How do I know my SERP
-
Is there a tool to tell me my exact SERP?
I am trying to find a company on google. I have looked through hundreds of pages. Is there a tool to tell me exactly where it is currently ranked for a particular keyword?

I agree with Reload that tracking rankings isn't as important as it once was due to the ever increasing personalisation of search results. We keep track of the rankings for our SEO clients but usually keep that data in-house (unless a client requests them) because oftentimes clients will become fixated on the current ranking of a particular keyword. Instead, we provide data on the visits from each keyword, the number of different keywords that generated organic traffic, conversions/sales and ideally all of those numbers will gradually increase over the long-term.

Hi Joseph,
Streamline has made some great suggestions for rank checking software. In addition you can use the rank tracking within SEOMOZ or use Rank Tracker (http://www.link-assistant.com/rank-tracker/). It will save you a lot of time.
Bare in mind though with the ever increasing personalisation of results in Google, just use ranking reports as an indicator of performance. Not the ultimate metric.
Hope that helps

There are several rank trackers out there. I currently use www.cuterank.net. If you already know the keyword you want to find a website in the SERPs for, CuteRank should work for you.
Another tool is www.semrush.com, which will tell you all the keywords a particular website is ranking for.
Finally, I just saw that you have looked through hundreds of pages... if a website isn't found on the first page, let alone the first 10 pages or top 100 results, it might as well not rank at all since most users rarely ever dig past the first few pages...

Very different serp rankings for different countries
Hi! A client of mine has a global presence and we are therefore tracking serp rankings for multiple Google domains; google.com, google.ie, google.co.uk for example. One page is ranking quite well in Google.ie (position 11 right now) while at the same time ranking extremely bad in both Google.com and Google.co.uk (position 100+). How can that be?? I did do some optimization (for example Title and Desc) before the rankings in .com and .co.uk went really bad (they were higher before (pos 30-40)). But it is the same page Google indexes...but the results are very different. How can this be? What can be done? Thanks!

How long does it take before a site is back in the SERP after a manual spamaction is revoked
Hi, A client of ours has a website with a manual spam action (duplicate content). Because they made some mistakes with redirects while moving the site from a URL to another google penitalized the site. We fixed the errors and the spamction is revoked. My question is how long it ussualy takes before the first results are back in the SERP. In WMT Google says "some time". But has anyone got some more information on it? Best Regards, Sam

Site blocked by robots.txt and 301 redirected still in SERPs
I have a vanity URL domain that 301 redirects to my main site. That domain does have a robots.txt to disallow the entire site as well. However, for a branded enough search that vanity domain still shows up in SERPs and has the new Google message of: A description for this result is not available because of this site's robots.txt I get why the message is there - that's not my , my question is shouldn't a 301 redirect trump this domain showing in SERPs, ever? Client isn't happy about it showing at all. How can I get the vanity domain out of the SERPs? THANKS in advance!

Does Google know what footer content is?
We plan to do away with fixed footer content and make, for the most part, the content in the traditional footer area unique just like the 'main' part of the content. This begs the question, do Google know what is footer content as opposed to main on page content?

Slide show showing up as video in serp
Saw an interesting SERP today that made me wonder how this is working - A search for alaska train tours reveals the Flash slideshow from this page http://www.alaskatours.com/alaska_railroad_packages/alaska_family_tour.htm showing up on the second/third pages. I'm guessing this is the work of a video sitemap perhaps? Unsure how they pulled this off exactly, but I am very interested to see what people think as I could probably use this for a few different sites.

Robots.txt Showing in SERP Results
Currently doing a technical audit for a website and when I search "Site:website.com -www" the only result is website.com/robots.txt I was wondering if anyone else has come across this before -- or what this may mean from a technical audit standpoint. Thank you!
