Dancer

If you are familiar with optimising for search engines you'll understand how important it is to make your page changes and then wait for the re-index (or Dance) before what the making any other changes. But when can you be sure the Dance has happened, and when is it over.

Dancer Lite looks at the 10 'Google Dance' servers. The misalignment of these servers visualises the activity during a re-index.

Dancer Pro goes further still, it compares the ranking and backlinks against the server changes and charts the data. The resulting trends help you predict the next re-index.

Dancer Lite
Version 1.003 now available

The Dancer monitors the various Google servers, so that you can see at a glance whether the servers are different or the same. It compares each server with the first; if different it changes the dot from red to another colour. It then compares the next server; if the same as the first then it'll be the same colour as the first; if the same as the second then it'll be the same as the second; if different again it'll show a completely different colour, and so on.

Most of the time the servers will all line up red, with the occasional server a different colour, and this condition will be stable for long periods. Typically a dance is recognised when the individual servers start changing, indicated by the dots changing colour en masse. The 10 servers are displayed horizontally. Each time the dancer checks the server status (approx 10 mins) the results shift down, showing the history of the last 100 minutes. The half moon indicator above the "Ranking" is a countdown to the next server trawl.

When you start the program you'll be asked to enter a search term and a URL. Enter the term you're most interested in, along with the site whose position you want to monitor. The Dancer will then show you a ranking number, updated at each trawl. The ranking number signifies that URL's position or SERPS for that given search term and URL in Google.com. If you want to change the term or the URL use the "tool" button to reconfigure. Generally a low competition Search Term results in the servers' aligning more quickly, using a high competition Search Term gives a more sensitive "dance" detector.

Dancer Pro

Google was, at one time, fairly predicable. Once a month there would be a re-index.
This would be signified by the 10 Datacentre servers becoming misaligned (see Dancer
Lite). However over the last 12 months predicting the major re-indexes has become
more complicated.

With DancerPro you'll know for sure when a dance occures and how to predict the
next one. By using the graphing system you can watch for the trends that identify
significant events.

After all you wouldn't want to run a SERPs Report (search engine results page) if all
the results weren't in, nor would you want to go making alterations to your optimised
content based on your SERPs if the pages uploaded hadn't been indexed.

DancerPro logs the Server Datacentre changes along with the SiteRanking and the
BackLinks and by pressing the 'Graphs' button will display these results. By reviewing
the results you can see when a 'dance' is really a 'dance' and when it is just
a slight server fluctuation.

RankMonitor

So you have used Dancer and worked out that the re-index is complete, before you go changing your site you need to know your SERPs (search engine results page) position. You can do this manually, go to the search engine type in the search term and try to find where you are. Alternatively this very useful device will look for you and log the results in an easy to read table format.

Due to technical issues Rankmonitor is being updated. Please accept our appologies whilst RankMonitor is unavailable.

Page Analyser Lite

Given two URLs, perhaps yours and one of your competitors, the Page Analyser strips down the Keyword Density on a page. In seconds it identifies how many words on the page, how many are between the <Body> tags, how many keyword and keyphrase repeats are used, how many links exist , it identifies the number of alt tag keyphrase repeats, it also displays picture naming conventions, URL keyphrase elements along with meta description and meta keyword counts.

Whilst keyword density on the page is not as important as it used to be it is still a factor with many search engines, and even those that have pulled away from it have been creeping back to give page and site content more impact.

Compare your Keyword density with those above you : -

Page Analyser PRO

Just like the Lite version the Page Analyser PRO stips down the important components in a page and counts the Keyphrase repeats. Unlike the Lite the PRO version allow the results to be exported to a csv file. This means that you can save all the results of the top 10 sites in a search engine to a single file, compare them with your own results and look for trends and patterns that explain the algorithm.
