Easily swipe/rip a whole sales page? (15)

Easily swipe/rip a whole sales page?

Is there an easy way to swipe/rip a whole sales page "as is" (pics included)?

I want to split test my own copy and design against a proven copy from a top offer.

I tried using the "import" function on WYSIWYG Web Builder 8, which is supposed to do that, but it completely fucked with the code and did a botched job.

Copy all the code for the page into a new HTML / PHP file.

Take the site URL you are copying and put it in the top of the <head> in a base href tag, like this:

<base href="{copied site URL here}" />

Your page will then ACT like it's on their site, so all the links to CSS, images, etc. will work.

Thanks richard. Good trick, the problem is they can see that happening from the images etc being loaded from an external site, can't they?

To clarify, the idea isn't to just save it (otherwise "save as complete page" in any browser works fine) but ideally to open it in a WYSIWYG editor, quickly change the specifics (product name, price, bonuses) so it matches your offer, and upload it (ideally with the images) to your own server so you can ran a quick A/B test against your own copy.

You're probably going to have to save it with something like httrack, pagenest etc so that the active content works properly and you get a proper folder structure and all the associated content localised, then edit, then upload yourself. You can certainly open web addresses directly in many html editors, Dreamweaver for instance, but they are unlikely to download all the site content required to a local location for you and thus it won't work as you want when you upload to your own server (that is will still call on external content).

Scrapbook plugin for firefox. Downloads the page & images to html. Just need to mod the links and image references.

HTTrack

I just copy/paste the HTML code (and CSS if required) then save images individually.

It takes like 10 minutes tops.

Downthemall plugin works well for the images if they're locked as well. last I checked it's on firefox but i'm sure chrome has an equivalent.
