      Is there any tools available that allows users to track ranking of a keyword in SERP over time ?

      I know the question can be a bit confusing so here is an example that I hope makes it a bit easier to understand

      EXAMPLE :

      I am doing keyword research for say "iphones games" and I find out the current sites that rank for the term but If I want to see who ranked for the term 6 months ago or 1 year ago, is it possible ?

      Also can I get data of the SERP ranking history for "example.com"  for the term "iphones games" ? eg : in

      jan 2011 rank 10

      feb 2011 rank 7

      ...

      sep 2011 rank 5

        You can't unfortunately unless you have a campaign set up. You can start one though, you can use Raven SEO Tools for example and you can get it to watch your rankings plus up-to 10 competitors so you can see where they are moving and the data is stored as well, so if you set it up now and want to check in 6 months time, what was happening today for example, you'll be able too. Raven SEO Tools is really well priced as well.
