The Sethi Family's Search Engine Position Checker


Welcome to our Visibility & Marketing Test Page... or, your friendly neighbourhood search engine & directory position checker. This is still only a test... if this had been a real emergency... hell, if this had been a real emergency, I wouldn't be here right now, would I??? This is the first in a series of tools that we'll be releasing for general use for free. Please check back often to see what kind of cool new tools we'll be releasing to the public (and, if you have any suggestions on programs or tools you'd like to see, just drop us a line with your suggestion).

Nota Bene: Please note that this page (and this script) hasn't been updated in a couple of years. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to update the Engine definitions. So even though the script itself works, the data it returns should be considered inherently unreliable. I do plan on updating the engine definitions (it shouldn't take more than about five hours) but it's amazingly hard to free up a five-hour block with my schedule these last couple of years. But, I do intend to do it soon... perhaps 2004 will provide the motivation I need to fix it. Once the engine definitions are fixed, these results will, once again, be reliable (needless to say, this will always remain free, of course). But in the meantime, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,



Rick.

P.s., if anyone would like to muck around with the engine definitions (they're quite involved Perl regexes), please do drop me a line.

Is Rick cool, or what?
