Tools of the SEO industry

June 6, 2009

There are many tools that business owners should make use of when trying to improve their search engine rankings with search engine optimisation, a technique better known as SEO. Rather than trying to do it yourself without any knowledge of how the system really works, it is a good idea to do some in depth research or get a professional company, like a UK SEO agency, to assist you.

Contrary to popular belief, there are wrong ways to use SEO techniques that can be damaging to your website, including using keywords to the point that although you have attracted more people to your page, the content now makes little sense as it just a lot of keywords thrown together. Use keywords to their utmost potential with careful placing in titles and through the content where it is appropriate. There are many tools that help you to use keywords  including the Keyword Cloud, Optimiser, Density and Position Check tools. Of course using companies for search engine optimisation UK is another great way to get advice on how to use keywords to your full advantage.

Use meta tags properly and if you are unsure on how best to use them then use the Meta Tag Generator tool to assist you.  The Link Popularity tool is perfect for checking how popular your link is on all of the major search engines and the Page Comparison tool will enable you to see where you have used similar tags, titles and website content on your different pages.

As ever, a good SEO UK agency will be able to offer advice on any aspects that you are unsure of and it is often best to hand over SEO duties to a professional company who know exactly how to make the most of SEO for your company. It also eliminates all the concern and hard work that many business owners simply do not have time to concentrate on themselves.

There are also a few great tools that help you to see what the common typo errors are, including the Keyword Typo Generator and the Domain Typo Generator that can aid you in having further knowledge on how to draw even more people to your website. The PageRank Look-up and Search tools both help to find the value of your URLs and there is even a way to check the HTML website page size.

This was simply a brief insight into just a handful of tools that can assist you in doing SEO for yourself and with the sheer amount of tools available to help you there is no reason why you can’t get it right. However, the most common hurdle for business owners is that here are only 24 hours in a day which means that a professional SEO UK agency will more than likely be the best way to move forward in getting the best results for limited stress.

Tools of the SEO trade are key to achieving listings, but how exactly should you interpret the results? In today’s blog I am going to give away a couple tips and tricks of the trade, and introduce you to how we interpret the output of one of the tools freely available on this website – The Eye Of The Spider.

The Eye of the spider removes many elements from a page, including the CSS style, any embedded flash as well as all javascript. Only displaying the key elements of the content, and the links.

It is when viewing this you can see the biggest weaknesses within your site. We have run websites through this tool, to find sites with no links to other pages within the site – A clear weakness from an SEO perspective. This tool also has detected the exact opposite issue, with a site highlighting in excess of 500 links on a page through this tool.

One other area you quickly get a view for without the CSS, is hidden text on the page, of any form of hiding of text. Our tools will show you all of the problems on your website.

Whilst this blog has been kept brief, it has been written to inform you of just two uses of one of our tools – If you would like to learn more about SEO for your website, please do not hesitate to contact our friendly team we will be happy to provide you with a Free website analysis.
