Some Notes
? Search for your target keyword on each of the major engines. Do the
results heavily overlap? Which results are the same across many engines?
Which ones are different?
? Practice searching the link profiles of a couple top-ranked websites. Try
the Google ?link:www.site.com? search for a page. Next try Yahoo!?s
?link:http://www.site.com? search for a page. Notice how much lower the
Google link count is than Yahoo!?s.
? Try Yahoo!?s ?linkdomain:www.site.com? to see how many links point to a
site on the whole. Perform the same query again, but then place
??site:www.domain.com? at the end of your search query. This will show
you how many external links point at a page.
? Look at Archive.org to see how old the top five sites in Google ranking for
your primary keyword are. If they are more than a year old, it is going to
take a while to catch them in Google unless you have a much better
holistic marketing strategy.
