Getting how old the page is easily

Posted by sam on March 6th, 2008 View Comments
Posted in Uncategorized |

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:

google_advanced_search1.gif

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:

get_page_age11.gif

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.

    Nice tool idea.

    But the page age I am getting from the advanced search results is different to that the tool is giving me.

    Actually the tool has given me a couple of different dates for the same page (over a year difference)…

  • Janusz

    PPCBlogger: Can you give me examples of pages where its giving you different results? Cheers!

  • http://www.ppcblog.co.uk PPCblogger

    My homepage is an example. It was first indexed on the 11th July ’06.

    The tool does often throw back that date but its also given me 13th Sept ’05 and a number of others dates…

    Cheers.

  • Janusz

    PPCBlogger: Thanks for that. There was a bug and it just have been fixed. Please update to the latest version of the plugin and it should work smoothly.

    Hey – this isn’t exactly a comment about this post but I have a question about the CSV exports.

    There are codes for link type: -1, 0, 1 and 2 (i’m guessing nofollow, missing etc) as well as OBL which I don’t know what exactly these are.

  • Janusz

    Joel: Sorry for late reply and thanks for your question. I will need to put a FAQ page with all these information. Till then. -1 means that site was unavailable to check for link, 0 means the link is missing , 1 is good link, 2 is no-follow

  • Jim

    Just found this through an old SEL newsletter. great tool, thanks, it’s already thrown up some interesting results. Couple of questions if I may:

    1 – Do you know how Google determines page age? Couldn’t see anything in the http header.

    2 – Is the age the same as the date of the last change/refresh? That is, if I update a page will the date of that update become the new age of the page?

    Thanks again.

  • Janusz

    Jim: Its the date when Google first found the page. So for some cases it might not actually be when the page was created, but for most of the important pages its pretty accurate.

    Great tool! I was actually searching for something like this. Though it would be better to display the age in status bar rather than pop it up from context menu.

  • polna

    Hi, I just have download your tool and it looks like funny. I don’t have tested all the functionnalities yet but for the page Age, I don’t know how to translate when I got the message “Page age not detected” ?? What does it mean exactly ? Because it tell me that for some pages that youn can find on Google when you write in the research zone :

    site : http://www.urlwebsite.com

    Thanks for your answer !

  • http://no khan

    I have a slightly different problem:

    This happens many times.

    For example, I saw a webpage giving a press briefing ten days back. The statement was undated. When I asked the concerned Association about the date of the statement/briefing, they somehow realised that there was something wrong in the statement. The statement was immediately replaced with some other news item.

    I now desperately need to locate the contents of the previous webpage. Internet Archive does not have the version.

    1. Is there anyway I can still find that version?
    2. Can someone develop an add-on or other software to have this possibility in future?

    thanks

    p.s. you may reply on my email add:
