Help For Visitors From Google

Thanks to the girls (and guys) over at Scripty Goddess, I found this great little tool, MT RefSearch.

Basically, by adding a php include to your site, people from Google are presented with links to the entries that contain the text they are looking for. It takes a little bit of configuring, but it's super easy to do and very quick to implement.

You can see it in action by going here and clicking on this first link.

Eliot did an excellent job on this and I commend him highly. =)

I am having some problems. Since we are hosted at the same place can you tell me what you put in the file where you put server= ?

I tried my own domain and localhost but neither seem to work.

Thanks!

that is tight... I'm gonna have to go home and implement it (although I'm scared that I have so much php going on at my site that people won't link the load lag!)
