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...

Yahoo Local SERPs Index Issue
I recently updated all my website page Titles and was checking to see how many have been crawled so far. On Yahoo/Bing I noticed something very strange when entering site:bandpages.ie in the search field. Selection Buttons (top of SERPs): 'Web' search shows all my pages indexed 'UK' has has most pages 'Only In Ireland' has just 1 page indexed - which is the site RSS Feed and nothing else! The site has been live for 2 years now. Considering we don't trade with the UK and our main focus is here in Ireland - what is going wrong? Why doesn't Yahoo/Bing index list the site pages in the Ireland index? Any insights or solutions appreciated...

Different serps
Hi, I seem to be making progress in recovering from penguin/panda. (maybe) However I get vastly different results if I search google in different ways for example if I specify the geographic location as US (I am in the UK) for prom hairstyles ie http://www.google.com/search?q=prom+hairstyles&gl=us (which I believe gives the SERPs for the US or at least it used to) my site (prom-hairstyles.org) comes in at number two or sometimes on the second page. But if I just search google.com it comes in at 450 or so. My question is do you get the same and why such a big difference? Thanks, Ian

We're no longer turning up in Google SERP for our brand search when we used to be #1 after our site update. Any ideas why?
We recently updated our website and during the push, someone mistakenly 301 redirected "www.brandx.com" to "brandx.com" instead of the otherway. Since then, our website no longer turns up for the search "brandx" on Google. We have reversed the mistake a few days ago, but we're still not turning up, and we used to rank #1 in Google SERP. Could it just be due to timing between the crawls and that our www. site didn't make it in Google's index due to this mistake? We have submitted our new sitemap to google a couple of days ago as well, as a side we're still showing up #1 in Bing's results however. And it should still show up based on SEOMoz's SERP report. Any help would help as I'm growing increasingly concerned.

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.

Anyone know how to fix duplicate content and titles with news section?
We use django for out site and it's working really well, but we're having an issue with duplicate titles and content via the news section. The news is basically stories sourced from other sites and we link to them via our news section. I'm not sure how to fix the duplicate title issue in this case. I noticed people recommend archiving or using a canonical, but because the news section is set up how it is I don't think that would work. Does anyone have a way around this?A
