Testing your success...
Search for your site in
the search engines to which you have submitted. Keep going through
the results until you find your pages. Not the position on a chart,
along with the date. Improve your page design. Re-submit. Repeat the
process until satisfied.
Using a free service
such as RankThis (www.rankthis.com),
you can find out quickly whether your site is in the top 200 results
in a search of any of 12 search services.
WebPosition (www.webposition.com)
software will perform the same task as RankThis, but in more depth,
covering wider range of keywords and phrases. Freely downloadable,
this software may become a useful monitoring tool.
