Hi!

I've been using some rank tracker to track my website ranking but they show different result

With Serpfox I got #10

With Proranktracker I got #3

With manually type my kw into google I got page 2

So what rank tracker should I trust and why they show different result like that?

Thanks you!

    Have you check what country they're tracking? I know for serpfox you can select all of google or specific countries, though im not sure if proranktracker has that option. Also you said when you checked it was on page 2 so serpfox is more accurate in that instance. Remember they only update once and a while so you might rank but the tracker may take a while to update.
    Another thing is that if you click on your website a lot, it will put you site higher up on google for you but not everyone else. So its not the 'true" ranking. When you check your rank use a different webbrowser or sign out of your google account.


    Thanks

      I thought both of them are using US location to track ranking.

      I also use Ingconito Mode of Chrome to search for my website so it does not store cookies

    Google PageRank and Alexa are the most reliable IMHO. If you've got Firefox you can install the SearchStatus bar and display the page rank of every page you visit.

      Admittedly, I'm not big into SEO -- I find that if you provide great content to humans the search engines tend to follow -- but when I do want to track my search engine traffic, I just go to the source, particularly Google Webmaster Tools (https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/) and Bing Webmaster Tools (Bing - Webmaster Tools).

      They're both free and as accurate as you can get for their respective search engines.

      What the hell has this got to do with keyword search rank? Alexa is probably the most easily manipulated stats going lol!

    I use proranktracker and its usually accurate to within 1 or 3 places. They all update at different times and default will check google.com.

    One thing to note is that if you have gmail and you are signed in and you search for your site using a keyword that you want to check a position for will rank higher (usually) than other websites, this is because Google remembers you individually and knows which site you click on the most so if you are constantly clicking your own site from the search results and are signed in to your Google account your sites will show higher up on page one.

    This sounds stupid but its true its behavioural search. So search your site but do not click it from the search or sign out of your Google account before you search it this way you get an accurate result. Sometimes you have to clear cookies and adobe cache though.

    You may want to check out SEO Profiler, I think they have a free 30 day trial, they also offer a lot more than just checking rankings.

    I agree that Googlepagerank is the most reliable. Given that it is the source of page ranking in my mind it should therefore be the most reliable.

      What is Googlepagerank?

      I mean a tool which can tell me where is my site standing when searching for my desire keyword. Not Google PR

    Is there even a rank tracker called "Googlepagerank"? lol

    A rank tracker is software that check your Google rankings for certain keywords.
