Importance of Rank Tracking

Why Rank Tracking is Important

When I started out blogging, I admit that I didn't have much of any idea what I wanted to achieve. I mean, perhaps I just wanted to annoy the world with my rumblings. Take this blog as an example. It has been laying comatose for quite some years, and here I am reviving it.

In any case, I want to, today, talk about something that every blogger should be aware of. Rank tracking, otherwise known as rank checking, keyword tracking, seo keyword checking and a few more names, is one of those important tasks that every blogger should carry out if they hope to succeed.

Keywords

In order to understand Rank Checking, it is important for us to first talk about keywords. Keyword Research is an important part of Search Engine Optimization. Keywords are the search terms that people who are looking for something type into their favorite Search Engines.

As a blogger, you need to be able to identify the most important search terms that are used by your target audience. Whether you are going to go for low hanging fruits or something else, its important for you to understand the keywords that you are angling for.

Keep Sight of Your Performance

Having identified your keywords and having used them in your articles, the next thing that you need to do is keep track of how well you are performing in terms of those terms. In other words, what is your rank on Google and other Search Engines?
