Google organic result order and page-by-page reading
| Rank and domain | Google title and URL | Browser status / attempts | What the readable page body says |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Newegg | Exclusive Military Offer: Save 10% with Promo Code https://promotions.newegg.com/sheerID/16-7106/ | Opened directly in Playwright, waited five seconds, body readable. | Newegg asks users to verify military service and says a 10% code is provided. The same body states the offer expired November 19, 2016, and ends with “PROMOTION HAS EXPIRED.” Historical only. |
| 2 · ID.me | Newegg Discounts and Cash Back for Everyone https://shop.id.me/stores/2794-newegg | Direct browser open returned HTTP 403. Waited five seconds and a further fifteen seconds; Cloudflare still displayed “security verification.” Ctrl-clicking the Google result opened the same page; after five seconds it remained at the Cloudflare verification screen. Body unreadable. | Unknown. Google snippets were not substituted for the page body. |
| 3 · Reddit | Newegg has a 10% military discount guys! : r/AirForce https://www.reddit.com/r/AirForce/comments/2m56hh/newegg_has_a_10_military_discount_guys/ | Direct browser open returned HTTP 403 with “blocked by network security” and a request to log in or use a developer token. Ctrl-click from Google opened a blank tab; after five seconds the page remained blank and body evaluation timed out after 90 seconds. Body unreadable. | Unknown. No login or developer token was used; no snippet substituted. |
| 4 · Military.com | Newegg Military Discounts https://www.military.com/discounts/newegg/ | Direct browser navigation with trailing slash returned ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR. Ctrl-click from Google opened https://www.military.com/discounts/newegg; body readable. | The page says, “No discounts currently available from this merchant.” This is a current directory report, not a Newegg first-party policy. |
| 5 · Facebook | Newegg Military Discount Policy https://www.facebook.com/fb-answers/newegg-military-discount-policy/ | Opened directly in the browser; page body readable. | The page includes a Meta AI summary, which was excluded. Readable user posts show a Pennsylvania sales-tax notice and a buyer asking about military discounts for a gaming PC; they do not provide a Newegg military offer. The originating post date was not visible. |
| 6 · WeSalute | Newegg US Military Discount | Earn Cash Back at Newegg https://www.wesalute.com/offer/bh416366790524-newegg-us?g=military | Opened directly in Playwright and read. | The public page routes Newegg redemption through the WeSalute+ private marketplace. It says plans start at $9.99 monthly and instructions appear after sign-in. The Newegg-specific rate and product scope are not public. |
| 7 · Newegg | Happy Veteran’s Day: Special Veterans-Only Savings Google displayed a tracking parameter; the body was opened at the canonical path without that parameter. | Opened directly in Playwright, waited five seconds, body readable. | Newegg’s November 10, 2015 blog describes a Veterans Day promotion for veterans: a one-time 10% code up to $20 through SheerID. Historical, not a current offer. |
| 8 · WorthEPenny | Newegg Military & Veteran Discounts https://newegg.worthepenny.com/military-discounts/ | Direct browser navigation timed out after thirty seconds twice; the second attempt closed the target context. Ctrl-clicking the Google result opened the page, and the body was readable after five seconds. | The page says there is no official Newegg military program, then lists general coupon codes, including one described as coming from Reddit. WorthEPenny states it may earn commissions. Coupon listings are not merchant military terms. |
| 9 · ID.me | Does Newegg Have Military Discounts? https://shop.id.me/discounts/2794-newegg/military | Direct browser open returned HTTP 403. After five seconds and again after Ctrl-clicking the Google result and waiting five seconds, Cloudflare still displayed “security verification.” Body unreadable. | Unknown. Search result snippets were not used. |
Published guide and block-level originality calculation
Final rendered guide word count is 545 substantive English tokens. The tokenizer counts English terms and numeric values. H1/H2 headings, publication/review dates, source-only navigation, figure alt text and the source audit page are excluded. Paragraphs and table rows are independent blocks; repeated explanations remain in the denominator. A block receives SERP credit only when its central claim and method are absent from every readable result body. The three inaccessible results contribute zero credit and are not treated as absent.
| Block | Words | SERP-exclusive? | Site-new? | Reason / input |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First-screen answer | 73 | 0 | 73 | Answer repeats readable historical offer, Military.com status, and WeSalute public route facts; no Newegg guide previously exists on SaluteScout. |
| Six evidence-table rows | 172 | 0 | 172 | Each row overlaps its corresponding readable page or records Unknown for an unreadable ID.me page; target-specific evidence is new to the site. |
| Date-and-route reconciliation method | 90 | 90 | 0 | Cross-source classification by publisher, date and redemption route does not appear as a method in the six readable result bodies; generic source-scope comparison already appears in SaluteScout’s electronics hub. |
| WeSalute public facts | 30 | 0 | 30 | Facts overlap the readable WeSalute body; the Newegg-specific rate and route are new to the site. |
| Paid-route break-even method | 119 | 119 | 0 | Fee divided by a verified discount rate, using the offer-defined eligible base, is absent from readable result bodies. Site increment conservatively excludes it because adjacent membership arithmetic exists on the warehouse hub. |
| Facebook question and answer | 61 | 0 | 61 | Answer and page context overlap the readable Facebook result; this specific Newegg question and Unknown boundary are new to SaluteScout. |
| Total | 545 | 209 | 336 | SERP: (90 + 119) / 545 = 38.3%. Site: (73 + 172 + 30 + 61) / 545 = 61.7%. |
Coverage boundary: 6 of 9 result bodies were readable; the ID.me store, Reddit and ID.me military FAQ bodies remain Unknown. No complete-nine-body certification is claimed. The article does not use their snippets or summaries as absence evidence. Site comparison read the live home page, electronics comparison, and warehouse-membership comparison; the public sitemap had 179 URLs and no Newegg guide before this deployment.
Source boundaries for the Newegg answer
- The two Newegg-owned offers are dated 2015 and 2016; both are historical. No current universal Newegg percentage is confirmed by these pages.
- Military.com’s live page is a directory report. WeSalute is a private member route with a public starting fee but hidden Newegg-specific terms.
- WorthEPenny is a third-party coupon publisher with an affiliate disclosure. Facebook includes a Meta AI summary, which is not used; its human posts do not provide merchant terms.
- Both ID.me page bodies and the Reddit page remain Unknown after browser attempts described above.
- Search-volume value 590 is user-provided queue metadata. It is not included in the page, image, video or source claims.
