Thispost is a paid post. Do I have to disclose it, sure I don’t, but I like to be honest with my readers! I am not purposely swaying my opinions for this article.
One of the things I have really not mentioned when talking about blogging, making money online or anything else is SEO. SEO or Search Engine Optimization has just never crossed my mind as an online blogger who wants to make money, but for some it can mean a real difference between a few bucks a day and a few hundred bucks an hour! Plus, with all those competiting services trying to give you your traffic rankings, Alexa, Comscore, PageRank, etc, etc it can be very confusing what exactly your SEO rank is. Well, for once you actually can take a breather as SEO Meter allows you to tell how often search bots crawl your page.
Now, you might wonder why exactly that is important. It is important because the more often a search bot crawls your page, the more likely you are to pick up a higher keyword position on Google and the more likely you will see a quick update in your overall SERPS(Search Engine Ranking Position). I am all for a higher search engine ranking because after all the higher search engine ranking you have the more likely you are to get a higher amount of traffic from Google. It is well known that 70% of the traffic comes through the top 3 rankings for the keyword. You have to have your site crawled often enough to get those coveted positions.
Now here comes the sad part, I had to change this blog from .info to .com just as I was writing this post on Sunday night. However, Google had not indexed it yet. I checked back Monday morning and it was in Google, and I was rather happy. However, it is currently 1:15 AM EST Friday and my blog hasn’t been approved yet…for SEO Meter seems to be a bit slow on processing new additions or just for me at least. I probably am just having a minor difficulty, stuff happens.
Well, overall I do like SEO Meter though because they provide a great service for webmasters who are rather focused on their ranks. I just hope that my rankings will work someday soon, I bet they will. Until then, SEO Meter is doing great and will only continue to get better.
