I've read hundreds of posts asking a simple question.

"How do I know where a Comment is Posted on my Site if I have thousands of Pages?"

That question was also my main question and when I saw nothing offered by Google to monitor where and when a comment might be made to my sites I got busy and started designing a tool that will work for me.

If you have an active website written in ASP I can supply you with the API connection script.
I'm working on the PHP version and should have a few Volunteers help with other versions.

I'm still in BETA 1 testing but I can show you how much I have achieved in the 4 hours of 500 cpm coding and the 6 hours of code design and planning.

First of all visit the RSS Live Feeds of the SideWiki.
This is the heart of all for the tracking of comments and reporting of spammers.

This RSS Feed page will show you the sites running my SideWiki Comment Tracking API.

This page will be updated often and the database purged during testing but you can see how things will be shown or handled.

Google claims that the SideWiki shuts down on Secured connections and I do have the script to Disallow any pages under SSL but during my Beta 1 phase I'm tracking all pages that the Google Toolbar is active or detected.

The next process that my SideWiki comment tracker does is monitor the IP connections to Page.

Now, if you are like most webmasters, SEO's and Coders your pages might have so many different names or the URL's might be longer than what we see as standard I had to shorten all URLs with a little script I made.

The Small or Shortened URL is very helpful in two ways.
One, it's easier to retype a short URL.
You can forward this URL via your Twitter for Live Updates.

I'll have a demo page of how you can send data in realtime the "Who, Where, When" of SideWiki Comment Posting.

The Visitor or in this case the Beta Testers page shows more information about the person visiting the site.

The key is to know where a post was made so you don't have to worry and search thousands of pages.

Here's the Example RSS Feed that reports When, Where, Who regarding the SideWiki Comment Posting.

My SideWiki Comment Tracker is an open project at this time and I do hope to see others sign up for beta testing with me.
