Tracking keywords beyond #50 in the rankings?
-
Although Moz does a great job of tracking keyword rankings within the "top 50", a lot of the time with new sites and new content we are trying to track improvement in performance way out beyond that (just trying to get into the top 50). Although Moz tells me that a keyword has moved up or down outside the top 50, without knowing the actual position it's hard to reconcile that in terms of improvement.
Is there a tool out there that will do what Moz does for the top 200?

Sorry, but you have clients and use a free tool to report keyword rankings? Is it really that good?

Hi there, you've received several responses. Did any of them answer your question? If so, please mark up to three as "good answers." Thanks so much!

Out of all the rank trackers I have found it the fastest and least likely to fail when checking a large amount of keywords. Well, approx 120 any way.

Cuterank Great free version for single site!
I love the unlimited time historic graphs for ... good to show clients the "hard work done"!
I wouldnt pack it up with a huge list of keywords and serps cause as it runs in your computer and it may turn a little bit unstable and block serps.
Cheers!

Cuterank is a great ranking checker that will check up too 100 results and any amount of keywords even in their free version. The free version is limited to a single site however.

There are actually several tools that can do what you are looking for but as far as the accuracy of data is concern, mostly are paid.
There are tools like SERPS.com, Rank watch, Advanced Web Ranking and more… I agree with James about the ideal of Google Webmaster toll but expecting too much from it is again not really a very good idea!
Hope this helps.

You can track beyond 50 with tools like AWR - (Advancd Web Ranking) you may need a proxy to run it depend on the number of keywords you want to track.
If you want estimate rankings for free then you can use (Google Webmaster Tools Ranking data or SEM Rush) which will show ranking data. That been said the data from SEM Rush and from GWT will be limited and will only be taken as a estimate.

Increase in Rankings, but search visibility is decreasing
I just started updating my site with the very basics, focus keyword, meta description, and page titles. I see that I am going up in my targeted keywords, however my search visibility has dropped from 3.34% to 2.78%. My assumption is that my keyword choice is a little off, however I see that I have increased in keyword rankings and dropped very little in what I was ranking for previously, plus the keyword volume seems relatively the same. In fact I've added far more keywords than I have dropped. Curious why my search visibility has dropped, however my keyword rankings only seem to increase.

Accurate Google Keyword Ranking for a domain
Hi Folks, SEO N00b here, in a new job so please go easy on me if i ask stupid questions. I'm looking for some clarification on Google Keyword rankings. I am looking for accurate Google Keywords rankings as when I log into Google Webmaster Tools I am given values like (6-10) for a ranking? When I used SEOMoz (Research Tools -> Keyword & Ranking -> Rank Tracker) it gives me an even less accurate range by simply saying >#50?Why is SEOMoz giving a completely useless metric? Why is its actual rank not shown? I know rankings are becoming less useful as a metric with Google moving toward personalized search but I still have reports to deliver to clients so the conversation of what metrics are going in the report is to be had another day. Right now I just want to get accurate rankings, from what I've found online Google Webmaster tools is recommended as the de-facto ranking tool but it doesn't provide accurate results so how can that be (yes I know it averages out the ranking but 6-10 is a range of values not a single value that represents an average) Dave

How do i target keywords locally
I am working for a cosmetic surgeon with clinics in three geographic places. I would like to give him specific keywords that he can go after successfully. When I use the keyword tool with terms like botox cosmetic staten island or breast augmentation tarrytown, I get competitive rankings like 36% or 37%, but it doesnt tell me if there are only a few searchers doing this per month. In Google's Adwords tool, it thinks that the number fo searchers with these same terms is too small to measure, literally giving me back a dash (= insignificant traffic). However, it I use Google Adwords with more general terms, say breast augmentation surgeon, and get a medium/110 global monthly searches, when I come back to SEOmoz tool and assess the same keyword, I find that the traffic picks up doctor sites in Arizona and elsewhere, where clearly no one who wants cosmetic surgery in new York is going to fly to Arizona for it. So, how do I ensure a balance between targeting too little traffic but including the names of specific towns, and targetting more general terms but not having local prospects. Has anyone tackled this in a specific medical niche?

Google Algorithm Update July 30, 2012 - Anyone else notice a major drop in keyword rankings
From July 30th to the 31st many of my keyword rankings in Google plumited 30 spots or more. Has anyone else notice this on their site? Does anyone have any idea for the presumed penalty? I can PM my site information if needed for further assistance. As always thank you for the assistance, and any help in this matter is greatly appreciated!
