Tools
to monitor your website
You can’t
just put your website on the net with right keywords and all the right touches
and expect your traffic and ranking will remain constant. As the web is an ever
changing landscape, you have to keep track of your own web results like what is
happening with the competition and also the best and highest ranked sites.
There are many useful tools to help you find out what exactly is happening.

Google have the ability to filter search results based on their physical
location called geotargeting. This could be used to determine why your site is
showing in only a certain country. This link can also be used to research the
country location of a particular competitor’s website:
