Checking up on your website
I have been working on my website for about a month now. I came to a point where doubt started to creep into my mind about where I was going and if the path I was on would get me there. So I did the only thing that I could think of logically. I went to Google the all knowing all seeing presence in the electronic universe.
I was trying to see why after all the time I have put into my website and all the quality content that I have been adding to it wasn't I ranking higher than the Muskeogon Little League webpage for youth baseball hitting tips. My stuff is better and their's isn't even original stuff it is copied from other places.
I came across this website, http://acuwebservices.com/. Acu Web will do a free analysis of a webpage for you to see how it ranks in Google. They didn't take very long to come back with the results and give you a printout with a task list at the end of things that you can do to help get better results. The best part for me is that most of it is stuff that I can do and it didn't cost me anything. They do try to sell you their services at the end but that is up to you.
I found that what I am doing (Only what I have learned here at WA) has me going in the right direction down the right path. If you are curious like I was though it is a resource that won't cost you anything unless you want it to.
Good Luck
Nick

Yep, there are lots of services out there similar to that. Some are very helpful, some will send you down rabbit holes.
Bottom line is that it takes time, but keep checking on things like that because there are "intangible benefits". Benefits beyond your site ranking, like picking up education at every turn. :)
Totally Agree with you.
