.com/latestmanual64)
**Manual install instructions:**
1. Download the suitable version from the links above. It should typically be 32-bit version since the Microsoft Store version only supports it.
2. Unpack the contents of the zip-file.
3. In Excel, goto File-> Options-> Add-ins
4. Click "Go..." next to Manage: Excel Add-ins at the bottom
5. Click "Browse" and add the SeoTools32.xll/SeoTools64.xll file from step 1.

Updated: 2019-05-19
Summary: HttpSettings is an XML configuration that you use to control how SeoTools behaves when fetching content.
*HttpSettings* is an XML configuration that you use to control how SeoTools behaves when fetching content.
___
## Purpose
You can use HttpSetting in the following ways:
#### Parameter
For functions like:
* [XPathOnUrl](/xpathonurl/)
* [JsonPathOnUrl](/jsonpathonurl/)
* [RegexpFindOnUrl](/regexpfindonurl/)
#### Global Settings
Change the HttpSettings in to affect all functions in SeoTools from the menu:
#### Spider
Control the crawling in the [Spider](/spider/).
___
## Example
Get all links from a mobile page.
This can easily be done for desktop pages using [XPathOnUrl](/xpathonurl/):
=XPathOnUrl("https://webpage.com","//a","href")
But to get the mobile page we need to change the UserAgent SeoTools uses when fetching the page.
Open the HttpSettings editor: *HTTP* > *HttpSettings* and add *Request header* `User-Agent` to: (iPhone)
Mozilla/5.0(iPhone;U;CPUiPhoneOS4_0likeMacOSX;en-us)AppleWebKit/532.9(KHTML,likeGecko)Version/4.0.5Mobile/8A293Safari/6531.22.7
*Insert* renders the following formula:
=HttpSettings(TRUE;;;;;;;{"User Agent"\"Mozilla/5.0(iPhone;U;
CPUiPhoneOS4_0likeMacOSX;en-us)AppleWebKit/532.9(KHTML,
likeGecko)Version/4.0.5Mobile/8A293Safari/6531.22.7"})
The final result:
Mozilla/5.0(iPhone;
U;CPUiPhoneOS4_0likeMacOSX;en-us)AppleWebKit/532.9(KHTML,
likeGecko)Version/4.0.5Mobile/8A293Safari/6531.22.7
Combine this with [XPathOnUrl](/xpathonurl/) and we get the completed formula:
=Dump(XPathOnUrl("http://webpage.com","//a",
"href",HttpSettings(TRUE;;;;;;;{"User-Agent"\"Mozilla/5.0(iPhone
;U;CPUiPhoneOS4_0likeMacOSX;en-us)AppleWebKit/532.9
(KHTML,likeGecko)Version/4.0.5Mobile/8A293Safari/6531.22.7"})))
___
## Interval between request
This will ensure that requests to the same host will be executed with a delay. The user can change the minimum and maximum delay in ms (milliseconds):
*If same* can be "Host" (default), "Domain" or "Url".
___
## HTTP Timeout
You can configure the timeout period by changing the following value, located in the SeoTools.config.xml file in the installation directory. Standard time is set to 120 seconds (time below is in micro seconds):
120000
___
## Proxies
You can supply SeoTools with one or more proxy to run requests through. If you enter several proxies, SeoTools with distribute requests between them.
___
## Fail on HTTP error
By default, SeoTools doesn't fail on HTTP response codes like 404 and 500. You can set "Fail on HTTP error" in HttpSettings. See [Error management](/error-management/).
___
## Collect cookies
Enables cookies collection between HTTP requests. Button *Clear cache & cookies* in *About* resets the global cookie container.

# Access OpenAI in Excel
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/openai/
Type: page
Published: 2023-06-28
Updated: 2023-06-28
Summary: SeoTools for Excel offers a user-friendly and effective method to use ChatGPT, GPT4 and other AI models inside Excel, both as text extract and as a formula.
## Purpose
Allows you to turn ChatGPT or other GPT models into powerful Excel formulas to generate thousands of answers and automate your work!
___
## ChatGPT / Chat
* **Model** - The language model to use. Various versions of ChatGPT, GPT4 and son on.
* **Message** - The main message to get a response from.
* **Prepend/Append Message** - Added before and after the message. Useful when building formulas and having a static string in combination with cell references.
* **Temperature** - Controls randomness: Lowering results in fewer random completions. As the temperature approaches zero, the model will become deterministic and repetitive.
* **Message** - The maximum number of tokens to generate. The exact limit varies by model. (One token is roughly 4 characters for normal English text.)
* **Stop** - Sequence where the API will stop generating further tokens. The returned text will not contain the stop sequence.
* **TopP** - Controls diversity via nucleus sampling: 0.5 means half of all likelihood-weighted options are considered.
* **Frequency** - How much to penalize new tokens based on their existing frequency in the text so far. Decreases the model's likelihood to repeat the same line verbatim.
* **Presence Penalty** - How much to penalize new tokens based on whether they appear in the text so far. Increases the model's likelihood to talk about new topics.

#### Use of cookies and other technology to collect information
We automatically collect certain types of usage information when you visit our website or use our Service. When you visit the Service, we may send one or more cookies — a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters — to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser and lets us help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the site. A cookie may also convey information to us about how you use the Service (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click, how frequently you access the Service, and other actions you take on the Service), and allow us to track your usage of the Service over time. We may collect log file information from your browser or mobile device each time you access the Service. Log file information may include anonymous information such as your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, information about your mobile device, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with links on the Service, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information. We may employ clear gifs (also known as web beacons) which are used to anonymously track the online usage patterns of our Users. In addition, we may also use clear gifs in HTML-based emails sent to our Users to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. The information allows for more accurate reporting and improvement of the Service. We may also collect analytics data, or use third-party analytics tools such as PostHog, to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent by your browser or mobile device, including the pages you visit, your use of third-party applications, and other information that assists us in analyzing and improving the Service.
When you access our Service by or through a mobile device, we may receive or collect and store, either directly or through third-party analytics tools, a unique identification numbers associated with your device (“Device ID”), mobile carrier, device type and manufacturer, phone number, and, depending on your mobile device settings, your geographical location data, including GPS coordinates (e.g. latitude and/or longitude) or similar information regarding the location of your mobile device.
#### Usage statistics from the SeoTools for Excel add-in
The SeoTools for Excel add-in sends usage statistics to PostHog, whose servers
for this purpose are in the European Union. This is separate from the website
analytics described above, and this section describes it exactly.
**What is sent.** Which worksheet functions, connectors, tools and windows you
use and how often; which connector suites you install or remove; how many
results a connector-directory search returned and how long the search text was;
which columns a spider run used; the SeoTools, Excel, Windows and .NET versions
you run; and whether your licence is a trial, a purchase, expired, or absent.
**How it is identified.** Events are keyed to an identifier derived from your
computer's hardware — the same value the `SeoToolsFingerPrint()` function
returns. It does not contain your name, your e-mail address or your computer's
name, but it is stable for that machine, so it is personal data rather than
anonymous data. Your IP address is recorded by the analytics service.
**What is never sent.** The URLs, domains or pages you fetch or crawl; the
contents of any cell; workbook, worksheet or file names; the arguments you pass
to any function, including XPath, CSS selectors, regular expressions, JSONPath,
SQL and connector parameters; the text you type into the connector directory
search; the names of connectors you have written yourself or loaded from your
own folders, which are counted using a one-way hash instead; your proxy server
or its credentials; your e-mail address, licence key, customer name or computer
name. Error reports are handled separately and are described above.
**How to turn it off.** Open `SeoTools.config.xml` — the Settings menu in the
add-in opens it for you — and set `SendUsageStatistics` to `"false"` on the
first line:
The add-in then sends nothing and opens no connection to the analytics service.
The change takes effect immediately; you do not need to restart Excel. You can
also make the change from a cell with
`=SeoToolsSetConfig("/SeoTools/@SendUsageStatistics","false")`.
#### Sharing Personal Information with Third-Parties
We may share your personal information in the instances described below.
We may also share your personal information with:

