Which page is currently ranking the best for a particular keyword?
-
Hi Guys!
I have approx. 50 keywords that I'm tracking for a website that has about 80 pages.
I am wondering is there any way that I can find out which page on the site is currently ranking best for each of the keywords on my list?
Ideally I would like to export the entire list with the keyword in the first column and the page that ranks best on the website for each given keyword, in the second column.
Apologies if the wording of this post is confusing - I am not quite sure how to make it clearer.
The aim of my task is to determine which keywords should be allocated to each page on the site so I need to work out which keywords are working already for certain pages so that I don't take those efforts away from the well-optimised pages.
Many thanks!
Meaghan

If you are looking for a more permanent option, use this tool:
http://www.advancedwebranking.com/This rank checker allows you to enter in your own keywords that you want to display the rank of. Better yet, it uses proxy servers so the results dont count against you. Only thing I would mention is to not run the report more often then once every two weeks, as this will make your impression count go way up.
Here is a link to a site we set up a long time ago:
http://www.woodlandwindows.com/awr/All the keyword choices showing up were ones that we chose. The front page listings show up in bold, so it's easy to see what is ranking, and what isn't. You don't have to have that large of a list.
Also, if you are trying to use a free platform to help, Google analytics can show you your top visited pages, which more than likely has a direct effect on your topp ranking pages. When you link your webmaster account and analytics accounts together, you can view search query and keyword ranking info.

Hi Meaghan,
The rank tracker I use will offer this information, and would be happy to set this up and run the report for you if you wish? It will tell you which pages are ranking for which phrases. I can export it and drop this back over.
Drop me an e-mail to info (@) inetseo.co.uk

Hi Meaghan,
What you could do is use a rank tracker and add your 50 keywords to it. If you're able to export them it could tell you what kind of pages are already ranking for the right search terms. In the old days I would have used Bradleys option and have gone with Google Analytics. But as it won't tell you the keywords anymore it's really hard to make a good decision based on that lack of data.

Google analytics should give you this information pretty clearly.

How does Title keyword order, number and puctuation factor into rankings?
Hi, I am new at SEO and really trying to dive right in and do some thorough keyword research before I put my efforts into on-page optimization. In my research I have found a bunch of keywords that have low competition and decent search volume for my niche. I was thinking that I could be quite clever to combine a few of these phrases together in order to target them all. I realize that the first few positions for title tag placement hold extra value so I do not want to overdo it with my word choices and therefore not rank for my keywords. For example "pink girls room" has the highest (but not a ton) searches out of the keywords that I have found. "pink room decor" is also a decent and relevant keyword. So if my title is "Pink girls room decor" at the beginning of my title will I hurt myself instead of thinking that I am clever enough to get both keywords with one shot. Also, if I add more keywords in a natural way after this important beginning phrase, will it help me get more long tail search terms or will it just dilute my original keywords? Finally, how do search engines view punctuation? I have noticed that when I search for terms myself that Google appears to ignore punctuation.. Does that mean if I am strategic I can get more keyword terms in my title and still sound human by taking advantage of this? Thanks so much!

Are the Volume numbers from the Keyword Difficulty Tool identical to Google Adwords Keyword Tool?
I use the Keyword Difficulty Tool daily. Because of the troubles with Google's API I can no longer see the search volumes. I still want to use the tool for difficulty numbers because I think this is a much better number than the Google Adwords Competitive bar. If I use the Adwords keyword tool for volume numbers, will that be sufficient? Is this the same as what Moz usually provides? If no, where is the best place to gather volume numbers? Thanks!

Prioritizing Keywords
Hi Everyone, I've been using many of the articles to find out the best way to create a list of long tail keywords I wish to target. Anyway, I used Google AdWords Tool in order to find out how many Global/Local Searches per month, and the Keyword Difficulty Tool on this site in order to find the difficulty score. With these two metrics, I've compiled a good list, but I wanted to know how people prioritize keywords. I was thinking of creating a formula in excel in order to compare both the difficulty score and the amount of searches, but I wanted to know other people's advice and how they decided to prioritize the long tail keywords they compiled. I am still a bit of a newbie at this, so any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
