You have to search keywords and note down the position every day – its a head cracking task and you may get frustrated many times (say, you get a surge in position or if you want to track 100′s or 1000′s of keywords).

Thanks Mr. Ven! These look to be great tools. I will definitely try some of them. I already use many great tools on my site itself, but the blog is a little harder to optimize…until now!
