Thanks, Nick. Good tips. Thanks for the helpful reminder about broadening the source of incoming traffic (get organic; not just search engine results). Thanks!

Great tips Nick. It’s always interesting to see what long tail keywords develop as you crank out more content.

It’s one thing to rank in the SERPs. It’s a better thing to develop qualified leads. It’s the best thing when these leads convert into paying clients.

I also agree with Teresa, looking over your analytics data a couple of times a week can save you if something goes terribly wrong, and the earlier you notice it the better. Additionally, you can notice if you’re doing something terribly right as well :)

Great post indeed Nick, with some really good pointers. Although each and every one of the facts you mentioned is very important for the big picture, I believe sometime business owners forget about getting more qualified leads. And what’s even sadder is the fact that I still find websites (which aren’t about selling something online) without a call-to-action, in order to begin to qualify a certain lead. And a stronger presence in SERPs is very important for brand awareness, which again is usually disregarded by some business owners.

Nice tips Nick! You have provided some really solid information, I think people may overlook the importance on long tail keywords, but, as you pointed out, they bring in more qualified leads.

Great post, but I do think that in addition to keeping these facts in mind, you should also be keeping close track of your analytics. Perhaps not every day to the point where your brain hurts, lol, but at least a couple of times a week. In my experience not paying close enough attention to this is a huge mistake that newbies make.
