Earlier in the week I told you all that caffeine probably wouldn’t change too much in the world of SEO, that if you were being ethical and above board with your optimisation then you wouldn’t lose ranking. Don’t worry, I’m not going back on that, you’re not going to tumble off the rankings overnight when Google finally flips the caffeine switch.
However, the Google search algorithm is an incredibly complex thing and if you’re doing complex SEO work then predicting positions can get very complicated, especially when you’re dealing with hypothetical scenarios like Caffeine.
This is why it pays to check what your caffeine rankings are going to be ahead of time. Luckily, Google has provided numerous tools to help us do just that…
1. Ranking Checker: This tool simply tells you your current Google ranking as opposed to your prospective Google Caffeine ranking
2. Google Caffeine Bookmarklet: A ‘bookmarklet’ that you can install straight into your browser to let you check your rankings with a click
3. Firefox Search bar Plug-In: As the name suggests, this is a plug in that allows you to view caffeine via a Firefox plug-in
4. Google vs Google Caffeine: A very cool toy that gives you a split screen view of Googleresults vs Google Caffeine results
5. Google.ie and Google.de vs Caffeine: Same as the above but for both Ireland and Germany
