Google Keyword Tool To Get Search Volume Numbers?
As SEOers we're constantly weighing the value of one phrase against another to determine which phrases to write & optimize around. There have been a number of tools out there which have helped us in our quest to find the best phrases - in fact we've probably all used the now defunct Overture Tool, or Word Tracker with it's wonky multipliers, or even Keyword Discovery - but let's face it they all have their flaws. With-out official, reliable data directly from the search engines we do the best we can with the tools available to us - but our keyword research has always been plagued ...

Tossing Keyword Remix Into The Mix
I just love finding new, intelligent SEO tools and getting to share them with other SEOers who are passionate about their efforts. Of course not every tool that we discover can find it's way into our 'favorite tools' list. Some lack the versatility to be applicable across multiple client sites, others are way too slow to use very often and several are simply too confusing or cumbersome to win a place in our favorites. Sometimes a tool is introduced and like a seedling, takes time to grow and develop into a serious workhorse tool with the real, scalable usability that gains it a ...

SEO Digger - Still Diggin it
I just wanted to follow-up on the SEO Digger tool I posted about a few weeks ago. As I shared previously, SEO Digger Dug It’s Way Into My ‘Favorite Tools’ List. Since then I've had the opportunity to use the tool in a few real world situations. I've found it to be extremely helpful in finding substantive strategic and actionable quick-win information for a few client sites and have used it in developing a quick competitive landscape/overview as well. I've run across some phrases/sites that aren't in the SEO Digger index, but for most of my clients (fortune 500/100) they are ...

Yahoo Pipes Redux
It's hard to believe, Yahoo Pipes launched nearly a year ago and sadly I still haven't put much time into playing with it. [singlepic=132,,,,]I stand firmly behind the excuse that this has been a very active year at work, and the fact that there have been so many new Web 2.0 technologies & sites emerging that it's hard to give them much time and still stay ahead of the curve - but then those are pretty lame excuses. Don't get me wrong - when Yahoo Pipes was first introduced I was all over it, trying out all sorts of different mashups. [singlepic=133,150,,,]Over the last year ...

The SEO Shortcut Widget Rocks (even in beta)
I love finding new SEO tools. Sometimes the tools introduce a completely new concept such as the SEODigger.com tool which finds the keywords a URL ranks for - other times it's a new tool that simplifies and expedites common SEO tasks, or combines commonly used tools into a single more effecient tool. [singlepic=128,150,,,] [singlepic=129,,,,] [singlepic=127,70,,,]The SEO Shortcut widget from submitawebsite.com doesn't introduce any crazy new concepts, but it does combine a bunch of commonly used SEO 'tools' (or rather shortcuts - explained below) into one quick, easy to use interface. The final product is one slick SEO interface that in a few short weeks will even be available for SEOers ...
