Search Engine Rankings
Search Engine Rankings
Rankings on search engines results pages are known as SERPS. Many Webmasters keep an eye on how well their site is ranked or positioned on SERPS because good or bad rankings can have a major effect on the amount of traffic a Web site receives (in other words, the amount of people viewing a site).
Free & Manual Search Engine Ranking Checkers
All search engines would rather you check your Web site's rankings manually, if you are going to check them. Automated programs jam up their servers with automated queries.
How to Manually Check Your Rankings
Checking your site's rankings manually is easy enough, if a little time-consuming.
- Simply open your browser and enter one of the search engine domain names below.
- Then enter in the keyword search term you want to check your ranking for and search their results.
If your Web site does not appear in the first or second pages of results, it's unlikely that you will be getting a high volume of traffic (searchers) visiting your Web site.
