There are a number of SEO tools online. Here i am listing out a few useful when analyzing a client or competitors website. I will use specific tools depending on what type of data I am looking to analyze. These tools can save you a lot of time when researching links, on-page/off-page SEO, social media and site analytics.
Best of all.. each of these tools all free! I use only paid tool WordTracker.
1. Keyword Discovery - For keyword Research
2. RankChecker - Rank Checker is a stand alone firefox plugin (also on the SEO Toolbar) that allows you to check the rankings of a site for specific keywords/phrases. One nice feature about Rank Checker is you can check not only US search engines, but foreign versions of Google and Yahoo.
3. Google Webmaster Central – Useful for submitting XMl sitemaps, detecting crawl errors and checking pages with external links.
4. Google Analytics – It goes without saying that web stats are really important for measuring, monitoring and mining keywords.
5. Yahoo! Site Explorer - There are a number of link analysis tools like Link Diagnosis, BackLink Watch, and Link Assistant, however Yahoo! Site Explorer I feel still does the best job of not only finding backlinks, but ordering them in place of importance. Here are the main things I will look at when analyzing SiteExplorer links.
6. Bing Webmaster Center - Use the Webmaster Tools to troubleshoot the crawling and indexing of your site, submit sitemaps and view statistics about your sites.
7. GSiteCrawler - Generating Google Sitemap files has never been easier using the SOFTplus GSiteCrawler for Windows! Also, check the total site pages, check for broken links etc.,
8. XENU - Broken Link checker and sitemap builder.
9. SEO Elite – Great for analysing competition and getting detailed backlink reports.
10. SocialMention - Find out what the social part of the Web has to say about any subject.
I will keep posting with the top, popular, useful tools i use. Keep visiting my BLOG. All the best.
