elime: Great Post! +rep
Notius: No, VPS hosting is not a must have unless you are going after a true cycle site. Then VPS or dedi is required. You'll crash a shared server with a cycle site. If you need a VPS, check out my sig. LiquidWeb r0x0rs! Eli like's Softlayer, I've never used Softlayer, but I'll probably get a dedi box with them someday to test them out.
Dave_IL: Nope, I won't sell it. It's not my script, I'll check with the person that wrote and see if it's okay to give it out. But basically, all it does is load a keyword list, and then it prints the feed list to a page.
Here's a simple scraper that I put together.
http://sempros.net/feed-finder.php
And the code, so you can host your own:
PHP Code:
<?php
$keyword = $_POST['keyword'];
if(!$keyword) // if no keyword is specified, show the form
{
echo "<form action=".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']." method='post'>
Enter Keyword: <input type='text' name='keyword'><br />
<input type='submit' value='Find Feeds'>
<input type='reset' value='Start Over'>
</form>";
}
else
{
$wordpress = str_replace(" ", "-", $keyword);
echo "Here are your feeds for <b>$keyword</b> just copy and paste:<br /><i>http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?hl=en&q=" .urlencode($keyword). "&ie=utf-8&num=100&output=rss<br />
http://feeds.technorati.com/tag/" .urlencode($keyword). "?authority=n&language=en<br />
http://feeds.technorati.com/tag/" .urlencode($keyword). "?authority=n&language=en&page=2<br />
http://feeds.technorati.com/tag/" .urlencode($keyword). "?authority=n&language=en&page=3<br />

http://wordpress.com/tag/" .$wordpress. "/feed/<br />
";
}
