googlescore

In the tcl archive I downloaded googlescore.tcl and tried to use it...
It does not give any error, it simply does not display a thing...

Does anybody know if it still works?
Happy New Year

this thing must be pretty ancient, requiring 1.1.5 and egghttp... I wonder how did they know about Google, it emerged later

Is not 'they' because is just one guy. The 'last modified' date of that script is 03/16/03, when did google released the googlescore?

so that so-called "googlescore" is simply the total number of pages Google has referring to the command argument

In case this wasn't clear from the script description

This script runs a link:URL search on Google.com and displays the number of pages that link to the URL in the query.

For example, Google search "link:www.vedetta.com" (without the quotes)
http://www.google.com/search?q=link%3Awww.vedetta.com

It is important because it affects the Google Page Rank of the URL, thus its position in Google search results.

How Google Score works is not the point of this post ( although i would be happy to discuss it if you catch me in irc://irc.undernet.org/webmaster ).

On the other hand, how googlescore.tcl works is the point. There is a modification that needs to be made in order for the script to work with the new Google.com page.

Replace this code:

Code: Select all

  foreach line [split $buffer \n] {
    if {[string match "*Results*of about*.*" $line]} {
      regexp {of about <b>([^<]*)</b>} $line garb score
      break
    }
  }

With this:

Code: Select all

  foreach line [split $buffer \n] {
    if {[string match "*Results*of about*.*" $line]} {
      regexp {of about <b>(.*?)</b>} $line garb score    
      break
    }
    if {[string match "*Results*of*.*" $line]} {      
      regexp {of <b>(.*?)</b>} $line garb score      
      break
    }
  }

The Google Score also varies by country. You would have to replace the Google URL and the string match to reflect the language of the desired country.
