Which Search Engine Position checker do you use?

I was using Seo Power Suite but found it slow for large number of keywords.

I switched to getstat.com It's like Fiat VS Ferrari.

Rank Tracker and manually with pagewash.com.

Don't us this!! They do not support it, it's always down and by far the worst I have used to date.

How would you ever know which one is most accurate?

SERP checkers have gone the way of the dinosaur. I'm not sure
why any SEO person is even talking about them. Social has
done in truly "organic" results.

Think about it. Google (and others) take into account your
location, what you have searched for, what pages you
have surfed, what ads you've clicked, ....time of day,
....literally everything and anything.

How many people do you think do searches anonymously?
Now compare that to those who don't or can't.

I find myself doing more and more searches from my smartphone.

Google is tailoring almost every search to be more current and
personalized.

There is a way, but it's like counting fish in a lake. You can't
count all the fish.

Log into any program that gives an accurate account of what
people are searching for when they get to your site. Assume
that your page showed up on the first page. You can
then get a rough idea of what real words people are searching
for when getting to your site, and how you rank.

The thing is, when doing that, you will see that for the last
100 visitors, maybe 75 had different search phrases.

Exactly.

Exactly why SERP checkers are for the most part
bogus, and why people screaming how they rank #1 for this
or that are just not looking at the big picture.

Feel free to bash!

I use the one in my signature, since I wrote it. It is completely free and will graph the last 30 days so you can spot trends. It also tracks best, last, and allows you to choose from 50+ google regions. It is an on-demand checker, but it is automated so you can check 20 keywords at the click of a button and see the detailed results. You can even highlight up to 3 competing domains. It will also do a little on-page SEO check for you.

For those checking manually, ouch. For 5-10 keywords that may be fine, but 20, 50, 100+ manually and recording the results too? Automated tools are the way to go. Again, check my signature for a great free site.
