This is a command line script, not a php page to open in a browser.

The script probably doesn’t work now that Google has updated it’s user-interface. It’s an ok skeleton though…you can modify it easily.

No idea why it would be impacting the results…the placement of the ads may have something to do with it. Or there might be a subtle template issue where the template returned is different for num=100

Canton,

That’s strange. The only thing I can think is that they have a different html template to render long pages or maybe the way they do advertising on those pages is different. Also keep in mind that the way ads are served to this script may be different than the way you would see them in the browser do to a variety of ranking adjustments Google does based on your cookie.

And here’s a kind of funny thing…

When I type ’santa fe web design’ into google, cantonbecker.com comes up #7

But this script reports it as #13

But if I go into the script and remove the &num=100 from the query string, then it reports it correctly.

Any idea why the &num=100 would be impacting the response google gives? Weird!

Just tried to run this script on my FC9 server.
Nothing happens when I load checkRank.php in my Firefox 9. — rather the page does not load …. I just see “waiting ….” message in the status bar.

No errors in apache logs.
