Best tool for drawing sitemaps?
-
Drawing up sitemaps is one of those tasks that seems to take me twice as long to do electronically that it does on paper. Unfortunately, sitemaps scribbled on sheets of A4 paper aren't much good for sending and sharing.
So, Mozzers, what tool or software do you recommend for drawing up sitemaps quickly and easily?
So far I've tried using Visio, Excel and Word but if there's a dedicated tool out there, that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers

are you able to generate a website diagram based off a sitemap.xml ?
-
I've gone back to visio. I know it isn't cheap, but I worked out that the other tools were losing me more money in waasted time.

While its not made specifically for sitemaps, but for small to medium sites we use MindNode for mac, Its a really easy to use tool. Clients seem to like the look of it also. Its also free!
-
http://writemaps.com/ hands down. Its a free online tool.
You can also search for "free visual sitemap generator" on Google
Thanks,

Or if you are Win user, you can use Dia. It looks really ugly, but its free and relatively capable.

If you are mac user, try OmniGraffle. One of the best tools, I've evere worked with.

Keyword Research tool time-effort equivalent
SEOMoz's keyword research tool is awesome, but what does the competitiveness actually mean in terms of time/effort? I've read the help file which is great but to get an idea, to rank for highly competitive keywords, is that 12 months of constant effort, link-building and keyword buying or more like 3 months? (how massive is massive?) I know its a hard question to answer, but an idea would be awesome. Thanks to anyone that can answer in advance...

What's the best way to find ranking keywords and phrases?
What's the best way to find ranking keywords and phrases? I have tried Google Keyword Tool but it just doesn't do the job for me (or I'm using it wrong). My main focus is people who are looking for energy saving tricks, but I'm not sure if this is the right keyword / keyphrase. The goal of this question is not to get other people to do the research for me, but rather to find the right tools and usage of those tools for the job.

What Tools Can Be Used To Determine Kw's I Should Be Optimizing For ?
What Tools Can Be Used To Determine Kw's I Should Be Optimizing For ? My concern is that I may be optimizing certain pages with wrong kw phrases and building backlinks to wrong kw phrases that are not a good conversion keyword for the services that I am selling. What are the various ways and tools that can be used to determine if I am optimizing for the right kw's phrases and not the wrong ones that will not convert into a lead from the optin form. I am wondering if ppc spy tools such as spyfu, semrush help me identify if I in fact am opitimizing for the right kw's ?
