These tools will be sure to help us out immensely in our SEO efforts. Especially in search of the elusive back link….

I appreciate your tips,thanks for citing the advantages and disadvantages of having SEO especially in google alerts, know now that google is one great tool for tracking and build your links. thank you and God speed to you

Thanks for a great list of resources. Might I add, though, as an SEO professional, I’ve always found HubSpot’s http://www.WebsiteGrader.com to be an invaluable and FREE resource, especially for SEO novices. Not an employee, just an avid fan of a well-built tool.

I had no idea about SEO Quake. It’s installed now!

Good ideas. I have been trying to get wordpress on my web site, but am having a problem understanding how to put together a directory, or how to create an empty MySql database on the server. Do I just upload a file?

Again, thanks for the info.

I installed the seoquake, it looks nice but it makes your browser work slower. Needs to change the settings. BTW, i am google alerts user, and it is such a powerful tool.

The 6th tool IMO is Web CEO:

http://www.webceo.com/

This is the only free downloadable rank-checking tool out there - enables you to easily check the results of the tweaks you make using the other tools… Keeps a history of previous positions, so you can see whats improved, whats dropped, etc.

The free version has a few limitations but none which actually affect the functionality - and although in view it’s not the BEST rank-checking tool out there, its the only one with a free version.

Hope this helps,

Thanks - some possible useful tools there.

Thank You for sharing this information, it’s really good

Ace post, i’ve been after a new firefox addon that will take care of all my seo needs for a while now. The MSN tool sounds really interesting too. Top post!

The google alerts cannot be used to track new links effectively as Google will not display a significant number of the links it finds.

I prefer to use the Google Webmasters tool as this is the only tool that will give you full stats on which links google has found.

Actually I use Google Alerts more to keep up with my affiliate
niche markets but when I see a quality post or really top-notch
content - I join in on the conversation. I don’t worry about the
present ranking/indexing of a page mainly because Cream rises to
the top - even in Google!

I also use Comment Kahuna which lets me set the PR level, no follow
and targets Typepad, Wordpress, LiveJournal, Squidoo and a few
more… great little tool.

I have also tried RealLinkFinder by Neil Shearing which is also
worth checking out if you’re in this type of SEO link building.

Both of these Commenting tools are free.

Definitely WordPress is a great SEO tool if used correctly. You can really build up a sites content and get a lot of backlinks from applying it in the right manner. Have not used seoquake - looks interesting but find of he same as SeoBook’s SEO for Firsfox

Great resource! I don’t know how accurate the keyword search tool is, but its a great estimate.

I have never heard of “seoquake” for mozilla but I am going to add it on today. I have used “google alerts” but not as strategically as you have mentioned. I am impressed with your tactics. I have been playing the seo game for a while and now with a brand new site and a new niche I am hitting road blocks on keywords. There aren’t any really easy ways to optimize but I mean easy as in fast. Its more time consuming than anything else but I am a do it myselfer so I will eventually be noticed in the game. Thanks for your post you opened my eyes to new avenues! Have a great weekend!

Thanks a lot, I have been looking for something,anything to promote my free software blog,I believe this will help…..

Hi, great post. I tried seoquake and the information it provides is excellent for SEO, but both Google and Yahoo blocked its use after the first page of results I tried it on, it almost made me feel guilty for using their bandwith Has anyone else had this problem?

Thank you! I love posts like this.

Great tools must for everyone.
Thanks I will try to apply the same.

Thanks. I’ve already started using them, including one listed in the comments, and they’re great.

I’d add to that list the SEO for Firefox plugin from SEOBook.com. That’s a must have tool for all kinds of analysis.
