A mid-term mission of mine is to appear on the first page of the Google (US search) index for the search phrase “David Chan”. I’ve been working on it on and off, studying SEO here and there on my free time.
A tool I use to check my search engine ranking position (SERP) is the Top 100 Rankings Position Checker. Not noted for its looks, it’s pretty useful in finding if an url is within the top 100 Google results for a particular keyword or phrase. Best of all is the ability to bookmark your query so you can validate your ego in one click!
Hmm my current rating is “very nice”, but as this tool points out, it’s not good enough. More work on this in the future.
