Tips on the best free tools or techniques to promote your site
-
Hi i would like to know after receiving lots of email about tools to help with seo and promoting your site and would like to know if anyone has used any as yet. I have kept away from paid tools as i have been reading that they are a waste of time but would like to know your thoughts.
I would also like to know if there are any good free tools out there to use to help make your site better and increase traffic and if there are any techniques or sites that i should be using
any advice would be great

Hi Diane,
I'd check out some of the responses you got to a similar question about paid tools that may help you, in case you weren't subscribed to the answers when they came through. http://www.seomoz.org/q/has-anyone-used-paid-services-to-help-improve-their-site

For site audit to find duplicate content ot missing title tags I use Screaming Frog. Free up to 500 pages, then you have to pay for larger sites. Using this tool will let you know what to fix on your site and help improve the site.

Setting up a separate site for link building
We are jump starting a link building campaign for a personal injury law firm. We're planning on doing things right with earning links to content people will actually want to share, sponsoring local events, etc. We're a little worried that some good opportunities could be missed due to the fact some people have assumptions about personal injury lawyers and would be hesitant to link to us simply because of our injury, regardless of what we're trying to share/promote. One solution we're considering is creating a foundation associated with the firm that supports relevant causes and provides the public with educational resources. That might get over our branding hurdle a bit. We've also discussed setting up a separate site for the foundation and actually building links to it rather than our main site, then linking the foundation site to our main site. The hope would be that we could get more links to the foundation site and it would in turn pass on link juice to our main site. My concern is whether this strategy makes any sense. We'd be putting good content on this foundation site rather than our main site. How much link juice would actually be passed on to our main site in this case? Would so much be lost that it would negate the whole purpose?

What to do with a new good looking site?
With a new site comes new challenges. We have recently finished one of our clients websites in the Retirement (financial) field. www.retirementireland.ie In my opinion the site is looking good, fast loading(very little js, optimized images) and good SEO structuring. As being a new site i feel like the decisions taken now are crucial. If SEO is done properly could save a lot of time. If not would take us a while until we get 1-5 positions for retirement, retirement options, retirement planning, retirement ireland. Any thoughts on existing design / structure / content. Any extra suggestions are welcome.
