This is the second part of a four-part series that lists search engine optimization tools. In this article we cover rank checkers, web analytics tools, social media tools and online copy writing tools.
Rank Checkers
With rank checkers you can automate the process of checking search engine rankings for your keywords across all search engines. These tools are helpful if you take care of tons of sites.
Rank Checker - With this free rank checker you can check search engine rankings on Google.com, Yahoo.com, Live.com and all country specific domains like google.ca, google.co.uk, ca.yahoo.com, etc. Live is only limited to dot com for now. Rank Checker also supports the export feature, so you can transfer rankings to Excel and make pretty presentations. To use this you'll need the Firefox Browser.
Accurate Monitor for Search Engines - This tool costs $99 for personal use and $149 for business use. You can check rankings on all major search engines (including country-specific search domains), check both paid and free listings, keep history for each keyword ranking, check titles and descriptions, export results in CVS, and so forth. It also supports Yahoo and Google APIs.
WebPosition - There are two versions of this tool. Standard costs $149 and Professional is $389. Webposition is similar in its feature set to the tools listed above, but it adds a couple more perks. You can create simple HTML pages right from the interface. I personally found this feature useless, since all it does is place keywords in the title tag, H tag and meta tags. On the bright side, Webtrends creates pretty and detailed graphs which are perfect for presentations.
