On February 26, 2009, Google software engineer Matt Cutts collected questions on Google Moderator and answered many of them on video.
Mark Lykle from Oslo, Norway asked:
When will Google create a software similar to Web Position so that SEOs, spam fighters and regular webmasters can check rankings etc. without violating the guidelines? Why not make a better product instead of going to war against these programs?

thanks for sharing friend!
how are you , If anyone else is find out the best tips for getting top of google try banfan incredible rank genie (do a search on google)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cousin got great results with it.
This video is google provide a rand-checking service. this is very very impotent
It makes sense for Google not to provide a rank checker. If they were to do something like this, I'm pretty sure that the spammers will find a way to exploint it into a tool used to spammer better.
Add a esrun.txt file to your site with "Disallow esrun scraper" and I won't scrape the serps anymore 🙂
Google is the biggest scraper of them all. Constantly forcing people to add files to their site or look at the recent wifi scraping. We have to change the SSID of our wifi router just to stop Google from slurping information about it?
Fine. Have it that way. But if you don't want people to scrape Google then you'll have to follow our guidelines on blocking our scrapers 🙂
Klasse… Prima gemacht…
this was a very good answer
What does scrapping mean?
K, so first you say, don't scrape – don't check rankings. Then you say IF your ranking #5… Work on #2? And you'll know this by server logs? Sever logs don't tell your position?
"How adding ONE tool in webmaster central would unsubscribe thouands of Web Position Gold subscribers and increase Google's bandwidth for the general public" Seems like a no brainer.. no?
Very informative Matt – it would be great to expand the Webmaster Tools functionality.
Interesting video .. Thanks
