The Limos.com Forum Has Moved!!!

My site was #2 for dc limo service on May 11th. I just setup a basic SEO formula and it worked! But I didnt know I was ranking #2 for that search until after I changed my tags around. So now I am not even on the map for it. BUT...it took about a month to get to #2 (Without really trying) so I am hoping I do as well for the queries I am targeting. I should know more come July 1st. My bday is the 12th so that would be a pretty shweet bday gift if I get in the top 5 for my targeted queries. I just readjusted everything over the weekend and i am thinking itll take a month for google to pick back up on everything

Steve,
Its not a Yahoo site. Its a site I created myself using Joomla. I just was wonodering if Yahoo offered webmastertools like Google. I know Yahoo has a tool called Site Explorer but it doesnt give you8 the top queries used to get to my site. Google gives you that information for your own site, but I was wondering how to get the top Yahoo queries.

I think Ill do some google searches and see what I find out

I've successfully added Google Analytics to a number of sites, no reason you could not add it to a Yahoo! site.

What did you use for the Yahoo siate? Sitebuilder? Yor own tool?

Coolness. Does anyone know if Yahoo offers website statistics like Google does? That Google WebmasterTools is the bomb! It shows you your top queries and a bunch of other stuff. That's the main thing I check for though, is which queries are driving people to my site. I have a program called AWStats that tells me which links people use to get to my site as well.

You remind me of my friend, Jay Thompson, who has a similar aptitude, but applies it to his real business as a realtor.

He and I have gone back and forth about how most people just want it to work and not have to manage the nuts, bolts & bearings.

I am pretty much an in-betweener - have a degree in programming (understand the tech), left that world to work in marketing & business development (understand business), and social media (connecting the two).

I always admire the people who work closer to the metal of the machine as it were...

Ohhh ok I see. Ning is a social website...ok. I am more of a nuts and bolts kind of guy. I can fix damn near anything thatll take a wrench be it computers, a car, home repair, or farm tractors (Love working on those lol) so I have my own Linux servers running at my home. I installed the OS, configured my servers www, smtp, pop, DNS, etc and registered my domain all on my own. Its a steep learning curve but it also teaches you a lot. Eventually I hope to sell SEO and web hosting, everything under one roof but right now I am still learning.

J Paul,

I've used all kinds of tech in blogging and all the rest; at InTheLeftLane.com we use Ning, because it provides a broader platform for individual to get a free blogs, forums to interact and a capability for pics, videos and lots of other rich media.

If you go back and look at my Real Estate blog, it was hosted on TypePad, which I like best for a quick, clean professional looking blog. That being said, we're looking at a WordPress blog soon.

Looks like you're based on a blog tool (WordPress?). Nicely done for a self maintained site.

A lot of people recommended Drupal or Wordpress but I deceided to go with Joomla. I see your using something similar on your site. Which are you using?
