Do you know when you feel real proud of achieving something? You want to share it with friends and family.
My problem is my wife knows nothing about SEO, so it kind of goes in one ear and out of the other.
So I am sharing it with my readers.
I monitor pageranks of a few sites with Digital Point's free service

So I just did a refresh of my rankings, and just got that fuzzy feeling.
For this niche website blog
http://niche-website.blogspot.com
Primary keywords
"niche website" MSN Rank 1 & 2
"niche websites" MSN Rank 1 & 2
For my "moles" niche site
http://getting-rid-of-ground-moles.com
Primary keyword
"mole trap" MSN Rank 1 & 2 (and my old site on atspace is still 8)
I only moved the site 1 week ago, and am adjusting pages slowly
My Keyword Position Report Blog
http://keyword-report.blogspot.com/
Primary keywords
"Keyword Position Report" MSN 1 Yahoo 1
"keyword Ranking Report" MSN 1 Yahoo 2
I still have huge room for improvement with both on-page and off-page optimization, and of course in creating valuable content for readers to make sites "sticky". Google position quite frankly is terrible, but hopefully the articles I am starting to publish will help.
One of the best parts about this job is when you see some success from your niche website.
