Keyword Playground

It's vital that you optimize for the most popular keywords and phrases within your industry. Determining these keywords can be tricky, however, and guessing incorrectly can result in a lot of wasted effort.

Keyword Playground lets you skirt that whole mess by simply typing one word on which your site is focused; the tool then returns a list of keyword suggestions and the number of searches that they're involved in each month. Now you can know what's popular and act accordingly.

Best Keywords

Many keyword creation tools make suggestions based on a single word or phrase, and this is fine. But another approach is to create suggestions based on your site, and the Free Open Source Common Words Google Rank Checking Tool does exactly that.

Just enter your URL, and the Tool will return a list of up to ten keywords from as many as the top 1000 sites. See if your site's emphasizing the things it should be, and if it is, you'll be one step closer to search engine success.

Duplicate Content

Things tend to be most valuable when they remain rare. Duplicate - or even similar - content can really hurt your rankings. Make sure this isn't happening by using the Page Comparison tool.

Simply enter two URLs, and the tool will compare page titles, meta descriptions, and meta keywords. It'll then compute the percentage similarity in content between the two pages. Stay unique and achieve search engine success.

Indexed Pages

We're all familiar with the concept of ego searches -
they're a matter of seeing who's writing about you, and
how much they're doing it.
A sort of ego search relating to
relating to your site and search engines could be equally useful.

The Indexed Pages tool can provide something along those lines -
just enter a URL, and it'll report the number of links found through Google, Yahoo, MSN, Alta Vista, and AlltheWeb. The tool is a
great way to gauge the success of your online campaign.
