How Does My Site Rank?

How To Use This Search Engine Ranking Tool:

Name & Email: Fill out each of the form fields above to determine your website ranking on Google, Yahoo, MSN, and ASK search engines. Fill out your name and valid email address.

URL: When filling out the URL field pay close attention to the actual URL of your website. Many blogs have a URL that does not contain a 'www' in the domain name. Your results will return a value of 'Not Found' if the exact URL is not located in the search database. This ranking tool searches the top 100 results for each of the major four search engines and if your site returns a 'Not Found' result it may be buried too deep in a search engine for this search.

Keyword: In this field you can either enter a single keyword or a search phrase. You can also enter your URL to determine if your website is included in the search databases of the four major search engines.

Submit: After submitting the form data please allow a few seconds for the website to determine the search engine ranking. This will take a few moments.

Continue searching by entering different keywords and phrases to determine your website ranking for all of your major keywords and search terms.

One of the best uses for this tool is to analyze the rankings of your competitors. Input the URL and keywords of your top competitors to view where they are ranked on search engines. You can quickly see where your competition ranks.

Common Questions:

How come my site ranks so poorly on Google?

Top search engine ranking is based on a variety of both on-site and off-site characteristics. On-site page attributes refer to the structure and code of the website. These consist of keyword placement, body text, site titles, internal links, meta description tags, and a series of website characteristics that search engines look at to determine the ranking of a site. Off-site elements play a key role in determining the value of your website. The value of a website is a major factor in determining where a website ranks. Many key off-site traits, including but not limited to, the number and location of incoming links, age of your website, URL, etc..., will have a greater impact on your site ranking than on-site attributes.

How come my website returned a value of "Not Found"?

There are most likely one of two reasons for this.

1.) Your website is not located in the database of the search engine. There are several ways a search engine can find your website and the sooner you can get search engines to visit your website, scan the contents, and include your site in its search database the better. They can find your website from links on other sites and you can submit a sitemap directly to the search engine. A sitemap lists all of the pages on your website and gives a search engine a framework to follow.

2.) The second reason why your website would return a "Not Found" result is because you site does not rank in the top 100 websites for that specific search engine. Contact a successful SEO company to optimize your website for specific high traffic keywords.

Most webmasters focus all of their attention on their Google ranking. Since Google returns the largest amount of traffic on the web, it is a wise idea to focus on your google rankings. My focus with SEO and Internet marketing is predominately on the Google search but I never forget about the importance of Yahoo, MSN, and ASK. Top listings in these search engines can draw in traffic to your site and increase sales dramatically. If your site is not found on any of these 'Big Four' search engines contact 2 The Top Marketing for instructions or to attend a SEO Seminar.
