Below are a list of quick online tools that you may use on
a regular basis. We have saved you the time scouring the site
and put all the links for the resources on one page.
Search engine optimisation tools can vary on what you need
them for. Since online marketing has changed so much over the
last decade, there are new tools being lreleased on the market
everyday. Ideally they can be categorised into the following
sections since this will more or less be your SEO process.
Keyword Research
Keyword research is possibly the most important part of the
entirSEO process. Get this wrong and you can end up never ranking
for terms that are too competitive. Add to this, you will have
spent time and money which you could have easily spent on 'better'
terms. In order to ensure that your process is as smooth and
as refined as possible there are many keyword research tools
that we have come across. Best of all some have FREE features.
Market
Samurai
One of the most popular keyword research tools available out
there. Although this is a commercial programme, the research
part is free and boy do we love it. It allows you to analyse
the top 10 competition by looking at PR, backlinks, age of domain,
links in to the URL, links in to the domain and more. This part
is probably the most important part of the
Directory Submission
Directory submissions used to be a VERY powerful method in
marketing your site and getting backlinks in. This was very
2007 and since then search engines like Google have reduced
their weighting in terms of their importance. However, we still
think that if you diversify and spread your linking strategy
across a wide variety of platforms, it all helps.
There are some very good tools out there that can help you
automate these tasks although we would suggest that you use
these tools cautiously so it does not look like you are spamming
the search engines. Use with caution. Remember, Google, Bing,
Yahoo are your friends, not yoru enemy.

Directory Submitter
This one has been around for several years and Tuan (the owner)
consistently updates the tools. You can add your URL, description,
categories and then submit to thousands of directories. What
we like is the fact that you can add your own spintax so that
each submission can be unique. The free version allows you to
submit to all the PR0 sites and there are hundreds of these.
For a small fee, you can submit your URL to all the high PR
directories as well. (Recommended)

Article Marketing
Some people think that article marketing is the holy grail
on internet marketing. Not only can you attain quality backlinks
from a variety of sources for SEO purposes, but you can also
acquire targeted traffic.
There are many ways to carry out article marketing, some of
these tools will allow you to post to various directories and
most will allow you to spin the content so it can be considered
unique.
The general rule of thumb with article spinning is to ensure
that each paragraph is rewritten three times and then each sentence
is respun.
We must say though, if you have the resources, unique content
is almost always better and you will tend to find that it may
help your SEO efforts a little better.

Article Submitter
Just like the directory submitter, the article marketing submitter
allows you to create infinite unique articles and submit them
to thousands of directories. You can use spintax to ensure that
there is a level of uniqueness and can add as many titles, body
and content as you want. (Recommended)
