Download Google Positioner WordPress plugin v1.2
*UPDATE*: For all of you people who were so kind to download this plugin, and get DB errors, please update your plugin to the latest version (1.2) and all should be well. I’ve tested the installation procedure over and over, and eventually didn’t come up with any bugs or errors. The plugin has both been tested in WP 2.3.x and WP 2.5.x.
My plugin is meant to get the search results from Google for your targeted keywords and to match these results with your wordpress domain.
This way people can quickly get an idea how and where their website ranks in Google.
Changelog:
19/05/2008 v1.1: Updated to version 1.1 to fix aPHP 5 vs PHP 4 bug involving private member functions in classes.
28/04/2008 v1.0: Fully working version of the positioner, complete with database keywordtracking!
19/12/2007 v0.1: Working version of the positioner
20/12/2007 v0.1: Enabled the localization of my plugin
I’m always open for suggestions, so please don’t hesitate to contact me @home kim.kennof@gmail.com or @work kim.kennof@queromedia.com.

hey, the plugin doenst work in wordpress 2.5.
look at this fatal error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/cibao3/public_html/cibao3/wp-content/plugins/positioner/includes/classes.php on line 90

Nice idea but it triggers a fatal error. Keep trying.
kim responded on 19 May 2008 at 13:07 #
Hi David and Lamag,
If you’re webserver is running PHP 5, there should not be any problem or bug.
PHP 4.x on the other hand is not able to parse these private functions, thus triggering a fatal error.
The fatal error you guys mention is triggered by some private functions in the GoogleQuery class (classes.php).
I removed this access restriction (the “private “) piece in the beginning of the line and updated all plugin files through SVN to version 1.1, thus creating an update notice in your wordpress plugin screen.
I hope this solves all your troubles.
Greets,
Kim

Hi Kim,
I always get this error message when clicking on “Position Me”:

Oh, and could you please add German to the language selection?

Hi Daniel, I’ve tested everything and nothing came up. My Database tables got created upon plugin-activation.
I will pay extra attention to this when updating the plugin, but in the mean time I will put the plugins DB tables on this webpage, so you can create them through PHPMYADMIN.
CREATE TABLE `wp_py_jobs_data` (
`ID` BIGINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ,
`job_id` BIGINT NOT NULL ,
`keyword` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`position` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`type` ENUM( 'own', 'competitor' ) NOT NULL ,
`match_url` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`result_url` TEXT NOT NULL
) ENGINE = MYISAM CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
CREATE TABLE `wp_py_jobs` (
`ID` BIGINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ,
`start` DATETIME NOT NULL ,
`end` DATETIME NOT NULL ,
`region` VARCHAR( 10 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'com',
`language` VARCHAR( 10 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'en',
`meta` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`num_results` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT '30'
) ENGINE = MYISAM CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
Hope this solves your problem, Greets

Hi David,
Thanks for your feedback. It rather disturbs me to read your comment.
For me it is impossible to imagine this situation, as I have never experienced this kind of behaviour by my plugin.
It seems my plugin has some kindof Artificial Intelligence built-in
as it is doing all kinds of funkiness which he appearently doesn’t do with me (or any of my testrabbit-colleagues).
I will do a full recode of my plugin, as to meet all requested bug-fixes and updates.
I want to thank all of you for your feedback, without you I wouldn’t be able to fix these issues!

Cool plugin.
I was getting the following error:

I used a workaround and updated the wp-db.php file. Here is the link to the workaround. http://robsnotebook.com/wordpress-mysql-gone-away
Thanks
Daniel responded on 21 May 2008 at 16:44 #
Hi Kim,
thanks for posting the tables. I’ve created them via PHPMYADMIN. And now I know why they have not been created upon activation: the command COLLATE is not supported by MySQL 4.0 and less. I’m using MySQL 4.0, so the tables could not have been created. Maybe you can fix this in any way!?
Thanks for your help and thanks for the great plugin!
Greets, Daniel

Thx Daniel, Pat and Tum for your feedback!
I will update the create table statements and leave out the collation (utf8-general) and database type (MyIsam) for future versions.
This way the create statements will be executed with the default database collation and database-type and hopefully not return any errors.
I’ve added the feeds for robsnotebook.com and bbgb.com to my feedreader to stay uptodate
Again, Thanks for your comments, appreciate it a lot! I hope my plugin does what it’s supposed to do and saves you guys some work.

