Everybody loves to track their blog’s progress in Search engines. Search engine position checkers help in determining whether you are affected by major algorithmic updates and your SEO strategies are driving nuts or not!

Even slight spike on your SE position checkers can get you motivated to blog. It’s also very important to track the progress of your blog in search results. You should not be fully dependent on the figures provided by Webmaster tools, as they are inaccurate.

Statistics of a blog should be maintained so that it will be useful for future references or even a case study.

It also helps you understand the ranking mechanism of various search engines like Google, Bing, etc.

Let it be.
