I am using link-assist keyword rank tracker however it is very unreliable keyword ranking tool. Now I am using manual check in google, anyone who can suggest keyword tool? By the way I am also using SEO rank checker and same unreliable. Thanks.
I have used small SEO tools and many others tool to check my keywords rank and got frustrated because i could not able to find the consistent result..It always fluctuates..when i check first time it shows different result as compared to checking of keyword rank 2nd time.. So, after all i have started with manual checking and i am satisfied with the result..It takes some time to check manually but i get accurate result which gives me satisfaction..So, i would like to suggest you to go with only manual checking instead of using any keyword tool...
Mostly yes. I sometimes check the usual things to verify my thoughts on occasions (like google webmaster) but most times there is not that much info other than the supposed volume of search that shows anything of use. Now don't get me wrong you can get some info but most of the best info can be found looking manually and checking competitors websites. But than I do SEO vastly differently than most. But then unless something is in the top four pages and I am getting things to page 1 then it's not anything I need to know really. Most of my results are in the top couple of pages unless I have them stacked up in the top 100 results and have a large percentage of the top 50 reults.
I did the same. Basically I open my browsers and check for the rank. I have no idea about software to check the ranks. Doing manual check is the best method for me and I really enjoy it. By doing manual check, we would get many benefits: We can find out "what other people searches". This is by far the most useful information for me. Other Bloggers also find it very useful. It inspire me to write an article based on what visitors really want. By linking newly created article to existing similar article in the same category, it will strengthen the position and you already done a good technique in SEO. Get "the trend in internet". We can get valuable information about what is the trend in the internet for the 'keyword' checked keyword. There are excellent writers already write good articles about it and we can ask ourselves "why they write it?" and why they took that title?". When you got the answer of that questions, BINGO, you already advancced to the next step to increase your position in SERP. Look at lowest page. Most peoples didn't want to open the second page in search engine. While it is true (sad), I hope you didn't do the same. As blogger, we have to familiarize ourselves to open second page, third page or even eleventh page. Why? Because there are few answers to make our article (domain) move into better position. Covering similar niche in the same category will strengthen and help Spider/SE understand about our contents. Other non popular category in the same niche is good to build exposure and (maybe) revenue (only applicable to site/blog with ads). We can see our face (profile) in search engine. It happen only if we insert snippet code into our blog and while using Google as the search engine. While most people may ask "what is the relation between checking the ranking using manual action with profile being shown in Google", Well, it may have no relation at all. I just wanna say, it is cool to see the profile in search engine, right? No? well, maybe I'm to excited today.. :-D I hope few ideas above help you. anyway, Good luck with your blog. I hope you find what you really want. Last, I didn't really care about the rank. What I really care is, how to make search engine love my blog and rank it better. Four ideas above always work for me. Don't know for the others. ARICK. Edit: I see another members already give better answer. Will continue writing my article again (I'm writing article while replying to this comment).