# How to start your 14-day trial
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/start-trial/
Type: page
Published: 2026-09-11
Updated: 2026-09-11
Summary: Install SeoTools for Excel, then request your free 14-day trial key from the Register menu. The key arrives by email.
SeoTools for Excel is free to try for 14 days, with every connector and function
available. You request the trial key from inside the add-in, so install it first.
## 1. Install SeoTools for Excel
[Download the installer](/download/) and run it. Close Excel before you start —
the installer adds the **SeoTools** tab to the ribbon, and Excel only picks it up
on the next launch.
## 2. Open the Register window
Start Excel and go to the **SeoTools** tab on the ribbon. Click **Register**.
If there is no SeoTools tab, the add-in is installed but switched off in Excel.
[Here is how to enable it](/enable-seotools/) — it takes a few clicks.
## 3. Request the trial
In the Register window, click **Request a Trial** and enter your email address.
Your key is emailed to you straight away. Paste it into the same window, click
**Register**, and the trial starts.
If the email has not arrived after a minute or two, check your spam folder —
it comes from **info@seotoolsforexcel.com**.
## What you get
The trial is a full licence for **14 days on one machine**. Nothing is disabled
and there is no watermark: if it works during the trial, it works after you buy.
When the trial ends, SeoTools keeps working in the spreadsheets you already
built — the functions stop returning new data until you
[buy a licence](/purchase/).
## Need longer, or a second machine?
One trial per person, per machine. If that genuinely does not fit how you need to
evaluate — you are testing on a desktop and a laptop, or you need longer than a
fortnight to get sign-off — just ask. Email **info@seotoolsforexcel.com** and
tell us briefly what you are evaluating, and we will sort it out.

# Working with arrays in Excel
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/working-with-arrays-in-excel/
Type: page
Published: 2015-03-29
Updated: 2020-05-24
Summary: How to work with arrays in SeoTools for Excel and create powerful functions with XPath, regular expressions, Json, and others.
An array is a series of items that are of the same data type. Many functions in SeoTools like [XPathOnUrl](/xpathonurl/), [JsonPathOnUrl](/jsonpathonurl/) and [RegexpFindOnUrl](/regexpfindonurl/) return arrays.
___
## Methods
To work with arrays in Excel your have some options:
### Traditional
1. Select a range of [10Rows] x [1Columns] cells.
2. Press F2 to go into *formula mode*.
3. Type `=XPathOnUrl("http://www.google.com/search?q=dogs&num=10","//h3[@class='r']/a","href")`
4. Press `CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER` to make it a array formula.
### Dump & DumpTo
There are two macro functions in SeoTools to simplify working with arrays in Excel:
* [Dump](/dump/) - Takes an array and *Dumps* it on the spreadsheet.
* [DumpTo](/dumpto/) - Takes an array and *Dumps* it on to another place in the spreadsheet, making it *free* of its original formula dependency.
## Converting to values
We recommend using the [Converter tool](/converter/) to convert dump formulas to values. The Converter also removes the red comments automatically.

# Working with VBA
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/working-with-vba/
Type: page
Published: 2017-01-21
Updated: 2019-05-27
Summary: How to combine VBA code and SeoTools for Excel functions to get the best of both worlds and turn your sheets into an SEO powertool.
Since SeoTools 6.0, most functions run asynchronously. This offers many advantages, such as greatly reduced calculation time and the ability to do other things in Excel while the calculations are running. However, this also means that traditional VBA scripts, which relies on formula based output, will fail. In order to fix this, we recommend two approaches.
## 1. Disable Async
Temporarily make Async functions run synchronously *(easier to write VBA but slower)*
1. **Open [SeoTools.Config.Xml](/seotools-config-xml/)**
2. **Add the following line according to the picture below:**
`true` 
#### Example Scripts Based on Disable Async
**Extracting Twitter User Bio:**
[VBA_Twitter.xlsm](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nielsbosma/SeoTools-for-Excel-Cookbooks/master/Scraping/VBA_Twitter.xlsm)
Sub GetBio()
Dim row As Integer
Dim col As Integer
row = 2
col = 2
While ActiveSheet.Cells(row, 1) <> ""
ActiveSheet.Cells(row, col) "=XPathOnUrl(A" & row & ", ""//p[@class='ProfileHeaderCard-bio u-dir']"")"
ActiveSheet.Cells(row, col).Copy
ActiveSheet.Cells(row, col).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
row = row + 1
Wend
End Sub
**Extracting an array of all links with CsQueryOnUrl:**
[VBA_Links.xlsm](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nielsbosma/SeoTools-for-Excel-Cookbooks/master/Scraping/VBA_Links.xlsm)
Sub GetLinks()
Dim row As Integer
Dim col As Integer
row = 2
col = 2
Dim range As Variant
Dim addr1, addr2 As String
While Sheets("Example").Cells(row, 1) <> ""
Dim xArray() As Variant
xArray = Evaluate("=TRANSPOSE(CsQueryOnUrl(A" & row & ", ""a"", ""href""))")
addr1 = Sheets("Example").Cells(row, col).Address
addr2 = Sheets("Example").Cells(row, col).Offset(0, UBound(xArray) - 1).Address
Sheets("Example").range(addr1 & ":" & addr2).Value = xArray
row = row + 1
Wend
End Sub
___
## 2. Temp Formula
Second option is to output results with formula and then replace results with values when SeoTools fetching is complete. A simple way to know when the fetching is done is to use a Countif formula and count how many cells contain "#GETTING_DATA". When the number reaches zero, it is safe to copy and paste the content as values.
#### Example Scripts Based on Temp Formula
**Extracting Tweets Metadata:**
[VBA_Tweets.xlsm](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nielsbosma/SeoTools-for-Excel-Cookbooks/master/Scraping/VBA_Tweets.xlsm)
Sub FetchTweets()
Dim RowCount As Long
RowCount = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("B2:B" & RowCount).Formula = "=Dump(Connector(""Twitter.TweetLookup"",A2,""Id,Date,Tweet,Retweets,Likes,UserName,Followers"",TRUE))"
End Sub
Sub Clean()
Columns(2).Copy
Columns(2).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End Sub

# XPathOnUrl
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/xpathonurl/
Type: page
Published: 2015-03-29
Updated: 2020-02-29
Summary: Use XPath to extract strings or arrays from any web page as a formula in Excel with SeoTools for Excel.
```
=XPathOnUrl(
string url,
string xpath,
string attribute,
string xmlHttpSettings,
string mode
) : vector
```
___
## Purpose
Fetches url and returns the (array) result from XPath expression.
You can use XPathOnUrl on any *XML* resource.
___
### Xpath
XPath queries has to be in lower case. So `/HTML/BODY/A` won't work.
___
### Attribute (optional)
The optional `attribute` allows you to retreive the value of an attribute of the specified node. Xpath `/foo/@bar` returns the inner text of node foo. To get attribute bar you specify:
=XPathOnUrl(url,"/foo","bar")
____
### XmlHttpSettings (optional)
You can control the HTTP request (such as header and form variables) using the `xmlHttpSettings`. See [HttpSettings](/httpsettings/).
___
### Mode (optional)
The output can be extracted in raw HTML format or "formatted":
=XPathOnUrl(url,"//div[1]",,,"html")
=XPathOnUrl(url,"//div[1]",,,"formatted")
___
### Dump
Fetches the url and returns the (vector) result from xpath expression.
___
### Local files
You can also parse local files using XPathOnUrl using either absolute or relative (to spreadsheet) filepaths:
file:///C:\path\to\file.xml
file:///path\relative\workbook.xml
file:///..\..\path\relative\workbook.xml
See: [DirectoryList](/directorylist/)
___
## Examples
#### Return number of nodes
Retreive the number of links on a page:
=XPathOnUrl("https://seotoolsforexcel.com/","count(//a)")
#### Alternative to Dump
=XPathOnUrl("https://www.google.com/search?
q=dogs","(//h3[@class='r']/a)[1]","href")
This will reference the first node. To get all results in a column, you first create a column (in say column A) with values 1..10 and use the following formula:
=XPathOnUrl("https://www.google.com/search?q=dogs"
,"(//h3[@class='r']/a)["&A1&"]","href")

