Search Engine Rankings - Find out how your site ranks - And the service is FREE!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with RealSupport Inc.

I came across this FREE site, www.KPMRS.com recently, and thought it was a pretty cool way to track your website's Search Engine Rankings.

First, what is a search engine ranking? How high your site comes up when a keyword is searched for on a search engine.

For example, my keyword/phrase is "Chicago Illinois Real Estate". When I type in "Chicago Illinois Real Estate" on Google, what number does my site come up? First, third, twenty-second?

This free site allows you to track this number for one website for free (the paid version allows tracking mulitple sites). It gives you google, yahoo, and bing! This is great for those of you (like myself) who are simply curious, but even more powerful, you can use it as a tracking tool when implementing any kind of search engine optimization.

If you are planning on or have recently implemented some new keywords onto your site, or started blogging using your keywords (see our Google Juice blog post for more on this) - then now is the time to start tracking your progress!

It is so easy, you can sign up for a free account with KPMRS.com or don't sign up and just check your site on the homepage!

The main difference between the paid service is that it saves your keywords and site information, so you don't have to enter it each time you check it. It also offers email updates when your rankings change, an Iphone application and some fancy charts!

Below is an example of what the resulits look like when using the free, unsubscribed version:


WARNING: This is addictive! Once you start checking, I guarantee it will become a favorite pastime!

Great, Jen. You have succeeded in depressing the heck outta me! One of my websites is not in the top 100 of anything. Another is #1 in Yayhoo but not in the top 100 of anything else. SEO sucks. And you are probably right...it will become addictive and I will stay depressed the rest of my life. I need some coffee...

Oh, that is fun!  You guys are really on top of technology! Why do you suppose that google appears twice in the results?  The icons are slightly different.  Great post - keep them coming.  -Marian

I had a lot of fun putting some different web sites through this. Some I did great on. Others, not so much.

This is a must-use tool for everyone who wants to get a real look at how they are doing with the search engines.

I thought this was a great tool when I came across it a few months ago but quickly realized it was not too accurate at all.
