RE: [PHP] Open Source SEO tool

Hi Ashley, Yes, I would have to have a list or pass parameters to tell it a domain name, some key words and then gather the results. This is something similar to what Peter has posted and gives me a starting point I believe. My thought is I would email myself the current position ( on that day ) for my domain and I would then know if changes or content which are on the site are helping to improve that position as well as kind of a warning when it’s slipping down the returned results which would mean were going to loose traffic…. Thanks!

Probably something that runs in cron and executes daily weekly etc? Thanks! Jack It sounds like a simple question, but it isn't really. What search terms do you want to check your positioning for? What locations (as many search engines are putting a bias on results by location now) Perhaps look at one of the visitor tracking solutions, which might be able to give you an idea of the search terms people have used to find your site, and then give the position based on that search? I know Googles own analytics software does this, although the results there are a little inaccurate. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
