A fantastic addition the linkdiagnosis plugin which now allows you to right-click a page and see when Google first found it. Essential stuff!

This is a great tool that gives a good view of what steps need to be taken to out edge competition.

Thank you again for taking the time to code the programming.

We all appreciate your efforts.

I'd love to have such a tool, but the date filter in Google is an extremely unreliable source of data, so anything that builds on it will inevitably be unreliable (to the point of being useless).

When is the last time you saw anything statistically reliable from Google? Throw this one on the heap with link:, site:, related:,cache:, last crawl date, etc.

sza:
the accuracy of the data relies on the importance of the page. Choose a random blog post on the web where the published date is and you will see how accurate it is. Of course, if you are looking at some old page that wasn't very popular  then you will get inaccuracies.

Try using it on this page. The plugin will tell you its 9 hours ago. Whereas its 10 hours old. Is it inaccurate? :)

Forcer, I retract what I said.

I was basing my opinion about the date filter on how it worked when Matt Cutts was promoting it some time ago. Back then, it was a pile of crap for any site I know intimately.

I checked again, and actually it works now.

Firefox always have something for us. Will try this. It's helpful.
