SEO Tools –The Best Of The Bunch


Different Search Engine Optimization tools hold different meanings for different web masters and blogger, and it is really difficult to compile a list of “the best SEO tools”. Still, most of the SEO requirements are generic in nature, for instance, your typical Search Engine Optimization campaign entails:
Optimized source code
Keyword analysis
SEO-optimised content
Meta tags analysis
Search engine submissions and monitoring
Getting quality back links

I’ll be listing here the best SEO tools you can use to handle the Search Engine Optimisation tasks mentioned above.

Source code validation
From the SEO perspective it is very important to have clean, validated markup. The two online tools that help you write validated markup are:
The W3C Markup Validation Service
WDG HTML Validator

Keyword analysis
It is very critical to know what are the right keywords for you. Getting tons of traffic for wrong keywords can prove to be a costly affair both in terms of lost business and bandwidth costs. Here are some tools you can use to find out what are the right tools for you:
Keyword Discovery.com Keyword Research Tool
• Keyword Suggestion Tool
• Word Stream’s new FREE Keyword tool
• Overture Keyword Tool
• Word Tracker Keyword Service
• Google AdWords Keyword Tool
• SEO Book Keyword Suggestion Tool


Search Engine Optimised content
Although it is very hard to find a tool that writes optimised content for you, you can use some tools to gauge the keyword density of your content. Here are a few online tools that can help you check your keyword density.
• Link vendor Keyword Density Tool
• Webconfs Keyword Density Checker
• SEO Chat Keyword Density Tool


Meta tags analysis
Some say meta tags are important and some say they are no longer important. Well, why take chances. Properly using meta tags, using the right meta tags with right information in them, and using them in right manner doesn’t harm. The following tells help you analyse your meta tags.
SEO Chat Advanced Meta Tag Generator
• Web Master Toolkit Meta Tag Generator
• Rank Request Meta Tag Analyzer

Search Engine Submissions And Monitoring
For search engine submissions and monitoring I think the best tool is hard work. Automated tools are not recommended to submit your website to various search engines and online directories. So for search engine submissions I think the best tool is you.

Link Popularity
Link popularity has become a potent SEO tool. It’s always been around in the form of those thousands of link exchange programs but now the search engines have developed more sophisticated algorithms to measure genuine link popularity. Hence the web masters and bloggers take their link popularity campaigns very seriously. Here are some online tools you can use to track your link popularity.
• Submit Express Link Popularity Check
• Web Master Tool Link Popularity Check
• Add Pro Link Popularity Check
• SEO Chat Link Popularity Check

This is going to be a constantly evolving list as I’ll be adding more links here as I come across them, so either bookmark this post or add it your favorite bookmarking website.
Also, if you have any SEO tools that you think I should check out and include in this list, please let me know.

Most Bloggers Are Lazy?


SEO Network don’t think there is something irksome in it, as long as posts are not plagiarized. Let’s be frank, some bloggers can write, and some cannot, and those who cannot, at least link to those who can. That’s why blogging is such a big part of the online social media scene; people can simply share links with their visitors without giving their personal opinions.
Personally, SEO Network don’t find such a vocation appealing, especially if you are really serious about pursuing a blogging career. There definitely has to be something unique on your blog in order to make people come again and again. If you just give links on your blog and copy/paste tidbits of others’ opinions, they’ll simply bookmark those blogs or subscribe to their RSS feeds without bothering to visit your blog.
Even if you just provide links, you need to do it on a large scale. Take for instance pop urls.com; it’s a comprehensive index of hundreds of RSS feeds updated very frequently and nobody would like to personally visit every link and save it, and then keep track of it.
Anyway, I digressed. The point is, you can be a lazy blogger if you simply wish to share interesting stuff with your visitors, but if you really want to make a mark, you need to come up with stuff that can only be found on your blog. Even if you cannot come up with something totally unique, at least express your point of view in such a manner that it’s totally SEO Network point of view.
