A company called CleverStat have a number of products to help you understand your site’s search engine penetration.  But they also produce a free tool called Free Monitor for Google which will tell you where your site ranks.

You can download it and use it to check your ranking for the various keywords and phrases that interest you. I have written a hubpage that explains this more thoroughly if you need more information.

Otherwise, head over to Cleverstat and download Free Google Monitor.

The image shows a screen from Google Monitor – you can see that the site features on page 2 for the first term (position 20), page 1 for the second term (position 7) and so on.

It’s a site that wants you to use it as your main search engine – its results are based on Yahoo’s index. And to encourage you to do that, it offers prizes to people that search frequently. To stand a chance of winning a prize you have to sign up, but you don’t have to sign up to simply use it as a search engine.

The site is clean and simple so I am testing it out. Please try it yourself, sign up and and tell your friends about it. If your friends sign up through your link, you and they will receive a prize when they win. I suggest we all search like crazy and make them send us lots of presents. I sure could do with one.
