juust ~ php oddities

I never got around to building a serp tool with a mysql backend, one on a cronjob with an email option.
This weekend I got an OSWD free template, then it at least looks like a website. I develop a lot easier when it has a template. Filling in the blanks.

Often if you program a rough sketch, in time it sort of develops itself. If you don’t start nothing gets done.

I am developing it on juust.org/serp/, once its finished i’ll put one on trismegistos.net and put the source up for download.

It’s flimsy but the idea of a serp minisite with emailer option is commercially attractive.

It’s also important for the blog to have a ’serp’ page in the menu, and a serp page should have serp tools, in abundance, all kinds of them.

28-7
the permutation serp creates too much of a load and the results are 90% general so not very usefull per page.

• replaced it with a straight top-50 serp on the msn, yahoo, google engines
• using post_tags
• added a link to the search engine result pages themselves
• added a cache and a timer on 6000seconds, it requeries every 1.5 hours when a page is opened and in the meantime dishes out cached results, to minimize queries and page load times
• added before_widget and after_widget

it needs

• specific options per engine (language etc.)
• a dig option up to 1000 result
• css hooks
• max three keywords constraint
• page keywords list (currently only posts’ tags are used)
• a mysql backend (I don’t want the nonsense in the wordpress db)
• a counter for used queries (otherwise you get ‘no result’)
• an archive report to see how the serp results develop

but it’s a start

---

the results are accurate but i need a once a day routine to grab the keyword of the index page and other pages (the ‘keywords’ section is often dynamic and changes every day, most sites use plugins to either grab all tags of listed posts and put them in the meta-section as page-keywords, or use headspace to override it with a fixed set.)

querying the wordpress database and for all non-post page use get_meta_tags, put url and tags in a cached list and serp the lot once a day would solve that.

something like that.

once I got that fixed i’ll ask some people to test it.

So how did I do with a few days search engine optimisation ? not bad at all, on php+serp nicely on second spot behind shoemoney.com and on serp+php also front page, and on the 5 keys overall 13th. not bad for a PR0 domain.
