Ranking Software: Good or bad? - Why you don't want to do it manually
(Page 4 of 4 )
Checking your website's search engine position is really a very time consuming task. Imagine, if you have 10 keywords that you want to monitor, and you want to check the top 20 positions for 10 search engines, you need to perform about 200 (10 keywords X 10 search engines X first 2 pages) individual searches to get the results. Then you need to compare the results one by one to find where your site is positioned. It may take you days to complete this task if you do this manually. That's where a good search engine ranking tool can help.
The most important roles that such a ranking software must fulfill are: to display this data in a way that you can easily read and understand, to be friendly to search engines, to offer you all the needed data in order to better understand and see your position in search engines, and to see what is happening with your competitors' sites. The relevant information should be easy to see and access; it should lighten your workload and not make it more difficult for you. It's hard enough for you to lead your site to the top -- you don't need unnecessary complications.
Advanced Web Ranking will present your search engine positions in a number of very powerful (but easy to customize) views. From color-coded URLs for easy differentiation between your own and the competition's websites, to interactive table sorting on multiple columns and filtering by various criteria, this tool helps you to easily see and understand your search engine ranks and watch their evolution in time.
Advanced Web Ranking tool is the only ranking tool able to run on multiple platforms. You can check your website's position in search engines from your home desktop PC, at work on your Sun SPARC Station, or in front of a customer on your sleek PowerBook - all with the same interface. On Mac OS X, Windows or Linux/Unix, this software will provide you with the same functionality.
A ranking software is thus very useful. The only problem is that a person who wants such a software must be careful when choosing from the wide variety of such tools on the market and test them before buying one. It takes you a lot of time to achieve the number one position, but a search engine can really put you down in a very short time and you can lose everything (customers and future customers especially) if you make a bad choice. Good luck!
