Check Your Links on the Go
Pretty much everybody has a smartphone these days. Some people get them because they look cool. Other people will buy a smart phone to check email or send images to their friends. And then there are the hardcore users. You might say that I’m pretty hardcore when it comes to how I use my iPhone.
Being that I’m in the web marketing business, I frequently need to check the stats on my websites. Did I get any traffic today? Did I make any sales? How is my SEO doing? As I am addicted to checking my website stats all day, every day, it’s a blessing and a curse to have a smartphone in my pocket. I’m always connected and so I’ll check links to my website using tools like this website grader.
The HubShout web grader is a free tool for researching backlinks, keywords and competitors. The makers of this tool feel that on-site SEO is emphasized far more than it needs to, and therefore that 70% of search engine rankings come from backlinks. Anyway, I digress.
The point of all of this is that I do some pretty technical things on my iPhone, including all that website benchmarking stuff I mentioned above. Think you’ve got what it takes to become a power user of your smartphone? See what you can do – perhaps there are apps available that will help you with your job as well.
