A Great Free Link And Keyword Tracker

There are numerous tools and sevices on the internet that allow you to track your backlinks and keyword position in the search engines. The one I use and like the best is FREE and is from DigitalPoint.

Set up a free account - and you'll have some options to configure. You'll need a Google search API key - there is a link in the sign up form - you also have the option of installing an advanced usage script on your own server - this allows daily updates of your data.

The keyword tracker allows you to track multiple keywords by domain, in other words, you can see where you rank for a given key phrase for any number of domains you (or your competitors) own. Simply enter the keyword and domain, and the system will show your rank on Google, MSN, Yahoo - or you can choose ALL to get your rank on all of the engines.

The backlinks tracker is simple - enter your url, and the system tells you how many backlinks you have on Yahoo for the single url, backlinks for the whole domain on Yahoo, and the backlink count on Google. The feature that makes both of these free tools really outstanding is the ability to track and graph your results over time. You simply set up a simple script and cron it daily, and your stats will be updated each day, with your progress, up or down, logged regularly.

The service even has a simple graphing feature so you can get visual graphs of your progress. All of this takes a couple of hours to set up, and then you can just forget about it - until you want to see your data. It's interesting to watch how your rankings go up as your backlink counts increase - a great way to validate that a linking strategy is working.

Try the DigitalPoint tracker - it's a great free tool.

Alternative Health Products: How Can Essential Fatty Acids Benefit You? By: Chris Robertson - You've probably heard most of your life that fat is bad for your health, and avoid it at all costs. But in recent years, there's been a lot of talk about essential fatty acids (EFAs). This type of fat is actually good for you! So the question to ask yourself when eating a "fatty" food is, "Does this food contain good fat or bad fat?" What's the difference? Bad fat is often referred to as saturated or trans fat.

Samhain, A Night Of Freight (A Halloween Poem) By: Edith Nelson - The flight home was a fright through intricate roads in a sinister passageway to ye who strutted influenced by evening’s brews; mirthing with body’s coordination whilst adding upon it tricks on the mind of those taking to abuse of its quantities.

An Encounter With The Bolshoi Ballet By: Edith Nelson - I as many who have read my articles may gather am a tremendous opera fan though in all sincerity I can not claim to be an equal devotee of the ballet, however this should not be interpreted that I do not take joy from it. Perhaps it is because my tastes lean more to the passion of the singers and the drama in the opera rather then the grace of the ballet dancer.
