The Rank Checker developer told me he just completed our first major update on the extension. From his email...
added international character support
fixed query time saving error in options window
added status icon (right click on the icon to see the whole menu)
fixed linux issues
changed doubleclick behavior (if you want to go to SE results on windows, hold CTRL key and click on the url; on mac hold META key and click on the url), because double click causes some errors on mac os.
To upgrade shall we delete the current plug-in and reinstall?
Is there a way to keep the current list of 20 domains and all the keywords I added?
I hope we can support up to 100 domain/keyword pairs in the upgrade.
What else is nice?
1)Import config data from XLS file - this will allow us to have our own fields defined against each domain/keyword pair. i.e. import, run export, then join to other data.
2) Output the top 30 ranked sites on each of the 3 SEs for each keyword.
3)Allow definition of a Preferred Landing Page in the config file and check rank and on that also.
4) Timestamp on every row of output
If you provide this data we can do all kinds of interesting adds to it.
The first feature can be created from the Excel export...not sure if we will create that directly in the tool as well...I would like to be able to, but need to talk to the developer about that.

Great job on this tool Aaron! It is so user friendly, and will be a great addition to my and other SEO's collection.
I would love to see the ability to store and check more than 20 keywords at a time (maybe 100 or 150?). It would be great to check more of our extensive keyword list.
Hi Aaron, thank you very much for the new plugin. It is very nice and very helpful. Just a few minutes and it is clear how valuable this is. Thanks again!
The plugin looks great. Sorry to be off topic, but I couldn't find a contact email, etc...
I've just launched a similar service at http://www.searchrascal.com. The main differences being (1) it's not right in your browser (2) it shows other results and rankings and (3) it tracks them over time.
Occasionally I am getting an odd result for a keyword I know my client is ranking for. Instead of displaying 1 or whatever the position is it will show 'Undefined'. Can you give me an idea of what this is and why it happens?
Also, for those of you who want to search more than 20 results at a time; this can be done with a few modifications to the Overlay.js file within the /content/ folder of Rankchecker.jar file.
If anyone wants or needs help changing this before it is included within the next upgrade or two (if it is) then contact me at info at 10minutes dot org.
I just spent give or take 30 minutes inputing roughly 100 keywords. This would have been a piece of cake except there are 50 websites therefore two keywords per client basically.
It occurred to me that I have no way to transport this to my laptop or to my home office computer or anywhere. My time spent adding my clients primary two keywords will have to be done for every computer I use this plug-in at. Any plans on a solution around this area in the future?
Also, I am exporting this to CSV which is then read by another document. My ranking file is organized by length of services with my long term clients at the top. Occasionally I am assigned an existing client that I have to put somewhere in the middle of my file instead of at the very bottom. This could potentially screw up the translation of the CSV this tool provides.
My question is ... can you create something that allows us to move a row up and down the list?
Aaron, thanks for responding. The thing is, I only get dashes even when querying multiple keywords that all rank very highly in google. when searching manually, i can find top 20 google rankings for almost all the terms which are returning dashes.
This is a really excellent, convenient, and handy tool.
My only complaint is that you are limited to 20 keywords/keyphrases. Are there plans for a more robust version?
Hi all. Im on XP FF 2.0.0.20 and all my Rank Checker functions are suddenly not responding.
Any ideas? I upgraded the plugin (1.75) but no result, also disabled all other plugins. The plugin looks af is it is running but there is no respons to selecting any of the menu items.
Would love any suggestions and ideas if any one has experienced this issue ... Thanks
