    Hi,

    I recently got into a debate with one of my clients regarding the best tool to check google rank of a specific keyword of a website.

    Well here comes the dilema. While the results are being determined by the global position on google.com ( ex: a german citizen can't have the same result on rank as a Usa citizen for a google.com website especially if the site is optimized on google.com.us or google.com - basicly they are the same i think )..just with usa proxy can be seen basicly the same results. !

    Same debate stands even for specific markets ( ex: german citizen that has its own website on google.de - a second person from italy sees different results when googling from his proxy - so again different results...)..

    My point...and our debate ended to the google formula to check ranks - some of you i think its already a known formula...

    =Arrayformula(MATCH(1, FIND("/url?q=MY WEBSITE",importxml("http://www.google.com/search?q=KEYWORD&start=0&num=100","//h3[@class='r']/a/@href")),0)+0)


    You can test it on a google spreadsheet, replacing the bold red words that i put with your website and a keyword...
    I am 50-50 with its results, like i am with other tools for checking rank results.


    My client says this is the most accurate tool at the moment to check a website's Rank..
    I am waiting your opinions, about this formula, if you are using it already, and its good as he says..or any other tool to check ranks !


    Respectfully,
    Matt:)
