Increase your Google ranking …free!

Every webmaster’s goal is to get into the top rankings, why? Simple. You created the website for whatever product or service for people to notice you. But guess what? It isn’t that easy because "it is such a big world out there". So if you’re low on budget, how exactly do you find out which rank you’re in or if you’re ranked at all. You don’t have to go through searching for your keyword, do a sub search to find that out. Although I had to admit that before I came across this website http://www.googlerankings.com/index.php I did just that. This website of google’s will give you your site’s as you type in your keywords and your url. For quicker results though you may want to limit your search. As the saying goes, "knowing is half the battle". If you find yourself in the top 1000, then with a little modification on your content and keyword will definitely get you there.After knowing where you stand, you should at least anticipate how much traffic or "clicks" you can expect to get. http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/. This is a tool you that can come in handy, so you’ll know the results of your search from overture and wordtracker, help you determine which of the phrases (how keywords could be arranged according to the most frequent word order) are most often searched for. When you get to this service, you’ll be asked to key in a phrase and presto! You’ll get the statistics of that phrase plus suggestions for other similar keywords.Once you find out what key words you’ll use, you can check out yet another website to keep track of your progress in the ranking. The same site’s tracking tool for keyword positioning can help you do that. They will do that "dirty job" for you.Now that you know the basics, you might think of submitting your site to google. No matter how tempting, don’t do that. Instead, let google find you because it will largely affect the rank of your page. Google’s system takes some time to index the sites but if you do not submit the site it could trim the work down by six weeks. Therefore, in 4 days, your site (if optimized) can appear in as little as 4 days. Next, the importance of links. Whatever site is linked to you also has something to do with your google ranking. It may not be that weighty but it still has a bearing. If you still aren’t found, patience. Let the "spider" come back as you modify your site. In other words , keep trying.