# SeoTools 10.0 - Google Analytics 4, ChatGPT and more!
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/seotools-10-0/
Type: post
Published: 2023-06-29
Updated: 2023-06-29
Long time since last update. Thank you for being patient with the rebuilding of our most popular connector, Google Analytics. We have a good mix of new features, connectors, and functions in this release.
Dowload the latest version!
## Recalculate
This menu will make it a lot easier to work with connector formulas when recalculations are both time-consuming and costly. In the above example, I've extracted json strings and some cells returned error because I didn't add enough delay between requests. I don't want to recalculate everything because each request costs money and it is not practical to manually update each cell. The recalculate method solves this with a single click.
## New Connectors
- [OpenAI](/openai/) - You can find this connector under the new connector category 'AI', located in the SeoTools ribbon. Expect a separate post about the power of ChatGPT/GPT4 with Excel formulas 🔥
- [Facebook Ads Library](/facebook-ads-library/)
- [TextRazor](/textrazor/)
- [TikTok](/tiktok/)
- [Abstract](/abstract/)
- [ScrapingBee](/scrapingbee/)
- [SharedCount](/sharedcount/)
- [Stock News](/stock-news/)
## Updated Connectors
- [Google Analytics](/google-analytics/) - Rebuilt to Google Analytics 4.
- [Mailchimp](/mailchimp/) - New view: Member activity.
- [Yahoo Finance](/yahoo-finance/) - New views: Major Holders Breakdown, Key Executives.
- [Spotify](/spotify/) - New fields about album and track releases.
- [DataForSEO](/dataforseo/) - New view: Backlinks. Google SERP uses **LIVE** view instead of cached results.
- [RSS Parser](/rssparser/) - Added support for podcast feeds.
- [Search Console](/google-search-console/) - New view: Inspect: View the indexed, or indexable, status of the provided URL.
- [Instagram Insights](/instagram-insights/) - New views: Insights Total, Insights Product Type.
- [Sistrix](/sistrix/) - New view: Keyword SEO Traffic
- [Gmail](/gmail/) - Option to extract email message bodies.
## New Controls
The advanced Google Analytics controls have been made available for all connectors which means these will be added to existing connectors in the near future. Expect better multi-selection, sorting and filtering with search support.
## New Functions
- [IsValidJson](/isvalidjson/) (useful when working with json responses from OpenAI connectors)
- [IsValidXml](/isvalidxml/)
Dowload the latest version!
Please provide feedback and ideas for future releases. Have a great summer!

# Introducing FileStar

Published: 2019-02-12
Updated: 2019-05-21
Summary: At Bosma Interactive (the company behind SeoTools) we're productivity nerds, always thinking about how we can work more efficiently with our daily tasks.
At Bosma Interactive (the company behind SeoTools) we're productivity nerds, always thinking about how we can work more efficiently with our daily tasks. Simply how to get more shit done.
A year ago we started to think about how little innovation there has been in the way we work with files since modern desktop computing was introduced.
For each “thing” you want to do with a file you need a separate application and you need to know how to use it. (* And no, web/mobile apps don’t make things much better. And yes, people still have files.)
Let's say you want to convert 5 .PDF files to .DOC files how do you do this?
Today, with modern search engines, we are used to just search for the things we want. Why can't we just select a file on our desktop and just type what we want to?
So... one year later, we give you FileStar! We intend to fulfil the following promise: **"Do anything with any file on any platform"**. We’re in the business of saving our users time and money.
Central to FileStar is "Skills". A skill can transform a file one form into another. Examples are file conversions, image transformations, etc. We have now in our first release over 21.000 skills and we're releasing more every week.
As a start, we have created a Windows client but will continue with other platforms as we go.
As SeoTools for Excel users, we hope to have earned your trust enough to give FileStar a try. FileStar can be used for free for personal usage.
Give FileStar a try and we promise you will save time by automating common tasks in your daily life.
Try FileStar!

# An Innovative Way to Track Page Development
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/an-innovative-way-to-track-page-development/
Type: post
Published: 2017-03-30
Updated: 2019-05-20
Summary: Tracking the progress of web pages and its content won't raise any eyebrows. But what about going backwards? SeoTools offers a unique way.
Tracking the progress of web pages and its content won't raise any eyebrows. There are countless tools available and you can't escape the fact that it takes *time* for the data to accumulate into a decent sample size. When you finally realize the correct course of action, the opportunity might have passed.
But what about going **backwards**? We've come up with a clever and simple solution to collect web page content and compare over time.
Take the official [NASA website](https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/) which tracks the number of identified exoplanets:
Lets combine SeoTools [XPath](/xpathonurl/) and the new [Internet Archive Connector](/wayback-machine/) and put them to the test:
## Purpose
This exoplanet example shows the effectiveness of the method. It is applicable on all websites registered in the Internet Archive database, which means all kinds of **practical** marketing opportunities as well. For example,
- *How has your competitor product portfolio developed over time?*
- *What titles have been used over time?*
- *What images have been used over time?*
- *How many interactions, such as shares or comments, have been registered over time?*
## How To
The Internet Archive Connector is located under **SEO** in the SeoTools menu ribbon:
1. Enter your desired website and the year to collect historical "snapshot" images from. If a shorter period is desired, we've also included a filter by month.
2. Next, click on **Insert** and SeoTools will list all URLs available for the desired time span.
3. Inspect one of the collected URLs for a proper scraping syntax which extracts the content you are interested in. SeoTools supports many different options, for example [XPath](/xpathonurl/), [Json](/jsonpathonurl/), [Regex](/regexpfindonurl/), and [CsQuery](/csquery/). The good old HTML functions works as well, for example [HTMLTitle](/htmltitle/) and [LinkCount](/linkcount/).
## Feedback
We would love to get some feedback and hear about some cool ways the SeoTools community tracks historical data. The Internet Archive Connector is available in SeoTools for Excel 7. Grab the latest version below and sign up for a two week trial after installation.

## About Pro
We have decided to discontinue the freemium model of SeoTools from this version and forward. It's simply not working out with all the development, maintenance, and support that we're putting into this product. So from now on all users will need to get what we previously called a "Pro" license key. We hope that you understand.
14-day [trial keys](/start-trial/) can be requested directly in the Register menu.
The only free features in SeoTools are now [Majestic](/majestic/) and [AccuApi](/accuapi/) (read more about this below). These companies have sponsored us to integrate their APIs in SeoTools and can be used without a license key.
## AccuApi
We've partnered with AccuRanker to integrate their ad-hoc rank tracking API - AccuApi. Using this Connector you can quickly explore the ranks of a set of keywords within seconds.
Check out AccuApi!

