    UK Keyword tracker

    If you want to set your default Google search result for US, select United States of America (.com) and for Britain it is United Kingdom (.co.uk). For Indian search result you should select India (.co.in) and for Australia, it is Australia (.com.au) respectively. This toolbar has the option to pick numerous countries.


This toolbar is really helpful for an Internet marketer especially if he is targeting the audience of another country. Since different country searches have different SERP system, none can predict the correct keyword rank at audience location by searching for the keyword position at his location. This tool helps him get nearly accurate search result rank of a keyword in his audience country by setting his home country as the audience country. For example, if an Internet marketer in India or China wants to track the rank of his website in USA or UK, he can use this tool.
