Which SERP/rank checker should I choose?

There are gazillions of different sites and programs out there, and I've tried my share, but none have the features/accuracy I want.

I need the following:

1. To be able to update the SERPs of ALL my sites with one push of a button.

From what I've experienced, most programs/sites have you add one site+KW's at a time, and then you have to do that for each site every time you want to check SERPs. Sure, some allow you to save each site as a project, but you still have to load each and every one and click "Start".

2. It has to be accurate. I've tried programs that had the above feature, but the results seemed to conflict with other programs/sites/my own manual searches. Some programs seem to leave out youtube or other sites from the results. So while the program may tell me that I rank #3, it's actually #4 due to a youtube site being #3.

Other than that, graphs, reports and other goodies are always nice, but 1 and 2 are the main features I need.

Doesn't matter if it's free or not.

Cheers,

Andy

    Yes, most of sites are just allowed to check 1 serp each time. I don't know if there is any site out there can check the serps of all sites each time.

    I gave Advanced Web Ranking a try, but I can't seem to find out how to add all my websites and URL's in an easy to read overview? Is there even such a function? From what I can gather, I still have to open each website as a project on its own.

    Does it enable you to put all your sites + keywords into one easy to read overview, so that I won't have to load one project for one site and so on?

    If your using rank checker everyday with 3-4 preferred search engines chosen and around 30 keywords after awhile you will run into google making you use captchas.

    It took me a over a month to realize I should be using private or shared ip's for this and not my own.
    and updating the settings in rank checker accordingly.

    Does anyone know if this could result in google penalizing the sites your checking if you do this too often without any shared or private ip's?

    Honestly, I've tested many trackers and in the end chose serpfox.com - results are pretty accurate, completely hands off and no bs service.

    "Microsite Masters" have been getting good reviews lately, but I honestly can't be bothered to switch to a different provider, because serpfox.com does everything I need.

    Don't obsess too much with tracking your rankings... I check my tracking panel once a day and get on with more important tasks.

    Something more I wanted to add about serpfox:

    1. Good support.
    2. Updates every 4 hours.
    3. Tracks up to top 500 results.

      i've tried all of the above.. and the simplest, fastest, most straightforward tool for the job would be rankerizer.. it's free.. try it out.

    Sorry ... rank checker has nothing on my seo tool. We used to use Raven SEO but the issue was it took FOREVER to populate results and they only updated the results weekly. My SEO Tool allows you to track geographic results and updates their results daily. It has a "client" login and provides graphing for all the keywords. It will also help analyze your back link strategy and show you how many of your links have exact anchor text for your phrases.

    I like sescout.com. You get 10 urls/keywords for free and 50 for 14.99 a month. You can separate domains and keywords into categories. Doesn't use your ip to check the rankings. I like them alot. Wish they had an affiliate program and I would rep them more.

    Do you want a SERP tracker where you have to tell it to run everyday, or would you rather a SERP tracker that runs on its own (you just log in everyday and you see the results automatically)?
