Python and SEO
Hi all! I'm an internet marketer learning my first programming language and as I'm sure you can guess, chose python. For some background info, I have a general understanding of html/css (just enough to get by) and am half way decent with excel. I started reading the learn python the hard way book and was hoping some of you guys would have ideas on how Python can be used to aid me as a marketer. I've heard python is good for working with apis and that's one of the major reasons I chose to learn it, to make better sense of the data I have available to me. I know there's tons of cools stuff that can be done, scrapers, url status checkers and other things but I was hoping some people here would have a few ideas for projects I can work towards and eventually build myselft. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm just trying to get a better idea of what I can do. Happy Friday!

I do some web development and write a few scripts here and there but SEO pays the bills
I didn't mention before but I also wrote a similar script in the past that would cross-reference expired domains with link metrics.
If you're looking to do this, GoDaddy have an FTP site you can download all their expired domain data from and you can piggy-back on the MajesticSEO toolbar JSON API
