Well it wasn’t an easy answer because I wanted to give our customers a recommendation that I felt was at least as good as MasterSiteManager.

And while I never would have admitted it while we were online, we did have a competitor that offered a very similar service with some extra “bells and whistles” that MSM just didn’t have.

After testing all our competitors software personally, I kept coming back to one particular company because they simply offered the best tracking, ease of use, interface and pricing.

Yes they are  $5.00 more expensive then we were at the Starter level, but it offers some very cool features that we didn’t and is well worth the incremental price difference.

However, they do offer a free trial account that will let you track 1 URL and up to 10 keywords, which is all some people really need.

Click here to view my recommendation.

1) Simply go to the SEO STATS tab

2) Next look for the URL that you want to add keywords to, and then click the link labeled VIEW in the keywords column for that domain.

3) Lastly, simply click the ADD KEYWORDS button at the top of the page.

You’ll see a pop-up window where you will enter your new keyword or list of keywords.

Enter your new keywords one per line.

Now if adding more than a dozen keywords at a time you’ll often find it faster to create a standard text file with each keyword on its own line.

Then simply copy that text from the text document and paste it into the and add keywords window.

The system will tell you how many additional keywords you can add based on the total allocation of keywords for the account package you’ve selected.

Once you add Press “Add button” the system will start to query your rankings for these new keywords. This may take a few seconds to a few minutes depending upon the number of keywords you’ve added.

Now if you need to track more keywords, please upgrade to the next level account or contact us for pricing.

Now you can give your clients daily, weekly, or monthly reports (branded with your company name) that show them exactly how well their web properties and keyword rankings are doing. You’ll never again have to “try to justify” what you bill your clients, because they can see for themselves just how effective your efforts are.

For many of our clients – both professional search engine optimizers as well as individuals -  this is where the “rubber meets the road” so to speak because the keyword position grid instantly gives you the ability to see exactly how well all of your keywords are doing – at a glance!

Like the “Manage Websites” overview screen, the “Keywords Tab” shows you instantly how effective your current keyword strategy really is, which keywords are doing well and which ones need more work.

The beauty of this page is that you’re instantly able to see “at a glance” exactly how your keywords are ranking for each website you are tracking in Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

Only after you use this feature we you truly understand the power and time savings that it gives you.

As with the SEO stats overview grid, Green numbers mean an increase in something, Red numbers mean a decrease, and black indicates that there has been no change in that keyword ranking..

By using this color code system and presenting all of the major search engines on the same screen, you’re able to immediately get a idea of how well your keywords are doing across the board.

You might have a #1 ranking in Google for a particular keyword but that same keyword only ranks #15 in Yahoo. Time to get to work.

But my favorite part of the Keywords Tracking Overview Grid is that it  gives you the ability to see a trending chart for any particular keyword AND to see how that keyword has performed over a period of time.

Here’s an example:

Let’s say that you see an GREEN number in Yahoo column. This indicates that your ranking for that particular keyword has moved up. (And that’s a good thing right)

To see how many positions it’s moved simply click on any number you see in the grid and the system will launch a chart that displays the ranking and performance of that keyword since the time it was entered into the system.

And of course the longer you monitor that particular keyword is in the system, the greater trend history you’ll develop.

Now to check other stats, simply click the “Jump 2 keyword” link at the top of the page, and the system will drop you back into the overview grid so you can check the rankings for other keywords that your monitoring.

Like the manage websites tab, the keywords stats page lets you sort each column a number of different ways to suit your liking and to reduce the time that you need to spend searching for information.

The bottom line is that if you’ve got a number of sites that your monitoring keywords for, staying on top of the movement of those keywords both up and down can be a real time killer.

Being able to see everything at a glance and know instantly which keywords have moved up and which ones have moved down is a huge timesaver for any webmaster managing multiple sites or for professional SEO’s managing thousands of clients sites.
