Webmaster and SEO dashboard






i find myself constantly wanting to have one place as a jumping point for me to review all my website stuff and the way chrome does bookmarks makes it where clicking to this post is actually faster(at least for me). but i figure this is one place to start from then i don't have to go looking through all the bookmarks. ill add more items here as i find more tools that i find useful for SEOs and Webmasters

google testing a new layout for search

Google seems like they have a new flavor of search that they are testing (im assuming they are doing some A/B test for some percentage of users) and seeing how people like the new version. to see it for yourself go to google.com and paste this javascript into the address bar and refresh...

here is what you should see...

im just speculating but Google has just finished testing the new caffeine version of search so this may go along it. here is what the search feature looks like

aside from a cleaner, revamped logo there are little icons for the different types of search... images,video and news but also the ability to only search blogs or forums.

 the javascript code above saves a cookie so if you want to turn off this new version of search all you have to do is kill the PERF cookie for google.com and it will click back to normal... so thats the new layout they are testing ill be updating this article as i know more :)

Awesome Visual View of Google analytics data with Juice Analytics

so i was reading the google analytics blog as i often do and they have this awesome new tool for visualizing your websites analytics data and keywords so lets get into what these way cool tools do (the tool is here but read the article cuz i spent some time on it)


first at the bottom you get a timeline so you can see the volume of traffic your site has been receiving and colorize this ribbon timeline by bounce rate. its cool to be able to see how your content starts being read more or single view articles turn it more red

this is also cool because you can view what pages drive the most traffic and how the bounce rate changes from page to page (if your colorblind thats cool too they got a button to fix the contrast for yall)

you can see a little better here in this shot how the bounce rate changes from page to page and how some pages are much more popular then others. heres the little video that they put out to demonstrate the tool.



then they have this cool keyword visualization tool that shows keywords and how they relate to each other and a few different options to color by. i like either time spent on site or bounce rate to see what words seem to keep peoples interest longer or drive them away faster

you can see how some keywords are red and threw more bounces and then my linkbait for embedding your Google profile social icons and the Google profile badge have green text showing that they had visitors staying for a much longer period (this graph is colored by time on page) and again the cool demo video the juice guys put out



here is the link to the tool i hope you find it useful and liked the article... don't forget to re-tweet about it and let others know!

Twitter's Beta Testing ReTweeting


So i log into twitter the other day and i see this cool message... Im not sure how many people got the Beta of this but i thought id make a post about it and give what little info i know... here is the post twitter made on their blog. Theres been many hints that this is coming (im pretty sure it said something in the api docs) and its really needed i think it solves some of the problems with re-tweeting like usernames taking up space and such
but let me show you how it works...

you select to re-tweet to your followers and then it shows up in your stream like this...


you see this message in your stream with their username and the cool little re-tweet icon. then after you decide you dont like the message you can revert it with the click of a button


its that simple... ill add some more as i know more but i thought you would like the heads up!

edit: i found another site that has a few more screen shots here

looking into how hard it is to break a simple image CAPTCHA

CAPTCHA always seemed like it was a kind of one word challenge to me. it stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart and its what is the industry standard to try and keep my bot from scraping your web service or posting dirty comment spam but some are very crazy... even too hard for a human to read... and how hard are they really to break? I have done allot of reading about the theory of the CAPTCHA and tried to break one before (see as far as i got below i stopped at anti-alias rotating but segmentation and cleaning the image was done so i didn't have that much more)

partially broken captcha with rotated image and random lines
points to whoever can tell me where this captcha came from...



so for my second i wanted to choose an easy one. the CAPTCHA i choose had these features

  • image has changing static (easy to filter)
  • no letter rotation
  • fixed width font
  • pattern to solution (letter-number-letter-ect)
fixed width font is the worst offender on this list. it lets you eliminate the hardest part of breaking a test, its called segmentation and its hard, once you get it down to one letter tho OCR is normally accurate to like 97% but these bots are sending literally millions or requests so a captcha is considered broken if it can be solved even half the time. that brings me to the second problem with this test... i can validate my answers. because every phrase follows a letter number letter pattern i can check to see if my bot got the right answer without sending it. This is never good because it lets the attacker check their work but lets get into how i broke this one

