You use keyword linkbait in comments and in Blog posts to encourage the search engines to keep moving you to the front to the pack, right?

You hear about keyword search tools and they do work, but then you hear where the Big G is going to punish users of these special tools. I personally think most of the scuttlebut is all crap, but here is a way to search for your keywords or keyword phrases to see where they rank in the serps without using any special tools, just the Google search box.

[ SERPS = Search Engine Results Page (s) ]

I use Firefox, but this probably works with any type of browser.

1 – Go to the Google search page and click on “preferences.” Change the number of search returns from 10 to 100.

2 – Search for your keywords or phrase.

3 – On the first 100 returns, go to the top of the Firefox tool bar and click on “Edit,” then “Find in this Page,” and type in your url that you are hoping to gain search rank for, or enough of the url line so that it would be a unique word.

4 – If your url is within the first 100 pages, the search will take you right to the serps listing. Just count your position number, log it and then re-check it once a week or so.

5 – If it does not show up in the first 100 returns, then scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen and click on the next group of 100. You will have to click on the “Find again” tab to see if it pops up there or not. If not, continue to the next 100. I never bother to go beyond 500 because you just don’t exist at that point.

Once you know your number you can then work on promoting it with other means and keep checking later.

I have seen several of my own keyword phrases start out in the high 300’s and eventually work their way up to the first page, and even have a few that are now on page 1, number 1, so it pays to promote your keywords!
