How to Monitor and Improve your Search Engine
Rankings... Part 1 of 2
(c) by Detlev Reimer
-------------------------------------------------
With all those new home based businesses coming up
lately, it is no miracle that most of them are
focussing on their rankings in the search engines
to get their share of the "free traffic". Although,
many of those search engines have already changed
to a pay per listing/submission based system. But
enough of them are still free.
Let the Battle begin ...
Once you have achieved a top spot ranking that will
bring you a steady stream of targeted traffic, the
battle for keeping up your position will begin....
Others will try to copy your keywords/meta tags and
even your keyword density to take over your position
at the top. But what if you haven't achieved any
high positions, yet ? How do you get to the top ?
The first thing you should do is to optimize your
site for the search engines. Then you'll have to
submit your URLs to those search engines and after
a few weeks, you'll have to monitor your rankings
to see if you're already listed with them and which
positions you have achieved for your main keywords.
1.) Software You Can Use To Monitor Your Rankings
It might be easy to monitor your rankings if you
have just one keyword expression/URL . But if you
have more than 5 URLs which you have to monitor in
the search engines, it can become a day filling
task. At least, if you're doing this by hand and
enter those keywords into the search form.
- WebPosition Gold 2 :
But fortunately, there is software available to
you which can automate this tedious and time
consuming task ....The best software which can do
this is called Webposition Gold (2) and can be
found here :

This program cannot only be used for monitoring
those positions but it will take care of preparing
your html-pages as well. In other words, it will
optimize your pages by adding the necessary pieces
of code to achieve those desired high rankings.
Moreover, it allows you to compare your URLs
directly with those of your competitors. It is a
must have tool if you want to play the search
engines' game...
- AgentWebRanking 2.5 :
Another program which can be used just for
monitoring your rankings is called AgentWebRanking
2.5 and can be used freely in a so called Light
Edition. The Pro version is recommended if you want
to be able to export your results into *.csv files
or *.htm files and then save them . It will also
give you a performance report which is not created
in the Light Edition.

AgentWebRanking does emulate a manual search
through each search engine. It really works like
if you were manually checking your position. This
is why Agentwebranking does produce reliable and
accurate ranking reports. Software that automatically
check ranking (basic data request) without emulating
a manual search cannot provide an accurate ranking
report.
If you're a professional search engine optimization
company using the Pro version, you can create those
ranking reports with your logo, company name and URL
which will look very professional to your clients.
Emailing and printing the report is only possible in
the Pro Edition, either.
