[SEO] All in one top 3 free seo tools

All in one top 3 free seo tools

There are a variety of free and paid SEO tools on the internet they have different primary functions and can help different forms of websites out in different ways. I am going to tell you what my 3 best free SEO tools are so that you can use them to your advantage like I have done to mine.

Google Webmaster Tools

A must have for anyone with a website whether it’s a forum a blog a static website or anything else is Google webmaster tool’s.

To get started with Google webmaster tool’s all you need is a Google account which most people have already from their Google adsense accounts or Google adwords accounts. If you have not got an account on Google then you can sign up for one here www.google.com/accounts/ after you have signed up for your account you need to go to Google webmaster tools and then log in.

Next you can add your website to the webmaster tools account, you will need to verify your website from one of the two ways they give you to choose from, one is to add a meta tag in your head section of your website and the second is to upload a text file, I advise anyone to verify their website through the meta tag option it’s far simpler.

Now Google webmaster tools allows you to do loads one of the most used tools that I use is the “Top Search Queries” which displays the top 20 search queries that you usually rank for and the right column displays the top 20 search queries that often get clicked. However do not take every rank for an accurate reading, it is only an average and is usually a week or two behind.

The second most common tool that I use is the links and mainly the external links this shows you the amount of external links google has found to your website however again don’t take it as an accurate number. You can also see the amount of internal links to every single page on your website, allowing you to see which page is the most commonly linked and which page you may be missing out.

The third most common tool I use is the sitemap tool which allows you to upload an XML sitemap through google webmaster tools, which will help with indexing your website faster and enabling your site to be crawled quicker. You can read more about sitemaps here and why they are essential.

Google webmasters is definitely a must have tool for anyone in the website business, whether its just a personal blog or one of many in your portfolio it’s a key tool which can easily be used to your advantage.

Rank Checker

Rank checker is a firefox extension which allows you to easily check where you rank in Google, Yahoo and MSN. You need Mozilla Firefox to enable you to use rank checker and you can download firefox here.

Rank checker is a great tool which allows you to check your search engine rankings in multiple search engines at the same time. You have the option to check your ranking for one keyword or for multiple keywords. Not only this but you can also save your keywords to rank checker, so in the future you can return to rank checker and check your rankings again with out having to type in all your keywords again.

The tool is really easy to install and appears as a little icon in the bottom right of your firefox browser screen. There is so much you can do with rank checker, why not check it out here. It’s free.