The captcha i broke with 94% accuracy
(sample CAPTCHA with mouse-over effects)
the first thing that is meant to mess up a bot is the noise and theirs wasn't so good. first it didn't disrupt the letter that much AND if i requested the image again i got back the same riddle with different static. This let me make a filter to extract only the pixels that occur in both images giving me the clean letters. i have read about neural nets and used examples but never implemented my own so i decided to go with the easy way of guessing the letters. i created templates that represented the perfect symbol and them compared them byte by byte to determine which letter it was most like...

heres one of my templates for the number 5

111111101
110000001
110000101
110111001
111001101
000000111
000000111
110000111
011001101
001111001

heres what the program spits out while solving the test data...
I Guess its a Y with a 97.50 %
I Guess its a 8 with a 98.75 %
I Guess its a L with a 100.00 %
I Guess its a 2 with a 98.75 %
I Guess its a Q with a 100.00 %
I Guess its a 5 with a 100.00 %
I Guess its a G with a 98.75 %
I Guess its a 7 with a 97.50 %
I Guess its a Q with a 97.50 %
I Guess its a 6 with a 98.75 %
I Guess its a O with a 100.00 %
I Guess its a 8 with a 100.00 %
i was right! it was Y8L2Q5G7Q6O8
I Guess its a Y with a 97.50 %
I Guess its a 8 with a 98.75 %
I Guess its a L with a 100.00 %
I Guess its a 2 with a 98.75 %
I Guess its a Q with a 100.00 %
I Guess its a 5 with a 100.00 %
I Guess its a G with a 98.75 %
I Guess its a 7 with a 97.50 %
I Guess its a Q with a 97.50 %
I Guess its a 6 with a 98.75 %
I Guess its a O with a 100.00 %
I Guess its a 8 with a 100.00 %
i was right! it was Y8L2Q5G7Q6O8
(i cut out a bunch of them Google was saying that my site had relevance for the work "guess" oops :)
and at the end

i checked a total of 265 files with a success rate of 94.34 %


im very happy with its accuracy (especially because im not using neural net) below are some more screen shots from the app i made to look at the data and test my solver...


you can see above the program knows where the number 8 is because of fixed width font. this made it easy to extract just the letter to be analyzed

this is the training data input screen. the text box validates the input as valid solutions changing color when the pattern isn't followed so bad training data isn't entered by mistake


this was a very simple test to break and it had very weak security features that let even a simple attack defeat it with great accuracy. if you are interested in other poor captchas you may be interested in my post about text based math captchas and why they are so easy to bypass aswell.

i plan to be doing some more work with captcha breaking (ill probably step it up and take on one that needs a neural net) soon i wrote this code a few month ago and its been just sitting so i thought i would share what i learned and how simple it can be to break one of these. i don't like captchas because they are like locks on doors, they only keep the honest people out. bandwidth is getting cheaper and cheaper you should encourage people and companies to consume your services and learn to monetize the traffic not implement stupid little pictures that a good bot can read anyways that just waste the humans time as they are trying to figure out if its a 0 or a capitol O. id love to hear your thoughts on the subject and will respond if i can help so please take the time to write a comment if you have any questions

Awesome code syntax highlighting made easy

So ive finally come across an awesome syntax highlighter that i think will work well for most any application and it works well on Blogger Hosting which is even better. It uses a flash swf to do a click to copy button and has support for a variety of languages as well as a bunch of themes

here is the code you need to drop right before your <head> tag in the HTML of your blogger template (or wherever you may find yourself in a need of a syntax highlighter). just remove any lines for languages you don't use...

<link href='http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/2.1.364/styles/shCore.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/> 

<link href='http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/2.1.364/styles/shThemeDefault.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>

<script src='http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/2.1.364/scripts/shCore.js' type='text/javascript'></script>

<script src='http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/2.1.364/scripts/shBrushCpp.js' type='text/javascript'></script>

<script src='http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/2.1.364/scripts/shBrushPerl.js' type='text/javascript'></script>

<script language='javascript'>

SyntaxHighlighter.config.bloggerMode = true;

SyntaxHighlighter.config.clipboardSwf = 'http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/2.1.364/scripts/clipboard.swf';

SyntaxHighlighter.all();

</script>


and a little about how to use it...
you can use a special <script> tag with CDATA around it

