Exact Factor: Check your Search Engine Ranking

Exact Factor is a tool which allows you to automatically check your site’s keyword position on three search engines namely Google, Microsoft and Yahoo. Instead of manually searching each search engine for your keyword position and hoping that your site will come out on top of the first page, you can use Exact Factor to find out which page or position your site is on the search result.

The tool is pretty simple and easy to use. Just place your domain/URL and type in a keyword you want to track and which search engine. Exact Factor will return the rank position of your site or page on the search engine(s) that you chose. Anything below the position 10 is pretty good. This means that your site included on the first page of the search result.

The tool is free to use and will only require you to register if you want multiple results and email notification for your keywords. You can also compare results with your competitors and see which one of you is on the lead when it comes to search result ranking. Exact factor also provides a count of how many of your pages are indexed by Google and Yahoo.

The algorithm uses a proprietary blend of over 50 different variables, including search engine data, website structure, approximate traffic, site performance, and others.

Website Grader reported that Orange Inks have some SEO flaws that should be taken care of. Among them are: Having too many Meta Keywords tag (should only be limited to 10 or less Meta Keywords and I have 20); Too many images found (the tip is to have fewer or smaller images. Sometimes simply resizing your images will make them smaller in size, and your web page will load faster );  Two of my images don’t  have alt Text; And last but not least is that my domain will expire in less than a year. Website Grader suggested renewing the domain. The reason for this is that Google and other search engines may penalize websites with domains that are set to expire soon. Many spam sites are often registered for short periods of time.
