Real Time Referrers and HitTail reconsidered (or why the HitTail tracking code gets put back on the site)
April 19th, 2008I made a post a couple of days ago about Real-TimeReferrers.com
and how it was a good alternative for getting better SERP rank,
especially for the known good keywords actually used in the searches.
After a few days, the situation has changed,
mostly due to my newfound use of Google Analytics.
I’ve returned from my straying to the
SEO-licious SERP-enhancing keyword goodness that is HitTail.
I’ve returned to HitTail for a few compelling reasons.
First reason:
HitTail (the free version) saves more than the last 20 referrals
(unlike Real-TimeReferrers.com), which helps since I’m not always
at the site grabbing referrals as they’re generated.
Second reason:
Being able to export the reports to a .csv file -
not that I do it that much but it’s a great option to have.
The link rating (which shows up in the .csv file) also helps to
assess the link’s SERP ranking. I mostly do manual checks for unusual
search terms to check SERP ratings.
Third reason: The to-do list is just icing on the cake.
It’s great to have something on the site that makes applying
your keyword strategy an on-site option and not offline.

There’s a site that I use called SEOGroup.com to track my Google SERP positions. You can submit up to 3 keywords per report. The site link is http://seogroup.com/evaluation/ … Its definitly free to use and once it generate the report for you, there’s some helpful hints as well too. Hope this help anyone out there who’s looking for a free seo tool to use.
