What Page of Google Am I On?
Oct 25 2009
This is a project I’ve sort of been thinking about for a long while but just figured out how to do in the last couple days. It’s called “What Page of Google Am I On?” and is an SEO tool and web application for determining where a site ranks for a given query in Google.
Let’s say that you sell propane and propane accessories. Your website is “propanetownville.com. You put “propane accessories” (no quotes) into the keyword(s) box, “propanetownville.com” into the URL box, and submit. If none of the first page of 10 results links to your site, the next 10 are queried, and so on and so on until your listing is found or the results are exhausted. Repeat to your heart’s content!
All of this is magically accomplished with jQuery‘s AJAX function and a secret dash of PHP. Oh, the cleverness of me! Muhaha!
Notable notations of note:
- Almost entirely coded in OneFileCMS, save for some more complex find-and-replacing for Google’s CSS
- IE6 Update script (More obligatory than necessary, especially with an unfortunately less savvy SEO demographic)
- Validating XHMTL
- Ads and a “Buy me a coffee” PayPal button (cuz billz don’t be paying themselves, yo)
- Share widget borrowed from OneFileCMS
- Only took me four days to develop and design
- Single page layout with a custom, jQ-positioned modal window for “About” text
- CSS3 rounded corners
- Century Gothic (aka best font ever)

I think it might be broken. Looks like google is saying its an automated script and not allowing it to run.

It’s broken. Google is posting an error (or an intercept?)

Hey,
Cool tool, but if your website ends up in the search result “teaser” of a search result then the tool returns a false positive.
