Use Google Docs to Manage SEO Campaign

If you ever made an attempt at bettering the search engine results for your website than you already know that that most successful way is to write original articles and post them around the web with a back link (do follow) pointing at your website. It should be relatively easy to come up with a list of between 50-100 different article sites and after hours of work and due diligence you will have racked up quite the number of articles with back links posted. The real question is how are you keep track of your work and progress. In order to track your work, it is best to keep a record of all your articles along with a list of where they have been posted. An article tracker list can be easily made in an Excel spreadsheet and you will most likely write your articles in a Word processor. The problem is keeping track of your documents. If you use multiple computers throughout the day like I do: One at my day job which is why I concentrate on SEO so my website will eventually be my main source of income, one at home in the office where I do all the website work, and a laptop for when I feel like doing some work while on the couch watching TV, then you know how it is easy to be unorganized with documents saved all over the place.

There are a few solutions to keep your documents in order. One being that you can save everything on a flash drive and just plug it into each computer and save as you go. This is a descent solution but you can run into problems if you don't have the flash drive around or you lose it. The other is you keep your stuff in your email or save onto one computer and just update as you go. The best solution that I have come up with is using Google Docs to keep all your important SEO articles and spreadsheets in order. Google Docs is free and offers a basic Excel and Word program in case you do not have MS Office, along with a nice storage space to organize everything into folders.

By saving everything in Google Docs, all the documents are accessible from any computer barring not having an internet connection of course, and it always looks the same no matter what computer you are using. With all your info saved "on the cloud" aka Google's reliable servers, you will never have to worry about losing your work again. Documents can also be easily shared if you are working with a team or partner. When it comes to taking advantage of how technology can work for you, Google Docs is a great place to start. I have created a folder for my articles divided up by categories, along with a getting more complex by the day spreadsheet to keep track of all my articles and the URL that they are located.

There are many other great online resources to keep all of your important info safe, in one place, and accessible from almost anywhere. Along with Google Docs or another Cloud Desktop, try an online calendar, storing your contact info in an online address book, and whatever else you can think of saving online . If you need it, most likely there is an online solution available. If not, start it up yourself and use all the other free applications available to make it successful.

Re: New Business - For getting popularity on Google, it’s best to participate on social forums, blogs and article sites. I suggest you upload your books on eBay, Docstoc, Scribd, Google Docs and Servana etc. These are good places to sell books, policies, and research papers to potential clients. Moreover generate business leads and a platform to keep in touch with your customers, fans and other visitors.

How Do You Check Google Ranking? - Now that Google is so responsive to your own search history, how can you get a good idea of what your Google ranking really is for your web pages? Whenever I check my ranking for specific keywords on Google, my web pages appear on the front page, or suspiciously high. My way around this is to check Google ranking via other computer Internet links, i.e., whenever I'm working in a library I will use a library computer to check. I check Google ranking before logging into my Gmail or other Google-related accounts. Does anybody else have any other tips for discovering your Google ranking? Nowadays, I check Bing.com for my webpage ranking as it gives a much less favourable (and so, I guess, "truer") ranking for my webpages than Google does...
