How Do You Rank At Google…When You’re Not On Page One?

Sometimes I want to know how I rank at Google for a given search–say, "maine web design"–when I know I’m not on page one. Am I number 11 or am I number 206?

Sure, I could keep clicking the "next" button, hoping my eyes don’t glaze over when I do actually spot my listing…however, I’ve been using a free online tool lately that can track a Web page’s rank without me having to sift through pages and pages of serps. (Search Engine Results Pages.)

It’s from Digital Point and it’s called the Keyword Tracker. They have a few other tools there as well, but this is the one I’ve been using.

It’s a helpful tool for site owners who want to rank high for competitive search terms, such as "travel"…or "sex". Or for people in industries where their competition is definitely on the Web. Like Web developers. Or Bloggers. Or Maine Web Designers.

If you find yourself in any of these groups, you can easily track changes in your search engine rank to determine if your new keyword-rich copy or incoming link program are making an impact.

    This is a marketing scam, if you pay google to get search engine rankings this company offers you a candy coated toy for you to play with while they get free marketing info from all the users (that you paid for)that came to your site. Very unethical!

    Dear "Me,"

    I wish you had left your real contact info, as your claim doesn't carry a lot of weight when posted anonymously.

    Also, if any pay-per-click results at Google wouldn't appear in these reports. Also, you can't pay Google for good search engine rankings, just for sponsored ads for specific keywords.

    Are you sure you know what the hell you're talking about?

    Feel free to post again with more information…and your real contact info.
