Search engine stats

[alexanderadam]

It's obviously not the same as #84, but might be a great thing anyway.

It seems that Google referrers have some interesting information encoded.

For instance result position, whether it came from web or google app etc.
I'm sure that even the result position alone will be interesting for some. What do you thing of a stats that says something like "Median/Min/Max/Avg Google Ranking" or so?
This example comes from StackOverflow:

scheme : http
netloc : www.google.sk
path : /url
params :
query :
    usg : AFQjCNHAZhWGZeIoJGtAOoSgSG25l4Hyqw
    ei : WastU8_WMI-O7QautoCYBg
    rct : j
    ved : 0CFgQFjAK
    VisitEventDescriptor (ved):
        result_position : 10
        index_boost : 88
        type : web (22)
    cd : 11
    source : web
    sqi : 2
    esrc : s

There's an older reference implementation in Python on GitHub and a few blog posts on that topic.

It seems that you will Protobuf for this but luckily there are already some Protobuf things on GitHub:
