As you attempt to earn your income pulling free traffic to you web site, there is a long road before you. While AdWords marketing can pull visitors to your site right now, it will often devour the majority of your profits and then some if you let it.

The cheap path of natural search engine optimization takes a lot of waiting. Sure, there are small successes along the way, but it is oftentimes many weeks before you’ll find any notable traffic on your main keywords from the search engines.

I don’t know if you relate to this, but I often get discouraged when I can’t immediately see my results. I am very accustomed to tracking two specific stats which are all but drops in the bucket for new websites. These measures are visitor hits and clicks on my ads and affiliate links.

If I am going to stay in this SEO game, I need to begin to track my progress using different stats. These stats include the number of pages indexed along with number of backlinks. Both of these stats will lead to good keyword ranks, but this will take some time. As for now I will be happy as I see my pages indexed and backlinks improve each day.

Because of this need, I created a PHP script to automate this checking. You input every domains you want to track. It even allows you to track article titles to see how widespread your article is being published on the Internet. Each day I just click the “Update Stats” button and it pulls the latest stats for all of my domains and articles. The best thing is that it keeps the data for each day so I can view my progress.

So be encouraged. Whether you use this software or you record these numbers yourself, your promotion efforts are bearing fruit. It is crucial that you stay the course and find your successes along the way.
