What are the top free tools to use in SEO (apart from SeoMoz of course)
-
Hi guys,
Can you point me the best free tools you're using for SEO (link building, etc.) - apart from SeoMoz - I'm kind of newbie in that area and in a discovering process.
Thanks !
-
Well I would then look at what you can carry genes either SEOmoz which you apparently have already and Majestic seo which is a outstanding tool you can earn raven, SEOmoz, Majestic seo and it is still pay less useing SpyderMate so that's what I will try
-
I tried buzzstream and seriously I don't think it's that good.
Well you can argue that it finds a few links opportunities but I'd say if you have a few programming skills you can do a far better job using various APIs around.
So, hummm not so great
-
Well I want to say thank you to everyone and welcome Zed to SEOmoz. there is another tool that is fantastic that thanks Stephen Moore outstanding tools is just great thing to use distilled the company that worked so closely with SEL models and took over their consulting work has a few tools and excellent training tool you can save 10% today with (10% off with 'blueprint' discount).

it is very easy to answer. SEM Rush, majestic Seo, hub spot and Raven tools
I hope that helps.

IMO this question is very difficult to answer. There are many different tools that may help one niche and not another. Also, there are many opinions on each tool.
Here is a great link for tools/articles that are rated by real people: http://inbound.org/tools

SCO 5 I'm so sorry man I thought I was talking to the other guy. I'm glad you agree I think as you must know as well is just gets ridiculous to try to actually run a real campaign on free tools.
All best man
is 100% worth it really the only way to do it is to spend the money. Take a look at this deal majestic seo and seomoz are the best for link building. All along with a great tool called http://www.buzzstream.com/link-building/plans-pricing#features which if you are a Seomoz Pro member you can get for 50% off and the total cost is only $19 a month take a look at the link. I would get that and to round it out spider mate
http://www.buzzstream.com/link-building/plans-pricing#features 19 bucks a month -50% 10 bucks
then I would actually pay for the $49 a month plan with spider after your 1st full free no credit card asked for month see how you like it but that way you'll have all your bases covered.
can I ask you what type of a platform your running on?
sincerely
Thomas
ps if you want some amazing tools for a 60 day trial Google hub spot 60 day trial if you use WordPress or any thing at all it will work very well. But I would stick with Buzz stream and spider I hope I've helped you
-
i agree with Thomas, free tools come with lots of limitations. It's worth it to invest money on solid SEO tools.

I hate to be that guy but
SEO Quake is a plug-in for browser or you can use it on the site in the light version but the full version costs and it's part of SEM Rush. http://www.semrush.com/prices.html
Backlink watch back link watch costs http://www.gtslinkbuilding.com/buy-backlinks
SEM Rush http://www.semrush.com/prices.html
Majestic SEO site explorer Another excellent tool whenever it does offer free version but it's not practical so if you want something that's worth anything here's the cost https://www.majesticseo.com/plans-pricing?
http://www.woorank.com/ It is not a free tool it cost money after 2 times a lot pricing http://www.woorank.com/#pricing
You just mentioned all excellent tools. all the Google tools are free however I didn't even bother to check out X-linked sleuth however I do believe it is free. Don't you think that this guy would be better off with a tool similar to Raven for $19 month SpyderMate SEO Tools does a lot for that money. I'm trying to keep him from having to do run one site and then move on to the next free trial.
I hope I have not offended you all because those are good ways of getting data and honest I wouldn't know them if I didn't use them however to use them in their full capacity or true capacity is extremely expensive.
Sincerely,
Thomas,
PS
if you can find a better all-around tool please tell me what you know of spider made popped into my head and I know it's good

100% free? Google Webmaster tools, Bing Webmaster tools there are light versions of many SEO applications if you want something that incorporates a little bit of everything like Raven tools does however does not cost nearly as much try SpyderMate SEO Tools http://spydermate.com/ for only $19 a month you get access to SEOmoz, majestic Seo, SEM Rush and Google analytics works with it. Like I said it's very close to Raventools And if you're just starting out it is a perfect way to go instead of waste your time with something that's free. There are tons of sites on the Internet that will give you quick breakdown of page rank and small things but will not get down to the nitty-gritty of the links, keywords, and content analysis. SpyderMate SEO Tools Does that for $19 a month. They also have free iPhone out that's really impressive. I think if you ask anyone else they will tell you an app that combines SEOmoz, majestic Seo, SEM Rush and Google analytics along with giving you full access to them like Raven tools for $19 is a steal.
I hope I have been of some help to you, please remember do not waste your time on the free stuff I haven't found any myself that's any good.
Sincerely,
Thomas Zickell

Unsolved Google Analytics (GA4) recommendations for SEO analysis?
Guides on Moz and elsewhere mostly refer to Google Analytics' Universal Analytics (UA). However, UA is being replaced with GA4, and the interface, options, and reporting are very different. Can you recommend a clear, thorough, and effective walkthrough of how to set up useful SEO reports in GA4? Is there a simple tool you recommend that will help connect historical data from UA to GA4 when GA4 is the only option available? If there's no simple tool, what values do you recommend retaining from UA for effective historical reporting? How would you use them? At minimum for reporting, I'd want to show month-to-month changes and year-to-year changes (in percentages and in real numbers) for the following: all site visits all organic visits organic visits as a percentage of all site visits organic visits that led to a specific goal completion organic visits that led to any goal completion Thanks in advance for your help!

How to filter blog pageviews using segments with regex
I must be overcomplicating this. I have a website with a blog structure that includes year subfolders, so: website.com/2019/blog-title, website.com/2018/blog-title, website.com/2017/blog-title, etc. I want to create a segment that I can apply in Site Content > All Pages to get quick stats for all blogs, regardless of year. (Pageviews, time on site, etc.) Unfortunately, Content Drilldown doesn't work well here as it is grouping by each year. I have tried setting up a segment using regex, but am getting a mixture of all pages, not just blog pages. I have set up the segment the following way: Advanced > Conditions > Page, Matches Regex, /2019/(.*?)/ Advanced > Conditions > Page, Matches Regex, /2018/(.*?)/ Advanced > Conditions > Page, Matches Regex, /2017/(.*?)/ Am I going about this all wrong? Is my regex wrong? Any advice is appreciated! Side note: glaringly obvious that now is the time to clean up my URLs. But I'd still love to see the data in its current URL state. Thank you!

Google Webmaster Tools is showing wrong data - help?
Hey all, I'm seeing some weird problems with Webmaster Tools. Specifically: We've submitted a sitemap with 174k URLs. According to the WMT dashboard, only 21 are indexed, though if you search our site via site:sitename.com blah blah, there are thousands of pages returned. Why is WMT only showing 21 indexed pages? Yet if I go to Health -> Index Status, it's showing nearly 199k URLs indexed. This seems consistent with searching Google site:sitename.com blah blah. Under "Search Queries", it's showing "no data available". Not sure why as it's linked to the proper Google Analytics account, which has keyword data. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks.

Why Webmasters Tools verification meta tags change??
Why do these keep changing for sites that I have verfied over and over and over and over? About a month goes by and the meta code has changed and the site is unverified again. Seems like a trick to force you into logging into Webmaster Tools all the time. What gives???