# SeoTools v6: Faster, more stable and no ads!
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/seotools-v6/
Type: post
Published: 2016-11-13
Updated: 2019-05-19
Summary: We've been working on SeoTools 6.0 for quite a while and there's a lot of new updates. This is probably the largest update we've ever released!
## TL;DR
We've been working on SeoTools 6.0 for quite a while and there's a lot of new updates. This is probably the largest update we've ever released!
Dowload the latest version of SeoTools!
## Async and Caching
**MAJOR UPDATE:** Most functions incl. Connectors are now asynchronous meaning that they can be stopped and can run in parallell (if the external data source permits it) and won't make it seem like Excel freezes. This translates into a HUGE boost in user experience because of multi-tasking capabilities and significantly faster calculations!
For this we also built a new cache. So hopefully no more OutOfMemoryExceptions when working with loads of data. The cache offloads onto disc and is deleted when you close Excel.
## Loads of new Connectors
I have a new partner named Victor Sandberg ([@diskborste](https://community.seotoolsforexcel.com/users/diskborste/activity) in the Community) that's going to be focusing on building Connectors, and he's already been busy working with this release:
**New Connectors:**
## WhoIs Settings
We have created loads of TLD WhoIs settings.
We now parse the following TLDs: ac, ae, ag, am, as, at, au, be, bg, biz, br, by, ca, cc, ch, cl, cn, co, com, coop, cr, cx, cz, de, dk, ee, fi, fm, fr, gov, hk, hr, hu, id, ie, il, in, info, ir, is, it, jp, kr, kz, li, lt, lu, lv, ma, mk, mn, mo, ms, mx, na, name, net, nl, no, nu, nz, org, pe, pl, pt, pw, ro, ru, sa, se, sg, si, sk, st, tc, th, tk, tn,to, tr, tv, tw, ua, uk, us, uy, uz, ve, ws.
## Cookbook
We've gotten some feedback that we should provide more templates and examples on how to use SeoTools. To start this, we've moved the cookbook folder to Github. Please submit your templates! The best ones will be featured in a special gallery section on the SeoTools webpage.
## Pro
WhoIs and HTTP functions now require a Pro subscription. In return **I've removed the much disliked startup window**. Please support us by purchasing a subscription.
Get a [14-day trial](/start-trial/) or [Go pro](/purchase/) today! :)
## Other Fixes
New String generator tool. Located under Strings. Very useful if you're a Razor ninja.
Fixed issues with wizard configs.
Updated the Adwords API.

