I forgot to make a “SERP” page, it is part of this sites theme so it deserves it’s own page. I also forgot to put it in the ‘keywords’ metatag. My site might perform better with proper anchors and tags.
Here’s some serp tool pages :
serp minisite
Small concept for a serp tool minisite. On a cronjob with a mailer function, added some eye-candy Google graphs.
us/en serp
The most basic serp possible, and always a day ahead of the cached online google serp. Google seem to usually dish out cached pages on normal searches. If you run a query with the parameter &start=1 you actually get the current ranking.
three key serp
My favorite for scanning my sites ‘niche’, it permutes the first three keywords from the metatags and retrieves a search engine result page, then it hussles them all up and hands back a score based on your position in each serp. That way you get a quick view on the major sites in your neighborhood and which of your keywords and combi’s they compete on.
Once you have that view, go Piggybacking : if your competitors are forums, run over there and post some proper content (100++ words, be elaborate) for a backlink. As blogsite that means allowing them to surpass my site. as they have more juice on the thread and I am a trained writer on the keywords, so with my content they outrank my blog. But after two months, the post drops off their active thread list, google reindex the lot and most of the juice runs out.
Google only offer one result per domain for the search so by making sure that result from their domain is my content with a backlink to my blog, i *own* their result in my niche. So if the traffic goes to their site it will end up on my site, anyway and it bleeds juice my way.
Pagerank is backrubbing, Serp is piggybacking.
If you systematically do that in no time you control the entire niche.
Here is some snippets (php code to retrieve google, yahoo and msn result pages) :

I’ll finish the page some other day, enough nonsense for now.
