Just about an hour ago I put the final few touches to our new, but rather bare SEO tools compilation - SEM Labs. Over the coming years this will be my main extra curricular project; with the main focus being the acquisition of old domains. I would be very grateful to anyone who has any ideas for new and innovative SEO tools to suggest them with a comment.
RankCheck
The first tool that I have been using for a while to monitor the SERPs without trawling through them myself is RankCheck. This tool allows you to monitor what position you are ranking in different countries on Google, Yahoo, Windows Live and Ask. Currently we only support searches on .com, .co.uk, .it, .es, .fr and .de. If anyone would like an extra country added post a comment below with the country.
Currently the tool is server-side, which could cause problems with overuse. If this is the case, I hope to make a JavaScript version of RankCheck and also package it as a Firefox extension.
The Old Domain Digest
The Old Domain Digest is the first of hopefully a number of tools we will be producing to allow people to find old domains with SEO value (PR, links, age and traffic). All domains listed are currently for sale by their owners. To help those new to buying old domains, I have put together a guide. Stay tuned for 1000s more domains over the coming weeks.
This is an excellent site and first i've ever seen where you can check up on old domains for sale.
One question though, wheres the information on the domains / sale status coming from ?
Is there going to be a release of the source code ?
All the information has thus far come from SEDO. The domains are currently for sale by their owners. I also plan to add more domains from Afternic. No source code release is planned.
Encountered a few small bugs today with the popup over box style form validation for the fields and also a bug when searching for results on a domain (rank checker) and then changing the domain
Well it's very good resource for checking the ranking of the site. Well ranking is very important in SEO field as it decides the growth of the site. Thanks for this information.
I've found your rank check tool really useful and sorry to see it go offline.... back to manually checking I guess. Hope you can get the script to work within Googles TOS soon.
Chis I like your site. Unfortunatly the tool will not be coming back unless Google bring back the search API. Google have really cracked down on the ammount of queries you can send them. You used to be able to do unlimited PageRank lookups, but now if you do too many you will get a temporary ban. I guess some large companies are permeneantly banned from too much toolbar lookups.
Sounded like a realy useful tool, shame its not up and running. Its good to have an all-rounder tool that can complete many tasks. Gues its back to trawling the web for another tool :(
