Track All of Your Keyword Rankings in One Location
Aug 16th, 2007 by msdanielle
If you’re interested in tracking all of your target keyword phrases for each of your sites in one location, you might want to check out DigitalPoint’s Search Engine Keyword and Back Link Tracker. I use it to track the rankings of keywords for my blog as well as a few other sites I own. You’ll need to locate a Google API key first before creating your account, so good luck with that part. 
Once you’ve created your account, login and start adding your URLs and keyword phrases. It’s an easy tool to use that provides valuable at-a-glance tracking information. Here’s a screen shot of a few keywords that MsDanielle is currently ranking for.
The keyword phrase is listed on the left, then URL, search engine, the keyword’s current ranking, the number of spots it’s changed in one day (green is positive movement, red is negative), then one week, then one month. The last check performed was on August 13th so there may have been some additional rank changes in the past few days.
Most SEOs probably use this tool already. But if you’ve never come across it before, I recommend checking it out. DigitalPoint also provides a number of other useful free tools, so feel free to snoop around their site. And if you’re looking for the forums, they’re here. Have fun!

This is pretty cool, and I’ve just fired off the link to this post to some old co-workers. They were looking for a tool just like this a few months back
thanks jason! i hope your old co-workers are able to make good use of it
I could be wrong but don’t you need your own Google API key for this?
Yes, you do need an API key, but if you have a Google account or Gmail, it isn’t hard to get one, they provide the link fo you on digital point.
Edit: They actually aren’t issuing API keys anymore, I guess I got mine while they still were. That makes this tool kind of obsolete unless you have a key from before.
you’re right, they’re not issuing keys anymore. but you can still use the one you got from before. and anyone who is willing to share a key can allow their friends to start their own accounts too. the tool is not obsolete at this point, only restricted unless you can find a key. shouldn’t be that hard since a lot of people probably have keys or have a friend who has one. it’s definitely worth asking around since i use this tool practically everyday.
Why would they quit issuing the API keys? That’s like saying “we’re not allowing any new users” isn’t it? I just don’t see how they can expect to grow and prosper if they don’t let new people join in.
This is a pretty cool all in one tool. I used it a bit in the past, and then kinda forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder. After all, tracking is key to success!
you’re right. it’s so easy to track your keyword movement with this tool. i use it all the time and am constantly adding new keywords to my lists.
This is my first time here, very nice blog.
Also, I’m giving away a free barry bonds card so if anyone is interested come check it out.

Sitening.com also has a similar tool called SERP Tracker. I am yet to see the results however as I only just tried it yesterday and it takes 24-48hrs to update.
