SEO Tool: Search Engine position checker
2
I've just finished developing a stable release of quite an advanced SEO tool, I called it "position checker".
What it does is it crawls the selected search engines upon a list of given queries, and it tries to find matches with your site. If it finds them it tells you on which page and where was it linking.
It is pretty fast, and it allows you to easily know how well your website ranks for certain search queries.

How it works:
It uses a lot of arrays to store the information, since it helped me a lot simplifying the task of handling multiple streams of information and comparing them looking for matches.
To crawl and extract the links I've used a class I've found at php classes, which is based in curl.
The full code and test page can be downloaded here:

If you have any suggestion, comment, or improvement for this idea, please comment!
Bad words list (458 words)
62Are you creating a new forum, IRC channel, or pretty much any kind of website where users can submit links and you need to control bad words?
Well I was in that situation a few days ago, and it took a very long time until I managed to find some resources, so here I'll try to post a bad words list that I'll keep on building on as I find more sources.
I won't post the bad words list as text, as some public might find it offensive. Instead I'll just post a link to a zip file with the badwords.
Download:
The zip file contains a plain text file with one word per line, and a MySQL file to populate a database with id, word, and replacement.
- Bad words list v. 2.0 - 3kb (43743 downloads)
Change log:
- Added more words to the list and improved the MySQL one. The list now contains 458 unique words, sorted in alphabetical order.
- Public release: v. 1.0 - A standard bad words list in a txt file, containing 252 words, plus an SQL script that populates a MySQL database with badwords and their respective "replacement" euphemism.
If you know of any good bad words list please comment its URL, so I can add them to this list!
Best site evaluating tools
0I guess I'm enjoying writing "Best..." compilations, and well, it is actually a great way to have all your favorite websites all in one place!
In this list I'll list the best site evaluation tools, either SEO analysis, design accessibility issues...
If you know of any great tool that I missed out, please make sure to comment, it's free!
webite value calculator, blog juice calculator, xinu, website grader, crawl tester, w3c
Blog Juice Calculator:
Probably one of the best blog rating online services out there. Learn how much "juice" your site has using this great tool. It checks almost everything that could be possible checked in a blog, and it advices you on how to improve it.
Website grader:
Another great tool, similar to blog juice but for non-blogs too. It provides you with a grado from 0-100, depending on "over 50 variables". Always good to know if you passed right?
Crawl test
Probably one of the best SEO tools here, it crawls your site and it gives you complete feedback on every single page crawled. You need to register though, and the free version limits the number of crawled pages to 5, but still worth using!
Xinu - Website Analysis
Another SEO evaluation tool, it displays various information about your site collected from all over the web. Very useful tool to know where you must strengthen your efforts!
Website value calculator:
This is more of an entertainment tool than an actual SEO tool, but still, it is cool to check... Right now it says I could sell this blog for 86$...
The grand W3C validation services:
Probably the best tool of all when trying to improve accessibility is this one. There are two validators, the html validator and the css validator. (The image points to the html one)
If you know any more great tools that I missed out, please comment!
