The Optimizer - Weekly SEO News

Googletestad or Google Test Ad is a very popular search term that has been ranking in the top 30 keywords at Wordtracker.com for several weeks now. I checked Wordtracker today and it's ranked at 20, one position higher than Britney Spears!

Many websites have been trying to taking advantage of this niche keyword. When performing a search for googletestad in Google, Yahoo and MSN, I found many link farms and various sites devoted to solving the mystery.

Apparently, Googletestad is another name for a google search engine optimization monitoring tool titled: Google Monitor Query.

What is Google Monitor Query? Here's a description from the authors at EasySoftDev:

It is designed for search engine specialists and webmasters who regularly spend
hours of monitoring the ranking of their website at google. The program will
automatically do this annoying job and will give you good statistics about past
searches and website rankings. It also records the website position of your
competitors. It can offer you graphic reports and many useful export
capabilities.

I installed Google Monitor Query 1.4 today and gave it a test run. It's very straightforward, you enter a URL, add your desired keywords and click Check Google. It shows total results for search, ranking postion and the particular page found within your domain.

There's also two more columns, previous postion and best position, that are used as a history of previous searches to keep track of your Google SEO efforts.

Google Monitor Query or Googletestad is shareware and can be purchased for around US$20.

May your 'Googletestad'ing bring you lots of increased online traffic!
