Easily Track Google Position


07.16.07 Posted in Search Analysis, Websites by Barry

I’ve used a num­ber of Google Posi­tion Mon­i­tors over the years, most of which can be messy and don’t allow you to see what posi­tion a web­site is at eas­ily, with­out set­ting up a pro­file, cre­at­ing a key­word list, and tak­ing a rather long time. Also most of them don’t work with the Irish ver­sion of Google.

So, I’ve wrote a small script which allows you to eas­ily view what posi­tion a web­site is at on Google.

It requires the best Fire­fox add-on ‘Grease­mon­key

Grease­mon­key is a Fire­fox exten­sion that allows you to cus­tomize the way web­pages look and function.

You can install the add-on here — http://​user​scripts​.org/​s​c​r​i​p​t​s​/​s​h​o​w​/​1​0​687

Google Position Tracker

You can now update your google pref­er­ences to show 100 results per page to give a wider view of where sites are returned.

The script source is avail­able here — http://​user​scripts​.org/​s​c​r​i​p​t​s​/​r​e​v​i​e​w​/​1​0​687 and is a rel­a­tively sim­ple for if loop with some html wrapped around it to give a large red num­ber :)

  • i've installed everything but i still don't see the numbers on the left.

    It will be great if you could fix it. This is exactly what i needed.
  • Let me have another look at the code this weekend, Google sometimes change the SERP layout.

    Barry, this script is no longer working. I think Google have changed their code. It will however count video listings....had a look @ the script but it may as well be Greek. Handy little tool though.
