Check Your Search Rank
One of the most important things that you need to do when trying to make money online is to make sure your website or blog is actually seen by people searching for your topic or product. Many people just search the keywords they have and hope they can find their site. This takes time and can be very annoying if your site is not listed on the first or second page.
There is a better way to check these things the one I like to use is the Fire Fox add on Rank Checker. It gives a ton of information on any site and keyword you choose. My design blog ranks 97th on Google and 11th on Yahoo for interior design tips, I consider that very good considering I hadn’t been targeting that keyword. This blog doesn’t show up for anything. I was expecting that as I also have not done a lot of SEO on this blog either. It’s also a very competitive market and since I’m not trying to make money with this blog I’m not going to stress about advertising it. Hopefully people find it helpful and tell others or link to me.
For my other blogs and my get paid to post forum, traffic is very important. So I am checking to see where I stand and what I can do to improve it. Right now I’m concentrating on my design blog and the keyword interior design tips. I’m also working on my forum with the keywords get paid to post forum, and make money online forum. You have to know what keywords you want in order to even start a good SEO project. Having the Rank Checker tool can really help you do this, that way you can start on words you may already have a good rank in, but not a great rank.
