Well, after some development an initial version of g-metrics.com is on-line!

What it basically does is to keep track of the “googlecount” of various terms. If you register, you can add your terms too in the database, and watch their googlecount as it changes from day to day.

The “google query” string can be anything (I think) you would use in the google search box. So, one could keep track of the number of links to a page (by using “link:www.domain.com/page”), in addition to a “normal” search…

There is much to be done, much to improve, but … well.. it works!

I am in the middle of an interesting idea on how to use the Google WEB APIs. It’s not anything ground-breaking, but I think many will like it.

The problem is that the application I have in mind may need (depending on how many people use it) to perform a lot of queries to google trough their WEB API. I contacted them (google) but they need to see exactly what my site will look like… I guess I’ll have to wait a couple of days…
