I have reviewed numerous rank checkers as well as SERPs trackers and ranking comparison tools in the past. But that’s always great to have a choice. So this time I am reviewing a new player in the field – a nice looking keyword position checking and monitoring utility.
KPMRS is a web-based tool where you can quickly check your site rankings for one word in Google, Yahoo and Bing (without login) as well set up tracking for as many as 5 words per site and multiple domains (after you join).
Inside you will find:
- Handy and usable interface (I like the way you can quickly switch between domains and keywords);
- Email alerts once your rankings change;
- Ranking history (graphed on a flash chart);
- Exporting and printing options;
- Social activity tracker;
- Backlink tracker (it’s just about the number of your site backlinks based on Yahoo! and Alexa);
- Facebook integration (to "share your rankings with Facebook friends").
The features I personally enjoyed:
Email alerts
I really liked the email alert feature which seems to work pretty well. The email alert looks like this:
The link in the email brings to the brief report showing how rankings have changed:
Ranking graphs
Keyword position change is represented on a handy graph:
What I didn’t really like:
- Inadequate navigation options: for example that change report I mentioned above lacks any linked numbers. I’d love to click on the position number to be taken to the actual graph.
- Only 5 keywords per domain.
- No social activity tracker: you can check the actual numbers but why not add some tracking ability?
Conclusion: a very easy-to-use useful tool for small sites and blogs.
More related reviews:
- RankSense (for a serious approach);
- Exact Factor (rank checking and comparison);
- SheerSEO (which has switched to paid model).
The tool was reviewed under SEJ policy.





Thanks for putting up a nice review for us Ann.
Just to let all know, we now have social activity monitoring as well. Apart from that,
- our iphone application has just launched (yesterday).
- we are coming up with a Firefrox toolbar as well.
- integration with google anlaytics
so keep an eye on our website to see updates :)
Thanks again and I look forward for more feedback here.

Hi!
Sometimes I have heard that this kind of automatic checker could harm your site. What is your opinion about this?
everything is done by IP addresses. searchengines can ban your IP and not your site. Your IP changes every time when you connect to the internet so essentially, your site’s rank is nothing to do with these tools.
Thanks Ann for sharing the site, it really works and helps me a lot in checking my ranking on different keywords.
