Free SEO Tools for SOHO

Purpose of SEO: customers

Search engine optimization for small business should be all about finding customers or business associates for you main business . SEO as an end in itself makes no sense otherwise. So even if you get to the top of the search engines, your website has to convert potential prospects into customers ot you've done a whole lot of work for nothing. So begin with end in mind of acquiring customers. For more information on a business that comes with customers built in fill out form on Contacts page. That being said, SEO starts with right keywords.

Free Keyword Suggestions

Keywords are a critical part of any website and there are several free seo tools available to help you. They will make a website work for you or against you. It starts at the time you pick a name for your website and your blog. Google views your website name as a keyword. So while my former website name "ybltd.ca" meant something to me, the chances of anybody typing in "ybltd" to find anything on Google ranges from zero to none. Conversly, you don't want a keyword that it too broad like "lifestyle" or "travel" or "leads" or "seo". The competition for these keywords starts at over 100,000,000. The chances of getting near the top on a Google search for these terms would be slim and probably very expensive.

 Free seo tools I frequently use are offered by Google Keyword Selector and Wordtracker. These tools give you a good idea how popular a keyword or keyword phrase is. Another website that offers free keyword help is Good Keywords. These free seo tools can prompt you to think of other keywords or keyword phrases that may be better than the ones you originally came up with.

Of course, you can always type in your keyword on Google and see how many pages are found--its gives you some idea about your competition. But it is not a good idea at all to use this as a reliable indicator of the value of a keyword. The fundamental fact about keywords is that they must be laser focused on what you do so people looking for what you will find you. (Now don't be going so narrow in focus so you can only find you--remember "ybltd".

     

Free Blogs

Blogs are really important from a search engine perspective. There are essentially 2 types of blogs--those primarily designed for search spiders spiders and those that people actually read. Blogs should be frequently updated and if there is an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds on your website, this counts towards improving or changing website content--something web spiders are always looking for. Luckily there are a number of free blogging websites on the internet which in turn offer some free seo tools. I like blogspot.com because its' simple to use, looks good and belongs to Google. One problem I have noticed with Blogspot: Twice I have received notices that I am spamming with my blog. Well if writing in your blog and posting some links is spamming then I am guilty. Doesn't everyone do that? At the top of every Google Blog is a "Flag" button where you can report if you think this Blog is spam. How easy is for a malicious competitor to report your blog as spam. Lately, I have stopped using Blogspot for this reason. Another one I could and have used, is Wordpress. It too, is simple to use, and is highly recognized. I now use Blogfather at Veretekk.

As I stated under "Keywords" above, I am looking to match up my website names with a blogging username. If I can't get it at Google, I go to Wordpress and if I can't get it there, I'll look elsewhere.

Free Website Tracking

The one I am using now seems to work fine with lots of useful information provided in an understandable fashion. http://www.expertcounter.com

Free Website Submissions

Anytime to finish a website you should submit the URL to Google right away. Just do a search for "submit Url" and find the Google website for doing it. Also free is Submit Express which submits your website to 40 search engines. You can sign up for it's newsletter which is sometimes interesting.

Free Blog Pings

If you have a blog and you update it with a new post, you should let people know about it. PingMyBlog is a useful and effective service that does it for you quite nicely. Also if you have a blog you should list it with Technorati which probably the best Blog Directory around.
