Search Engine Placement Tools

How many indexed pages?
A great tool for checking how many pages you have indexed on five big search engines. Very nice indeed.

How many web pages do you have indexed?
Great summary and display. Lists links from five big search engines. Compare the numbers generated with the other links here.

Graphical search engine comparison
A really interesting tool but yet to find a really interesting use for it. You pick two search engines (or the same two) and compare listings with two search terms of your choice (or the same). It then shows graphically where the same site appear in the top 50 or 100 sites, so you can see how performance is different for different search engines. A great tool of little real use.

Search engine position
You tell it the website and the search term, and it tells you where you appear on Google. Saves counting time but is a blunt instrument at best.

Spider Simulator
Simulates a spider reading your site. Check to see which information is available to a spider and which is hidden in images, javascript and bad coding.

Another Spider Viewer
This tool simulates a search engine by displaying the contents of a web page in exactly the way the search engine spider would see it - so they say. Good result listings.

How a spider sees your web site
This spider simulator allows you to specify keywords to highlight. A fairly useful tool.
