Check Your Site Position on Google by Key Word or Phrase

Today I ran into the Google Position Tool which checks your web sites’ position on Google by key word or phrase.  There’s not much to tell about it. Just follow this link and see for yourself where you rank.

Of course, I then checked the status of “Rich Sage” and that came up one.  I  hope it’ll stay there as my business model/plan is to keep advertising & business building offline.  Interestingly, people who learn about Rich Sage in the real world don’t just enter “www.richsage.com” into the browser.  Most often they’ll go to Google and search the name.

Then I used the Ventio tool to search two competitors –I searched Shoemoney and JohnChow, who are basically working with a similar business plan.  To my surprise, the major key words they are using don’t even put them in the TOP 100 of any of the results.  Well, with one exception –for make money online, I think John Chow’s quarry returned a “60″ at Ventio.

Then I searched my site for the term “making money online” and it came in at “278″ and “make money online” came in at “400″ something.

Obviously, the two other blogs that I follow –Shoemoney and JohnChow don’t really worrry about this ranking.  Shoemoney didn’t even show up in several searches.

I know that both of these bloggers don’t worry about how much traffic the search engines are sending their way to the blog site because they have so many links that generate traffic.  People linking back to the two sites have taken a viral nature, and that keeps fueling their visitors.

At this time, my work is to get to that point.  Some of the elements I’ll complete this weekend to make much of that happen.  I think one of the most important will be to create a contest.  I started writing about one. However, now it’s time to “release” the contest and start working on promoting it.

Success, Rich Sage
