Link harverster

Keep track of who's linking to you and how often they're doing it! Or monitor the same information as it applies to your partners and competitors - it's important to stay well-informed.

The Link Harvester is, in that sense, a great information-gatherer. Just enter a URL, and, using the Yahoo and MSN APIs, the tool yields lists of unique linking domains and unique C block addresses, among other information. Peruse the lists at your leisure and continue on your path to search engine success.

AdSense Preview Tool

You've worked hard to perfect your site, and the ads Google places on it shouldn't detract from that vision. After all, ads are as visible as anything else on a page. So use the AdSense Preview tool to see what sort of stuff may appear.

Just enter a URL, select an AdSense ad format, and the tool will give its best guess of what Google would serve up. Checking this out can be especially useful when you're overhauling or updating a page; make sure everything is complementary and you'll have a well-coordinated online campaign.

Keyword list cleaner

Keyword lists can be extremely useful, and they can be found in any number of places. But they may not always be in a useful format, and, for that matter, may not be limited to recognizable English words. The Keyword List Cleaner & Number Stripper tool can help you address and resolve these issues.

Just enter a list and it'll remove numbers and strange punctuation marks. The tool can also eliminate any words that you deem "bad" or undesirable as key terms. Use the cleaned list as grounds for achieving search engine success!

Search Saturation

There's a lot to say for carefully targeted campaigns, but another strategy involves saturation. After all, in just about any drawing or contest, the person with the most entries has the best shot at winning, and online campaigns can work in a similar fashion.

The Search Engine Saturation Tool will let you know how many pages you (and your competitors) have indexed with the leading search engines. Just input the URLs, and you'll be on your way to understanding the odds and achieving /search engine success.

Difficult keywords

Targeting the wrong keyword can leave you battling giants; targeting the right one can lead to search engine success. So, depending on your current ranking, it may be best to avoid hotly contested keywords and go for those that are ripe for the taking.

The Keyword Difficulty Check tool will guide you on your way. Just type in a keyword or phrase, and it lets you know how easy or difficult it would be to rank for that term. Get high rankings for less-common keywords, or at least know what you're getting into with more popular words.

Know link prices

Don't pay too much (or get paid too little) for links! Whether you know nothing or everything about page rank, traffic, and back links, other factors can still make this business a guessing game.

That's why the Link Price Calculator does all the necessary computations for you. Just enter the address of the website in which you're interested, and it'll return a fair link price in U.S. dollars. The Link Price Calculator will help you save - or make - money.

Links & link ratios

Links are important to any online campaign, but their effect can vary from keyword to keyword. Use the Deep Link Ratio Tool to see how they play a role in your particular industry.

Enter any word or phrase you like, then sit back and let the tool work. Once done, it will report the top ten sites for that term, and reveal their number of links and deep link ratios. Consider shaping your campaign in terms of quantity versus quality accordingly, and you may match their success.

Keyword Discovery

There's not an endless number of words or phrases, but there are more than any one person is likely to think about. Use the Free Search Term Discovery Tool, then, to find keywords to fit your needs.

The Tool collects data from around 150 search engines; all the major American ones are covered, and so are some based in other countries. Just enter a term in which you're interested, and the Tool will return all the results you could want. One consequence: your online campaign should do better.

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.

Meta tags

Meta tags may not provide a magical boost, but they certainly won't hurt an online campaign. In order for them to work, though, you'll need to use them properly.

The META Analyzer can provide a sort of final check; once your work is done, just paste in your site's URL and click "show meta data." Make sure the page titles, meta descriptions, and meta keywords are all displaying the way you want them to, and then rest in the knowledge that your campaign has an extra edge.M
