Most of these tools and utilities were
created with the Google API.
Froogle Feeder - Software
makes submission to Froogle a snap
Froogle
feeder is an interesting piece of software.
It makes the submission of data feeds to
Froogle a breeze.
Submitting to Froogle is
not like submitting a URL to Google. You
need to follow certain guidelines and submit
a form that is specifically formatted for
Froogle.
Froogle Feeder automates
this process and saves a bundle of time.
The site also contains a
lot of detailed information about Froogle
that I have not seen anywhere else.
Aloogle -
Search Google and see Alexa Traffic results on
the same
screen:
A new search tool from Search Guild called Aloogle shows
search results from Google along with traffic graphs from
Alexa.
This is useful if you want to see how a site's traffic fluctuates throughout the
month.
Only shows 10 search results but this is a really cool
utility.
Poodle Predictor
-
A new program called Poodle Predictor by GRI
Technologies predicts what your website will look like in Google's search
results. I ran this site through it and was
surprised at how close it was to some of the pages already indexed by Google. I
definitely have some work to do! :o)
There is also a diagnostic mode to give you an idea of what search engine
spiders will see and a source code view that allows you to analyze the existing
code of your website.
You should find this tool useful to aid in the
optimization
of your website.
Google API Search Tool –
A simple search
tool made with Google’s API.
GASI will return
the top 30 results for a search term in an easy to
read format. Even export the results to a
spreadsheet to document your research.
The search
results are stored in local database and can be
retrieved anytime even if you are offline.
A nifty utility
and a great time saver.
Google Search Tool –
This program is pretty dang swanky.
Just about every search option is available
from a small application window that sits on your desktop.
Change languages, access advanced search
operators, and many other features too numerous to name here.
You can easily perform a Google search even
if you are working in your favorite word processor or application.
Check it out as it may not be around much
longer.
GooFresh –
Query the latest additions to the Google
database.
This site also gives some insight as to how
the Google "date" search operates.
If you frequent the forums at
webmasterworld, this is a favorite of
the GoogleGuy!
Google Monitor –
Find out your position in Google’s index for
particular keywords.
A word of caution: This program may violate Google's terms of use policy.
Shoot me an e-mail if any clarification can be given on this .
GoogleMail –
You can get Google search results by email.
As it says on their site, this won’t take the world by storm but it's still a
novel idea.
CapeSpeller -
From the makers of GoogleMail, CapeSpeller
is a downloadable app that uses the Google API to interface with Google's
‘spell’ function.
While this won’t replace your word
processor's spell checker it is a good way to check the spelling of proper nouns
that aren’t recognized by normal spell checkers.
XooMLe -
Google search results converted to XML.
Another interesting way to use the API.
Floogle -
Search Google's database with results
displayed in a flash interface.
GAPS -
GAPS (which stands for Google API Proximity
Search) allows you to search for two terms that are a certain distance from each
other on a page.
GAWSH -
Returns a list of web hosts found for a
particular query. You can then display only the results from a particular host.
GoogleBox -
A box that appears in your Blog that
displays the results for a specific search term.
Very useful if you want to keep up to date
with the latest results for a specific word or phrase.
Google2RSS -
This is a command line tool that will
convert the first 10 results of a query into RSS.
GoogleMatic -
Google search results through AOL Instant
Messenger or MSN Messenger.
