Once your site has been submitted to search engines, you can use the Quick Ranking Tool to check how relevant your site is for different searches. 

1.      Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.

2.      Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.

3.      Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.

4.      Now, select the hosted domain that you’d like to manage.

5.      Click on the Marketing tab.

6.      Click the Quick Ranking icon.

If your submissions to the search engines have been processed, you will be able to proceed on to Step 7.  If not, proceed to step 10.

7.      From the Previous Records:  menu, select a submitted page (or site).

8.      Next, enter the Keywords that you expect users to enter into a search engine in order to find your site.

9.      Finally, click the Check Ranking button.  On the following page, you will be able to see your site’s position in the following search engines: All The Web, Alta Vista, Google, and HotBot.
