Recently I have been coming across some cool tools that are very useful for my research on SEO. I have been reading some cool blogs too (which you would find in my link love soon) and that are giving me more indepth knowledge of analysis and research required to become better in SEO.
In the search engine marketing, while I realize that it’s important for businesses to keep a watch on their competition, it’s also useful for SEOs to analyse the search engine results pages (SERPs). You would call me Gennie if I would say that there is a website that does all this SERP analysis for you.
I am sure you would not expect all this just by searching your desired keywords in Google or searching your KEY words. I decided to give this website SERPAnalytics.com a try and registered with them. It was so good to be true, and it was still free. So it’s not always true that good things don’t come free.
I tried the SERP analysis and I searched for word “travel”. It’s interesting to share what I came across. SEO parameters for each website in the SERPs that includes Pagerank, Yahoo Backlinks, Yahoo Linkdomain, Quantcast Rank, Web Archive date, whether the website is DMOZ listed, Google/Yahoo/MSN index and even number of clicks which site gets on specified position per month, just WOW! I was impressed in first shot itself.
To my dismay, it also shows you where the site was in SERPs in past - this concept of archives SERPs cannot allow anyone to bluff about. Specially advertisers, you would get benefited by it a lot. For limited users (US IPs), the SERP analysis also show position changes in SERP then and there itself.
Unlike normal Google search results page (and by the way you can check all this for Yahoo and MSN as well), you would see a special box at the right side of the result page. This SERP stats page would show you the stats for the results on that specific page. I was impressed how handy the information of highest PR website and lowest PR website on that specific page would help. They are still in beta, and they are bringing me a lot for free. I am sure I would like to see all this implemented for Google SERPs for blogsearch as well. To see the SERP analysis in action, you would need to click on the snapshot above.
Looking at how it would help, I added few websites I wanted to analyse through domain search in “my account”. It allows me to see the domain summary and analyse any website for it’s top keywords. Damn, this is too much of information avaialble for free. I can almost search 200 websites everyday without paying a penny. To get benefit of all these tools, one has to register with them as all these features are available through user account only. One more good feature is Reverse IP search. It kind of gives you idea what all websites are located at what IPs. Simple but useful tool.
Now something more interesting, SERPanalytics.com also gives registered users access to their SEO tools including pagerank tool, bulk pagerank tool and top 10000 keywords tool. Yes, Top 10000 keywords that comprises of data from top paid keywords, top searched keywords and top expensive keywords as per the CPCs. Believe me all this will help you at every step of setting up your online venture. For example, just take the first step of selecting the domain name and you can finalize on the domain that contains important keywords in your niche. Or while you target the keywords for search engine marketing, you know the CPC, number of searches and all this data.
I won’t suggest you a crap atall, I am amazed with the information flow coming to me in such simple way. I am sure there is lot of hardwork behind this and before they make it a paid website, I would suggest to grab your seat and sign up for the beta version for free.
They say it would take only 1 minute to register but I will tell you, they lie! It takes almost 10 seconds only to register through the easiest registration process.

Thanks for the recommendation!
Although the site can be slow, it is pretty good summary of the competitors in your nice or search terms.
