Librarian in Black Blog – Sarah Houghton

Phil Bradley points us to Zippy, a metasearch engine for webmasters. This UK-based company has a lot of options for getting information about websites: straight domain name information, a site comparison tool, and a search (that takes a while to run) comparing the top 10 site results for keyword searches.  The results give a lot of information about the domains: site age, IP, backlinks, deeplinks, indexed pages, last updated date, and more.  I was disappointed that they didn’t include Ask.com in the list of engines they compare (Google, Yahoo!, Technorati, MSN, Alexa).

What it’s most useful for, and Phil and I agree on this, is for webmasters wanting to know more about their own websites.  How do you look to the outside world?  How do your competitors look?
