I have spent a couple of days building a quick SE visibilty tool mainly for my own use. It currently measures lisings and links for the major SE's. It's accessable via soap and I will be adding history stats soon. I have looked around and seen some similar tools out there, but i'm sure there are many more. Please post links to similar tools you have created and maybe we can all learn from different approaches each of us have taken.

Just added an Excel 2003 template to allow querying directly from the workbook. come on, I can't be the only one who's thought of doing this :D Please give it a try. You can build your own trend graphs and update the visibility information as needed. Please note, the service will simply return the same results from the DB within a 24 hour period to reduce traffic to the SE's.

Your tool is fast :D

I take it the graphs are for the history that you will keep?

Yes, if there is more than one request, a history graph will be generated for the URL. I'm still working on that, but it should be done tonight.

I meant to have it done before the holidays but ran out of time. I hope to have it completed this weekend. Also You can get the raw history data from the provided excel template and use the chart wizard to create your own graphs.