ovidiu responded on 22 May 2008 at 15:06 #
I am wondering a little about the options. REGION means the area I am based? and is there a problem, if that area differs from the language I chose? also what do I input into the meta field?
Kim responded on 23 May 2008 at 18:09 #
Hi Ovidiu,
Thank you for commenting and providing feedback on my plugin. I appreciate this a lot.
As for your question about the Google options:
Region aims at the TLD for “your” google domain (www.google.TLD).
Ex. In Belgium it would be “be”, in Russia it would be “ru”, in Spain “es”, Italy “it” and so on.
For the question about the difference between language and region:
As “region” aims at the TLD, language aims at the default language in which YOU visit the google website.
In Belgium this can be Dutch, English or French as we have a multilanguage country. Americans will then again simple choose English, as they don’t have any other languages.
I’m not well informed about Russia, but I will add the option “Russian” or provide an open text field, so people can fill in what they need/want.
Please provide me with the necessairy information (languages and parameter values as for “hl=xx” in the querystring), so I can update the plugin ASAP. I will do my best to track down this info myself, but can’t make any promises.
For the meta-field:
Currently this is only for advanced use. This field can be used to add extra parameters to the keyword query url.
For ex. If I would google “Wordpress” in Belgium, it would result in this URL:
http://www.google.be/search?hl=nl&q=Wordpress&btnG=Google+zoeken&meta=cr%3DcountryBE
The parameters in this url are easy.
“hl=” is used for the interface language.
“q=” is used for the query.
“btnG=” is used for the button text.
“meta=” can be used for extra parameters, as in content filters, or country restrictions.
As I am currently still working on implementing as much options as I can, the meta field will remain only for experienced users, otherwise it can be left empty.
Greets,
Kim

hi. i am interested with the concept of this plugin..could you please make a step by step info/q&a for this as i don’t understand much of SEO. thank you
kim responded on 26 May 2008 at 14:32 #
Hi Getitfromboy,
Thanks for commenting.
SEO or Search Engine Optimization is the art of building a well structured website, for your human visitors as well as for search engine spiders. This meaning that you should use proper sourcecode (headers, div’s, etc…), use proper css / javascript techniques, provide usefull information on hyperlinks and images (alt & title tags) and much more.
This whole process is mostly focussed on a certain list of terms which are important for your website or business, and thus have to be present in your website’s content and titles, as well as other strategic places.
For example: If you have an electronics shop, “tv”, “stereo”, “mp3 player”, “dvd”, “blue-ray player” etc will be important as they will be used by visitors to find your website through search engines like Google.
After you have built your website and added some content (products?), it is important that your website is visible and findable through search engines. For this to happen, you have to build up a certain amount of relevance for the earlier mentioned terms.
When you have accentuated some of these words in the correct places like
- page title (<title>),
- meta description (<meta name="description">),
- page headers (<h1 -2-3-4-5-6>),
- in emphasis-tags (<em> or <strong>), ...
your website will build up history and relevance through time. (A matter of months, not days)
Lets say a user googles the term “plasma tv” and you have a page about plasma-tv’s, for example about the pro’s and con’s of plasma-technology,
This way search engines will place you higher in the search engine result pages then your competitors’ websites as your website has more relevance and history for the search term.
To follow your website for your wanted keywords, you can use my wordpress plugin to track these in your favorite Google mirror.
In our Electronic-shop example this would result in:
- “tv” on position 5 in google.com,
- “stereo” op position 3 in google.com,
etc
I hope you now have a clearer view on SEO and what my plugin actually does.
Greets,
Kim

Looks like a great tool. I have just downloaded it so I cant comment on functionality yet. It did however install no problem. I went trough the settings and added keywords. A couple of setting questions.
The default region is be. Where is this? My site is hosted in Ireland and targeted at UK and Irish audience. What are the cosed for UK and / or Ireland?
What should go in the meta box? One word or a series of words. If a series, is it a phrase or words seperated by commas?
Thanks
John
kim responded on 01 Jun 2008 at 12:52 #
Dear John Oneill,
Thanks for your comments!
The settings panel is laid out as follows:
- Region: The geographical extension used by Google. For ex. If France -> google.FR, if Belgium -> google.BE
- Language: The language in which users will probably visit the Google site. For ex. If France -> French, if Belgium -> Dutch, if UK -> English, and so on.
- Meta: The meta option is solely for advanced users, who want to put something behind every query-url. For ex. If you entered “TV” as a keyword, this would result in http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=TV. If you wanted to put customized parameters behind this query-url, you can by filling them out in the meta field. You can use this field to add a Country restriction.
I recommend on leaving this EMPTY if you don’t know what you’re doing.
- Number of results: The number of results on the Google SERPs page you want to check for matches with your domain (or any competitor’s).
I hope my explanation has clarified everything, otherwise feel free to contact me through email or commenting.
Greets,
Kim

The plug in works if I keep the default values for region and language i.e. “BE” and “DUTCH”.
If I change to “UK” and “English” I get an error:
“Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /home/thealevi/public_html/wp-includes/class-snoopy.php on line 1157″
I change back, and it works again.
So at the moment I am keeping it on the default settings but I don’t know if this gives me a different result from what it would be if I was able to set UK and English.
The other thing to mention is that the actual results received don’t match the result if I search ‘manually’.
Still a very useful plugin, so thank you.

looks like a great plug-in but it does not seem to be pulling back any information for my keywords.
For region I have tried US, blank and com since you state it is using this for the TLD.
Language is English
Meta is blank
I have included very specific keywords that I know are on Googles first page by searching google itself but I am getting 0 back for everything.
Am i missing something?

