How to determine current search engine position

[jfrizelle]

Hi all,

Just wondering what tools does anyone use to determine their current search engine position for various keywords?

Many thanks,
J.

Well...there's always the search engines themsleves to find that answer. Just be sure you don't have any browser toolbars installed that remember your search history.

Also, if you have a Google webmaster tools account you can look at a dashboard that shows position in Google for specific keywords.

There are ad ons for Firefox and other tools that can do this work, but I think these tools/add-ons are not safe to use as they send automated queries to Google, which Google do not like.

I personally check 2-3 KWs, so I do that manually via searching in Google.

the best that I've found

Free Monitor for Google - Web ranking and SEO software, website promotion, search engine optimization tools - CleverStat.com

Just do not overuse it, and do not check for more than 30, 40 positions.

I use Raven SEO Tools to help manage several accounts. It does a good job of SERPS tracking

The Digital Point tool is now working again. Its free, although currently limited to Google.com, Yahoo.com and Bing.com. That is, the rankings cannot be adapted to national search engines such as Google.co.uk.

Check top 1000 Page Ranking: Search Engine Results Pages | Google SERPs Position Checker shows up to 1,000 positions just in case your website sucks in SERPS, but is moving up this can be a useful tool

i am manually checking it on Google, by typing the most important keywords for my site... but you have provided some great tools for checking and it is really worth a try... thanks a lot...

WebCEO tool free edition does a lot of good things too,you can check 5 keyword at the time to know you position not only in google.

Many many thanks for all the replies. You guys always come up trumps!

Im using Rank checker at the moment, you can change the delay on it so it doesnt ask google too frequently and returns OK results

Yes I must say I use WebCEO as well and I truly love the results.

I can add in a list of over 500 keywords/keyword-phrases and let the program run in the background. There is a cost for this software but it truly does the job - it generates reports, allows you to check competitors, find related link partners, manage PPC campaigns, analyize link popularity, get traffic reports and so much more...

I use WebCEO as well, great product! It has many uses beyond just keyword search, tracking or analysis.

You can also use the tool below which find keywords positions for Google, Yahoo, and Bing for up to 1,000 pages.

I agree with you. Everything else is not good.

There are many SEO tools to know the current search engine position. SEO Elite, WebCEO, IBP are the popular ones. You can make a manual search too.
