Track Keyword Ranking History and More

I just ran across a site called RankPulse, which tracks the top ten ranking of sites returned for 1,000 popular keyword searches on Google. I ran across the site because one of my domains, sandbergventures.com ranks in the top ten for the keyword “internet business“, which happens to be one of the 1,000 keywords that RankPulse tracks.

A few useful application of RankPulse:

• Monitor the RankPulse Index, which represents the number of positions websites moved within the top ten for a particular keyword among the 1000 keywords tracked. A noticeable increase in this index could be the result of a significant change in Google’s algorithm.
• Get a glimpse of the relative volatility in rankings for a given keyword by analyzing the ranking history of the sites listed for that keyword.
• Track the keywords for which any give site is ranking. Just going to http://www.rankpulse.com/www.anydomain.com, will give you a list of all the keywords for which the given domain has had a ranking for any of the keywords that RankPulse tracks.

This site would be a lot more useful if they tracked more keywords, but even with just 1,000 keywords the site provides a lot of valuable information and is very interesting to browse.
