Challenge 1: No Ranking Checks For One Week

It seems that I spend most of my life looking at ranking reports. I suppose you could say I am a slave to the search engine results pages and Im sure my wife would agree. I promise everybody I am not making this up and find myself checking rankings all the time right up until I get in bed. The first thing I do when I wake is reach for my Iphone check my emails and my rankings.

It is like an addiction I just cant stop checking. This shows my dedication to the science of SEO but also shows that I find it impossible to switch myself off. So what is the point of this seemingly useless blog post?

My weekly challenge I have decided that if it is good enough for Mr Matt Cutts to set himself regular challenges I will do the same. The first of my challenges will be to not check any rankings for one week starting from Monday.

What this will do is enable me to concentrate fully on pure SEO without getting caught up and frustrated when I don’t see my rankings jump immediately after making a change.

Im not going to lie I am going to find this task extremely difficult so am going to make the most of the ranking checks I have left. Wish me luck and let the tasks begin.
