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

Using logical operators (AND / OR) in Google Analytics Goal Funnels
When setting up a Funnel within Google Analytics, is it possible to use logical operators (e.g. OR, AND) in the first (required) step of the funnel? For example, suppose I want to track users who visit page1.html AND page2.html before proceeding to the destination goal. I've entered two pages separated by the OR operator, and neither the "Verify this Goal" nor "Save" produces an error message - is it safe to assume that this is working as I intend? Thanks in advance!

How to filter out traffic from subdomain using regex?
Hi There, We have a test server that lives on a subdomain which we'd like to filter out in Google Analytics. We're using the hostname filter but are having trouble understanding the regex needed, we're using this as the filter pattern: .domain.com. Will that work? The profile is new so we can't test the pattern. Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated. Cheers Ben

Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools Setup for Agencies
Hi, As agencies, what are people finding to be the best practices for allowing multiple members of the agency's team to access client WMT and GA data? Have a generic "analytics@myagency.com" account that's used for the shares, that anyone in the agency can use as needed (limited, of course, not admin). Have the individual person at the company use their company email for the share for each particular client? employee@agency.com. Yet what happens when we need someone else to check the GA or WMT data? Any advice is much appreciated.

Best top 5 actionable insights from Google Analytics
Buongiorno from 14 degrees C cloudy wetherby UK 🙂 With a whole gamut of books out there are written around the topic of "Actionable Web analytics" where you have to wade through chapters of how to suck eggs and how to get analytics part of your business culture (whatever! most clients who look after their websites are entry level Marketing Execs who pay the digital agencies to do the thinking for them) I'd like to cut to the chase and list out say a top 5 of actionable insights a client would actually give the time of day for so heres my top five, whats yours? 1. Landing page bounce - showing them the £5k landing page designed with no conversion thinking is turning off customers
Reporting & Analytics | | Nightwing
2. Synching up PPC campaigns to analytics and showing them how much money they are waisting
3. Goal funnels - Showing them there 20 step shopping conversion funnel gets abandoned at step 3
4. Non brand keyword traffic (although a stack of this gets blocked by "not provided" Big groan...)
5. Event tracking on there 10 page carousel anner showing them no one clicks on banners 2 - 10 So under the strict label of "Actionable data only" from Google analytics whats your best insights you share with clients in the hope that they may actually give data reports the time of day! Grazie tanto,

Can you link several sites together in Google Webmaster Tools?
I have a client saying that there is a way to link 3 separate websites (A website for each department of a company) in Google Webmaster tools to tell Google it's basically one site but really its 3. Or to tell Google it's the same company and all the sites are one. I have never heard of this & I don't see the point in making 3 separate small sites & "linking" them as one in Webmaster tools. Is there in fact a way? Am I out to lunch on what they might be referring to? I am recommending they create one larger authority site with a page on each department & earn links for each department page & provide informative unique content for each page. Thoughts? Thanks for the help!

Analytics tagging parameters effect on site SEO
One of the effective tools used in analytics tagging is the use of analytics parameters that starts with '?' or '#'. Example on site tagging: Main link: www.domainname.com./category/sub-category/ www.domainname.com./category/sub-category/?lid=topnav www.domainname.com./category/sub-category/?lid=sidenav All three links link to the same landing page, with an extra parameter. Using email or campaign tagging: www.domainname.com./category/sub-category/ www.domainname.com./category/sub-category/?utm_source=launch&utm_medium=email&utm_term=html&utm_content=getscoop&utm_campaign=hwdyrwm2012 With that we create many tagged links based on the campaign internal strategy. How do these effect indexing, and link juice? How do thy effect SEO in general?

Why doesnt Seomoz give daily ranking updates
Although a little obsessive I can't be the only one checking rankings on a daily basis. Indeed if such a practice was not widespread then software such as linktracker wouldnt exist. It's a shame that Seomoz has the functionality to check rank, however chooses to only do so once per week. Therefore we pay for tools such as link tracker in addition to Seomoz. Here starts a petition for daily updates!!! 😉
