Hello,
I'm a PHP developer very interested in understanding your methods for extracting query results from google, bing & yahoo.
Today it seems almost impossible to access to a search engine functions without private key authentication (i.e. Oauth / API key): inside SEOPanel code I did not found anything about this, and that was really surprising for me. So in the database I found some interesting string (like "http://google.com/search...") with all useful parameters for customizing search. I saw you have a cycle for finding rank of a keyword for a selected website (this is the application side which I'm really interested), but in some way I can't figure out the point in which you retrieve (and check) results. I also suppose you make "slow" queries to all that search engines, because too fast should mean bans for all the users that generate a lot of reports (i.e. 1 per day) . Can you help me understand the technique you used for treating search engine results?
Hope my request is clear for all. Salvatore (Italy)
