Yay, I was bored and coded a little plugin to retrieve the google results counter. Just put your query between [ googlecount]here[/googlecount] and that’s it. This can be funny or usefull – i guess
Here’s an example:
I guess I’m quite famous because google finds [googlecount]biophonc[/googlecount] Results on »biophonc«. Today there are 1430 results. If the current result is higher than 1430 – I am more famous than the other day
– otherwise I’m loosing fame
– However ‘m not linked by that much sites (18 results atm with this query »site: aint-no-soul.com«) but I’m looking forward and hopefully the current result is higher: [googlecount]site: aint-no-soul.com[/googlecount] (is it? I don’t know it yet
)
Technical note:
The plugin uses curl, so it is likely that you don’t have it on your local apache installed – however: most provider have it enabled/configured with.
Download:
The current version is 0.3 and I’d call it stable.
Installation:
Upload it to your plugin dir, activate it from the backend and it should work.

Does it use proxy? Google will ban your server IP address if it makes too many searches…
No, it uses no proxy, because I was not aware of such limitation. Is it true? … I don’t know. Could be,… but what ist the definition of ‘too many’ ? 10000/day? If you have any information, please let me know.
