Scraping is not a robot activity, is it? LOL

Ronnie, it would seem they have stopped using ServiceMagic! Thanks for finding that!

I wasn’t allowed to scrape the ServiceMagic site because of the way they set up their robots.txt file:
Disallow: /rfs/serviceprofessional/xmprofile/ – this has all the reviews et cetera. Oh well

Just checked the Service Magic link on that roofing site … it is broken and no longer available. May want to look into that.

Nice job Zack! Your Service Magic trick is genius. I probably would have tried ‘scraping’ their site for the information, but that code would eventually break and need to be maintained.

Another WP roofing site is Roof Life of Oregon. The owner there (judging by his writing style) is a natural born blogger, and has a real knack for it.

I recently did a complete rework of a roofing site, but chose to go the Zend Framework route. Since I do all of the content additions, did not have a need for a real backend on the site. Allowed me to do some wicked gallery integration into the site, and the code is lean and mean (BTW, it is using the Copyblogger WP theme CSS and layout as well).

If you need any help in with the copywriting, drop me a line. I am well versed in the roofing trade and can ‘pencil-whip’ something up fairly quick.
