How Well Do You Really Know Your Website?

If you’re like most webmasters, you have probably spent years building your site. You have spent years adding content, building links and cultivating traffic – but how well do you really know your website?

How well do you know the intricate details of your website’s traffic? Where do your site’s visitors come from? How long do they stay on your site? Just where do they go to on your site and how well do they convert into buyers or subscribers?

Do you know your site’s rankings in the major search engines? What are your site’s top keywords? What’s your site’s Google PageRank? Who are your IP neighbors? What your site looks like in other browsers? How much is your site worth?

These are just some of the questions you should know, mainly because the more knowledge you possess about your site, the better equipped you will be at improving it. So here’s a simple list of free site checking tools/sites that will let you “Big Brother” (monitor and watch) your site.

1. Google Analytics

Perhaps one of the most helpful analytical tools you can use on your site. Google Analytics will give you a wealth of information about your site’s traffic. Where it comes from, how long it stays on your site, where it goes on your site, how well your content converts… invaluable information every webmaster should have in their possession. ( www.google.com/analytics )

2. NetMechanic Toolbox

Check your site’s mechanics – find broken links, check browser compatibility, find bad HTML code, spot slow-loading pages, and check your spelling… all by using the NetMechanic Toolbox: ( www.netmechanic.com )

3. Keyword Suggestion Tool

This free keyword suggestion tool will tell you how many searches are done in WordTracker and Overture for your site’s keywords. Extremely valuable information since much of web’s traffic and ecommerce is keyword driven. ( www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/)

4. Iwebtool

This is another free site which offers many valuable webmaster’s tools that will give you information about your/any site. Google PageRank, PageRank Prediction, Link Popularity, Search Engine Positions for Keywords, Backlink Checker… also Visual PageRank where you can see all the PR values of all the links on a given page – both internal and external. ( www.iwebtool.com )

5. Alexa Traffic Rankings

Alexa tracks the web’s traffic by using the Alexa bar in a surfer’s browser. Most people know it is not an accurate assessment of the traffic on the net but is a handy measuring stick, nonetheless. It is also a handy tool for comparing sites and seeing the long-tern traffic trends of different sites, including your own. ( www.alexa.com )

6. Your Site’s Traffic Logs

Most webmasters know your raw traffic logs are worth checking and reading. It contains valuable information about your site. Especially helpful if you’re checking for broken links on your site, you don’t want to see those 302′s everywhere. Close examination and regular checking of your traffic logs and stats will point out the profitable keywords on your site.

7. BetterWhois

You can use this site to find out the domain information about your site. Do you have control of your domain? Many webmasters buy their domain name thru their web hosting company, while this is not a problem in itself, however, if any dispute should arise who has administrative control of your domain; you or your hosting company? Can you change hosting companies? ( www.betterwhois.com )

8. Google Alerts

Another valuable tool from Google which notifies you by email when your link or site is found anywhere on the web. Great for keeping track of any new links your site is getting. Many webmasters also use this handy tool to keep track of their competitor’s sites. They also use Google Alerts to keep track of whenever their own name is mentioned anywhere on the web. This one would even make Orwell proud. ( www.google.com/alerts )

9. IP Neighbors

Many webmasters have their site hosted on shared hosting plans, which means there can be hundreds of sites sharing the same IP address. This site lets you discover who your IP neighbors are. Why would you want to know your IP neighbors? Well like neighbors everywhere; there are good ones and there are bad ones. For example, if you have a neighboring site that uses email to spam, it could get your IP address blocked or shut down. ( www.myipneighbors.com )

10. Any Browser

Use to this handy site to discover what your site looks like in different browsers; you could be in for a real shock. ( www.anybrowser.com )

11. Google Toolbar

The Google Toolbar can be placed on your browser so that when you’re surfing you can see the Google PageRank of each page/site you’re visiting. Many SEO experts believe Google is not giving us the true PR of a page and this bar is rather useless. However, like the Alexa rankings it is a handy measuring stick, nonetheless. ( www.toolbar.google.com )

12. What Is Your Site Worth?

Please take this last analyzing tool with “a large grain of salt”, but it is fun to use and to see how much your site is worth. Measurement here is done largely by the amount of links you have coming into your site. ( directory.sootle.com/website-worth )

In conclusion, all of these free handy tools/sites will give you a better, more complete picture of your own site. Remember, the more knowledge you acquire about your own site and your competitor’s sites, the more equipped you will be to succeed. This is one case where being a “Big Brother” can truly benefit your site.

