Student-created SEO Plugin for the FLOSS community


Recently, the open source Piwik community acknowledged the contribution of our student Victor Dibia (MSIN, AIT 2010). Congrats Victor !
Victor created an open source SEO plugin for the Piwik open source web analytics system, in the course of his Independent study titled: “Web Analytics: Application of Google Analytics API in developing a custom Analytics plug-in”, during Spring semester 2010 (with supervisors Prof. Gregory Yovanof and myself). This new Dashboard Widget displays the website's PageRank, Yahoo Backlinks, number of indexes pages, Alexa rank and the domain age, for the website URL recorded in Piwik. Victor's blog provides all the details that you need in order to use this free online tool.

Piwik is an open source real time web analytics software, that can be installed for free on your website or blog (for further details see the online demo via piwik website). The Piwik system, written in PHP and licensed under GPL, aims to be an open source alternative to Google Analytics.
