I’ve just posted a comment to an article on seroundtable.com about Google trying to save bandwidth disallowing automatic rank checking applications to request current ranks for tons of keywords and websites and thought I could maybe explain the suggestion I made a little bit more.
My idea was that Google could maybe integrate a rank checker into its Google Webmaster Tools. Well, I know, there is already some sort of checking with the Top Search Queries, but I was thinking more of some kind of configureable rank checker offering the following features:
- select Google’s TLD(s) to include in checking
- enter keyword(s) to check
- show current rank and observe rank-evolution over time
- optionally, but that’s maybe more tricky to handle for Google, let me introduce a keyword and get my site’s ranking for this keyword during the last x month
This way Google could save bandwidth and at the same time satisfy one of the basic needs of most serious seo professionals.
Let me know what you think about it!
