Rand Fishkin, CEO of SEOmoz on seomoz.org dec 14 2006

I’m thankful for finding Ranks.nl at the beginning of my online career. Ranks enables me to make decisions based on raw data unlike other websites who feed me data and values for what they believe is important. From a support/customer service standpoint, Ranks can’t be beat. Damian has always been quick to respond to any questions or concerns and always eager to accept suggestions for improving the site.

Ranks is the only site that I’ve been a loyal member for over the past 5 years.

The keyword density tools at Ranks.nl and Search Engine World are probably the best ones out there though I rarely use either.

Aaron Wall, founder of SEO Book on seobook.com Oct 23 2004

We have been using Ranks.nl for years and have very happy about it. It will give you a suite of pro tools to help your SEO efforts. We like the guys behind it as they are Dutch and therefore have a great understanding of the challenges we face as having a non-english language as our first. Get it before your competitor!

http://www.ranks.nl/tools/spider.html Great to test keyword density – the cloud is a good visual of words. If the keywords you chose to have greater density isn’t then you know to go back to your content and make changes.

Lori Stammer on clientswebsitecompany.com Oct 15 2010

If you want your company’s web site listing to appear prominently on Google searches, your site content should be chock-full of important keywords for your industry. But how many target keywords actually appear on your web site now?

Ranks.NL offers a free tool that helps you get the answers. Just plug in your keywords and URL. The calculator analyzes your site and reports back on how many times your terms appear and whether the frequency is too sparse, too dense or just right.

That is a great tool, nice presentation too!

NFFC on webmasterworld.com Feb 13 2002

An awesome tool that lets you pick and choose from a wide variety of report options. Well designed from the SEO point of view. I especially like the feature displaying which SEO factor (title, desc, keywords, heading, link text, bold, italic, alt) that the keyword phrase appears in. A convenient mouse over feature also displays the full text of the factor. The free version has a file size limitation that should not affect most of your pages.

On 101-seo-resources.com

how do I target a page to a search? The page should follow all the normal rules: Good clean validated html, all CSS, no tables and all the important keywords in the correct places, as much code move to external js or css files. To work out what your page is about Google looks at the text in your page and picks out keywords. Keywords in some places are counted as more important than keywords in others. The important places for keywords are roughly: URL, pagetitle, H1, H2, H3..., alt tags, lists, bold, body, tables ... A very good tool which can make sure your page appears to be what you are intending can be found at http://www.ranks.nl/tools/spider.html
