Lots of thanks emilia for your help!

I use a lot of the ones you've mentioned here too, but in addition: SEM Rush - which I don't think anyone has mentioned yet?
It's good for Rankings, competitor analysis, adwords analysis and SEO audits - it finds broken links, missing alt text, dupliacte meta tags etc etc. I find the reports it generates quite helpful and easy to use. I've used it for keyword analysis too in the past, but as my site is up and running I don't really do a lot of this anymore - I know what keywords bring in traffic... I'm pretty sure that I only scratch the surface of it and that there is a lot more to be got from it, but I only have so many hours in a day!!!
I don't just use one tool though - I use a few at once and combine the findings. I don't expect one tool to do it all
Hope this helps,
Amelia

You are right! Thanks for your answer.

No such thing as best tool for seo. Seo is huge, so there are different tools for different purposes.
-
That tool is similar to Accuranker. If you have time, you should try it.

No, sorry.
-
I don't know Accuranker, I use CuterRank. ¿Do you know that?
-
Accuranker is cheap, and allows me to instantly see how a page ranks for new content, and for after content is updated. I find it invaluable, as you can submit a page to webmaster tools via fetch and then check rankings 5 minutes later to see the effect (noting, you may see an initial effect and then some days later get more movement).
Cognitive SEO is great if you need full backlink data, i.e. for link cleanups etc or if you get hit by negative SEO etc. Basically it is cheaper than signing up to ahrefs, majestic and moz. Although Moz is great for all the other tools.
-
And the last tools that you say to me, are they good?
-
I use MOZ, screaming frog, semrush, ahrefs, cuterrank, xenu (I have started since Monday) and I don't remember more.
-
I only use two currently:
- Moz
- Accuranker (great rank tracker where you can update your rankings instantly as many times as you want)
- Occasionally I will use cognitiveseo as this takes in Moz, Ahrefs and majestic link data as well as webmaster tools data from your account and is useful for cleaning up backlinks (I was hit by negative seo last year).
I have tried many other tools, but these are the ones I keep going back to.
-
What tools do you use, and maybe I could recommend some others that way
-
Thanks Andy. I know all of them but I am going to search new tools for SEO. I hope that I am lucky. Thanks for all.
-
Lots of thanks! I use more tools but I would like to try new tools. I know all of them but thanks for your answer.
-
Unfortunately there isn't a 1 amazing tool like everyone has said, its all about using multiple tools and using the best tool to meet the specific task you are trying to complete.
It also depends on what budget you have for SEO software, I am quite fortunate in that I have quite a lot of the software agreed by my MD, but I know some who really struggle.
I use:
- Moz
- Rankwatch - for rank tracking
- Ahrefs
- Searchmetrics
- SEMRush
- Majestic
- Screaming frog
And those are the ones i use frequently there a couple more i have that I cant remember of top of my head that I use for certain tasks and projects.
I wish there was a one best solution, all the above solutions are good, but not great in isolation and need to be used together.
Thanks
Andy

SEO tools are like personal assistants:
- you will never find the "best"
- they never do your job (only assist you/speed you up)
- if you have the budget to have more, you get more work prepared by them
That is my shortlist
I personally use Screaming Frog + Moz, + Majestic + Xovi
I hope this helps.

Hello Carlos,
There isn't something like the best SEO tool, it always depends on you. I suggest you to test some tools (most of them have a free test month) and decide what works out best for you.

What is the best way to take advantage of this keyword?
Hi SEO's! I've been checking out webmaster tools (screenshot attached) and noticed that we're getting loads of long tail searches around a search query 'arterial and venous leg ulcers' - on a side note we're a nursing organisation so excuse the content of the search!!! The trouble is that google is indexing a PDF page which we give out as a freebie:
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | 9868john
http://www.nursesfornurses.com.au/admin/uploads/5DifferencesBetweenVenousAndArterialLegUlcers1.pdf This PDF is a couple of years old and needs updating but its got a few links pointing to it. Ok so down to the nitty gritty, we've just launched a blog:
http://news.nursesfornurses.com.au/Nursing-news/ We have a whole wound care category in which this content belongs, and i'm trying to find the best way to take advantage of the search, so I was thinking: Create an article of about 1000 words Update the PDF and re-upload it to the main domain (not the sub domain news.nursesfornurses.com.au) Attach the PDF to the article on the blog OR would it be better to host this on the blog, and setup a 301 redirect to this page? I just need some advice on how best to take advantage of this opportunity, our blog isn't getting much search traffic at the moment (despite having 300+ articles!!) and i'm looking into how we can change that. I look forward to your response and suggestions. Thanks! qtY64B10 -

Lost Links in Google Webmaster Tools
Last week I had over 1800 backlinks showing up in GWT. 4 days ago I had 20, and now I have 5. I have a very diverse link profile ranging from social bookmarks to YouTube, to Business Listings (Yelp, etc), and they're all gone. Clearly there is not a particular segment of my links that are being targeted here, they've all been completely wiped out. My rankings have fallen, and where I was on page 1/2 for all my targeted KWs, I'm now on Page 3, 4, and 5. There are no penalties showing up in GWT, so I'm completely at a loss as to what is going on. Please help! Website is: http://brownboxbranding.com

How to Best Establish Ownership when Content is Duplicated?
A client (Website A) has allowed one of their franchisees to use some of the content from their site on the franchisee site (Website B). This franchisee lifted the content word for word, so - my question is how to best establish that Website A is the original author? Since there is a business relationship between the two sites, I'm thinking of requiring Website B to add a rel=canonical tag to each page using the duplicated content and referencing the original URL on site A. Will that work, or is there a better solution? This content is primarily informational product content (not blog posts or articles), so I'm thinking rel=author may not be appropriate.

Wich is the best way to manage dup content in a intenational Portal?
We have a portal wich is only in spain and we started to internazionalized it to Argentina, Mexico and Colombia. Before we had a .com domain with content only for spain and now that domain is going to be global. so.. .com contains all the content and you can filter for country .es contains spanish content .com.ar contanis argenitian content Every thing is ok but the problem is that there is a content (online courses) that is in every country. What we thougt to do is: -online contect url canonical to .com domain -Geo content url canonical to .es, .com.ar domain (depending on the geo) Filters besidese .com and .es can give similar resoults we do not use canonical url or we will follow the rule above (if there is geo in .com filter then canonical to geo domain and if the filter is (online courses) then canonical to .com domain) What do you think about that? Thank you in advance.
