What SEO tools / sites do you use?

[Nathalie]

I have been out of the loop for a while and am looking for good resources to use for SEO research for PPC advertising.

I used to use Overture's keyword tool to not only find good keywords but get a good idea of the number of searches on the keywords.

This tool is no longer available.

Google's interface doesn't seem to have an easy way to estimate search traffic before adding keywords (unless I'm just missing where to do that)


The free version Wordtracker is ok (http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com)


Does anyone have a compiled list of good resources of SEO tools (both paid and free are fine, but I prefer free of course) that you use?

My bookmarks are way out of date from when I was more info this.


Looking for things like:

- keyword research
- estimate of PPC pricing on keywords and traffic
- tools to check my web site for errors / seo-unfriendliness
..etc


Thanks

It’s very important for webmasters to keep tabs on their website analytics. Does your website have a strong pulse when it comes to SEO?

Even the best tools wouldn’t help you unless you take action. It’s important to understand the data you are analyzing and make the appropriate changes to improve your websites overall SEO score.

Google has a great keyword tool. You have to have an Adwords account, but once you have an account the keyword tool is under the tools menu. It will give you a bunch of keyword suggestions as well as number of monthly searches. It will also let you know how competitive that keyword is.

If you want to do a quick check of your website and for free, just search Google for "dead link checker tool", "keyword analyze tool", etc. and you should find some. You can also use Google's free keyword suggestion tool:

Google Keyword Suggestion Tool - This tool is for analyzing keywords, their search numbers, as well as finding out a lot of variations and alternative keywords.

As for paid services, the best SEO tools that I have ever seen are from SEOmoz:

Crawl Test Tool – will analyze your site and identify the quick and simple tasks you have to do in order to increase your rank.

The Keyword Difficulty Tool - will pinpoint the exact keywords that are not exploited and will be the goldmine of traffic.

Linkscape Tool – will show you which links you need to rank and which links could actually get you penalized.

SEOMoz is maybe expensive, but is worth every penny! I have three websites with top positions on major search engines for a very competitive keywords, so I know what I am talking about.

Hope this helps!