<script type="syntaxhighlighter" class="brush: html"><![CDATA[

<html>

<head>

<title>Carter Tomorrow Fund Donations</title>

<meta name="title" content="Help Give to the Carter Tomorrow Fund" />

<meta name="description" content="Show your support and help out with a small gift"

]]></script>

- or -

you can use a <Pre> tag with html escaped characters
heres a quick way to escape your html


this is my way cool theme switcher... just click the css theme below to see how it looks (you will need to change the second line that imports the style sheet to use the filename you want to use from below)

Google to join the Twitter bandwagon and Yahoo, Bing

edit: ok so bing already kinda has a twitter search that it plans to improve on but like Google tweets still aren't on main results page but Yahoo (who props to them i like their new stuff) plans to change that announcing that they will be showing tweets in results soon this will hopefully help yahoo gain some ground back as they are struggling keeping their part of the search pie. Google social search experiment is the closest thing google has for social media search so far



the title says it all i was reading my daily rss and this clicked across...
Official Google Blog: RT @google: Tweets and updates and search, oh my!

so Google is going to be joining the twitter bandwagon. but wheres the link? Bing looks like they are ahead of the game already with their Bing Twitter Search it has a small tag cloud but little more im sure google will do it better with longer history but i wonder if we will see ReTweet tools built into searches with the ability to pass oAuth to Twitter and tweet from inside our searches. if it was an unobtrusive menue id think it was great. what are your thoughts?

google easter eggs list... secrets of search, reader, picasca and more

Edit II:
happy Halloween!
We have a new easter egg hidden in Google now for Halloween its at the bottom of the robots.txt hook here at

Bottom of Google's robots.txt (google changed it back this is a mirror) you can also see google's robots.txt change log

Disallow: /voice/media/

Edit:
there wasn't much meat to the post so i thought id add some more easter eggs i was able to round up. programmers will leave little tricks or games hidden in the code. eventually through word of mouth these secret codes get released and become part of public knowledge. Google as a bunch of hidden secrets here are just a few...

Here are a bunch of different flavors of Google search
Some neat things for the calculator to tell you
Google search for ascii art (ascii google logo)

Google search for recursion

if you unlike it breaks your heart

but if you do like it you get bunches of love :)
and a cool ninja



if anybody knows any other google easter eggs id love to add them to this list

Google wave | pleading to get one of those invites on sep 30th

edit:

you may be interested in the invites i have to wave

If you havent heard of google wave then watch this http://wave.google.com/ (i know its long but it is worth the time). wave is the end all of collaboration tools and will make taking notes at meetings and at school so much easier as well as cool games and other uses we haven't even thought of yet. it has realtime translation as well as awesome bots and controls that lets you extend the hell out of the thing and link it with almost anything you can think of, it tracks history of the wave and allows for multiple users to be editing the same page at the same time. SO i definatly signed up my apps domain as well as my email address to the forms i found to try and get invites

these are the three ways you can sign up to a google wave invite

here they are for you:

google wave dev invite
google wave app invite
wave signup for single users


and the unofficial ill help and give out some of my google wave invites is
http://googlewaveinvites.com/ it gets you connected with those that do
(they wont be giving away invites to new users)

so this is my intro about what wave is and the second half (the one thats starting now) is me begging google to let me be part of those 100,000 users that will get accounts 2 days from now (september 30th). but what diffrent about me than the other people scrambling for accounts? i needed something to set me apart, so i started thinking about something i could build that would leverage the technology and be something that could increase awareness and promote the service (flattery should help get me in that group right? i hope :) well heres the ideas (leave comments let me know if you have others)

1) madlibs on wave

madlibs are little stories with missing nouns, verbs, other parts of speech that make little funny stories as you fill them in. so madlibs in a wave would allow everyone to be changing editing each others words until they have created the perfect madlib then like they did in the IO video (i did watch whole thing x2) it can remove all the comments / editing parts and become a new wave that is the completed story. This uses the group collabaration ideas as well as creating finished documents.

