Today’s businessman or woman is extremely busy.\u00a0 There are so many things that must be done, and not enough time to do them.\u00a0 We have all felt that crunch.\u00a0 So, I don’t mean to load you down with more junk for your to-do list.\u00a0 However, if you want to stay on top in the SEO game, it will require some daily participation from you, or someone in your company.\u00a0 I want to give you a six-pack of daily SEO tasks that will help ensure that your website is at its best.\u00a0 They aren’t difficult, and don’t require a great deal of time.\u00a0 So let’s get to it.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Write a Blog Entry:<\/strong> This is a great way to update your content daily and connect with your customers on a regular basis.\u00a0 It doesn’t have to be long and drawn out.\u00a0 You can write something simple, short, funny, insightful, informative, or offer someone a daily deal.\u00a0 The important thing is that you stay at it.\u00a0 Not only does this help you connect with your customers, it gives the search engines something to crawl on your site everyday!\u00a0\u00a0 They will reward you for that.<\/li>\n
  2. Check Your E-mail: <\/strong>You want to look for any link exchange requests that are coming your way, and respond to these quickly.<\/em> Make sure you choose wisely though.\u00a0 Your links should be relevant to your site, from a page with decent page rank (or the potential for it), and to a site with 20 or fewer links on its page.\u00a0 That helps you stay away from link farms and scammers.<\/li>\n
  3. Try Your Links:<\/strong> Go through your site and make sure that all of your links actually work.\u00a0 If any are broken, fix them.\u00a0 Also, if you have too many links, or outdated links that are no longer relevant, purge them accordingly.\u00a0 You also want to re-order your links if necessary to make sure the best ones are first.<\/li>\n
  4. Put Yourself in Their Shoes: <\/strong>Pretend you are a customer.\u00a0 Log in, browse the site, and try to purchase something.\u00a0 Make sure every aspect is working correctly.\u00a0 The difference between a ho-hum site and a stellar one is making sure that the customer has exactly what they need, when they need it, and that their browsing experience is pleasant.<\/li>\n
  5. Watch the Rankings: <\/strong>Your page rank can change suddenly as your site becomes more visible, viable, or valuable to the search engine world.\u00a0 Take a quick glance over the Big 3<\/abbr> on some of your most cherished keywords and see what is happening.\u00a0 Over time, this will help you learn if your SEO efforts have been fruitful or if you need to switch it up.\u00a0 Also, you can keep an eye on your competition and how they are doing.\u00a0 Then you will have a better chance of staying on top.<\/li>\n
  6. Get some Feedback: <\/strong>This is vitally important for growth.\u00a0 Read the comments on your forums, blogs, or anywhere users might talk to each other or to you.\u00a0 Also, you could ask a friend to tell you what they think about your site.\u00a0 Pay attention to the constructive <\/em>feedback. Take the rest with a grain of salt.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That should be plenty to keep you busy, especially with everything else you have to do in a day.\u00a0 However, just investing this small amount of time will help you maintain and increase your search engine rankings and site usability.\u00a0 That’s worth a few minutes, isn’t it?<\/p>\n
