Rankings

I went to SERPLAB to set up an account. Unless I missed it, they didn't have a way to check for USA rankings. Seems like they had every other country in the world.

Do you know of a site where I can check rankings in the USA for FREE? (All my free JAAXY searches are used up)

See if this helps.

When you set up a website within SERP Lab, you get to choose which version of Google it will check the rankings for. All you need to do is set it to Google.com.

That helps a LOT. Thanks Marcus.

I'm picking long tail keywords with QSRs less than 30 thinking that I'm guaranteed to be on the first 3 or 4 pages. But most of my pages aren't even in the top 100 (top 10 pages). Even after I get comments.

I must not understand the keyword tool at WA. Because when I use a keyword with QSR of less than 30 or 20 or 10 I think I'm going to get some sort of ranking. But typically I don't even get to the top 100. Even after several months and comments.

Are you doing the on-page SEO well? Have you got the keyword in the title, somewhere at the beginning or the content, somewhere at the end of your content, and in the names of the images?

I love how you are showing step by step what you are doing. I noticed you didn't add the xml sitemap plugin that kyle tells us to add in his training. Any idea why Kyle doesn't teach it the way you have set things up using AIO SEO for the sitemap?

I have the xml sitemap plugin on my main site. Any idea if I can delete this plugin and activate the sitemap via AIO? And if I do this, will I need to resubmit my sitemap?

I think it is only recently that AIO SEO has had the sitemap function, so Kyle's training has not caught up with that yet. Yes, you should be able to remove your sitemap plugin and enable the sitemap through AIO SEO. If you call the sitemap "sitemap" then it will still have the same URL so you should not need to submit it again.
