Let’s face it. Everyone is trying to add the latest and greatest online marketing tools to their site. It is a way to generate traffic, get some link love and become well known within the online community. But I reached a point where I rarely used any new services because I felt that everyone is copying the same ideas. Well, for the last few weeks I have been using one of the most useful SEO software tools available. Sheerseo offers a service that I am sure will become one of the most popular services online.

I know that every online site spends quite a bit of time trying to improve their ranking for site keywords. Of course, one of the first things everyone does is figuring out where the site ranks for these keywords. That generally involved using different tools that will help place a keyword and check your site ranking through these tools.

The problem:

  • Most small sites will target between 50-200 keywords. Larger sites, can target thousands of keywords. That means that you have to check hundreds of keywords for hundreds of pages.
  • There was no way to track historical position for site for certain keywords. Most sites end up using a manual process of tracking site progress.

Basically, the process was very labor intensive.

The solution

Sheerseo solves each of these problems.

Sheerseo

The site allows you to add up to 200 keywords to check for your site ranking: The interface to add the words is straight forward to use. The current number of keywords sheerseo tracks is 200 but I am sure they will be expanding this in the future.

•    You can run the query for either Google or Yahoo

Sheerseo

•    It also allows you to view your progress

  • Current & historical referrers
  • Word density
  • Indexed pages

SheerseoOverall, I was very happy with the service. I am sure we will be hearing a lot about Sheerseo in the next months.

Sheer seo looks like a good tool. It looks like it just streamlines many of the activities webmasters do.

Wow, this looks like a very useful tool. I’m looking into it now. Thanks for the heads up.

I don’t get it. What is so different or special about this tool? Doesn’t Web Position, Arelis, and others do this and a lot more? What am I missing?

@Vertical Measures I am not familiar with the tools you mentioned. However, Sheerseo is provided for free at this point!

Hi,
First I want to thank Khalid for the well thought review he gave.
Now, @Vertical Measures, you are right that there are many issues already covered by other seo tools. What makes sheerseo stand out in the crowd here is the fact that this is an seo online service that focuses on monitoring seo indications. This solves a lot of issues, like the fact that you don’t need to download anything and no install is needed. Second, you can see the indications from anywhere in the world, just login and see your current status from anywhere - including your cell phone, that is what I do. Third, we track those indications historically - so you can try to correlate activity you did with the progress gained in serps. Another nice thing is that we can show the results in a different location then where you are living, this is very helpful if you live in Europe and target US customers for example (since Google results are localized).

Well, there are more special features that are on their way, so keep an eye on our service(;

Looks useful, especially the fact that you can access your results anywhere - that feature could really be a benefit over the competition.

The best way to get a lot out of this kind of software is to restrain the number of keywords you track, but track them finely with every small tweak of your content. 10-20 keywords is usually more than enough.

Nice tool and article. I mainly use the free tools on digitalpoint, but will try to give Sheerseo a spin in the near future.

 
Krumpet Says -- March 7th, 2008 at 1:42 pm

The one thing that concerns me is Sheerseo collecting all my information and selling it to my competitors. So, Sheerseo, what data do you collect and what do you do with it? Privacy is me #1 concern.

 
sheerseo seo software Says -- March 7th, 2008 at 1:52 pm

We respect your privacy. Nothing will be done with your data! It is only for your usage.
