serp dashboard wordpress plugin

A simple wordpress plugin that shows the wordpress blog’s ranking in Google.

I moved the code to wordpress.org, please send bugreports to admin@juust.org, if possible I’ll fix ‘em asap.

serp dashboard

This one takes your 3 top blog tags, makes any combination and queries Google. You can add a custom search and schedule your searches. Standard it checks for your domain name in result urls.

• enter custom searches
• schedule searches
• automated (uses ‘shutdown’ hook to trigger searches)
• uses its own tables
• preconfigured, runs on activation
• clean uninstall on deactivation

See the note at the bottom about Google’s TOS.

All options are pre-configured on install, and here you can change them after install.

If you define a custom search and only enter the keywords, the top options will be used as standard search config. The bottom options decide what data to store.

what do the buttons do :

edit searches

Here you can configure a search or add custom searches.

You can edit an existing search by click on the configure button in the “searches” screen.

Click clear to erase all fields.
Click update to update the search. Updating the search means a new result list is retrieved.

If you only enter keywords the standard options from the admin page are added.

Google TOS

Technically this plugin violates Google’s TOS.

Sending automated queries of any sort to Google is against our Terms of Service. This includes, among other things, the following activities:

• Using any software that sends queries to Google to determine how a website or webpage ranks on Google for various queries

If you send over 2000 queries per day at their server Google block queries from your IP until you solve a captcha.

This tool makes 2 queries a day the way I use it, 15 queries spread over the week on a seven day interval. I hence don’t expect problems with Google, but it seems fair to warn.

history

date	version	changes	notes
11092009	v1.0.3	update, fieldtypes, select boxes, table refresh
08092009	v1.0.2	inline doc language option
02092009	v1.0.1		pre release