2) commentary on hulu

this idea is a little less developed but basically embed hulu shows into a page and have the wave at the bottom. the individual or group if they start at same time (still iffy on how to keep time synced but) you can comment on the show as your watching it and then using the replay functionality replay / share your commentary on the episode with the world. kinda like a social mystery science theater

3) collaborative embeddable lists for sites / blogs

pretty self explanatory

4) somehow have an entire blog post as a wave

i use blogger so i know i can embed into posts but i dont know how an embeded wave would behave in rss. i might be able to make some bot that syncs the post text to the wave but thats kinda not clean to me so i got to keep thinking

5) note sharing website

i want to make a website to make it easy to share notes with groups of people and organize them (this is how ill make it the rest of the way through college)


please let a wave invite fly into my gmail on the 30th id be a great beta guy (like i did for aviary) help report bugs / ideas and code as a developer open source to help make it a good tool for everyone. i have already run into customers who love the gallery embeddable widgets and i really like to be able to test it while taking notes in meetings.

some screen shots of wave:

google profile icon gadget | show off your social bookmarks

so I love Google and one of the cool things i have found now is Google profiles (if you haven't made one yet get on that). i wanted to be able to put my string of social bookmarks into a page. the explanation is below but heres the code to use the script along with some examples

you may also be interested in the other widget i made to embed a google profile badge

Carter Cole

<script src="http://cartercole.com/gpicons.asp?user=[user]&width=[100]&limit=[5]"></script>

Matt Cutts <script src="http://cartercole.com/gpicons.asp?user=mattcutts"></script>

Tim O'Reilly (limit = 5) <script src="http://cartercole.com/gpicons.asp?user=timoreilly&limit=5><"/script>

Jeff Huber (width = 100) <script src="http://cartercole.com/gpicons.asp?user=jhuber&width=100"></script>

i also did css classes on each element (you may need the css !important)

image class = "google-profile-img"

anchor class = "google-profile-link"

wrapper div = "google-profile-gadget"

i think one of the best features is the links and reader uses your profile links see?

i have all my profiles linked to from there but i wanted to be able to embed them into pages(like google reader did). rather than trying to fight and get the data from google i decided to go about the problem myself. First i thought i was going to have to do parsing and checking to find the right favorite icon but then i found that google had done my work for me(thanks). you can do this...

http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=[domain]

http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=wellsfargo.com

http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=seomoz.com

http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=pipes.yahoo.com

so then i made a asp page to spit out some js to write the icons...
there are 3 optional parameters
  1. user=username (this is the last part of the profile url)
    http://www.google.com/profiles/Carter.Cole
    (if you dont set a user it uses mine)
  2. limit=number (this sets the number of icons that the script should spit out) [default is 100]
  3. width=number (this is used to make the icons show up in a block) [its the div width that holds the icons]

please let me know if you have any questions / comments / concerns id love to hear from you

googles picasa facial recognition works perfect

I just installed Picasa and I saw the post about facial recognition so i am testing it out. It works perfectly but all I want to know is how do I mash it with Facebook? Check this out



its detecting my face and is trained once I give it hints of the new angles of my face. I have always hated the repetitiveness of tagging and wanted to hook facial recognition into Facebook for awhile and ill I am asking Google is how I can do it with this code? Is it open source? Or can Google let me borrow the code so I can do it? It’s such an awesome technology and with all the data becoming open it’s so fun for me to be a developer right now. It’s obvious that the Picasa facial recognition is superior. I know dealing with the privacy of facial recognition on a social media site will be difficult but nothing worse than that town that kicked out the street view car right? Who would I even talk to at Google for that?I guess ill tweet at @mattcutts ill bet he can point me in the right direction. God I love web 2.0, social media,viral marketing,twitter world that we live in now woohoo

I love mashups | some cool stuff i did with yahoo pipes and cameroid

So i wanted to take some pictures with my built in webcam and i started to write my own in flash but then i thought to myself, self i bet theres already one that exists and you know what? i was right. check out http://cameroid.com/. heres the gallery im scraping using pipe



its got some pretty neat features like distort and other filters but it was missing one thing. a strong username / api for the system, not even a rss feed so i decided to make one. I had just found this crazy thing yahoo pipes
so i went to work to make a rss feed with my images. I made a pipe that just pulled the images for a single page. then i used a loop to have it run through the first 15 pages of the user gallery i set with the pipe. now the pipe sends out clean rss with my cameroid pictures in historical order perfect for me to plug into friend feed. awesome another social mashup under my belt
