Hey all, I tried using the search to find this but there were like a gajillion results because the terms are so generic. So apologies if this has been asked before. (I imagine only about a billion times) I'm just wondering if there's a way for me to more easily find how high my page is currently on Google for certain keywords instead of having to go through the results myself and ctrl-f'ing my way through. (Also for yahoo and MSN too while I'm at it, but this is the Google section) Thanks for your time.
"I need hits" are giving good tool for this: http://www.ineedhits.com/free-tools/free-position-check.aspx They are checking in first 100-200 search results.
The tools are excellent but if you have the time and like spending seconds more of your time, the manual approach can also be great because Google does not like some automated web scripts getting results and data from its ranking databases online.
By employing traffic statistics to your site, you could get report and knowledge where you traffic came from and what are the keywords used. Install Google Analytics or Statcounter code.
Have to agree with WishBone. Install Google Analytics and within a week or so you will be getting very important details about how google views your site, from there start to build a strategy.
