SEO Useful Tools

Ok, i have recently been working on SEO'in a clients site! And i have come across some useful tools so far that i thought i would share.

Maybe we could make this a sticky and get people to add to it!!

123-Reg Instant Traffic
This isn't a free tool, but there are different variations of the tool. What does it do? - "InstantTraffic uses real-time search engine data and analysis tools to get your site listed and let you know how it’s performing against similar websites." It produces some interesting and helpful data and the monthly report is good and prompts me to work more on the SEO for that site.

Create a Google Site Map
SiteMaps as you will read in other stickies are an important part in optimising your site, but it can be time consuming. I came across this tool today that is very useful and creates much of it for you! Take a look!

Google Keyword Tool
Creating keywords might seem easy, but it is important to think about what your customers/visitors will be searcing for to find you, not just what you know the company will be found under! So this tool helps by asking for what you would type in and then offers suggestions. It also shows last months search quantity for that keyword / phrase and the competition for it as well!

Overture Keyword Suggestion Tool
This is much like the google keyword tool, somestimes comes up with some different suggestions and also often shows a different months search data from the google tool. Just a good alternative!

Bulk Check Sites Google Page Rank
With this tool you can bulk check a load of sites page ranks, which is very helpful for those of us working on multiple sites!

I am sure there ar eloads of other tools that help, so if you have come across ones that you can say are good and worth other people using maybe list them here and say what they do!

Cheers,

RF

SEO Tools dontacha just love em'.

Perhaps the Dogs Dangly Bits out there at this moment in time is SEO for Firefox Extension from SEOBook.

http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/seo-for-firefox.html

It has every thing you require for traffic estimation, back-links, supplemental, whois and so much more...

SEO Desktop App's that I use in my own environment (I did use the demo's but have since signed up for the full releases)

IBP 9
Web CEO

Also I have this script that is written in (dare I say it ...PHP) that will check your ranking up to the first 50 pages or 500 positions and I would be most grateful if anyone could translate it into asp... the script

PHP Code:


		
			
<?







if (isset($_GET['url']) && isset($_GET['keyword'])) {

   

   $gg_url = 'http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=' . urlencode($_GET['keyword']) . '&start=';

   

   $url = preg_replace('(^http://|/$)','',$_GET['url']);

   

   for ($page = 0; $page < 50; $page++) {

     

     $handle = fopen($gg_url . $page  . 0 ,'r');

     

     $scraped = ''; 

     

      if ($handle) {

        while (!feof($handle)) {

            $buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);

            $scraped .= $buffer;

        }

        fclose($handle);

      }

      

      $results = array(); 

      preg_match_all('/a href="([^"]+)" class=l.+?>.+?<\/a>/',$scraped,$results); 

      

      foreach ($results[1] as $serp) {

        $serp = preg_replace('(^http://|/$)','',$serp);

        if ($serp == $url) {

          header('Location: ' . $gg_url. $page . '0');

          exit;

        }

        

      }

      

   }  

   $error_message = 'Not in top 500 search results';

}

I would like to contribute a little.

When-ever I need to check ranking of a site for a keyword -

I use this (URL address blocked: See forum rules) that can give results upto 1000.

Here is a site I have been using and absolutely love. Awesome tools that have been able to show me what my competition has done to show up in the major search engines and has saved me a ton of time.

http://www.webuildpages.com/cool-seo-tool/

Another I use is: http://www.websitegrader.com/

another is: http://www.backlinkwatch.com/ pulls out all the backlinks to your site, or OTHERS! Nice to know where you can consider putting links.

Another one I have been using, but cannot verify just how much of a difference it makes is:

http://directorysubmitter.imwishlis...ndard-download/

Makes submitting to directories easier, but I have shown little benefit to that so far. I think most of them have no follow tags.

And found this one yesterday for the first time, and I'll probably use it from time to time.

http://rnk1.com/

I hope others continue to share more. Thanks.

probably spam, if it was removed by moderator. the spammer can always
buy legitimate advertisement here so you might see what he's trying to sell.
regarding your links, you can post links now I have Edited your post for you.

That is VERY COOL! Thanks. I tried it right away, and it seems pretty accurate. That will save so much time, as right now I am going into each search engine and putting my words in. Thanks for posting that.

Here are some more I recently found that may have some value:

Find link partners based on keywords

I believe the key of SEO is to actually use simple actions over and over.
