Any good SEO software? Maybe free?

[Kim Cunnings]

You can get lots of tools for free - all the Google webmaster tools are free actually and Google Analytics is an absolute must, also free.

Why are they good? Well - they are made by Google and Google seems to know a lot about search engines Plus you get all sorts of tips and first-hand type of information on SEO. That's why I would also recommend that you subscribe to Google Webmaster Central Blog and get fresh updates on what matters in SEO and what doesn't.

Also, there are plenty of commercial tools that are free as well. SEO PowerSuite is free, and free for life. http://www.seopowersuite.com/

Why is SEO PowerSuite good? Because it kind of pulls together many tools, services and SEO techniques into one software kit - so you have one place where all the SEO goodies are stored - kind of like your best, hand-picked SEO library.

Another thing that is great is that SEO PowerSuite tools are always updated - and if you start using SEO tools you will soon find out that many give completely wrong search engine data (especially rankings). Why is that? Because unlike other software pieces, SEO programs are directly tied to search engines - and search engines constantly change their algorithms which means that if the tools provider does not update their products regularly, you are stuck with the program that basically lies to you making it pretty useless or even harmful.

I am leaving you links to Google tools, SEO PowerSuite tools and a very detailed review of the best SEO tools available on the market today - review is done by SEO Book - one of the most authoritateive and unbiasted sources for all stuff related to SEO. Feel free to subscribe to their blog is you want informative stuff on SEO on a daily basis.
