Rank Tracker keyword research and rankings checker
See how Universal Search(videos, images, etc.) affects your ranks and traffic
It's no secret that over 50% of search engine results pages now go with Universal Search boxes (shopping, news, images, Google places, and so one) onboard. These boxes mix up with usual top 10 rankings and lure a juicy bunch of searchers' clicks.
Most likely, you already know that Rank Tracker lets you easily monitor your and your competitor's positions in these boxes to track the effectiveness of your Universal Search optimization efforts.
But more to that, with Rank Tracker you can monitor how Universal Search boxes actually affect your site's rankings and traffic and use this data to shape up your SEO strategy the most effective way.
Say, a keyword suddenly starts bringing less traffic to your site. Formally you haven't lost your position, but an image results box now interferes in Google's top and wins over some of your clicks. Being in the know of what has happened, you wouldn't waste your time and effort on fighting with windmills (let's face the truth: trying to win back your clicks is of very little use in this case). You'll go and squeeze some extra clicks from other keywords, not affected by Universal Search, instead.
And that's exactrly the data Rank Tracker puts at your fingertips: see what Universal Search boxes enter or leave Google's top, how they effect your website and choose the most profitable keyword niches to apply your SEO efforts to.

Track rankings of many pages optimized for the same keywords
How about storming into Google's top with a whole bunch of your site's pages? That's what Rank Tracker will help you up with.
Besides tracking the best ranking URLs of your site, Rank Tracker lets you check rankings of different pages you optimize for the same keywords. You can easily monitor how they're doing in search results: with Rank Tracker you can check their current rankings or compare ranking progress over time in clear-as-noonday tables and visual graphs.

LinkAssistant link management tool
See how stiff the competition in your targeted keyword niche is
Quite often it's not at all easy to figure out whether a niche is worth entering at all. KEI is a great way of figuring whether a keyword is worth competing for, but if you have more time and want to do more advanced research, you would go and look at every competitor on page 1 of Google for your potential keyword.
Will you try to outrank Burger King, McDonald's and Subway for the "sandwich" keyword? Will you try to outrank 10 sites, each one 8 years old and with a million backlinks and PageRank 7 for a keyword "order pizza"? Check out how stiff the competiton for your targetted keyword is and see if the niche's worth your effort.
You can use (surprisingly!) LinkAssistant to assess your chances.
