From Developer to Designer
This post in the fourth in a series where I am recording the SEO efforts of my site wiiifit.com. If you’ve missed the previous posts, you should view these first.
Here we are again so lets get to it.
Google finally came this week, and it actually paid a visit twice. So Google appears to recognized that the site is updated frequently. Yeah for me.
I added a robots.txt. It is the most basic one that just lets any robots in and disallows none. I doubt it affects the SEO in any way, but I just felt like it needed to be added.
Only a few more posts went up because most of the Wii Fit news related to it’s success in the UK this week, which really wasn’t anything I wanted to write about and most was the same info.
Here is how the site fared for the week.
Google Keyword Rankings for the Week
Doing a little better in some, and fell off the charts for one. Still nothing earth shattering.
Adsense Earning for the Week
I made $0.17 this week, making the all-time total $2.16.
Analytics for the Week
A few more visitors but worse results for the other metrics.
Things To Do for the Week
Well the site is still performing at a dismal rate. I think I am going to go through and pick out one keyword and add the <strong> tag to it to see how much influence that will have.
The pictures page is the second most viewed page, with the homepage being number 1. I think I will add a caption below each image to do boost the density for the site. Also since Wii Fit Pictures are so popular, if I have time I will see if I can get some Wii Fit Videos to put on the site.
I think a big hindrance to the site now is that their aren’t very many incoming links. Doing a Google search for link:www.wiiifit.com yields only 4 pages and 2 of them are from this blog. I’m not sure what I can do to get more incoming links, so that will be my homework for the week I guess. The only thing I can think of offhand is to add more technorati type sites to the ping list. This should be a breeze with just a simple copy/paste from this blogs list to wiiifit’s list.
If anybody has any ideas on some good ways to improve my rankings, please chime in.
See you at Chapter 4.

Yum and hmmm!
Thorough and inspiring analysis…I could kick myself for not charting my placement in Google, Yahoo, Technorati and others that don’t keep track. Feedburner and Alexa do by design, but the rest don’t give any sense of progress.
Well done, and thanks for sharing these details with all of us!
