One of the biggest challenges for webmasters is SERP placement. SERPS  stands for Search Engine Rank Pages or Search Engine Result Pages. Getting indexed and ultimately to be placed on page 1 of those SERPS is the main goal of any SEO effort. In fact, it is the foundation of SEO for a website to rank for the keywords it is targeting. Without those SERP placements a website misses out on the best traffic, which is targeted and organic, such as the search engine’s, and especially Google deliver.  There are many free SEO tools but some of the most useful ones are those that give information on SERP placement of your websites.

Now, you can check the SERPS manually for each keyword, but believe me this is not only a big hassle, but becomes virtually impossible when you have several websites to manage. Free SEO tools specifically designed to check the SERP placement of a website can really save a lot of time and help the webmaster to stay on top of their SEO efforts. These free SEO tools are also great for alerting to issues, such as websites and blogs falling in the SERPS, so that you can stay on top of and take care of problems areas.

Exact Factor – One of the best free SEO tools for checking SERP placement that allows for specific searches and analyzes the 3 major search engines, Google, Yahoo and Live.

This service provides an initial SERP placement report on the keywords you are targeting. It also provides for unlimited keyword alerts sent to via email when your sites either rise or fall within the selected SERP positions, like page 1, 2, 25, 30.   This is probably the best free SEO tools to SERP placement on automatic for unlimited keywords.

Market Leap SERP Checker – If you want to do a quick check, instead of regular reports and alerts this free SEO tool checks to see if your site is in the top 3 pages of a search engine result for a specific keyword.

SERP Rush – Another quick checker that checks one keyword at a time with page result options and checks all 3 major search engines.

Fast SERP – Another quick checker with several page results options and checks 6 search engines. This one is unique because many of these free SEO tools only check up to Top 10 or 20 pages but this one will query as far as Top 100 or Top 200 pages. This is good when you want to where you are in the SERPS, if at all, even if it’s not the top page results.

Basically you do not need all of these I just like to provide a variety of free SEO tools so you can choose that one that fits your needs.
