Keeping track of keywords and SEO performance

Hi everyone,

this is just a quick update on how I try to keep an overview of my posts and their performance.

The more posts I write, the more I feel I am loosing track and the overview. Therefore, I started to make a list that keeps track of all posts that I wrote, which keywords they target and also what parts of the 10 SEO tips I paid attention to and which not

The following parameters I used for the spreadsheet:

Post Title
URL
Target Keyword
Searches (according to Keyword Tool)
Traffic (according to Keyword Tool)
Competition (according to Keyword Tool)
List of 10 SEO Tips from the training here at WA
Rank

The rank I want to measure maybe once per week or every two weeks to see if my ranking is improving by applying these tips to my posts.

However, although I thought that I did already good, I realized that there was more work to be done than I thought.

Only after half a day of re-adjustments I could manage to get more into the green area.

Areas to be improved still:

More Embedded Videos: I was struggling so far to find proper video screen capturing software, but I feel like I will go for a paid version to avoid watermarks and to check out new trial versions every 30 days or so. I will see what is available on YouTube for now and try to make my own videos as soon as possible

Comments: I will have to offer way more comments and ask them in return for all posts where they are still missing

Ease of Social Sharing: I have actually social buttons in my theme but they seem to work only when I create my own business pages on either facebook or google+, otherwise there is a dead end following these buttons. So either I get those business pages or I will have to install a social plugin that is doing the job. Or I will have to do both after all.
