“Google it!” That’s the answer to almost every question when we don’t know the answer. But NerdyData is a new type of search engine with new types of results. Searching the source code of millions of websites, instead of just the visible text gives a distinct set of results and items to search. This opens up a whole new world of search when you can find real websites with certain HTML elements, CSS styles, Javascript libraries or even hidden scripts. After you find your results, download a large list of the matches. All of this can be done in seconds.
Not just for developers, NerdyData can be useful to SEO Agencies for visualizing keyword competitors, domain backlinks, searching meta data or discovering new competitors. Programmers can find real-world code examples, compare libraries, uncover patterns or see who is using your code. Co-founder David Bielik tells us more about why NerdyData is useful:
“We offer a unique insight into which domains have certain meta content, code libraries or other snippets of source code. We have many tools, like a keyword research engine, different ways to fingerprint your competition, or easily compare how frequently a term or phrase appears across the web. For example, if you or your competition uses a particular code, like a Google Analytics account ID, or a Javascript library, you can easily download the list of domains that match your unique query. If you want to make more granular searches, our Refine Tool can search, for example, websites that contain ‘legal advice’ AND ‘law firm,’ but do not contain the words ‘responsive’ or ‘jQuery.js.’”
You can use NerdyData for free with 20 credits given to a demo account. Afterward search credits can be attained for as little as $99/month. Note: A free account can also be attained that comes with 200 credits (thank you to chad mcjones for pointing out a mistake of not adding that in).
