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

When analysing my inbound anchor text am I using by page or site?
When checking to see my anchor text profile to make sure it's not too dense with the same phrases, should I be measuring against my whole site or page specific? eg if i have 100 links across my site and 20 are for the same phrase this is 20%, but if the same 20 phrases are to one page and that page has 40 links this is 55% Many thanks Ash

Using advance segments or primary dimensions?
Hi guys, I haven't played around with advance segments enough to know the answer to this, so looking for some help. What I want to track is a keyword through the whole analytics, so I created an advance segment for "KEYWORD". This segment is Include - Keyword - "KEYWORD". Now when I remove the advance segment and do the following: Traffic Sources - Organic - Primary Dimension - Keyword - "KEYWORD" The amounts of visits differ a lot. I'm guessing this has to do with sessions? Looking for a clarification on this.

ROI in SEO
Hi there! I'm just doing the SEO for a client and I just don't know exactly how could I estimate the ROI associated to the SEO actions that are taking place. Should I only consider the conversions made via organic search? Is there another parameter, metric or item I must measure? . Is there something "formal" to follow'? I think I'm missing something. Thanks in advanced.

WMT tools - setting parameter for redirected URLs
Hi everybody. One of our clients has recently moved from one ecommerce platform to another. During the move, a huge number of URLs have been tidied up to remove dynamic parameters. The old URLs have been redirected to the new, tidy ones. My question is whether it's worth telling Google in the WMT URL parameters section not to index the parameters of the old URLs. Will this affect the redirects in any way? Thanks!
