Bulk Social Media Analyzer + Author Finder – Featured Tool of the Week

This week I am happy to feature a coolest tool in our tools column: Analyze Social Signals and Google Authorship for the List of URLs – Free Tool

It’s simple to use but has some awesome functionality: provide the list of URLs, wait a bit and enjoy:

Page-specific social media numbers:

• Number of Facebook shares, comments and comments (as well as total) for each one


• Number of Tweets


• Number of Google plus ones

The tool will also find a verified author of each page and even find that author on Twitter, Facebook and Google plus. It won’t stop there and fetch social media following for each author.

Author-specific information:

• Links to social media accounts of each author


• Number of Twitter followers of each author


• Number of Facebook friends of each author


• Number Google Plus circles each author is in.

How cool is that!

You can also export the whole chart in a handy clickable HTML file!

Google, Bing, Amazon, Youtube Keyword Suggest Tool: Featured Tool of the Week

A couple of weeks ago we made our favorite collection of tools public at SEOchat. From now on, I am going to feature one tool a week to bring up all the glory of that section.

Today’s featured tool: Google, Bing, Amazon, Youtube Keyword Suggest Tool

The tool collects as-you-type “suggestions” you would see each time you use any of the above search engines – and to expand the list, it also tries to add each letter of the alphabet after your core keyword for you to have a huge list of phrases.

The great thing about the tool is the different nature of search engines that are included. With it, you can see:

• General search results people tend to type in Google and Bing when starting a search with your core query


• More commercial results they search for in Amazon


• More entertaining results they type into Youtube search engines.

Keeping that in mind, the Suggest tool can become a huge brainstorming help (just scrolling through results will give you lots of content ideas)! It can give you come local content ideas as well:

To navigate the results, click any letter on top of the list.

You can also select any key phrases and run “part two” of the tool that will expand those phrases for you even further:

You can select any phrases and get CPC and search volume for those in “Part 3″ of the tool:

Lastly, you can export your final keyword list to keep it for the reference or send to your content team.

If you notice any bugs or have any ideas on how to improve the tool, please use “Feedback” button.

Google Keyword Data Goes Missing Again, This Time From Webmaster Tools

Google Webmaster Tools is missing keywords data. It appears as though search query data from the Search Traffic section hasn't been recorded since last Monday, September 23, the same day Google launched secure search for all searches.

It’s Like Google Reads My Mind!

Like really, how did they know?

Dark Patterns: dirty tricks designers use to make people do stuff

An article on dirty tricks in design. One interesting tidbit plucked from the comments:

You could pick pretty much any element of the Ryanair website, but a particular favourite of mine, if you could call it that, is the way they subtly force you to buy travel insurance. The question is labelled as “Buy Axa travel insurance”, but the select field has a default value of “select country of residence”.

Buried in the middle of the options, which are almost in alphabetical order, is the option “No travel insurance required” – between Latvia and Lithuania!

I ran some usability testing with this site and a number of similar sites for a client of mine (not Ryanair) and almost every participant simply accepted they had to buy travel insurance, because they were blind to this option.

Horrendous, immoral, but quite clever at the same time…

The other ones are certainly worth a look too. Got any favorites?

The Hypocrisy is Truly Amazing

Don’t you hate assholes that go around touting how they are morally superior to you?

Like priests that tell their flock how to follow God’s Path while molesting teenage boys on the side. Or like a company that says “Don’t be evil”, and then shows every day that evil is in their DNA.

The latest example is the release of a 0-day exploit on Microsoft (don’t miss the comment section there either, it’s priceless):

Google has been the loudest proponent for responsible disclosure in the past. But if you look at the dates in his post, he says he reported it to Microsoft on the 5th of June (a Saturday), who responded the same day. He sent the advisory early in the morning today the 10th of June – meaning Google gave Microsoft less than 5 days to fix it. Even Mozilla backed down from 10 day turn around, and they’re only running a single software suite. How is that possibly reasonable to expect a company like MS to turn around a patch in 4-5 days and then get so upset that then you must go full disclosure? And it’s not like Tavis was acting on his own – he credits other security researchers inside of Google for their help. So apparently it’s okay for Google to go full disclosure, but not for other researchers. The hypocrisy is amazing.

Yes. The hypocrisy is truly amazing. But it’s no longer even remotely surprising.
