I just did a search for zebra striped man thong. It actually was kinda funny where we rank (1 & 2 but I have cookies on this machine and it knows I love SEO Chicks) and kinda creepy what we rank with!

Julie, your posts are frickin’ hilarious. I see I’ll need to step up my game when I finally get off my ass and contribute a post to this blog.

For checking where you are ranked on long tail or short keywords for that matter check out SEOmoz’s new RankChecker. http://www.seomoz.org/rank-checker

Also check out Advanced WebRanking, but don’t tell anyone you heard it from me =) Scraping? Nahhhh, cough cough..

Hi…I used to get this information from Google sitemaps, although I don’t currently use that. There are a few decent automatic ranking report software systems out there but generally speaking, you may be better off just coming up with potential ones to check on your own and doing them by hand. Automatic queries can sometimes do bad things if you abuse them.

Does anyone have any particular tools that could help with this? It’s a fantastic question.

At the moment I’m loving ranking #3 in the UK on Google for SMX Advanced, #3 (after 2 YouTube entries) for berries and cream (even though the ad isn’t on air over here, it’s our single largest traffic driving phrase) & #1 on MSN UK for does youtube make money

Of course as Lisa B points out, I probably shouldn’t rely on these to pay the bills!
