SEO: Google Page Ranking in Different Countries
This is a great and very accurate little tool to check the google ranking of your website for different keywords and in different countries. This tool gives you an idea of how all your efforts of SEO, link building etc. are giving results. This ranking tool takes into account many changes that have been implemented on Google during the last 1 year or so. According to the developer, Google ranks a website based on more than 200 factors, out of this the most simple and yet most important factor is keywords, but there is surely more to it. When you search for any keyword, say “buy flowers”, Google returns a set of results, but what many people don’t know is that the set of results for the same keyword will be different for someone else who is sitting on another PC. Why is that?
The answer is simply in front of you, have you noticed that Google has changed its homepage quite a bit during the last 1 year? Now Google gives you the option to customize your search (on the left side of Google home page) based on timeframe (results from last 1 year, 1 month etc) and on your country (custom location). Furthermore, Google takes into account the location from where you are searching. Therefore, Google search results for a keyword in U.S.A. will not be similar to results of the same keyword in U.K. This great tool lets you choose your local Google and determine your ranking for keywords in your own language. This of course includes google.gr and the ability to use Greek keywords. If it’s not working for your site try using the http://example.com version of your site, instead of http://www.example.com.
