Navneet Kaushal sheds some light on SheerSEO, an online rank checking tool that his company has been testing since May. Kaushal says SheerSEO's interface is easy to use and yet still packs a number of data-rich features.

The free tool analyzes a given Web site, and then suggests the keywords and pages that should be monitored. "Unlike other online tracking tools that are marred by their ability to track limited keywords, SheerSEO can track almost unlimited keywords," Kaushal says. Then it keeps tabs on the ranking of said pages, sending emails when placements shift, and analyzes stats like keyword density and number of pages indexed.

But there are two major caveats: the tool doesn't track rankings from Live Search, and users cannot track multiple Web sites with a single ID. "On the scale of 5, we rate this online tracking tool as 3.5 due to its non-compatibility with Live.com. Still, this is a really excellent tool and it is our recommendation that all Webmasters should definitely try it out."
