#0, Tools to Check Rankings
Posted by virtuwul on Dec-30-07 at 01:21 AM
Well I'm REALLY excited...

My SEO plan is WORKING!
How do I know? Well, I just
checked using a few tools...

1. http://www.geoseo.com/ -- this one is FAST and it gives DEEP data across the globe. I like it. I also like that you can see all of your keywords at a glance. I don't like that you don't have a graph or history over time. Another great part of this tool it goes WAY beyond top 100 -- and I think that's great data. If my keyword is at 150 or so -- it won't take much to push it into the top 100 and beyond. Other downside, you can't enter too many keywords per site (I think you can just do 3 categories and 10 keywords per category -- so 30 keywords total).

2. http://www.rank-monitor.com/index.php -- this one is great too... What I like about this one is that you can see your rankings on a graph and it will track them DAILY. This is VERY powerful overtime. There's nothing like seeing what's going on... I don't like that you have to click your keywords one by one to see the ranking. And I don't like that it just gives you the top 100. It seems you can do a bunch of sites on this one.

3. http://www.soloseo.com/ -- this one is a whole different level and ball game.
it's really a TOTAL SEO operation management system. I'm impressed so far, but
I just gave it a quick test. You can sign up for a free 14 day trial. The only downside
on this one is probably too many features... The other tools are JUST to see your rankings and that's cool.

BTW, the other 2 are free to use for the most part -- and get the 14 day trial on the 3rd tool.

Rock on,
Matt

Important to know if you check your domains is... is it with "www" or without "www" I should check ?
Answer is simple : use the www + place 301 redirect of domain name without www to it with www.

Am I talking chinese ?
=> use www.yourdomain.com
=> place 301 redirect from yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com
So ALL links of both will be added together with probably better ranking or PR !!!
