We cannot take this knowledge for granted

Obviously there are many important metrics we help clients track, but I’d like to focus solely on rank-checking tools for just a moment: I've begun to recommend some popular tools for rank-checking lately even before I notice this confusion from a client or prospect. My first inclination was to use our team of very savvy developers to conquer this task. Yes, we did come up with a few solutions that worked for awhile, but after being shut down by Google more than a few times, I realized that this was a complete waste of time and that our developers should be working on other tasks.


Keep in mind that this was late in 2007. My fir uk email address list st third party resource was Aaron Wall's Rank Checker for Firefox. This tool works great and I relied on it for some time. I really like it for doing quick research on the spot. Out of paranoia I always clear my cache and temporary files before using this tool. Fantastic product! The best part is that it's FREE! It didn’t take long before I realized that I needed to keep track of rankings over time.





With over 100 clients and growing, Aaron's Rank Checker was not practical and did not provide a history of rankings. My first thought was to ask all my fantastic Twitter followers what they thought. I had multiple people recommend Raven SEO Tools and was even fortunate enough to have Matt Mikulla visit my office for a one-on-one demo. The software is great, and it combined many popular SEO tools on top of the basic rank checking I was looking for.
