I'd like to see a simple line graph of a keyword and my position in the SERPs for that keyword plotted over a time.
For instance, I'd like see my position for the keyword "folsom county apple juice" at a certain point in Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr... etc.. Options for weekly, monthly, yearly.
I was at an SEO talk once and asked about that, and I got some canned response like "search optimization isn't a 'keyword' focused business anymore".
Maybe that's true, but I can see the ranks in Google Webmaster tools, and that's what I'd like to see plotted. I don't even care if it's an approximation, what I'm mostly interested in is the trend line. Am I moving up or moving down over time?
Granted, I'm pretty lazy and this might exist, but I've looked at a few services and I haven't seen it yet.
My biggest frustration is just the whole black-box-ness of it all. Why is a site that I have on the frontpage of Bing but on page four of Google for the same keyword? That sorta stuff.
An open-source search engine, if possible might solve that problem. In which case it would probably tell you that you need more high authority back links.
Nice idea. Maybe a WordPress plugin that could search for identical text strings and present an interface with options for how to handle the content (301, delete, etc.)? a quick search for "WordPress duplicate content plugin" didn't reveal much.
