Great tool, Aaron is there anyway you can add uk.msn.com and uk.yahoo.com to the tool? I could give my clients ranking reports then. Some of them have asked for these, I usually tell them to get bent and say what would you rather me be doing working on your rankings, or checking on them? This tool could make it easy though.
@Eavesycheck out "advanced web ranking" software. It lets you check rank across tons of search engines, including the UK versions. Its cheap too.
Aaron always makes really cool tools, but this one didnt work for me. Wasnt even close in actual SERP positions. Before you ask, yes, I check across a hole bunchload of dataservers, and from different locations (Ive got a server in Dallas and another one in LA). So its funny that it didnt pan out, yet.

It clusters 100 results per page to minimize scraping on Google. That clustering can cause a shift in ranking compared to only seeing 10 results per SERP.
Also worth noting that search personalization settings can alter your rankings.
I know everybodys all hyped up in the fight against spam, but does that mean I cant recommend software to someone? Im guessing thats why Ive got -2
Wow, this looks like a really nice and easy to use tool! Thanks Aaron!
@DarkMatterI think people who do not already know each other web presume things to be spam if they seem commercial in nature. I voted for you so now you are back up to even. :)
Useful SEO tool! Thanks, Aaron!
Useful Tool,Thanx Dave for Sharing
@seobook - Aaron, sorry if I seemed like I was trashing the tool. Ive got all your other ones, and this one now too. However, I did check for the effects of personalized search, compared searches based from different geographic locations. But, Im still a dummy so my exercize doesnt count. However, Im wondering - "It clusters 100 results per page to minimize scraping on Google. That clustering can cause a shift in ranking compared to only seeing 10 results per SERP."Wouldnt that skew the results effectively enough to not give you an accurate reading?
I am thinking of adding an option for grabbing 10 results per page too. 100 will show different results for many queries, but still get a good general idea of about where you are.
this cool tool rules ... from who else, Aaron
