Step Wice SEO

Maybe you’re an anarchist at heart and it takes divine intervention to get your feet into two matching socks.

But more likely, you’re just so overworked that it’s impossible to keep every sticky note and e-mail where it belongs.

You need help-and we’re here for you! Before you begin your tasks, follow these simple steps to start your new SEO lifestyle with a “headquarters” on your computer.

We call it your SEO Idea Bank!

Step 1: Create a home for your SEO files. Choose a location on your computer or network where your SEO files will live.

The most important thing is to make sure that there’s just one consistent spot where your SEO files are stored.

Step 2: Download tools from yourseoplan.com. On the companion website to this book, www.yourseoplan.com, you’ll find the worksheets and templates that we’ll be referring to throughout this articlre.

Take the time to download these now and save them in your SEO Idea Bank:

• Keywords Worksheet

• Site Assessment Worksheet

• Rank Tracking Worksheet

• Task Journal Worksheet

• Competition Worksheet

And don’t forget to copy your Goals Worksheet, “Clarify Your Goals,” into your SEO Idea Bank as well.

Step 3: Start an SEO task journal. Your SEO Task Journal is a place to document what you’ve done, what questions have cropped up, and what you need to do in the future.

Your Task journal will prevent you from duplicating your efforts and help you keep track of what you were thinking last week and the week before.

It’s also a convenient holding pen for ideas and random thoughts that come up while you are working on Your SEO Plan.

One of the fun things about SEO is wandering down whatever path your explorations take you.

But if you only have an hour and you actually want to accomplish something, you’re going to need to keep yourself on track.

Rather than going off on every tangent that is thrown your way, file those thoughts away in your Task journal for later.

If the Task journal isn’t your cup of tea, use whatever organizational method works for you.

You may be happy using a simple Microsoft Word document, and changing the font to strikethrough when the topic is resolved.

But feel free to get fancy. Consider experimenting with an online database in your own personal Yahoo! Group at groups.yahoo.com, or an online to-do list through a service such as tadalist.com.
