Google All In Title Tool
I've added a new API tool to the site, based first upon a request from Jill and then a request or two from members of her forum. The new tool is simply a quick way to get an idea of competition a site may have by allowing you to run an All In Title search on Google. Just like using the normal operand on Google, except the tool allows you to load it with multiple keyword phrases and get them all reported at once.
The new Google All In Title tool uses their old SOAP API of course. I'm not about to release a tool into the wild that scrapes their results like some others seem to do all too often. If you have one of the old SOAP API license keys please plug it into the tool so that the queries will count against it. If you don't have one you can't get one anymore, so the tool will attempt to my Google SOAP API key.
Remember though, Google API licenses are limited to 1,000 queries per day and mine gets used by a few tools when someone else doesn't have one. So if the tool errors out it's probably simply that the license queries are used up for the day. Be nice if you have a license key. Use your own so that others who can't get a license anymore can get the data they want by using mine.
The tool is pretty self explanatory. Simply put a semi-colon after each keyword phrase so that the tool knows where one ends and the next begins. And after you've run you're query download the CSV file of your query to refer back to later, rather than having to run your phrases through the tool again later.
Enjoy!
