Welcome to the Q&A Forum

In being transparent and holding yourself accountable, don't forget to also be generous with yourself! My teachers/coaches/ and friends have adeptly pointed out that being passionate and driven can make us our own worse critic, and then we are hardest on ourselves. In the very act of practicing generosity with yourself you become more generous and empathetic with others. It may be more difficult to practice that type of generosity than to hold yourself accountable.

The data is there but not presented as nicely and requires some manual sorting. Traffic Sources --> Search Engines --> Add Metric "Landing Page" or "Keyword" There may be duplicates you need to account for if multiple search engines are sending traffic via the same keyword or to the same landing page. If you only want to see it for a specific search engine and therefore not have to remove the duplicates do this. Traffic Sources --> Search Engines --> Pick Search Engine --> Change Main Metric to "Landing Page" or "Keyword" Hope that help. I really like the way they format it though. It is a nice report. I wish they allowed for more custom reporting on those metrics though like adding custom dates and export to PDF, etc.

Historical Ranking data is cool but what Zeal & I are looking for is Historical Linking information...

Seeing the great links roll in, watching our pages crawl up the serp's, and finding a creative way to get my sh*z done with the limited resources I always seem to have

I have to add my vote for one I saw on that post - image optimization / alt tags. I've noticed an improvement in rankings by optimizing alt tags, plus they sometimes show up as part of the SERP snippet (when keywords are in the query) which means they have CTR implications as well.

If you're looking for truly apache mod_rewrite stories I cannot help, but I have implemented site-wide redirect schemes so that (for example) all URL's are put into Title Case, all folders are redirected to ensure trailing slash, and much more. It made a big difference and is highly recommended. Our duplicate content (that google wasnt even reporting but that we saw with tools like the IIS SEO toolkit http://www.iis.net/download/seotoolkit) dropped to zero and shortly afterwards our traffic increased as a result of increased keyword ranking almost across the board. Too many people ignore this.

I have to disagree with your .gov comment. I've seen a lot of.gov/.edu with autoapprove comments and the amount of OBL's on page is ridiculous. Sending an obvious signal to google because a large majority of the pages are so spammy. However if you can get a link from a .gov with moderated comments.. fair play.
