    Hi everyone,

    I just build a new popularity link checker with PHP and it work fine. This tool check for Alexa Ranking, AlltheWeb, Altavista, DMOZ, Google/AOL, HotBot, MSN, Yahoo and Zeal. My question is: Do I need to incorporate the Google Web APIs in my script. I use this line in my PhP script to check Google: 
    linkcheck("http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=link%3A".$domain, 'google');
    PHP:
    .

    Many thanks to all of you!

    It depends if you want to stay on googles good side or not. Their guidelines say
    http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html

    The API is the recommended way to do it.
