As well as sporadically updating this website with my thought spaghetti, I also have a couple other places on the internet I enjoy playing around.
https://www.basicbilliards.com – a pool education website where I try to verbalize all the nuances of the game. For beginner and intermediate pool players.
Past Projects
Aerial Advantages – My first ever website and foray into SEO was a drone aerial photography business based in New Hampshire. Although it no longer survives, the memory of Aerial Advantages lives in the annals of WebArchive.org.
Letter Library – a historical letter subscription service that sent a historical letter to subscribers twice per month. This was a fun one. There’s so much to learn from letters and incredible stories told by the people who wrote them.
Hacking Projects
Pixel Rank Tracker – This is a rank tracker that uses Puppeteer to crawl Google SERPs and records pixel rank of the most important SERP elements/features. It works on both desktop and mobile. For my proxy provider I used Trusted Proxies since they were really fast.
Indexation Tracker – This uses Scrapy and Crawlera to crawl Google without using JavaScript to check if URLs are indexed or not.
Non JS Rank Tracker – using JavaScript to crawl Google is great because you get a lot of info, but it’s many times more expensive than non JS crawls. This rank tracker can crawl Google without JS and give you exponentially more ranking data for far less cost.
SERP Screenshot Capturer – Using Puppeteer this tool can visit Google and take a screenshot capture of the SERP on either mobile or desktop.
Basic Search Console API Script – Search Console API is easy to use once you know how to use it, but some of the tutorials out there are confusing. This is an extremely simple GSC API call to make it easier to understand. No frills, thrills, or bills, just API goodness.
