10 Essential FireFox Plug-Ins No SEO Superhero Should Be With-out
From smoke pellets to grappling hooks, from night vision goggles to batarangs - is there anything the caped crusader can't pull out of that utility belt? But what sort of a superhero would Batman be with-out the contents of his trusty gadget girdle? Every trade has it's essential tools and Search Engine Optimization/ Search Engine Marketing is no different. Our utility belt is a cache of online tools, extensions, plug-ins and macro infested excel spreadsheets.

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 ...

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 Obligatory WordPress Plugins post
I know what you're thinking - "Oh no, not ANOTHER one of those 'list o' plugins' posts!" - and essentially, that's what this post is - a list of super helpful WordPress plugins that I have found usefull enough to install and use them on this blog. I browse through posts like this from time to time in hopes of finding another great widget or integrated/automated tidbit. In fact I've found a greater percentage of the plugins I currently use from posts just like this one. It's frustrating to visit a blog and think, "Wow, I love how they've done 'this; or 'that'!" only to find the ...

Web CEO : Free SEO Software
Let me start off by saying it's been a long time since I've used Web CEO software myself, so I can't give this much of a review yet. (Being a part of a top digital marketing company has it's advantages, including a lot of proprietary tools) However, when I saw it offered for free I though it was worth checking out again and at least sharing the information. (affiliate link) I downloaded the free version myself, I'll be using it over the next few weeks and will post a review, but don't wait on me - download it and see what you think of it ...
