There's a useful free tool at http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/keywords/ that allows you to track keyword rank against your websites. It saves you the trouble of paging through all the SERP looking for your ASCII site listing.

All you need is an API key (free) from Google and for Yahoo and MSN, a little script uploaded to your server.

It doesn't seem to work for unicode URLs and keywords, even though they seem to display correctly.

How do you track how your IDN site is doing in the SERPs?

Put the punycode in there... It should work.

Cool, thanks -- punycode works for Google.

Is there a tool you use for tracking keywords in Yahoo.co.jp?

Ah Ok sorry
I do use a commercial product.

www.advancedwebranking.com

I'm also developing a commercial Japanese software but IDNs will come in version 2(later in the fall).
I couldn't include it in the release schedule I had for it.

Great idea, so far, what i did was the manual way - change search results returned to 100 and then search. :)