# 15 Excel tips every SEO professional must know
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/15-excel-tips-every-seo-professional-must-know/
Type: post
Published: 2016-10-15
Updated: 2019-05-20
Summary: In this article, I’ll teach you the tips you need to know to improve your Excel skills in a matter of minutes.
Whether its basketball, pubic speaking, or SEO, mastering the fundamentals is key. Sure, you may be able to alter a data set manually or copy a strange looking formula, but if you want to be prepared for the challenges of tomorrow, this article will get you a long way.
**Mikkel Sciegienny** at [Spreadsheeto](https://spreadsheeto.com/) has been involved with SEO for five years and in this blog post he will share 15 important tips for mastering Excel.
## 15 Excel tips every SEO professional must know
>Excel is one of the most widely used software programs in the world, and is used in niches you can’t even think of. But in many niches and industries, there are work processes that scream for Excel.
One of the common factors for these work processes is that they include a lot of data that sometimes needs to be cleaned up before it makes sense. Other common factors are keeping track of stuff like emails, replies and links. Lots of links.
Luckily there’s a tool that’s so powerful and flexible that it covers all this – can you guess what software program I am talking about?
As an SEO professional, Excel skills can ease up your work and increase your productivity – which will make you an even better SEO.
In this article, I’ll teach you the tips you need to know to improve your Excel skills in a matter of minutes. This article and the examples are written for Excel 2016 on a machine running Windows, but almost all of the tips are universal for Excel 2007/10/13/16 for Windows, although the layout may look a bit different on your version.
We start off with the easy tips and progress to the more advanced ones.
## Tip 1 - Freeze panes:
> Don’t lose track of your headers
When working with tons of rows and columns, freezing the column headers will make it a lot easier to keep track of the data you’re looking for.
Scroll to the top of your spreadsheet. Go to the ‘View’ tab on the ribbon (that’s the fancy word for the menu with all the buttons by the way). Then click the ‘Freeze Panes’ button.
Now click the ‘Freeze Top Row’ option.
When you’ve done this, try to scroll down your sheet. You now see that the headers in row 1 follow along as you scroll down the spreadsheet.
This means that from now on, you never have to scroll to the top of your sheet to see what columns you’ve selected when you’re in in a row below the fold. And when working with SEO, you will encounter this issue sooner or later.
### Tip 2 - Wrap Text:
> Inserting long texts nicely
The content of a cell can be too big to fit in it properly. This is particularly true when dealing with longer strings of texts, e.g. email text for outreaching.
When copied directly into Excel the cell is by default automatically fitted to the text. That means it can ruin the design of your spreadsheet because it gets absurdly large.
When this happens, left-click the name of the column (A, B, C, D…) right above row 1 that holds the cells with a lot of text.
Then click the ‘Wrap Text’ button on the ‘Home’ tab of the ribbon so it’s deselected.
Now your text looks like it’s “hidden” behind the other cells. This is a good thing since it now doesn’t break the layout of the sheet by oversizing the rows.
### Tip 3 – Paste as values:
> When you just need the formula results
Copying and pasting are some of the most used features of a computer – and of course also in Excel. Pasting values only, when copying cells that include formulas, makes it possible for you to easily relocate values in your spreadsheet.
After you’ve copied one or more cells then, when pasting the cells, right click the desired destination of cells and look to the ‘Paste Options:’.
The second option here is called ‘Values (V)’ (which you’ll see when you hover your mouse over it). Click it, and the copied cells are now inserted as values instead of whatever they were before.
This is especially useful when you’ve done some calculations on rankings, CTR or conversion rates and need to relocate the results of your formulas.
### Tip 4 – Filters:
> Cut out the data you don’t need
Filters are one of the most loved features of Excel, both for its ease of use and its ability to get what you want from your massive datasheet in no time. As an SEO expert filtering in Excel is a must-know.
First, select any cell within your data.
Then click the ‘Data’ tab on the ribbon and click the ‘Filter’ button.
Now you’ll see a drop-down button next to each of your column headers.
When you click these buttons, you have options to filter out which rows you want and don’t want to see. When unselecting one, or more, of the options and clicking ‘OK’, the rows that contain that specific data in that specific column will not be shown.
This is also applicable the other way around. E.g., if you only want to see the rows with links that have been approved, then uncheck all the other checkboxes and click ‘OK’. Then you’ll only see the rows where the ‘Link status’ is “Approved.” The other rows will be hidden.
### Tip 5 – Remove Hyperlinks:
> Convert multiple hyperlinks to regular text in seconds
As a default, Excel recognizes text that starts with *http://* as a hyperlink. That means that Excel automatically gets the blue font color and the underlining and when you click it, it opens in your default browser.
When keeping track of data with a lot of links all these hyperlinks are not very beneficial to you. It’s much easier if they were just regular text.
You can convert all your hyperlinks to text at once by pressing the shortcut ‘Ctrl + A’ twice to select all the cells in your sheet.
Then right-click any cell and click ‘Remove hyperlinks’.
### Tip 6 – Find and Replace:
> The quickest way to clean up data
The ‘Find and Replace’ feature is one of Excel’s most underused features. Most Excel users don’t imagine using it to clean up parts of a lot of text strings at once.
A great example of this is a situation where you want to remove the “www.” part of all your URLs.
Select the column that holds your URLs by left-clicking the column name right above row 1. Then use the shortcut ‘Ctrl + H’ to bring up the ‘Find and Replace’ dialog box.
In the ‘Find what:’ field type in “www.” and do nothing else. Then click ‘Replace All’.
Now you’ve removed all instances of “www.” From all URLs in that column. Rinse and repeat as needed.
This is by far the fastest way of cleaning up URLs in Excel.
### Tip 7 - Import a .CSV file:
> Using your Excel skills on your exports.
Many SEO-tools like AHREFS, Google Analytics, SEMrush, etc., makes it possible for you to export your findings to a .CSV file. When you open that file in Excel, you can do all the manipulation with it you want. However, opening a .CSV-file is not as straightforward as it sounds. There’s a few things you need to be aware of.
Open a blank Excel sheet, then click the ‘Data’ tab on the ribbon and click the button that says ‘From Text’.
Find your .CSV-file in the browser window and hit ‘Open’.
Now a series of dialog boxes called ‘Text Import Wizard’ appears. This wizard will take you through 3 steps where 2 of them are unnecessary.
If you’ve exported as a .CSV from the above-mentioned programs, then your .CSV- file is very standard and you can just click the ‘Next >’ button in step 1 of 3.
In step 2 of 3, you simply choose the delimiter. It’s not always comma separated. Sometimes the data is separated by a semi-colon or just a tab. If you’re unsure about which delimiter to use, then look at the ‘Example’ window and try to click through them all to see which one that fits the data.
You can skip the entire step 3 of the ‘Text Import Wizard’ and just go ahead and click the ‘Finish’-button.
You may or may not get a new dialog box that asks you where you want to put this freshly imported data. I usually just click ‘OK’ as it’s defaulted to choose cell A1.
And there you have it, as CSV-file imported, correctly, in the matter of seconds.
### Tip 8 – Conditional formatting:
> Identifying duplicates
Conditional formatting is used for coloring your sheet if certain conditions are met. When you type in a new entry in your outreach sheet, you instantly need to know if you’ve already sent an email regarding this specific URL before.
Select the entire column with your URLs by clicking on the name of the column (A, B, C, D…) just above row 1.
Then click the ‘Conditional Formatting’ button on the ‘Home’ tab of the ribbon. Hover your mouse over ‘Highlight Cells Rules’ and chose ‘Duplicate Values…’
Click ‘OK’ to the next dialog box (or chose custom formatting by clicking the dropdown and selecting ‘Custom Format…’) and then watch out for those colored duplicate values in your column.
### Tip 9 – Remove Duplicates:
> Continuing where we left off.
If you don’t need to look through your duplicates by eye, then Excel can do the job of removing them for you.
Select any cell in your data, then go to the ‘Data’ tab of the ribbon and click ‘Remove Duplicates’.
In the dialog box that appears, you can choose how strict you want Excel to be when removing the duplicates. If you leave all the checkboxes checked then Excel will only remove the entries that match another entry in all cells in the row (within the columns of the data).
If you click ‘Unselect all’ and in this example check the ‘Specific URL’ checkbox, then Excel will only remove entries where the column with URLs match another entry’s URL.
Note: If Excel finds a duplicate it will remove the entire row, no matter how many checkboxes you’ve checked.
### Tip 10 – Data validation:
> Use a dropdown to control what’s in the cells
Analysis of your work gets a lot easier if you control the variety of cell input. Summing up on ‘Link status’ is time-consuming if you’ve built an outreach sheet of more than a thousand entries and haven’t had a systematic approach to what you enter in the cells.
To avoid dealing with permutations of words like “Approved”, “Declined” and “Pending”, use a drop-down menu to control the input.
Create a new sheet by using the shortcut ‘Shift + F11’. In the new sheet write all the things that you want to be able to choose from in the drop-down menu.
Go back to your original sheet and select all the cells you want to have in the drop-down menu. Then go to the ‘Data’ tab in the ribbon and click the ‘Data Validation’ button.
In the dialog box be sure to be in the ‘Settings’ tab. Then under ‘Allow:’ choose ‘List’ and then choose the source for your drop-down menu. The source data is the cells that holds the drop-down menu options in the new sheet you just created earlier.
Click ‘OK’ and then you’re good to go with a drop-down menu that keeps your data simple and ready for analysis.
### Tip 11 – VLOOKUP:
> Find a cell somewhere else and bring back
corresponding data
You might’ve heard about the famous ‘VLOOKUP-function’ before. As far as usability goes, ‘VLOOKUP’ has definitely earned the hype.
Imagine having two sheets of data. One to keep track of outreach and one where you’ve imported a massive export from your keyword miner that, among much else, holds the Domain Authority (DA) for 10,000 interesting URLs.
Now you want to get that DA from that sheet to your outreach sheet on all entries.
‘VLOOKUP’ basically consists of four things:
1) The value you’re looking for.
2) The area where you are looking.
3) The data you want to bring from the area you are looking.
4) A choice of how precise in your search you want to be.
These four things are a simple explanation of what is normally called the ‘syntax’ of an Excel function. And this is how you use the function:
This is the quick way of learning and using ‘VLOOKUP’. There’s so much more to VLOOKUP, and I highly suggest you get yourself familiar with this function.
### Tip 12 – COUNTIF:
> Count cells if they meet certain criteria
Summarizing data is necessary for you to evaluate your work. In SEO, that usually comes to show in form of counting stuff. E.g. counting how many of your outreach emails that resulted in a link.
The ‘COUNIF-function’ is very simple to use. It consists of:
1) Where you want to count.
2) What you want to count.
You can exchange the column where you want to count and the criteria to match your data. Remember to put text criteria in double quotes. If you’re counting specific values and not text, just type in the number.
‘COUNTIF’ is a deeper subject than what I’ve just showed you here. Check out this video by ExcelIsFun that explains 21 different examples of ‘COUNTIF’-usage.
### Tip 13 – IFERROR:
> Cleanup formulas that don’t give you answers
When a formula can’t give you a result it spits out an error (usually looks like #N/A). There can be multiple causes for a formula to return an error but usually, it’s because a ‘VLOOKUP’ can’t find the value you’re looking for or a ‘COUNTIF’ can’t find any cells with the criteria you’ve given.
Sometimes you will look at these errors and fix them – but sometimes they require no fix. If you keep the formulas with errors, you have to look at those ugly cells with #N/A. And they don’t look pretty.
You can remove the errors from sight by using the ‘IFERROR-function’. It’s very easy to use and consists of 2 things:
1) The formula you are using.
2) What you want instead of a potential error.
Here’s how you use ‘IFERROR’:
Remember that the ‘IFERROR-function’ can be used before any other function or combination of functions. You can even put another function instead of the above “Can’t find” if you need a calculation or lookup to be made if the first function doesn’t give a result.
### Tip 14 – Charts:
> Visualizing your SEO work
Visual overviews are always easier to read and tells you what you want to know faster than just numbers. You can feed the results from your ‘COUNTIF-functions’ into a chart to get a nice looking overview of what’s going on in your spreadsheet.
If you’ve counted your outreach progress using the ‘COUNTIF-function’ let’s throw that data into a pie chart.
Select your headers, categories and counts like the example below. Then click the ‘Insert’ tab of the ribbon and click the button that looks like a pie chart. Choose your desired design.
You can modify the chart to your needs by using the two new tabs that appear when you select the chart. From the ‘Design’ tab, you can easily add some data labels if you think the chart’s not precise enough.
### Tip 15 – VBA:
> Macro to make URLs active.
When you have lots of inactive URLs in your spreadsheet (maybe they’re inactive because you removed the hyperlinks with help from Tip 5) there’s only one way to make them all active at once: VBA.
The programming language Visual Basic for Applications offers a solution to any Excel challenge, but it requires some skill to use. In this case, you don’t have to worry - I’ve done all the work for you.
1) Use the shortcut Alt + F11 to open up the VBA-editor.
2) Click ‘Insert’ and then click ‘Module’.
3) Copy the code from below and insert it here.
4) Close the VBA-editor (click the cross in the upper right corner of the window).
**Here’s the code:**
Sub Activatelinks()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
cell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=cell, Address:=cell.Text
Next cell
End Sub
Now select the cells with the URLs you want to activate and go to the ‘View’ tab of the ribbon. From here you click the ‘Macros’ button.
Select the ‘Activatelinks’ macro and hit ‘Run’.
Try to click the hyperlinks that are now underlined and colored blue as a hyperlink usually is.

