• Identify the keywords you think would be good tags for the site.
• Run a search query using the keywords. Does the site show up in the first page of rankings? In the top three? Why do you think the site was successful (or not)?
• While you?re on the search results page, take a look at the sponsored and organic results listings. How do they differ? Which would be most influential if you had been conducting a real search?
