Hamlet is my new hero, I do like his tool alot! (and no, Im not being paid to say that!)
@Guilliaume LOL. Your doing a far better job than my PR agency :-) I should definitely consider hiring your company instead!
Nice article Hamlet. I recently posted some simlpe reasons why rankings shift so much in the first place.
On this topic, Im in agreement. I have never felt rankings are a metric. They simply are not, and if you are focused on them as a meaningful, decision making item, youre missing the bigger picture.Watch for results - those pesky litttle things like conversions, or actions or whatever you want to have happen when users come to your site. If the SE traffic coming to you is converting, youre on the right track.Rankings, like pagerank, is nice to look at, but not very meaningful...with one obvious exception:If you rank #97 for your chosen term, youd best use that as a cue to get your a$$ in gear and fix things. ;)
I agree..its not really a must to be on number 1 spot of Google..whats important is youll be able to deliver relevant topic everytime.
