For those that have a web site, this is for you. Advance
Web Ranking is a
program that will go to all the SE's that you select and get your
web sites page
rank.
Now that may sound a like it would not be much work but have you went to
over 800 Search Engines and checked where your web site is ranked by keyword
and against your competition? Quite a daunting task.
When you setup the program you select your
keywords, which Search Engines you want to check and list the competitions web
sites. The program is fairly fast but if you have a long list of keywords,
select all the available Search Engines, and have a lot of competition the
program will take some time to complete.
I have used this program to follow
my web sites
progress since I started them. Sometimes checking the rank of your web
site can be disheartening, seeing it at the bottom of the list. But by checking on
the web site's progress as you modify the keywords and content you can see if
the improvements are working with in two days. I made some changes to this web
site on a week end afternoon and by Tuesday I had moved up by three positions. Now
you may think that three positions is not a big deal but if you are number 12 on
a keyword search that returns 1000+ web sites you are on the second page,
moving up by 3 puts your site on the first page. Conversely lets say you changed
a keyword on one page and in a couple of days your page had slipped three or
four positions, you may have moved off of the first page to the second page.
Most searchers will not go to the second page of a search
return, if they don't find what
they are looking for on the first page they revise their search term and try
again. So it is important that your web site be on the first page for the
keywords you have on that page.
Advanced Web
Ranking will help you analyze
your web site's
position and the competition. When you modify a page you can
track its progress if it is
going up or down. You can see each keywords rank by search engine, or by page.
You can also see your web sites overall rank in comparison with the top fifty
sites by keyword. This is very important for those that rely on traffic by
keyword search. if you are below 10 you will need to add content appropriate to
the keyword to rank higher and push the competition out of the higher ranking.
The program also has an overview of your sites
progress, it lists all of your keywords and where they rank overall. This gives
you a quick view of where you rank for each keyword. You can check your keywords
by each SE you have listed, the program will list the web page name and it's
rank on that SE. Such as Google, you have the web page, the position on the page
and the page number plus the best rank since the first time you ran the program.
It gives you a history of where your web site is where it has been and where it
is going.
The program has three distinct license modes, Standard,
Professional, and
Enterprise. Standard gives you the Project, Update, Schedule, and Filters. The
Tools features have some tools that are not available in the Standard version.
If you are using this program for your business these features are all you
really need to track one or two web sites. If you are a web designer and want
the Reports, Triggers, and Advanced Tools you will have to upgrade to
Professional or Enterprise.
Ranking:
I am ranking this program 9 of 10, the reason for the 9 instead of 10 is that
the 30 day trial gives you all the features then when you buy it you lose the
Reports, Edit Reports, Triggers, and some of the Tools. The publisher's web site
does not tell you that when you purchase the product you will not have all the
features the trial version had. Overall this program is very useful in tracking
your web site's progress, and will assist you in modifying your keywords to get
the highest ranking possible. Purchase only if you are serious about moving your
web site up in the keyword ranking wars. Recommended for Web Designers and SEO's
that work on client web sites.

Since I wrote this article I have since quit worrying about SEO and am
concentrating on getting the most out of my time by letting
SBI do the worrying. I highly recommend you save your time and money
doing what a web master should be doing and that is giving your readers the best
content possible instead of doing all the things that SEO requires to rank high
in the SERPs. (If you don't know what SEO or SERP means you need to do more
research on web sites, sorry).
