SERP Archive

March 15th, 2007

Is there an archive of SERPs from Yahoo, Google, and MSN?

Our travel stuff has owned some pretty competitive keyword phrases for years, and I need to be able to show somebody that I have a long history of having top positions across the big three. Is there anywhere that I can point somebody to check on search queries from present and past?

For instance, I would want to tell them to look at a query on “widgets” in Google from six months ago, 12 months ago, 24 months ago, 36, etc…

I’d hate to have to dispel the impression that we are some Johnny-come-lately that recently got lucky.

Yes? No? Sometimes?

    The size of google’s index at the present is mind boggling; I can’t imagine how much it would take to store the results of all queries being done for multiple points in the past. However, if you limit that to only certain queries, and only the first few pages of results for that query, then I’m sure it would be possible to do/have. Whether or not someone has already done so, I don’t know. If not, perhaps we should :)

    Hey Dave:

    That’s what I was afraid of. I figured I would have stumbled across it at some point, had such a resource existed…

    Greg - If you have had analytics running on the site perhaps you could show that data
