Check Your Rank in Google

Why care about where Google ranks your page? If you're selling something, you probably do. You might also have some concerns about where your competitors are ending up, or want to try experiments with different keywords on your home page. There are several software packages that offer automated checking of your Google rank, but most of the ones I've seen violate Google's terms of service. Check out Top25Web ( http://www.top25web.com/ ) for a rank checker that uses the Google API.

Top25Web.com checks the position of your site in Google's search engine (up to the first 50 results that Google provides.) Here's how it works. At Top25Web.com, you give the keyword you're looking for, the domain where you want to find the keyword, and number of results you want to check (a maximum of 50, as I said.) Top25Web.com will come back with the number of times your domain was matched, the positions where it matched (2nd on the list, 10th on the list, etc.), and the approximate number of search results the query got.

You'll also get the top ten results for that keyword with your matching domains highlighted (if any). You'll also get a truncated list of the other 40 results (if you chose to view a total of fifty results) that show just the entries which match the domain you chose. This utility is extremely handy if you're want to check for several keywords at once or you want to experiment with several different keywords and see what they bring up.
