I have spent the entire day trying to write a crawler to get the used cars data from Gaadi.com. I have been getting confusing information through out the day. Having spent more than 12 hours tweaking my own code, I just realized that the error is there in the source data itself!!!!!!!!

Just check this link for used toyota cars in New delhi http://www.gaadi.com/usedcars/TOYOYA–New+Delhi and you will understand my frustration.

I have spent the last 12 hours with the basic assumption that my code must have the error. The problem was I used the maruti in new delhi section as the test page and it was working fine. Sometimes being modest can be so frustrating…. :( Anyways will have to resume work tomorrow morning.

The only positive development in the day has been the fact that my used bikes section has started to get some user entries and it made its debut in google serp at #170 for the keyword second hand bikes :) That is not exactly great but anyways the great G has considered my site worthy of inclusion is worth celebration.
