Website Monitoring: Hot Seldom Discussed SEO Tactic

Website Monitoring: Hot Seldom Discussed Tactic to Improve Search Engine Ranking

Let me warn you up front, this idea to improve search engine ranking isn’t going to be what you’d expect.

No google optimization tips.

No specific ideas to get more search engine traffic.

No actual tactics for grabbing top search engine ranking.

No instead I’m going to reveal an often overlooked but critically important idea.

One you disregard at your peril.

Okay, so just what is this red hot way to improve search engine ranking?

Two words: website monitoring.

That’s right. Watch your website uptime like a hawk.

Monitor it 24/7.

You want to make sure you maximize uptime and minimize downtime.

Here's why. If your web site is down bad things happen. For instance…

The search engine robots can’t find your site. At best you miss an opportunity for the fresh content you just added to be crawled and added - until next month. At worst, sometimes the search engine will remove your site entirely.
If link partners check the link to your site and it’s down they may remove it. Ooops! More missed traffic.
Of course visitors who stop by and get the dreaded "Page Not Found" error, well, is that going to make the impression on them you hoped for? Probably not.

In other words if your site is down, all the time, hard work, and investment in search engine optimization is out the window. Wasted. Doing you no good at the precise moment when it counts most.

To avoid all this obviously you want to be with a reliable host. I mean if you depend on search engines for traffic, can you afford to be on a crappy web host that is down a lot? Knowing that aside from the lost sales, it also can result in lost search engine listings.

To make sure it’s reliable you need to monitor your website. Period. You can’t afford not to.

Here are just a couple free hourly
website monitoring services…

…I use that you might consider using too

InternetSeer Website Monitoring

SiteProbe Website Monitor

Even if you step up to the paid service as I have it’s dirt cheap web site ranking insurance.

Because for just $9 a year you can have your sites checked every 15 minutes. Which I simply look at as an additional 75 cents a month for hosting.

Another benefit, real or imagined, is I noticed once I started reporting to my host's help desk that SiteProbe indicated my site was down my site started being down much less. Maybe that’s mystical and a magical or something akin to that. Then again maybe it’s not. But in any case it works for me.

Anyway I hope you'll take my website monitoring tip to heart. It can make a huge difference in your online success.
