Seriously, forget about it. No really, don’t even bother. As today’s web evolves, you’re better off creating your own one or two page site with a blogging platform with links to relevant social media where you’ll do most of your work anyway. Most important of all, provide useful and basic information that can be easily accessed with a mobile device !

• Be to the point. Nobody cares about splash screens, flash intros, portfolios or any other useless drivel beyond the basics : Who, What, When, Where, How and WHY!
• People perform searches on the go. They now spend more time searching with a mobile device than on destop computers.
• People want to know WHERE you are. If you’re not on Google Maps, you don’t really exist.
• People want to know WHAT you do. Be social. Facebook for instance is the best way to get people to know you and trust your services.
• Get involved with niche web 2.0 services relevant to your industry.
• Forget twitter. It’s basically for politicians, celebrities and news.

One of the best Google analysis tools out there is GoogleRankings.com. All you need is your Google SOAP API Key. A word of caution: Google does not generate these keys anymore, so if you’re lucky you already have one, if not, we’re sorry.

Granted you have your Google SOAP API Key, you will be able to perform some deep searches for keywords and multiple domains, or mass keyword searches. Google Rankings is definitely one of our favorite tools for competition analysis and comparative ranking.
