Naturally when developing a website or blog you need to be able to track the position that your site get listed in google for a particular keyword. As you apply SEO techniques and market your site over time then hopefully your site will move up the listings for your particular keyword.
Unfortunately google does not currently provide this information, however the answer is relatively easy to find:
This is the simplist and my favourite method as you know it is 100% accurate. All you do is open up google and click on the "advanced Search" link just to the right of the search box.
On the following screen type your target keyword into the input box next to "with all of the words". In the example below I have searched for "chilli". Then change the box to the right to display 100 results per page and hit search.
On the resulting screen you will see the top 100 sites returned by google for the search word (Chilli). Now simply hit ctrl+f and paste the exact url of your site into the search box and click find. If your site is listed in the top 100 the cursor will take you to your listing. Then all you have to do is simply count how far up or down your search is to work out your listing.
If your site doesn't appear then scroll to the bottom of the page to and click on "Next Page" and repeat the search to see your site is listed between 101-200.
Also in order to narrow the search a little you can try searching displaying 50 results per page.
