I am absolutely O.C.D. when it comes to tracking, measuring, and recording data. One of the best skills you can have in SEO is to be able to stay efficiently organized. Only by keeping track of what actions you’ve taken, will you be effectively able to make correct decisions about what to do next.
Famous management consultant Peter Drucker once said: “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” I couldn’t agree more.

I was a strange child. I always seemed to do things a bit differently than the other kids. The habit stuck.
I use four fingers to hold a pen. I’m right-handed but left-legged. I never wear underwear. You should see the process I use to tie my shoes.

Or even worse: after you send the links, you see the rankings actually drop. Read more »
Along this continual road as a student of SEO, there have been a handful of breakthrough techniques that I’ve picked up which helped me rise to new level. Actually, I hesitate to call them techniques, since some of them are so simple, they really could be coined as “tricks” or “hacks”.

Back around mid-2014, we started to see a sandboxing effect on new domains that had been recently registered.
Before that time, you used to be able to register a new domain, build some backlinks to it, and within 5 days it could potentially be on page 1. Now a days, SEOs are reporting sandbox periods of 3-6 months long. Read more »
