What free app/tool do you wish existed?
-
Is there something you find yourself needing to do, but there is no tool to help you do it? A task you do all the time you're sure could be done easier with a nice app?
I'd love to hear about it! If we like your idea, we'll create it and make it 100% free (for linkbait, of course!).

I would like to monitor my competitor's link building. I give your tool 5 competing urls and then the tool accesses some backlink database to tell me (1) the number of newly discovered links for each url that day (like the MajesticSEO backlinks chart when using fresh data), and (2) lists the new links along with the estimated mozRank or something (so I can see if they got any really important new links). The goal would be to (1) keep tabs on competitor link building campaigns, and (2) identify places I should ask for links to maybe get similar links to what they recently got (ala the Competitive Link Research Tool at SEOmoz).
Another cool one would be something to tell me which keywords I should focus on among those I've optimized pages for. For example, if I have 100 pages optimized for 100 different keywords, the tool would go fetch the estimated traffic for each keyword from Google. Then it would estimate how much traffic each spot in the first 10 or 20 spots of the SERPs would be worth in terms of clicks (using the studies that show the 1st spot gets x% of the clicks, the 2nd spot gets y% of the clicks, and so on. Then it would lookup my current Google rankings for each keyword. Finally, it would give me a sorted list of ways to improve my organic traffic by comparing my current ranking with a targeted ranking (user-defined, perhaps) and say: If you moved "keyword 5 from its current spot 8 to a target spot 3 you would increase your organic traffic from this word by 200 clicks/day" (or something like that). And then repeat for every keyword. The reason I want this tool is that sometimes I find myself optimizing a long-tail keyword where even if I get the #1 ranking I may only get 5 clicks/month. Even those are possibly very highly targeted, the time spent achieving that #1 ranking might be better spent getting a #3 ranking for a keyphrase that has 1000x more traffic. A tool to help me prioritize time vs estimated reward would be helpful.

I personally wished there was a tool to convert my recipe website into a microformatted hrecipe website. This is proving to be a painful task because I have over 1500 recipes posted. There are some plugins that do this, but they are adding tons of extra code, and formatting that I do not want.

Flow of Authority/PR Distribution of Internal Links
OK, there are tons of Q&A on this subject but after about 20 mins of sifting through I found nothing on this. On the surface it is a simple idea but I'd like to hear a wide range of thought s on this. So if a page has 150 internal links and only about 3-5 external links, would it still be considered a good page to get a link from assuming it is relevant and authoritative? My thoughts have always been that too many links on a page, regardless of whether or not they are internal links or external links, will dilute that page's authority either way and that in turn makes it a poor link prospect. If PR/authority flows internally through links then my thoughts should be substantiated. And I think that we all agree that external links flow authority out from the domain AND the page. But internal links flow authority away from the page which should make a page with lots of internal links on it a poor target for a link.

Siloing/Sculpting... confusion....
Hiya, I saw that someone asked something similar to this here but I'm wondering if anything has changed. I've found some stuff exclaiming that siloing is a must, and should always be done. But then I've seen that you guys don't really endorse it, or at least in that Q&A you didn't and I can't find anywhere that you give instruction on the best way to do it, except a tiny bit by Richard Baxter here... and usually you do a lot more with everything that is worthwhile. So I guess my question is, where do you stand on it? and if you are for it, will Rand do a tutorial on the best way to go about it, with lots of diagrams and stuff at some point? 😄 Thanks, Steve.
