Page Caching Google is best for this because of how fast it continues to reindex pages. Create your own Google Cache Calendar – a Word or Excel document will do. List your strategic pages – say about 10 for starters. Apply Top 300 rule, check your rankings and record cache dates. Over time, those dates form patterns that can help you determine when Google will return next – enabling you to time your next set of SEO updates.

If you’re not in Top 300, you can still get some perspective from page cache analysis if you’re still planning to optimize a given page. It’s easy to find page – if it’s in Google’s index. Just enter URL as your search phrase or find some unique text from page and search for that string of words with quotes on each end. Either will result in a top SEO ranking and you can grab cache date.

The bottom line is that you need to track you’re progress before making changes to strategic SEO pages.

Don't ignore those single words if they really represent what you do. Generally, single words have a fighting chance if other SEO factors are rooting for you along way, including pages with lots of content, options to include content up high, other pages featuring same keyword, a domain name with keyword, a page name with keyword and plenty of link popularity built around keyword. You just have to tie it all together.

Obviously, fewer people search for "automotive accessories" than "cars." But you'll be able to reach more search engine users - and prospective customers - if you frame most of your SEO strategy around specific search engine phrases that adequately reflect what you do.
