Second of all, since this Q&A is centered on the ways one measures the results of the link building efforts, I have a little favor to ask from you, Dan.

I've recently done a search on google.com for the word: men's fitness magazine [thus the ser was: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=men%27s+fitness+magazine&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

In the first position I encounter this site: http://www.mensfitness.com

but what's wierd about the first serp is the fact that two small indents appear. They don't look like the random sitelinks attributed by Google, nor like the double indent.

It's actually a triple indent…

Dan, what's up with that? Did you find anything similar? If so, can you please explain or at least denominate the feature?

I'm puzzled but in the same time wondering if this is a new Google experimental feature or not.

Best of luck and Godspeed.

I haven't done anything illegal, that I know of. I've redirected 2 older domains to point to this one, but that's about it.

Any ideas or tips?

I had a single page that spiked and received 500+ visitors in one day (specifically from search engines) and now when I do a site:domain.com/* it's like the 4th page listed, when originally it was probably 50+.

So that makes me think that Google can "see" what pages are getting high traffic and does SOMETHING in their SERPS based on that info.

Pretty interesting to me.

What does the order of pages listed when I do a site:www.mysite.com tell me?

Do I assume that Google is listing the pages in order of importance (PR?) based on their indexing?

Does this tell me the most relevant pages within my [main indexed] site?

If this is true then wouldn't I want to use these first list of pages to help get my supp pages indexed properly?

I've had some pages that I've been working on move up higher on that list. So it's making me wonder.

Thanks, Paul

Still on the topic of keyword tracking tools. I've been reading that certain tools that submit automated queries to Google in order to check keyword rank risk facing an IP ban.

Is this a real risk?

I have just checked out DigitalPoint's Keywords tracking tool, and can't get it to work due to the Google API issue.

I am now comparing Web CEO and WebPosition Gold for keeping track of SEO efforts on a portfolio of sites.

Does anyone have recommendations on the best keyword tracking tool?

Thanks in advance.
