Am I obsessed with my rank?

Is there someone else out there that obsesses about their rank and check it multiple times a day? Please tell me I am not the only one LOL!

+1 - I used to spend a lot of time getting high off good rankings and low off poor ones. But it's too much of a rollercoaster, and as kchan says, doesn't actually help you build your business. These days I try to stay away from timesinks like this as much as possible and focus on strategy and implementation. (Don't open your email until 11am - my top tip for getting your business moving

I'm happy with the seomoz rank checker tool.  I think it sends out a weekly report which is good enough for me.  Checking it everyday makes no difference so i rather spend time developing/planning for better content.

Suggestion - there are several tools out there that can alert you if your rank changes. That may be a good investment for you.

Depends if you mean page rank or rank on Google! I think we're all a bit obsessed with our rank on the search engines - but it's easy to get too hooked on checking constantly.

I try to focus on working on my own content development and not stress about the rank - that should come naturally over time (with a little helping hand from a carefully-thought-out strategy).
