Hi Rob,

There are services that do this as you are right that these are useful
services, but the issue here might be the volume of links you need to
capture and the associated cost. E.G.

http://www.netmechanic.com/browser-index.htm

http://www.browsercam.com

Even at a buck per URL for Browsercam this could get expensive if you are
doing loads of URLs, and you may still may need to collate data in a way
that is not provided by the service.

Why people need to capture so many URLs and be so nosey about what other
sites are doing though I have no idea... :)

Cheers,
