We’re happy to announce that SEO Rank Tracker for ExpressionEngine 2 is now available for beta download !

SEO Rank Tracker lets you track your ranks in search engines for given keywords. When you will be following a new keyword, you will be able to choose in which language the query should be done. This module currently supports Google US, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Mexico, China, Japan.

Ranks Auto Update
Ranks can be upated manually, or automatically on chosen criterias. An URL is shown on SEO Rank Tracker home page. You can then call this URL with CRON to active auto-update for ranks. Many web services offer auto CRON calls for free.

Multilingual & Multi Site
Multilingual, this module has been translated into French an English. Feel free to send us your translation !

SEO Rank Tracker also support the Multi Site Manager ExpressionEngine functionality and let’s you track you ranks on multiple websites.

Roadmap
We’re listening to you for SEO Rank Tracker next updates. Here is a list of what’s already planned for soon :
- Notification when a rank is improving
- Multi Site Manager Support (Done !)

Download SEO Rank Tracker v1.0b3
SEO Rank Tracker on GitHub

SEO Rank Tracker v1.0b2 is now available for download. Here are the fixed issues :
Fixed a bug where auto updates didn’t work for some Multi Site Manager websites.
The system now remembers the last version of Google used. Functionality is now Multi Site Manager compatible.

Looks like a cool add-on. 😊

Is adding different regional search engines as simple as editing:

$this->data['search_engines'] = array(
            'google-us' => array('Google US', "http://www.google.com/"),
        );

in mcp.seo_rank_tracker.php and mod.seo_rank_tracker.php or is there more to it than that?

SEO Rank Tracker v1.0b3 has been released. Could be close to final release.

Here are the issues that have been fixed :
- Fixed a database bug for Multi Site Manager feature
- Support of new countries for Google searches : Austria, Czech Republic, Danmark, Ireland and Poland

This is a hack we are not going to support as having different country keys from official release might result in database errors in future versions, but yes, you could add a country by adding a row there. Note that in SEO Rank Tracker v1.0b3, search engine data has moved into a model, under third_party/seo_rank_tracker/models/.

Please feel free to ask if you want us to add specific countries in future releases.

Hi Benjamin, would it be possible to add support for Australia too or let me know how to do it, i.e. see my previous comment.

Edit: sorry, posted my reply before I saw yours.

Australia was almost on time for beta 3 😊

I’m going to give you the line I will add in the next release for Australia support, so you can already start using the add-on before I release it.

Under system/expressionengine/third_party/seo_rank_tracker/models/seo_rank_tracker_model.php, add this line :

'google-com-au' => array('Google Australia', "http://www.google.com.au/"),

After this line :

'google-us' => array('Google US', "http://www.google.com/"),

Awesome, thanks. :D

Hi Benjamin,

I just downloaded SEO Rank Tracker to kick the tires and immediately ran in to trouble.  Please see the attached screen-capture.

I suspect this has to do with recent changes made to CI, I am running EE 2.1.4 beta.

This looks like a really intriguing little add-on so I’ll keep my fingers crossed that this is an easy fix.

I habe the same problem - with EE 2.1.3 Build: 20110411.

Hello Ben,

I am Valerie. I just signed up here. I found this site when I search for a SEO Rank Tracker add-on. Would you mind if this tool is compatible with Firefox? Would love to hear from you.

Dear Valerie

This tool is a module based on the CMS Expressionengine. You can’t use it without Expressionengine.

Hi,

Trying to find out where to get this add-on, seems to be no links out there?

I found the GitHub page

hi benjamin,

this is a absolute fantastic idea. but somehow it doesn’t work…
on google.ch I get the result on page 1 and your module sais “Not in top 100”
please take a look at both screen shots…

I’m on EE v2.2.2
SEO Rank Tracker 1.0b3

when I enter the ?ACT=48 URL all I get is a “1”
do I need to configure something else, or is installing the module enough?
anyways: great Idea… would looove to see it work!

cheers
stefan
