To get backlinks and indexed page count from Google most webmasters use scrapping Google search page. It is not a good idea because it fails some time and very slow.
So we can use Google Ajax search API instead of scrapping whole page. It will return data in JSON object which is much smaller then html page.
Although Ajax search API is rate limited to 100 queries per IP per Day but still it’s a good way.
PHP code to get Google backlinks count
<?
function GoogleBL($domain){
$url="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q=link:".$domain."&filter=0";
$ch=curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
$json = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$data=json_decode($json,true);
if($data['responseStatus']==200)
return $data['responseData']['cursor']['resultCount'];
else
return false;
}
?>
PHP code to get Google Indexed Page count
<?
function GoogleIP($domain){
$url="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q=site:".$domain."&filter=0";
$ch=curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
$json = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$data=json_decode($json,true);
if($data['responseStatus']==200)
return $data['responseData']['cursor']['resultCount'];
else
return false;
}
?>
How to use?
Both function take domain name as parameter and will return backlink or indexed page count on success or Boolean false on error.
<? $domain="toolspot.org"; //your domain name echo GoogleBL($domain); //get backlinks echo GoogleIP($domain); //get indexed page ?>
BackLinks are not working, might be version needs to be changed

$url=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q=link:”.$domain.”&filter=0″;
$ch=curl_init(); // cURL started here
