For those of you who are into stats and checking where they rank for what keyword etc, then Search Engine Genie is a cool free tool that allows you to do all kinds of SEO related checks.

For example you can check your back links, compare your site to those of your competitors, check your position on Google and Yahoo for any given keyword you target, check your current and future page rank on Google and so much more.

Be warned though as this site will probably keep you busy for hours. The more you see, the more you try to check and before you know it you will have spent quite some time. When I target certain keywords for my niches, I normally like to check where I stand and whether they climb Google.

So far I had to rely on Shoemoney’s Serp tool which always bothered me somewhat since I’m sure Shoe can actually spy on all the searches and check out why this certain person always checks for the one keyword. So I never felt 100% comfortable. He might not bother with this at all, but I know that if I had this tool on my site I would certainly go and check stats every now and then and repeated searches would stick out like a thorn.

Therefore I’d quickly see if and who keeps searching for the same keyword on a given site.

With the SEG, I don’t have to worry about that anymore as it isn’t hosted on a particular blog as such.

Plus every time I visit Search Engine Genie I find something new to check out.
