Free tool returns SERP's for the top 3 SE's.

Sweet. I'm sure we can benefit each other.

Right at the moment, an old employer of mine (DEEP in the adult side of the 'net) has me developing some sites (1 is "mature" content, R rated.. it's for Pure Platinum/Solid Gold.. a "gentleman's club" here in town, another is a VA Loan site and the third is for a non-profit org; spinal tap injuries). Then I have my frameless shower site which I believe I'll top 5,000 uniques this month to admin and tweak (which BTW runs off DSL ); A bridal website for the wife of the owner of the glass shop; and 3 new domains that I recently bought.. Yeah, sh*t, I ain't busy. Let's do something

Ooops, nearly forgot to mention the time I spend here

 

Seen a story about Mr. Peters and they auctioned all his clubs off to some overseas folks

But better get back on topic here, your tools remember

 

Yeah. I learned a lesson from my tools: ddns's traffic quadrupled but my Adsense CPM bit the bullet.. *shrug*

 

And getting back on topic, you asked earlier about the actual queries that returned the results.

Here's Google's:

  for($x = 0;$x < 10; $x++) {
    $pg = $x * 10;
    $google = 'http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q='.$kws.'&start='.$pg;
...
}

Code (markup):

Yahoo's:

  for($x = 0; $x < 10; $x++) {
    $pg = $x * 10 + 1;
    $yahoo = 'http://search.yahoo.com/search?p='.$kws.'&b='.$pg;
...
}

Code (markup):

And MSN:

$msn = 'http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q='.$kws.'&first=1&count=100';

Code (markup):

(Nice thing about MSN.. the number of results ret'd is in the URL.)

$kws = urlencode('keyword phrase');

I tried to keep the URL's real simple. I guess I could have thrown in some of the extra crap but I didn't see it making any difference in the results.

As you can see, if you had a ranking of 35 on Google, the actual URL that returned those results would be:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=keyword%20phrase&start=30

Code (markup):

 

By popular demand, there is now a link that will bring up a browser with the query results so you can see exactly where you are and where your competitors are.

The tool is here

 

Just tried the position tracker, nice work neterslandreau. Added to my list of tools too..
Thanks!

 

You're welcome, Rounde.

On my TODO list for that tool is to create the DB and turn it into an actual "tracker". That should be fairly simple but I get bored very easily..

 

good work, don't get bored.. If I had any skills like that I would spend the time to make them - ends up much less boring than searching through boring serp pages. but I dont... I can make pretty pictures though...

2 questions ..
Is it possible to list the number of results (3 out of xxxxxx) - would just save a little time.
Can you choose the .co.uk/ .nl. .fr engines etc ?

I'm not sure how easy, possible or timeconsuming it would be, but its just a suggestion!

 

Very good suggestions and shouldn't be anything major..

*** Neters adds them to the tool TODO list..

 

Ha

*** Neters adds them to the TOP of the tool TODO list..

I would aslo maybe consider adding another adsense ad block above the tool.. If its useful it will get busy, might as well at least pay for your bandwidth..