# Pull social metrics for multiple accounts

Type: post
Published: 2016-01-10
Updated: 2019-05-19
Summary: Learn the basics of Seotools together with Excel to work with large data sets and pull social metrics for multiple accounts.
We often get this question:
> How can I pull social metrics for multiple twitter/facebook/linkedin accounts at a time? Instead of having to input the url manually for each pull.
This is actually quite easy:
In the wizard of a connector or integration generate the query as a **formula** and then replace the literal url with a reference to the first cell in the column of urls. Then use Excel's [autofill feature](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Fill-data-automatically-in-worksheet-cells-74e31bdd-d993-45da-aa82-35a236c5b5db) to populate the rest of the cells.

# Securely compare customer lists from two parties

Type: post
Published: 2015-11-01
Updated: 2019-05-19
Summary: Use the MdFive function in SeoTools for Excel to process lists and compare items.
Say you're negotiating a deal with an external party and to be able to move forward you need to know *how many customers do we have in common*? Neither party is at this stage interested in sending their list of customers.
My solution to this problem is by using the new [MdFive](/mdfive/) function in [SeoTools 5.0](/new-seotools-5-0-with-connectors/).
>MD5 which stands for Message Digest algorithm 5 is a widely used cryptographic hash function that was invented by Ronald Rivest in 1991. The idea behind this algorithm is to take up a random data (text or binary) as an input and generate a fixed size “hash value” as the output. The input data can be of any size or length, but the output “hash value” size is always fixed.
(from https://www.gohacking.com/what-is-md5-hash/)
This is how to do it:
1. Take all your user's emails (or what every sensitive data you want to compare) and put them in one column in Excel.
2. Apply `=MdFive()` on each row (enter the formula in the first row and then double-click on the black square in the lower right corner of the cell to populate all the remaining rows).
3. Select all the generated Md5 values and copy. Press `CTRL+ALT+V` and *Paste as Values*.
4. Delete the column with the emails.
5. The other party also does step 1-4 and you can now exchange files.
6. Now we need to compare what Md5 values exists on both lists. There are several ways to do this, here's a suggestion:

# SqlConnectors - Connect to your data in Excel
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/sqlconnectors/
Type: post
Published: 2015-10-26
Updated: 2019-05-19
Summary: SeoTools lets you access data from your SQL database in a structured, easy to read way right in Excel. Find out how in this article.
Let me tell you about the best secret I sneaked into SeoTools 5.0! This is a life-saving feature that I use almost every day at my day job as a growth hacker.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to access data from your database in a structured and user-friendly way directly in Excel?
Say for example that you have a list of user ids (maybe from a custom dimension in GA?) and you need to quickly figure out the name of each user? What if you could create a [SeoTools Connector](/connectors/) based on a SQL-query that produces an user-friendly UI where you can input the id and get the name as a result through either a formula or a wizard.
Enter SqlConnectors.
SqlConnectors is something you can create yourself if you know how to query your database using SQL.
To demonstrate this I've created a SqlConnector using the classic [Northwind](https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=northwinddatabase) database example.
[View the source code for the Northwind example on GitHub.](https://github.com/nielsbosma/SeoTools-for-Excel-Connectors/blob/master/Northwind.xml)
This is what your get when `Northwind.xml` is added to the `/connectors/` directory:
## How to make your own SqlConnectors
Connectors are written using XML. One or more connectors are collected in a connectors suite. A Suite must have an `Id` and a `Title`. Suites with SqlConnectors also has to have a setting with the `Id="ConnectionString"`.
...
SqlConnectors have 3 parts: Parameters, Sql-template and Columns:
A Connector also must have an `Id` and a `Title`.
The Sql-template is written in the powerful [Razor template language ](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/web-pages/overview/getting-started/introducing-razor-syntax-c). When compiling the Sql-query, the `@Model` is populated with the values of the connector-parameters and suite-settings set by the user.
See other open-sourced [Connectors](https://github.com/nielsbosma/SeoTools-for-Excel-Connectors) for more examples on how to specify parameters and work with Razor templating.
**I hope you also think this is as exciting as I do. By building SqlConnectors I can automate and simplify my data-juggling extensively. Let me know what you think in the comments below!**
## Limitations
Only been tested with MS-SQL.

Updated: 2019-05-20
Summary: Introducing SeoTools 5.0 with Connectors, new service integrations and a plethora of usability improvements.
Download SeoTools 5.0
## Connectors
I've rebuilt Scrapers entirely. They are now called [Connectors](/connectors/) and can return table values and do all sorts of cool things.
Connectors are written using my XML format and makes it super easy to integrate most HTTP APIs with Excel.
The ones that I've written has been open-sourced on [GitHub](https://github.com/nielsbosma/SeoTools-for-Excel-Connectors) and I really hope some of you will be inspired and help integrate more APIs. I'll follow up with a post on how to write connectors and some documentation.
## New integrations
* [Moz](/moz/)
* [Bitly](/bitly/)
* [MailChimp](/mailchimp/)
* [Microsoft translate](/microsoft-translator/)
* [Twitter](/twitter/)
* [uClassify](/uclassify/)
* [WhoisApi](/whoisapi/)
* [YouTube](/youtube/)
(All implemented in the new connectors format)
## Pro changes
I spend quite a lot of time on SeoTools and to make this a sustainable business I've decided that I need to add more value to the Pro version. Therefore I've decided to make the following changes:
* To use the [Google Analytics](/google-analytics/) integration you now need Pro.
* All connectors requires Pro (this includes the previous Onpage, Offpage and Social.
**I'm also in a few days going to raise the price from €49 to €69 so make sure you upgrade in time.**
Go Pro today!
## Fixes
* New [Razor()](/razor/) function for string templating.
* New [MdFive()](/mdfive/) for Md5 one-way encryption.
* Fixed issues with [HtmlTitle()](/htmltitle/).
* [SEMrush](/semrush/):
* Added Display date parameter to "Domain overview", "Keyword overview" and "Organic results".
* If you select a database in the view "Keyword overview" the SEMrush command "phrase_this" would be used instead of "phrase_all" (consumes less API credits).
* [Google Analytics](/google-analytics/):
* Added [sampling level](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/reference#samplingLevel).
* Fixed issue with accounts with a lot of items.
* Updated MCF dimensions and metrics.
* Fixed authentication issues.
* Option to specify encoding in [UrlDecode](/urldecode/) and [UrlEncode](/urlencode/): `=UrlDecode(UrlEncode("åäö";"utf-8");"utf-8") => "åäö"`
* Tool for bulk adding proxies in Http settings.
* [Google Adwords](/google-adwords/):
* Option to retrieve search volumes from Google search only.
* Making sure authentication is remembered between sessions if StayAuthenticated is set to true.
* [Majestic](/majestic/): Fixed problem with "Index data" when sending more than 100 urls in one batch.

