Overview
The position of your website in the Google organic search is quickly becomming one of the most critical marketting measures. This page/script will allow you to automate this process.
How To
- Sign up for a google Ajax API Key (http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/signup.html)
- You will get a jsapi key from google, something like this
‘ABQIAXFEakaXw3_Fd-zqqMhjDLzqaRTTser7lsytcEDBoz0jKRWQmOpxexR7x409podV88a5eoPr2KIvw8Ub3B’ (Note this is not a valid key)
- Download this html page/script and rename to .html (remove .txt extension)
- Open this page in a text editor (note pad is just fine)
- Replace
(Line 53) with, you guessed it, your jsapi key. - On line 59 you will see the configuration for this file, you will need to change the following items
- lookfor (Line 66, 78, 87). These tell the script what to look for in the url and youtube title.
- On line 75, replace “Sydney, NSW” with a location that you think some of your clients would be searching from.
- On line 228 the lookup table rows begin. You can add as many rows as you wish here. The rows must be in the format (replace
):
<tr><td><Search term or phrase></td></tr>- You can have headers by adding rows in this format:
<tr class='header'><th>This is a header row</th></tr>- Open the file in your browser and click ‘Run Report’
