Google Tips and Tricks

Google spoofs and Google hacks are a fun and can often be used as a way of looking at and analyze the results from the world's most popular search engine; some also provide you with a quicker way of finding just what you are looking for as well as comparing results for different sites. Considering the amount of knowledge and effort it takes to get decent rankings on Google, anything that can save us some time is worth looking at.

You may find that some of the Google hacks and spoofs below are more for a laugh and won't yield very much in terms of useful data, but nonetheless… have some fun! It's not all about being serious.

1) Google fight

Enter the two keywords and find the number of results for two competing keywords or phrases.

2) Google Rankings

Great tool to quickly find out where you are in the Google index for a particular keyword. Just enter in your URL along with the keyword or search phrase and let the Google hack do its job. You can search up to the top 1000.

3) Google Dance Tool

This tool lets you compare your rankings on the different servers and is especially handy if you'd like to get a preview of where your site will end up in the new index once the Google Dance is done. Too late to make any changes, but it's nice to know as to what to expect. By using the Google Dance Tool, you can easily determine if Google has started their monthly spidering of the internet. Type in a keyword you would like to search for and choose some of Google's data centers to perform the search query on.

4) Soople

One of the newer Google spoofs on the block. Soople offers several different interfaces that take advantage of the Google search engine. There you can search by filetypes specified by radio-button, do stock searches or image searches, and search for definitions. Use the links at the top of the page to find more in-depth search forms for calculators, a translator, phone number search, and a "superfilter" that looks a lot like the advanced search form.