# Find the country where a site is hosted in Excel

Type: post
Published: 2015-05-21
Updated: 2019-05-19
Summary: How to combine several useful functions in SeoTools for Excel and learn how to find the countries where sites are hosted.
Using the [ip-api.com JSON API](https://ip-api.com/docs/api:json) and [ResolveIp](/resolveip/) we can get the country where a site is hosted:
The following API request http://ip-api.com/json/91.189.43.102 returns this JSON response:
So we use [ResolveIp](/resolveip/) to get the ip of the site and [JsonPathOnUrl](/jsonpathonurl/) on to parse the result:
=JsonPathOnUrl("http://ip-api.com/json/"&ResolveIp("http://nielsbosma.se");"$.country";HttpSettings(TRUE;;;"240|240|Host"))
Note the usage limits from their documentation:
>Our system will automatically ban any IP addresses doing over 250 requests per minute.
You are free to use ip-api.com for non-commercial use. We do not allow commercial use without prior approval.
Note that I added a interval between request of 240ms between requests using [HttpSettings](/httpsettings/) to make sure my IP won't get blocked.

# Mobile webpages and SeoTools
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/mobile-webpages-and-seotools/
Type: post
Published: 2015-04-30
Updated: 2019-05-19
Summary: How to adjust the SeoTools for Excel settings to access content from mobile webpages.
There's a a few [different techniques for mobile web content adaption](http://mobiforge.com/design-development/mobile-web-content-adaptation-techniques). Depending on the technique used by the page you're analyzing you way need to set a [user agent](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agent) so the right page is fetched.
If the page in question is build using [responsive design](http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsiv_webbdesign) you don't need to do anything. But if the pages servers different content based on the user agent you need to change the SeoTools http settings to be able to analyze these pages.
Change the request "User-Agent" header. For example to fake an iPhone 5 you can enter:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 5_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/534.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Mobile/9A334 Safari/7534.48.3
Now when you run funktions like [HtmlTitle](/htmltitle/) and [HtmlMetaDescription](/htmlmetadescription/) SeoTools will fake being an iPhone and get the proper results.
The [Spider](/spider/) will inherit the global http settings but can also be customized for an individual report.

# Bulk check Google Mobile Test in Excel
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/bulk-check-google-mobile-friendly-in-excel/
Type: post
Published: 2015-04-24
Updated: 2019-05-19
Summary: In this post I'll show you how we can create a SeoTools Scraper that check this for us in Excel.
So with [mobilegeddon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobilegeddon) raging around us we need a good way to bulk check all of our websites for mobile friendliness. A perfect job for Excel and SeoTools!
Google has released a tool that help test whether a website is considered "mobile friendly" or not. But only for one website at a time. What if we need to bulk check lots of websites to spot the ones we need to fix?
In this post I'll show you how we can create a SeoTools Scraper that check this for us in Excel.
The Google tool internally uses a [JSON](https://json.org/) [REST](https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer) API whose result can look like this:
We're after value with the [JSON path](https://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/) `$.ruleGroups.USABILITY.pass`.
To build a new scraper, create a file `myscrapers.xml` under `/scrapers/` in your SeoTools installation path with the following contents:
false
I've added 1000ms interval between requests to not piss Google off (so they won't block my IP).
If you have Excel open you need to restart Excel. We now have a new scraper:
Since the Google API is quite slow you will need need to wait a while for the results. Excel might seem to freeze, but that's just SeoTools working in the background.
*Update: As of SeoTools 4.3.5 the scraper created in this post is included in the release.*
**Do you have other ideas for scrapers? Let me know in the comments!**

Since it took me two years to release the last version of SeoTools, I wanted to release the next one faster. **This one is pumped with new features!**
## TL;DR
This release is awesome!
[Download latest version of SeoTools without delay!](https://links.seotoolsforexcel.com/latest/)
## Scrapers
In 4.3, I’m introducing a concept that I call *Scrapers*. Scrapers are written using a new XML format that allows you to easily extend SeoTools. A scrapers can given a set of parameters, fetch a web page, locate a particular part of the page and then parse a return value.
[Video overview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yhMqcw7N98&feature=youtu.be)
Scrapers can be used in formulas and in the SeoTools Spider.
The following scrapers are currently shipped with SeoTools 4.3:
* Alexa.LinkCount
* Alexa.Popularity
* Alexa.Reach
* Bing.Index
* Delicious.Shares
* Dmoz.Entries
* Facebook.Likes
* Google.AnalyticsId
* Google.Index
* Google.Links
* Google.PlusOne
* Google.Results
* Klout
* LinkedIn.Shares
* Email
* Pintered.Pinned
* Stumbleupon.Likes
* Stumbleupon.Stumbles
* Twitter.Tweets
* Wikipedia.Links
* Yahoo.Directory
* Yahoo.Index
Creating your own scraper is quite simple. You can see how the included scrapers are built in the /scrapers/ directory. There will be a follow up post about this so stay tuned.
Let me know what scrapers you need. Just post in the [SeoTools forum](https://community.seotoolsforexcel.com/) and I’ll help you out. **If you create something cool please share with the rest of us!**
**Breaking change:** The following functions have been removed and replaced by scrapers: GoogleIndexCount, TwitterCount, FacebookLikes, AlexaReach, AlexaPopularity, AlexaLinkCount, GoogleLinkCount, GoogleResultCount, DmozEntries, WikipediaLinks.
## Ahrefs integration
I’m really excited for this new Ahrefs integration. To use the Ahrefs integration you need a [SeoTools Pro license](/purchase/) and an Ahrefs account.
[Video overview](https://youtu.be/MLyqH9polYs)
Features:
* Ahrefs rank
* Anchors
* Backlinks
* Domain rating
* Metrics
* Pages
## Google Adwords integration
Finally the long-awaited Google Adwords integration is here! To use the integration you need a [SeoTools Pro license](/purchase/) and a Google Adwords API key.
[Video overview](https://youtu.be/dmA72hjiaXY)
Features:
* Adwords Query Language (AWQL)
* Campaigns
* Keywords
* Keyword search volumes
* Keyword ideas
AWQL is really cool. Using AWQL, you can pretty much query any data from your Adwords account. If you’re a serious Adwords pro, you need to learn AWQL!
## Other notable improvements
* **Inserting values from wizards is now super fast! Also fixed a large performance issue with Dump(). This will make a big difference in SeoTools experience.**
* MajesticSEO Updates:
- Added Skip parameter to Anchor texts, Backlinks and New&Lost Backlinks.
- Added new commands Top pages, Topics and Search by keyword.
- You can now enter “unlimited” urls in Index data.
* New icons!
* Updated how delays between requests are managed. In HttpSetting you can write:
`` This will ensure that requests to the same host will be executed with a delay of random ms between 1000 and 1500. IfSame can be "Host" (default), "Domain" or "Url". This is used in some scrapers as a strategy to not get blocked too quickly.
* Added a default user agent in HttpSettings as some sites returns a http error when none is set. Request are made to look like Chrome 39 on Windows 8.1.
* Fixed some Spider issues with GooglePageSpeed and GooglePageRank columns. Some other stability improvements.
*Updated available metrics and dimensions in Google Analytics Core Reporting. Also treating all dimensions as strings.
* You can now fetch more than 1000 rows (if you have Pro) using Analytics formulas.
* Saving SeoTools.config.xml in AppData directory if failing to save SeoTools dir. If SeoTools.config.xml is not found in SeoTools installation path one is created.
* Added some stats to the Spider progress windows.
* Fixed problem in Spider when creating report and there’s no active workbook.
* HttpStatus and UnshortUrl functions now uses global HttpSettings. HttpStatus column uses HttpSettings from wizard if defined otherwise global HttpSettings. This required when scraping mobile sites where you need to set the User-Agent.
* HttpStatus column in the Spider now has an option to show the “final” http response status code or the “first”.
* Updated HtmlAgilityPack to solve stackoverflow exceptions on certain pages, improving Spider stability.
* Google PageSpeed can now query mobile results.
* Fixed bug with backlinks in SEOlytics not working.

