Brad Choate's blog uses referral data in a really clever way. Search Google like so:
http://www.google.com/search?q=trackback+movable+type
Look for the item entitled [brad choate dot com] MT TrackBack -- it's a few screens down, if you're set to 10 items per screen.
Or was. After posting this item, I rechecked and couldn't find it. The non-repeatability of these Google-related demonstrations is frustrating.
Anyway, on visiting that URL, the blog reported:
Instant Search
It appears you arrived here from a search engine. Here's few results from a search of my site for the keywords ' trackback movable type':
- July 20, 2002 - MeFi does TrackBack
- June 27, 2002 - MT TrackBack
- June 27, 2002 - MovableType 2.2
In other words, it searched itself (using Atomz, in this case, I believe) and expanded the Google query within its local space. Nice!
Elsewhere , Brad reports that Eliot Landrum's MT-RefSearch does something similar for a PHP/MySQL-powered blog.
