Linkdiagnosis.com – blog

For anyone who doesn’t know there is a date filter on Google which brings you only results that were created within the last xx period. See screenshot:

When you use that filter and see the search result pages then you will see that under every listing there is a date which shows you when Google saw that page for the first time. We can then use this information to find how old the page is if we craft the query to include the url of the page we are interested in.

inurl:http://blog.linkdiagnosis.com/?p=16

For that query it returns the date when my blog post about Amazon was created – 15 February 2008 – which is spot on.

Now to make it even easier to get the age of the page I have created a new feature to Link Diagnosis Firefox Extension.

Install the extension and you will be able to find out the age of the page with one click.

See the screenshot below:

Enjoy!

P.S Don’t do many queries at once otherwise Google will ban you (for me after about 70 inurl commands with 1 sec delay). If anybody has any tips how to prevent that from happening, then please let me know and I will code the age of the page to the main report so you can see both metrics – pagerank and age together.
