What is the best way to check your own site for keyword rankings, e.g if I wanted to target a new phrase and wanted to check the progress of its ranking - what is the best way to check it? Should I just search Google and scroll through the results?

Get into your niche, relate to people that matter in your niche, use social media to bring people to your website, connect with your (potential) customers. He doesn't mention the Search API, because he doesn't have to (Google TOS: 'do not send automated queries to Google') and because it's besides his point (see comment below).

Chrome has a beta traffic tracking toolbar that displays the general PR of a sit with google, bing, yahoo etc.

checking your server logs? Why not Analytics and Webmaster tool? They have history and progress.

EXACTLY! Matt, as nice ad all as he is always seems to forget that we're running a business (most of us), not a blog site where there's nothing to track but engagement. Yet another video where Matt has glossed over the original questions with some predictable Google boilerplate.

Hi! Nice point and I fully agree - watch your logs, not the SERPs. What about supporting us webmasters by adding the "cd" GET-parameter to the conventional search result referrers ("/search?") like the are passed with the "/url?" referrer type? This would help us a lot on our way to a better analysis. I've already suggested this (to JohnMu) at the german GWMT. In my case, only a third of the google referrer URLs come in with the /url format _and_ position data. Regards, Thomas

Sorry Matt, completely missing the point. If we KNOW what keywords convert and we KNOW what keywords generate the highest ROI, why NOT target those keywords? Why not check the progress of that keywords? I think you miss the point with a lot of your videos completely as you don't have ROI to measure, you don't have revenue generating keywords that you need to track. You should bear this in mind when doing future videos. I notice that you didn't even mention the search API?

Thanks for the answer. But sounds like Google is really helpless. I happed to have that problem (big penalty) and there wasn't even a simple hint in the Webmaster Tools. What should I do when I must/want that particular domain because it's my name/trademark/... ? I am sorry but for me it sounds like Google did surrender to the spammers but not solving the problem in order to help us "normal" guys. :-(

Matt, Will the Ajax API be able exported to some type of report, etc? Via Google analytics? Google Webmaster Tools? For Historical Data to show SEO Clients? Great advice on video .. we know what phrases convert, etc.. but need to show client progress on those terms as justification for SEO payments.