# How to setup Tlds in SeoTools.config.xml
URL: https://seotoolsforexcel.com/how-to-setup-tlds-in-seotools-config-xml/
Type: post
Published: 2011-12-07
Updated: 2019-05-19
Summary: I got a question in the SeoTools Community Forum on how to setup a .fr TLD in SeoTools.config.xml and decided to make a blog post about it.
I got a question in the [SeoTools Community Forum](https://community.seotoolsforexcel.com/) on how to setup a .fr TLD in SeoTools.config.xml and decided to make a blog post about it.
This post assumes some knowledge in regular expressions. If you don’t know this already, regular expression are extremely powerful and really useful when working with SEO. Start by reading An [SEO’s Guide to RegEx](https://www.seomoz.org/blog/an-seos-guide-to-regex).
In SeoTools.config.xml you can add additional TLDs to support functions that use whois such as [WhoIs](/whois/), [WhoIsDomainExpires](/whoisdomainexpires/), [WhoIsDomainUpdated](/whoisdomainupdated/), [WhoIsDomainCreated](/whoisdomaincreated/), [DomainAge](/domainage/) and [IsDomainRegistered](/isdomainregistered/).
In SeoTools.config.xml, in the section `` add:
```
```
First we figure out a good WhoIsServer for .fr. Googling “Whois server france” gives us “whois.nic.fr”. (Also .whois-servers.net usually works).
Now we do a whois search for a domain we know exist. Either find a whois service for your particular TLD or use a command line tools such as Whois in [Sysinternals](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/whois).
Then we figure out the regular expression for parsing out the part that we need. To do this, I copy the whois text into [RegExr](https://regexr.com/).
For WhoIsCreatedRegex we create the regular expression `(?:created:\s*(\d{2}/\d{2}/\d{4}))`. Do the same for WhoIsUpdatedRegex and WhoIsExpiresRegex.
We now finally need to figure out what happens when getting whois for a domain that doesn’t exist.
We see that if the domain isn’t registered, the text “no entries found” is present in the whois result.
Our final `` is now:
```
```
While working on this post I noticed that SeoTools wont propertly parse DD/MM/YYYY formatted dates. I will fix this in the next release of SeoTools (3.3). Until then only IsDomainRegistered will work properly with this configuration.
UPDATE:
This was fixed in 3.3. Final for .fr is:
```
```
If you manage to make a TLD setting, please share with the community by posting in the comment section below.

Summary: How to combine Excel with the power of regular expressions. Working with strings and text have never been easier than regex formulas from SeoTools
[Regular expressions](https://regexone.com/) can be very useful for validating and manipulating data. Unfortunately there’s no built in support for regular expressions in Excel. You can use VBA but I think that’s a bit too messy.
In my Excel plugin SeoTools, I’ve added four methods:
`=RegexpIsMatch(string input; string expr)`
Matches an input string with a regular expression and returns true if there’s a match.
`=RegexpFind(string input; string expr; int group)`
Takes a regular expression and retrieves the matched group from an input string.
`=RegexpFindOnUrl(string url; string regexp; int group)`
Same as RegexpFind but the input string is instead the contents of a webpage.
`=RegexpReplace(string input; string expr; string replacement)`
Within a specified input string, replaces all strings that match a specified regular expression with a specified replacement string.
All examples below assume that you have downloaded and added SeoTools to the document you’re working on.
## Example1: Validating email addresses with RegexpIsMatch
Let’s say you have a column with a bunch of email addresses and you want to find all invalid addresses. The following formula will return FALSE for all invalid email addresses:
`=RegexpIsMatch(“niels@bosmainteractive.se”;”^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,6}$”)`
## Example2: Find a particular part in a text
Now let’s say you have a column with text where you’d like to extract a particular part from, i.e. “Sports (id:4)”, where we like to extract the “4″ into a new column.
`=RegexpFind(A1;”\(id:(\d+)\)”;1)`
## Example3: Get the number of pages indexed in Google for a set of keywords
For the last example we try some simple [web scraping](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping) using the regular expression support in SeoTools. In our example we have a set of keywords and want to have the formula return the number of pages a search returns.
`=RegexpFindOnUrl(“https://www.google.com/search?q=”&UrlEncode(A1);”About ([0-9,]*) results”;1)`
With functions in SeoTools that are marked with “(cached)” (such RegexpFindOnUrl) the URL is only fetched once per “session”. So if you have several pieces you want to extract from a webpage the source of the page is only downloaded once even if you reference the URL several times in different formulas.

# Using Excel for finding available domain names

Summary: Using a good domain name for a project can be key for a successful web project. SeoTools for Excel offers the best tools to identify available domains
Using a good domain name for a project can be key for a successful web project. I terms of SEO it is for example (at the moment at least) good to have the most important search phrase that you’re targeting in your domain name ([read more on this](https://www.seo.com/blog/domain-names-and-seo/).
Finding available domain names is hard. And not all TLDs are equally good.
In my project [SeoTools (Excel extension that adds functions to your excel workbook)](/download/) I’ve added two functions `IsDomainRegistered(string domain)` and `Whois(string domain)` to aid in finding new domains.
## Example usage
Let’s say I’m building a site for selling boats. And I need to find a good domain name that’s available. This is how you can do this in Exel using SeoTools.
1. Open an new Excel workbook. Download and add SeoTools to your workbook.
2.Create a header row with all TLDs and column with all domain name ideas. Then for each cell use a formula like `=IsDomainRegistered($A$2&B1)`. Add some color coding, and your done.
The Whois function retrieves Whois information for a given domain name.
## Configuration
The Whois servers used can be configured in SeoTools.config.xml that is located in the directory where you unzipped SeoTools.
IsDomainsRegistered performs a whois lookup and looks for certain keywords that indicates that a domain is available, such as the string “not found”. If you get false positives for TLDs that I haven’t test you need to modify the WhoIsNotFoundRegex attribute. Please add a comment below if you find false positives.

# Excel plugin for finding duplicate content in cells

Summary: SeoTools is an Excel plugin gives the current spreadsheet a bunch extra functions. Here’s a guide how to find duplicate content using SeoTools for Excel.
When working with onpage SEO you need to write unique content to keep googlebot happy. Especially if you operate a web page that has a lot of verticals and regions and each combination have it’s own landingpage. Writing really unique content in scale is very difficult and with really unique content I mean never using the same sentence twice.
We use Excel for writing content for landingpages. The problem that I wanted to solve is that given two texts (let say containing 40-60 words each) what is the longest consecutive string that they share? This is know as the [Longest common subsequence problem]() in computer science.
For example the two strings “Hello, my name is Niels” and “Hi! my name is John” has a LCS ” my name is”.
I can use this as a metric saying that given texts for two different landingpages, the LCS may not be more than X words long.
To use this in our daily operation I’ve started a working on a small project that I’ve named SeoTools.
SeoTools is a small Excel plugin that when opened, the current spreadsheet gets a bunch extra functions. Here’s a guide how to find duplicate content using SeoTools
1. Download SeoTools.
2. Unzip to a directory of your choice.
3. Now open a Excel spreadsheet that contains the column with the texts you want to find duplicate content in.
4. Then open the SeoTools.xll (Opening XLL plugins in Excel “augments” the current session).
5. You now get a security message. Click the button to the left that says “Activate the plugin only in this session”. (translated from Swedish)
6. Insert a column next to the column with the texts that you want to get LCS for.
7. Use a formula like `=FindDuplicateContent(A1;$A$1:$A$3)` (Tip: Use F4 to make the absolute cell references of the vector.)
8. Result: 
9. Note that LCS is a somewhat computation heavy operation and that for each use of FindDuplicateContent, LCS is calculated for each string in the vector. So don’t expect immediate results for large amount of text. You might want to set your Excel spreadsheet to calculate formulas manually.
## Implementation
The LCS algorithm used is 98% based on a [C# implementation](http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Algorithm_implementation/Strings/Longest_common_substring) I found in Wikibooks.
