Playing with Google's Checksum & Features

Feb 15, 2006 - 8:21 am 0 by

There is a fun thread at WebmasterWorld which documents a little on how you can play around with Google's checksum.

- http://66.249.93.99/search?client=navclient-auto&ch=61430512534&q=www.webmasterworld.com gives you some data about WebmasterWorld.

- You can add to the URL string &features=Rank and get some PageRank information.

- That is not all, why not try some of these variables:

But how do you get the "ch=" (i.e. checksum value) for your domain name? Go to the domain name in your browser and then check your cookies for the value, replace the domain name and ch= number with the appropriate information.