Introduction to Web Services With PHP

Saturday, December 31st, 2011

Note that both Google’s service and PEAR::SOAP are technically still in beta, so you might encounter the odd bug from time to time. There are other SOAP client libraries available, including the PHP5 SOAP extension and NuSOAP, and while implementation details are different the basic theory is the same as presented here.

Setting up the PEAR SOAP module

Before we can start using SOAP, we had better make sure both PEAR itself and the SOAP module are available. The PEAR package manager is installed by default with PHP 4.3.0 and later, but if you are using an earlier version or it is missing on your system check out the PEAR manual for instructions.

Once you have the package manager installed, you will need to download the SOAP package. On most systems, you can just enter pear install SOAP into a console window. At least, that’s the theory. Unless there is a stable release of SOAP available, you will get the message No release with state equal to: ‘stable’ found for ‘SOAP’. Try pear install SOAP-beta to get the most current version of the package at the time of writing, even though it is in beta, or tell PEAR to accept beta versions without complaint by typing pear config-set preferred_state beta.

You may also get one or more messages starting with requires package, followed by Dependencies failed. In this case, try the pear install command again but add the dependencies on the command line. For example, if PEAR complained that the Net_DIME package is missing, try using pear install Net_DIME SOAP instead.

Getting a license key

Once you have installed the SOAP module, the next step is to download the Google Web APIs developers’ kit and register to get a license key. This key allows you to make up to 1000 SOAP queries a day free of charge. Visit Google Web APIs (http://www.google.co.uk/apis/) and follow the instructions on the site.

Unzip the developers’ kit and put it in a convenient place. It only contains samples for accessing the service with .NET and Java, but most of the documentation applies equally to calling Google from PHP.

Decoding the WSDL file

In the developer’s kit main directory you will find a WSDL file called GoogleSearch.wsdl, which you can open in a text editor or XML browser. This file defines exactly what services we can call using SOAP, though the Google documentation is probably easier to read!

However, we can also see what the SOAP module makes of this file. Create a new PHP page and enter the following.

generateProxyCode();

?>

Place it somewhere on your server along with GoogleSearch.wsdl and access it through your web browser. Assuming everything is working right, you should get a lot of PHP code output. This code is the result of the SOAP_WSDL client class parsing the WSDL file and converting it into PHP functions. This tells us what functions we can call in a rather more readable form than the WSDL document, and is handy particularly if you are using a poorly documented WSDL service.

So how does the code work? Let’s go through it step by step:

1. First, we load the SOAP client file. If this gives an error, it probably means SOAP isn’t installed properly and you should read the instructions above or the PEAR manual.

2. We then create an instance of the SOAP_WSDL class, based on the GoogleSearch.wsdl file. This is one of the main classes we are going to use throughout this tutorial: it parses the WSDL file and represents it as PHP.

3. Finally, we output the proxy code as plain text. (As you can see from the output, in SOAP the proxy is a class that represents the WSDL calls available as PHP functions.)

Spell-checking with Google

If you’ve been using Google for a while (and type as erratically as me), you have probably noticed the “Did you mean…” line that appears if you misspell a word in a search. Thanks to the Google web service, we can add this spelling checker to our PHP applications (though to be honest, it would probably be better to use pspell in an actual application). Enter the following code, with your own license key as the first string.

gettProxy();

echo $googleProxy->doSpellingSuggestion($key, ‘diktionary’);

?>

Simple, isn’t it? The first line is trivial and the next two are the same as the previous example. The fourth line creates the proxy object based on the code we looked at earlier, so we can make SOAP requests by calling its methods. Finally, we call doSpellingSuggestion and output the result. Access this page in your web browser, and you should see the word ‘dictionary’ on its own.

You might see ‘Object’ instead, in which case SOAP has encountered a problem and returned a SOAP_Fault object. We will look into dealing with these faults sometime in the future, but for now check if you have entered your license key correctly and not managed to exhaust your 1000 query per day limit (!).
