Rank Checker - A Free SEO Tool




As online marketers, we are always looking for the latest and greatest tools to help our clients stay ahead of the competition. This week I came across Rank Checker which is a Firefox extension (an add on to the Firefox web browser) that allows you to upload your keyword lists and run reports to check your website rankings in Google (including international), Live and Yahoo. This tool is designed to be quick and it takes only a few minutes to install. What I like about it is that once you run your keywords report, you can verify you positions in the search results by double clicking on the URL - keep in mind that if you are logged into your Google account it shows personalized results which tend to show better results than what they really are. To avoid this, you can check under preferences "don't show Google personalized results if any." Did I mention this tools is free?! it is and you can also export the data to a CSV file.
