9 Epic SEO Scripts
Theres a lot of script kiddy chaff out there, so I thought I would group the good stuff together a bit. Here are the nine most memorable seo scripts I have within my short-long term memory, they are all php based and are all written by people whose blogs you should be reading. I personally have used them all at times, often re-writing chunks, personalising and cross server environment modding. This is what you should do with all scripts, learn from them, re-write them your way and give back where possible. Don’t just use - understand them, otherwise your just another fool! Enjoy.
- Wordpress included Inutio XML-RPC Library
Sometimes everything you need is already there - in your wordpress includes directory!!! - Juust’s Google Trends Scraper
Juust is a new addition to my feed reader, but since he’s been there he has published a ton of good google trends scraping code. - 5ubliminals eHTTP Class
An oldie but a goodie - an epic place to start if your new to curl/scraping. - 5ubliminals xmlrpc work
Again a nice class for throwing things at wordpress remotely from php. - JoshTeam/Eli’s Ping Crawl
Contempts Modifications - Like the others it still needs personalisation and a bit of tinkering dependant on server environment. - Morethansevens Posting to Twitter
Its always handy to be able to command a sheep army of twits with php - NickyCakes How to be a dick to competitors
everyones got to trim their competitors, LOL! - WShadows TOR switch in php
Small but invaluable, Long live tor. - Dark SEO Captcha Work
Dark SEO is the blog to read if your interested in php based captcha solving.
I might even release a few of my modified/self written over the next few weeks…hmmmm..

Hey bud - thanks for the kudos on the PingCrawl modification. What exactly still needed some tweaking?

No Worries!
Well I will stick my version on here in a few weeks - basically I added a quick filtration system because ocassionally when you stick words like “download” in (as title) it finds cracks/warez sites. Removed footprints/personalised, made it use curl instead etc.
All good though I am trying it out a few places.

I’ve released a hacked version of this that uses cURL so it should work with most shared hosts (I’ve tested it with Dreamhost, Media Temple, and HostGator).
http://www.klintron.com/linkcurl/
It also adds a settings menu that lets you choose between title, tag, and category as the basis for the Google search, allows you to choose how many links to post, and whether to verify the target sites accept pingbacks.
I prefer not to verify that pingbacks are accepted, for three reasons: 1) I get better quality results 2) It seems like most of the pinged sites were “bait and switching” - they appear to accept pingbacks but the pingbacks aren’t posted (and even if they do they’re probably using “nofollow”). 3) It slows down posting.

Dude, those links are freaking awesome!! Nice work!!
I posted about it too…freaking sweet (dofollow…
)
p.s. That PingCrawl looked interesting, can someone explain it in a little bit more detail what benefit I would get from using it?

@contempt - will do - been busy recently will get on it some time next month
@klintron - yeah my version does this too - as several of the places i keep this stuff is shared hosting. settings look nice too but I think the other stuff might be good to keep?
@communibus - what did you post about? the proof is in the testing - we shall see. eh?

Hello Guru, what entice you to post an article. This article was extremely interesting, especially since I was searching for thoughts on this subject last week.
