This nifty online tool will tell you where your pages rank for specific key words you are targeting. This gives you the most accurate picture of how you stack up against your competition.Ranking.com
Ranking.com ranks your site relative to all other sites on the Internet. They use criteria like unique visitors, links to your site, page views, etc ti determine where your site belongs in the pecking order.
