SEO Research Toolkit

I have a bookmark folder in my browser. I have a collection of links on it. I have named the folder as “SEO Research Toolkit”. It has some SEO and Research related toolkit which I use to create, manage and track my websites and competitors. I just thought that I will put them on my blog so that people can also get benefited from it. I will add some comments from my side

So here is the list:

  • Google Adwords Keyword Tool - The most famous and most used tool to find keywords and the number of search for the keyword.
  • FREE Wordtracker Keyword Suggestion Tool - I use it with Adwords Keyword suggestion tool and Overture keyword suggestion tool to find more keywords.
  • Keyword Ranking Monitor - I use this to monitor rankings for ALL of my sites on Google for various keywords.
  • SEOBook Keyword Tool - A great tool to find related keywords and competition on it.
  • Search Engine Spider Simulator - I use it to see how search engine spiders see my site. I use this to see whether I am using the right ratio of HTML and text in my page.
  • SpyFu - This tool can help you spy on your competition. I use it to see how many advertisers are available for each keyword and how much they are willing to pay.
  • Copyscape - I use this tool to verify that nobody is copying my content. Also to verify that the article writers I am using are not copying the content from any other website.
  • Google Trends - To find the latest keywords to create websites on.
  • Google Zeitgeist - To find recent host topics to create websites on.
  • PR Calculator - Quite old but still useful. I use to while building links to get approximate idea of how much links I need to build.
  • Domain Pop BackLink Checker - I use it to check my backlinks.
  • Dead Link Checker - To verify that there are no dead links on my site. I also regularly check my awstats to find any dead links on my site.
  • Top 500 Search Engine Keywords Of The Week - They recently stopped updating it, but it was a good resource to find out what is being hot in this week.
  • SEOMoz Page Strength Tool - I use it while buying new websites.
  • Keyword Density Checker - I use it to check the keyword density on my web pages to see that I comply

I hope this list if of good use to you. Is there any other tool you use (other than your own site :) ) then post in the the comments. I would love to add it.

    Nice collection of tools.
    In this list, second link - “Overtrue keyword suggestion tool” - wrongly has landing page of this site’s homepage.
    Plz rectify that and tell us which tool do u use for Overtrue.
    I may be wrong, but as I know… Yahoo!Overtrue is no longer working. Hope you will help us for alternate of ‘Overtrue’ other than ‘Trellian’.
    Also we are waiting for ‘eChemotherapy’ update.
    ….thanks
