Thumbshots.com, the site that provides you with the thumbnail images of your Web site is now offering a new tool for search engine ranking. Thumbshots ranking tool allows you to check your site ranking and compare it with different search engines. The ranking tool is made by Thumbshots.org engineers & volunteers and is provided as a free service.
You can type in different keywords to perform searches and see how your site ranked in different search engines. It provides some of the most popular search engines like Yahoo, Google, MSN, AllTheWeb, AltaVista, etc. for you to check rankings for.
Just type in the keyword(s) that you want to search in the search box and select the search engines that you want to see the rankings for. A result will display and you will see the small dots with connecting lines will appear if any links appear in both queries for the terms that you selected. Putting your mouse over the dots will show you the site address and if it's available, a thumbshot (small screen shot) of that website will be shown as well.
The multiple keyword terms was a nice touch. For example, you can enter in the terms for "web design" and "website design" at the same time and the results will be compared on the next screen. While you could optionally check for two different search engines also, the most benefit from this method is checking against a single search engine.
For those of you who wants to locate your website easily, you can type in a site address in the Highlight Site box and the red dot will appear if your site is within the top 100 ranking. This feature requires that you are running Internet Explorer 5 or greater though.
