I like being able to check my rankings real quickly without worrying that some SEO company will want to charge me to do exactly the same as I can do with this fantastic open source tool. However, this tool is only available as an addon for Mozilla Firefox. So all you IE users out there, get a copy of Firefox on your system and take advantage of this fre website ranking tool.
If you have never actually tested the ranking for your website, but you do know that it propbaly could do better, this tool is for you. When you test your ranking on sites you know very well this free rank checker can help you:
- learn how to read the search results
- appreciate and understand general algorithmic trends
- be one of the first people to know when the relevancy algorithms change in a major way
Here is what the guys at SEOTools Rank Checker say about their rank checker:
This tool is designed to be quick and easy to use, but to also give you the opportunity to gain the level of insight needed to compete with other SEOs at the professional level.
- If your site is not listed in the top 200 results you will see a - (there are a few of them in the above picture).
- If you have long URLs and/or long keywords some of them may be cut off in the results display. If that happens you can still see the full page names and keywords by scrolling over them.
- You can verify your position in the search results by double clicking on the URL…this will open the associated search results in Firefox.
- If you are logged into your Google account in Firefox this tool will show you personalized ranking results (which tend to make the rankings appear better than they are in many cases). If you want to, you can turn personalized web search off in the Rank Checker options / preference settings window
Ok, nows the time to go and check it out for yourself: SEOTools Rank Checker
