SEARCH POSITION CHECKER

For all of you who wonder where your website falls within a search, you can use this tool to find out.  Specify and check if your URL appears in the first 50 results for your chosen keywords. If the URL is present, it will output what position it occupies. As an additional feature, the tool also informs you if any other URLs from your domain appear in the search results.

The tool queries the following engines: Altavista, Excite, Google, Yahoo, HotBot, MSN, WiseNut, All the Web, and Teoma.


This tool is useful for those of you who are trying to build an SEO campaign.  This tool is key for search engine optimization as you will want to constantly check to see where you rank over the span of months.  The average time that it takes to start seeing results with SEO campaigns is roughly 3 months.  Keep in mind, depending on your keywords and content, as well as the topic of your site, some sites will naturally do better than others.  SEO takes time... so don't be surprised when your search position is not as high up as you'd have hoped.  There are a lot of factors that go into search engine placement.
