The site I chose to recommend this month is one whose search engine positioning insight is absolutely fantastic. The site is at WebPosition from First Place Software, who offer Search Engine Placement analysis software.   WebPosition guys know their search engines. They have a monthly newsletter that is packed with accurate, up to date information on most of the major search engines. The old newsletters are available in the archives and none of it costs any money.

These guys have an ulterior motive in giving away this valuable information: They sell complimentary software, that you can download for free. Webposition is a piece of software that is a dream come true to all people who have to keep track of more than a few sites’ rankings with the search engines. With only the click of a button, it automatically searches for as many searches as you want for any or all of the 10 largest search engines. This saves hours of monotonous data entry.

The software then compiles your results and presents you with a detailed analysis of all of your rankings. It even keeps track of your past rankings and tells you which positions have improved or gone down.

The site is very simple, but I liked how all of the major features of the site were listed in the left column. I highly recommend that you obtain their newsletter.   Anyone that designs web pages should at least know the basics for search engine positioning. And if you’re interested, the software is free for 30 days, so check it out.