Hi,
Thank’s for this cool plugin.
a little bug, though, to all of you who have the problem of result 0 for term you know google references for your blog, the answer might be in the fact that you wordpress is not installed at the root of you domain (hence the values of wp_option(’siteurl’) and wp_option(’home’) are different, if you hack the plugin to replace some instances (i think there are 3) of siteurl by home, everything becomes smooth.

First thanks for a great plugin. I have noticed that there is a conflict with the JQuery code used by the MyCategoryOrder (and likely the MyLinkOrder counterpart) plugin which makes the drag and drop interface of the other plugin not work. This requires disabling your plugin, then using the other plugin to drag and drop categories, and then reenable your plugin after.
Just wanted to give you the heads-up on it.

Hi! Very very good plugin…
@Dylan Jorgensen: as you can see the error message say the plugin is trying to access http://www.google.USA — you put USA in the region, there you have to put the google domain … ‘with’, ‘com.br’, ‘ru’. ‘gov’ …
@kim: I can make some suggestions?
I changed some things in your plugin, I would suggest for you to put in future versions…
* Add ‘pt-BR (portuguese - braziliam)’ in the list of languages
* A button to delete all history from the database!
thanks and sorry my bad english

My competitors always have the position “0″.
But if I check that keyword on google they have often a better position than I do.
Guys, any clue?
Thanks.

What do I have to type into the competitior form?
Name?
URL?

Can you create a table to see history? Right now I am putting my results into excel and plotting that way. I love the plugin, but w/out manually looking, I can see if I gained or lost based on my ‘tweaking’ of my site.
It’d be great to see a page with the past 10, or 20 runs in columns to show SEO progress. Sometimes dialing in can help or hurt.. It’d be great to visually see that in an easy format.
Also, i’m getting 0 for my competitors too?? Is that something broke, or am I not using it correctly.
I’m running the latest plugin code on 2.7.1

Hi Kim,
Great plugin.
Few questions or maybe suggestions. Google Region, would be better to change that to (i.e) Google Local Domain, as described in http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en.
Since there was no explanation and ( . ) dot was not visible I’ve entered region as us, not knowing that it was .com
Other than that it looks very good without any error.
PS. Also I’ve renamed <img src=”/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-google-seo-positioner/images/joinbottom.gif” alt=”Competitor: ” align=”absbottom” /> because in IE7 the image did not display.
Thanks,
Emil

Hi Kim,
Thanks for the plugin, unfortunately, I’ve had to deactivate it because it was causing issues with inserting media into my posts and pages. Don’t know if you’ve seen this before or not but got the solution to my problem from this forum thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/197027/page/2. When clicking the Add Image button I was getting a whole screen selector as opposed to the “layered” page selector. Think it’s an Ajax thing but then I don’t know Ajax. Let me know if you have a solution. I’m running 2.7.1.
Cheers,
Jeff

Would like to have this useful plugin installed hopefully into my new blog soon.

Hi,
Re: Google Positioner. Nice plugin but I notice when it is activated it seems to disable the word counter when writing pages or posts.
Klaus responded on 01 Jul 2009 at 20:55 #
I like your plugin, but when I activate it, the “Add tags” in WP 2.8 stops working. Seems most of the AJAX stuff simply stops working, cannot hide “custom fields” and all that from the edit post either. Only when deactivating your plugin.
It’s a shame really, it’s a nice plugin.
Olivier responded on 02 Jul 2009 at 10:02 #
Hello, I have the same problem than Klaus. The problem only appears on 2.8 and not on 2.7 and below.
Thanks for your excellent work anyway

Dawn responded on 08 Jul 2009 at 4:54 #
Hi!
Same problem as Klaus when I installed the plugin on WP2.8 site- I couldn’t add tags.
in addition, it also disabled my widgets such that I was unable to move or edit my widget boxes.
Hope it gets updated for WP2.8!

Great plugin, works does a nice job of checking SERPS quickly, unfortunatly it stops all my widgets from being drag n drop, once deactivated they functioned ok, using WP 2.8.4, hope you can fix the bug as this plugin has potential.

Josh responded on 15 Sep 2009 at 22:07 #
I’ve had some reports from users of my plugin that there is a conflict between my plugin and your plugin…
It seems as though your plugin is conflicting with the jQuery that is automatically loaded with WordPress by default. You may want to check into updating the plugin to use wp_enqueue_script(’jquery’); rather than force loading the script.

Will be waiting for the fix. Thanks.
