I wrote a lengthy article on SEO metrics from a programmer's perspective today. The hope is to stir up some discission on data retrieval/mining from the top SEs and other providers. Would love to field some discussion from other people working through the same kludges with the various APIs etc.
Great stuff - I'm about to write an online tool to establish a (rough estimate of a) link monetary value, you paper seems very good and on topic for me. Rep added - cheers!
Thanks guys. Appreciate the praise but was hoping to hear about some of the metrics I missed. Anyone? Or has anyone had some experience working with the API's listed?
