SEO – free search engine optimization tools
8 Oct
We all want to boost our rankings in search engines. Fortunately, there are a lot of tools out there to help us achieve that goal.
Keyword suggestion tools (tell you how often people search for your keyword – and how often they search for similar keywords):
- Wordtracker’s free keyword suggestion tool. Click on the little chart icon (after you do a search) to find out how many sites are optimized for that word or phrase – and how much traffic a No. 1 ranking generates.
- SEOBook’s keyword suggestion tools. Gives you a ton of info, including estimated search volumes on Google, Yahoo!, and MSN.
- Google’s traffic estimator tells you how your keywords will perform in Google search.
Tools to test your site’s SEO:
- Website Grader gives your site an overall SEO score.
- Term target helps determine how well targeted your site is for certain words.
- Keyword Density Analyzer shows how often keywords appear on your page – vs. how often they compare to your competitor’s page.
