Well I think I finally have my web site the way I want it. Thank god for cbnet  ping optimizer and Jay for pointing it out in the SEO  WAbinar, otherwise I think by this time the Google bot spiders would have surely pegged it as SPAM. LOL I can not even count how many updates and revisions I made. If you have not seen this must know WAbinar here is the link on Jay's Blog.

On a related note, I had a bit of a problem with my SEO and changed a permalink that had already been indexed oops, now I'm getting a 404 error for the content on that page. Funny  thing is the site pulls up...  just no content on the page? I am hoping in time that will fade off the search engines, because I have no way to retrieve or unindex it. At least that I am aware of. The only solution I had was to completely re work that page which I did so the site has not suffered.  Live and learn.

The entire site is still showing high ranking for my key words, but I have learned that a page #1 ranking does not guarantee traffic. I will need to really get working on my blog now and start getting articles out there. I have hesitated on article writing because I did not want to send traffic to a site I was not satisfied with. My rational was, if I would think it lacking so would anyone I sent there.

I had to reinstall a new tracking code for Google analytics as I was using the same code I have for my WA blog and funnel so I was getting false data. The analytics reports show that I have my code set correctly, but its been two days now and its still retrieving data but it's not showing me anything yet. I sure hope I don't have to delete it and put it in again. Even the plug in for analytics was not registered with Google, so I deactivated it.  I am waiting to see if that makes any difference. 

Please have a look at my site and let me know what you think. I could use the feed back .

Thanks a bunch and have a blessed day :)

P.S. I just checked my Google account, analytics is working now, so it appears the optimizer plug in is not suited for my theme. At any rate problem solved and lesson learned. :)

P.P.S.

It never ceases to amaze me how just the willingness to ask a question as in this blog title, opens ones mind for the answers. A prime example of this is the backlink tutorials Steven Zero has provided for us.  They answer my question precisely. Thanks Steve, you aint no zero in my book.
