Economical way to check my ranking?

[MatthiasFaus]

I've very recently gotten into the whole world of search engine optimization and internet marketing and I was wondering what good some of the tools out there can do. I don't have a huge cash-flow and I wanted to know if it was worth it to buy a tool like Web Position Gold, or Optilink, or some of the others I've seen. I've seen a couple of online tools, such as the free [search-engine-ranking-tool.com ] and some others that are really inexpensive, but I want to know if it's worth the money to buy the "big guns".

What do you guys use?

Try using the site search here for Web Position Gold or WPG you'll see loads of postings most talking about picking bans using programs like that, so I would stay well away from them

I use my mouse, XL sheet oh and sometimes notepad, thats it, you just can't beat using the old fashioned trusted ways

BTW we don't like to see URL's dropped here so could you remove it, otherwise the moderator will when he sees it :)
