It seems that my reconsideration of HitTail, the
decidedly inspiring Web 2.0 long tail writing suggestion tool,
has me becoming an Influential Blogger.

Influential Blogger Reconsiders HitTail

This long tail tool has made me some more money than I normally make
and garnered me some really sweet SERP rankings to boot.

I made a post a couple of days ago about Real-TimeReferrers.com
and how it was a good alternative for getting better SERP rank,
especially for the known good keywords actually used in the searches.

After a few days, the situation has changed,
mostly due to my newfound use of Google Analytics.

I’ve returned from my straying to the
SEO-licious SERP-enhancing keyword goodness that is HitTail.

I’ve returned to HitTail for a few compelling reasons.

First reason:
HitTail (the free version) saves more than the last 20 referrals
(unlike Real-TimeReferrers.com), which helps since I’m not always
at the site grabbing referrals as they’re generated.

Second reason:
Being able to export the reports to a .csv file -
not that I do it that much but it’s a great option to have.

The link rating (which shows up in the .csv file) also helps to
assess the link’s SERP ranking. I mostly do manual checks for unusual
search terms to check SERP ratings.

Third reason: The to-do list is just icing on the cake.
It’s great to have something on the site that makes applying
your keyword strategy an on-site option and not offline.
