This will be a basic web page spider. It will retrieve links from search results (I will specify the search site once a bidder has been chosen). It will follow each link and check for keywords on the linked page and if it meets the criteria, it will keep the link in a list and retrieve it’s page rank. I have included illustrations and explanations of various functions I want in the application.
**_![][1]
Results_**
Each link that meets my predefined search criteria will be displayed in a listview box (See illustration below). NOTE: duplicates must be removed.

**_Statusbar_**

Export / Save_**
Must be able to export/save all of the data the results in the listview to a text file and to excel ??" with the option of saving or excluding the keyword or pagerank data. See Example below:
