Google Friendly Keyword Rank Checking
1. Must be using current FireFox. (Note I've recently found a much easier and more accurate way to track rankings. I would advise doing research and watching Youtube reviews of various keyword tracking services).
2. Set Google search results to top 100 and then save.
3. Search Term
4. Hit “Ctrl” “F”
5. Enter site URL
6. Select and highlight from your site up. (Stop before PPC at the top. (Sometimes the first 3)).
7. Paste into notepad. (Should be a “#” before each site - Excel counts the position based on the number of #s).
8. Copy notepad contents and paste into supplied excel doc (Paste into A1 or the top left cell). Excel Doc (right click "Save Target As")
9. ** In the top right of the excel doc you’ll see a field with a dotted background. This is used to subtract the sites that get more than one listing (when sorted by 100). These are the secondary “indented” results, typically to a website’s interior pages.
Post if you have any questions. As far as I understand, this is a non-automated Google friendly way to count keyword rankings. Please let me know if it’s not the case. Please Visit and Link to www.redolivedesign.com. Also, you may or may not want to turn off the google settings for "Enable customizations based on search activity." I suspect you'll probably want this disabled. To do so, search something in google, then click "Web History" in the top right corner. Then simply disable or able customized search results.
