With 13,861 searches a day there is definately the traffic out there – attracting is another matter. Good luck – do use current events and topics to attract traffic myself it is a good method.

Good luck on your Olympic blogging. Some great money can be made by capitalizing on big events. I’ve seen several bloggers do great just by blogging on Survivor, Big Brother, etc.

Paula,

It was partly the template’s fault. The two changes that I know affected my rankings were:

1. I used to have the keywords in my title at the top, now I have an image instead of the text “Make Big Money Online”.

2. My sidebar used to be on the right and now it’s on the left. The text in my sidebar was better optimized for the keyword “make money online” then my “recent posts”.

Those two changes are probably what caused the issue.

I find that interesting that your blog dropped in ranking due to your blog update. I recognise the template you have chosen as I have used this template myself. I wonder whether it is the template that has caused the problem or whether it was just coincidence. Would be nice to know as I will avoid using it on other blogs if it is the template.

Zach,

Short answer: Google, Yahoo, and MSN

Slightly longer answer:
I don’t really use any tools to check my rankings. I don’t spend a whole lot of time on it. I do track my stats some on my web host, so I know how people are getting to my sites. When I make a big change to my site structure, like new theme or some other new technique, I will follow whatever keyword I am tracking a little closer for a week or two.

A good free tool to get a glimpse at you rankings is http://seodigger.com/

Just go there and type in your URL.

Hope that helps,
George
