The Graphical Search Engine Comparison Tool allows you to perform your own comparisons, and displays the results visually, making it easy to see both the rankings and comparative positions of pages in search engine results. URLs are represented by small circles, and these circles are connected by a line if the page appears in both engines you’re testing. Mouse over a circle and the full URL of the page is displayed. Click on it to open the URL in a new browser window.

The ranking tool fetches the top results for a query from search engines. You can compare the same search term on two engines, or two unique search phrases on the same engine to see which ranks better. You can also enter a specific website, to see if and where the site appears within in the top search queries.

You need to find a way to make your content relevant to your readers. Sometimes all you need to do that is a good title. Choosing a title that relates to the theme of your blog or post will help readers realize what your topic is and how this post relates to it.

Just because you have a new site, it doesn’t mean you have to wait months to start getting some traffic.
