Competitor Ninja Script Review - Edited, February 16, 2009
Reviewer: Teri Lee
I found this script extremely easy to upload and use. I also
found the results page information to be accurate and each type
of returned data labeled and separated into table cells so it was
easy to interpret what you were looking at.
I was surprised however, that there was not a short how-to for
new web masters on how to upload the script and link to it for
their own use and or their customer's use.
Here are a couple of examples of why there should have been
installation instructions:
1. If the user doesn't upload the script into its own folder
(which they definitely should!), but to the root folder, then
the script's pages may overwrite other same name pages in the
root directory.
2. The script's display page's images, which are named
"/images/header.jpg" and "/images/footer.jpg" on the script's
display pages code, may also overwrite other pre-existing images
in the root "images" folder.
3. If the script user is new to scripts, they might not even know
how to install the script.
Even though it is a "nifty" little tool to use for getting
information on your competitor or just similar sample site's
keyword and content information, I feel that the potential for
new web masters to either not be able to use the script without
instructions, or to possibly unknowingly overwrite files on their
site, is something that the script creator should have prevented
by including a short instruction/installation text file.
The fact that there are no instructions included with the script
is the reason I dropped one star from the rating I gave the
Competitor Ninja Script.
NEW 2/2009:
In answer to the question in the comments on how to install...
1. Unzip product
2. Upload files in the "script" folder except the psd images folder. To upload:
a. Use an ftp program and create a folder named "ninja" on your web site's root folder. (The folder your index pg is in)
b. Use the ftp program to upload the files by 1st- Double clicking the newly created folder on your hosting account - these files are always listed on the left side- so you are looking at the contents of the empty folder named "ninja". All you should see on the rt. is a small folder with "..." next to it at the top. (This is the icon you click to go back up one level in your files view, not any content in your "ninja" folder)
2nd- Hold the ctrl key and then click on each file in the "script" folder (Except the psd files!) to select them
3rd- Click the arrow facing right (From the left side where your computer files are towards the right side where the server files are) to upload the files you have selected in the 2nd step above.
4th- Just wait a couple of minutes for the files to upload. It won't take long the files are very small :)
3. Use your browser and go to the index page of the "ninja" folder on your web site. The URL is:
http://yourdomainname.com/ninja/index.php
4. The Ninja Script home page will show and in the space with the URL for Google pre-loaded, type in the URL of the site you want to see the Ninja script results of
5. The page will refresh, and the initial results will show.
6. You can also click on any of the URLs listed in the results and have that page analyzed as well.
If you have trouble check and make sure you uploaded the files with your ftp software that end in ".php" in ascii mode and the rest in "binary" mode and also that PHP is enabled/installed on your server. Usually the default is to automatically upload the files correctly, so you shouldn't have to change anything.
There are no files to edit or anything you need to do besides just upload everything to make the script work.
I hope this answers the installation question and I'm sorry if it is in the wrong place.
