Search Engine Positioner

Feb 3, 2007

After I wrote about how to check a website's position at the Google search result page, I thought it would be fun to write a little application that uses that method, but extend it to work with Yahoo and AltaVista as well. This is the result.

The application let you save the keywords of all the websites you want to check. Then just press the “Find positions” button and it automatically retrieves the data from the different search engines.

Installation

The application is deployed using ClickOnce, so Internet Explorer has to be your default browser for it to install. Afterwards you can change your default browser back to what it was.

Hey Mads, nice app.  I've tried downloading the source code & it's asking me for a password, can you tell me what it is?

I have removed the password from the strong-name file now. Sorry about that.

Nice! Exactly what I was looking for! Perfect for quick scans..

It would be nice if you changed it to also include MSN. It should be an option where you set the search engine language.

Maybe you could make a version which search google.no, msn.no and yahoo.no for me!! hehe...Smile
