Hello Is This Working?

If you have read some of my blog you will know that I have only one key interest and that is finding profitable keywords.

Some people love building sites, some people love statistics and others like to write pages and pages of content. I don’t.

I like to get a keyword, build a wham bang mini site and move on. That’s the reason I am such a fan of Commission Ritual. Brian also put me onto a free tool that is really useful and something I have set up on my computer which does not involve any real work from me.

If you are building mini sites, the object is to build, move on, build, move on but it is helpful to know what’s working and what isn’t and that is where the Rank Checker tool comes in. This is a FireFox plug-in that will grab data on how well a site is ranking for a certain keyword or phrase.

Here is a video explaining what SEO Rank Checker is and how to use it properly.

When you have this little tool up and running it is simple to keep an eye on how your keywords are performing. Why would you want to do this?

As I said, build, move on, but to go on blindly may be costing you visitors and more importantly the sales that those visitors make. Here’s why, some keywords will flourish and grow for you, some will die, it’s the nature of the method but in between will be some that will need just a little more attention than others.

When you use Rankchecker you can see the positions in the SERPS of your chosen keyword, now, if you have one at number fifty well hey ho! we’ll leave it a bit longer, but if you have one that is at number 12, 13, 14 etc you are nearly on page 1. This is the keyword to lavish a bit of love on, with a couple of backlinks you can almost certainly give it that little extra push.

Page 1 on the search engines is where it happens and so if you can get there with a backlink or two it is so worth it for the extra visitors, and extra sales
