Excellent list but keep in mind that nowadays due to social and personal search aka SPYW ranking checks are almost meaningless. So it's just for tracking trends not real life SERPs real people see in many cases.
Absolutely Tad. The real rank checking is traffic checking. But rank checking still is good as part of a larger reporting strategy.
You are right Tad, although there are a bunch of things you should be measuring and tracking its always going to have some significance - especially for clients who don't want to delve to deep into the real numbers that matter...
Location factors also are a huge influence. I like Advanced Web Ranking because of its location search engine feature.
I find the value in rank tracking to see which tactics and changes I've been making to a site are moving keywords up in rankings. Even if that is just from 40 to 20. That type of movement won't show up in traffic data, but will in rankings data.
Awesome, just what I needed!
Absolutely right Mr. Tad..Nowadays, people seems to be concentrating more on Traffic & Conversions. Rankings doesn't play an important role, but there are some clients who are still happy when they see their keyword rankings.Overall, nice list of keyword checking tool. I don't know but you forget to add Rank Tracker which provides not accurate but yes atleast 98% of accurate keyword ranking. Thanks for the list. -Hyderali
Good list. Rank tracking is still a useful, especially when keyword rank tracking is tied up with traffic & conversions.
Excellent comments guys! I'd put together the list after I asked people one day on G+ what rank checkers they liked, and there were way more than I realized. I'll be updating the list soon (people have added even MORE) rank checkers in the comments... thanks again. -Dan
Great list, although I have to say that I have pretty much resolved that Authority Labs is the end-all-be-all solution for my company. It is not to say that many of our clients don't do campaign management through SEOMoz and others (which we recommend to them), but our needs for rank checking vary so greatly (some times needing hundreds of thousands of results, some times just needing a couple), that the only real option for us is auth labs. We have slowly but surely integrated them into nearly all of our tools and never looked back.
