We all monitor our keyword positions no matter if we think they are important or not. Many SEOs claim they don't believe in rankings, they believe in traffic and conversions - but I don't know a single person who has a website and doesn't care which keywords Google ranks them high for.
Today's tool has been created for fun and as an experiment. I have been building tools this year to gain some experience (you can also check my previous tool that can be used to build the list of your competitors I have reviewed previously).
Today's tool is also Google-based. TweetedRanks offers a fun and refreshing way to track your rankings: via Google Talk or Twitter.
Naturally (because it's new, experimental and free), the...
Let's start this post off with a little quiz. How many daily users does Facebook have? Well, the most recent estimates from Facebook claim 400 million users, about 50% of which check their Facebook page each and every single day, so 200 million daily users sounds like a pretty reasonable estimate.
I can almost see the cogs turning in your head at this moment:
“Oh WOW! I've heard SO MUCH about Facebook. I need to make a...
Welcome to the Playing Field
After all this time that we've spent in SEO-related fields, we all have learned how important link-building is to SEO efforts. After all this time, we have all also discovered, no doubt, that one of the best ways to get an easy backlink is to submit an article to a high-quality and high-PR article directory like EzineArticles or Buzzle, an almost perfect situation.
The only problem with article writing,however, is that it's...
I've been reviewing some campaigns in AdWords Editor and noticed that in AdGroups where my ads just used the singular version of a keyword, that keyword score one point better (out of 10) in Google's Quality Score. (This is on the search network.)
As well, I'm seeing that it makes a big difference to the First Page Bid estimates. Depending on the ad group, I'm seeing differences of over $1/click .
Therefore, to boost your quality score,...
There has been some confusion in the internet marketing world for the past few years about Wikipedia and why it is ranked so high in Google. Really it’s fairly simple and some people don't realize the power of how their site is set up.
I'll see it all the time where one of its pages will have the first few spots of a highly trafficked search term and it will only...
Here are some critical, but simple strategies to use when optimizing your or your client’s site in local search results. I (surprisingly) don’t see this discussed very often, which is why I feel it would make a great tip for everyone here at Daily SEO Tip.
While there are great tips for listing your address in Google Places, including what not to do, this focuses more on the organic results side...

Imagine the old days with the traditional yellow pages. Now imagine that you could add a photo, video or coupon to your traditional yellow pages ad. Now let’s take that one step further and imagine you could change your photos, videos or coupons in the traditional yellow pages…anytime you wanted! I think the traditional yellow page gods are turning over in their graves. Such preposterous imagination was unheard...
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is vital to doing business on the internet. No, not everyone who is on the internet needs to use SEO, but if you are offering any kind of product, service, or want your opinion to be read, you need SEO.
Just 25 short years ago, the internet was simply a tool for scientists. Cell phones were big bulky things that cost a bundle and were hideous to carry. Ten years later, the...
