Besides Website, the Most Important is TRAFFIC
Having a website is one thing, but great website is nothing without traffic. The most important thing for traffic is to have a strong position at a search engine, especially Google.com. But how can you know your position at a search engine?
Some people think that they can just go to Google and put in their keyword phrase and see how they are ranking. There is too much in play here for you to get an accurate reading on ranking. There are location results and personalized results involved here. If you have a google account (like gmail), you will noticed that you are logged in while you are searching on Google (look in the top right hand corner). This means you are getting personalized results instead of general results.
This is a reliable site for finding where you rank in Google. Admittedly, the site looks a bit cheesy and the name is strange, but it is free to use and it will give you accurate read on your search terms. Without getting too technical, the site does not allow Google to set a cookie and it doesn’t see your IP address. This allows you to search unfiltered to see where you are generally ranking. This works okay if you are wanting to check on a few keywords that you want to rank for. To try it out, just click on “scroogle scraper” on the right side of the screen.
