Optimize Your SEO Time With 3 Simple Tips

One of the biggest issues when it comes to working as an SEO is time. Time is a four letter word that the average person never has enough of and that any SEO worth their salt will underestimate. Whatever the job you’ve accepted or are working on it, multiply the time you claim it’s going to take by 1.5, and if you’re lucky that’s where you’ll end up. Any SEO who tells you they do it in less time then they quote or even on time outsources a majority of their work.

While outsourcing may work for some, it doesn’t work for everyone. So for those of you out there looking to keep your income in your pocket while preventing your friends and family from abandoning you, here’s a list of 3 tips that will help you squeeze some extra time out of your day, specifically your morning.

1. Use iGoogle For, Well, Everything:
   By now you’ve probably amassed a significant amount of RSS feeds for SEO blogs that you look through daily. Instead of popping each open, take advantage of iGoogle’s widget feature and load up all your feeds on there. iGoogle is full of great widgets that can really help you out, like the Google Webmaster Tools and a focused news monitor to keep an eye on the niche your site is in. Also, make sure to set up your Gmail account as a widget too to make the entire process even easier. Now when you load up your web browser before your morning cup of coffee is ready, you’ll be able to get up to speed before you’ve added the sugar.
2. Monitor Your Threads With FireFox Forum Additive:
   You read or posted on those forum threads for a reason, so why not organize them and save yourself time. Instead of simply bookmarking them all and cluttering up your most likely disorganized folders, Forum Additive allows you to monitor whichever threads you choose for as long as you like, popping up notifications in your status bar. You can download Forum Additive here.
3. Listen To Your Podcasts In The Shower Or Car:
   With the incredible amount of SEO podcasts out there, chances are you’ve got at least a few you want to listen to each week. Instead of turning them on and ignoring the podcast and your work while you’re at your computer, try turning them on in a place where you can’t get any work done: the shower or the car. Much more efficient. Remember to actually download you podcasts to your system and upload it to your mp3 player before you hop in either.
