Finding Search Engine Ranking for Keywords

[waddsy]

Hey everyone!

Im curious how I can find where I stand in the SEngines for specific keywords.

If i go to google or yahoo and I type up "black wickets" I then go from page to page to page to find where I am. If i am 305 then I have had to go through a lot of pages to find myself.

Is there a quicker way to find where I am for the keywords Im interested in?

thx,
Waddsy

Look in your logfiles.
You will see what kind of words people use to find your website.Then take those exact words and type them into Google.In most cases you will find your website in one of the first 3 pages.Not always because of the different data centers.

There are some tools out there that let you do this. I use WebCEO. It's free in its basic usage, but you have to register. But you can do some fine analysis, where you rank for certain keywords in all the SE that you can think of.

Also, look at this thread [webmasterworld.com...]

If there are only a few keywords that you are interested in you can always add &num=100 to the end of the search URL and then use <ctrl>F (or find on the menu) to check if your url is on the page of results.

This would check 100 results at once.

Thumbshots provide an excellent ranking tool, free of use for all the top engines.

For the search of the exact position in the google, I would suggest a tool Nichebot ranking which will let us know the exact position for the keyword with the backlinks and pages indexed for the particular domain.

There are many. What most won't tell you is that Google does not like automated page checking systems. Look at Google's information for webmasters very carefully.

What even LESS tell you is that if you live by your ranking on a few main phrases, you may die by the same.
